I'm disappointed it disappeared without the other side of the equation showing the same scale of improvement. Understandable reasons why it didn't happen, but disappointing.

Fortran H was faster than the fastest punchcard feeder of the time. That bottleneck is unfortunately long gone, without the same magnitude of improvement on the other side. (Physical limits, amazing optimisations, etc.) Last time I was work

Valve is also part of the Accessible Gaming Initiative, along with Microsoft and others. And Steam does already support the Xbox Adaptive Controller, along with a huge amount of control overlays, and if that isn't enough - SteamInput c

I actually find wisp [0] harder to read/write than just plain Scheme. But there's quite a few little reader projects that swap out the first layer of syntax for another. Lisp isn't entirely tied to one representation. [0] ht

Every corporate I know of, uses VPNs. Especially when workers connect from home. Is the UK government really interested in going up against the majority of their business partners...?

You can already play it in a favicon [0]. But as favicons can be svgs, and let you store foreign objects... You could store the whole thing in the favicon, but might also need a line of JS to extract it. [0] https://vidferris.git

Platforms are often part of the business requirements. If you're working on SAP or Salesforce, the language decisions are already made for you. If you're integrating with an existing Electron runtime, then you'll be using som

If its the disk version, you have the 32bit executable. That'll work just fine. It's when the executable is 64bit, but the rest of the engine isn't.

I provided no judgement. But, to actually provide it, I would call it a spectacular failure of cross-team communication. German QA flagged it as a problem. I haven't given attitude beyond providing a link to a story, when someone else

Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, and a lot of other early Source games will just outright crash. Crysis Wars, Word '03, the Saboteur are all in a similar boat. They're not address aware, meaning they overallocate at launch, and Wi

Some games that ran on Vista, can run under Wine, but not on Windows 11. The backwards compatibility story has changed in the last few years.

Half or more of the scientific research community live and breathe Python. Granted, it's Python 3.12, as 3.13 broke most of the C API, and everything COBOL and Fortran just about ground to a halt. But new projects are spun up constantl

ClickFix which used Windows Update, and LNK that used Microsoft's signing keys, would disagree. There are still large and ongoing attacks that exploit Windows, and they are a serious problem - its just the attackers are less pointed at

Just to expand... When the above user is comparing to Windows, who got most of the US government breached, I do think shade against AUR is uncalled for. Its just a community host for packages, comes with warnings, and isn't enabled by

WannaCry was able to successfully run on ReactOS in 2025. Most other virsuses do tend to crash, because the memory layout is just a tiny bit different, but yeah, compatibility means compatibility. Lots of malware comes along for the ride. H

Whilst that was certainly my gut reaction, looking at the report, they only count actual felonies where charges are laid. Protests and anti-Israel rather than antisemitic things do actually appear not to be conflated. However... Between 201
