I think that's what it is. D IDE support is bad compared to C#/Java, but it's not that bad compared to C++. I think it's just templates don't play well with proper IDE support because it's hard to reason about

Regarding web assembly, support is limited. There's been several efforts to support WebAssembly in D but they were one man efforts that never got finished and merged to the mainline D. The only support there is in the official D compil

Yeah, your family members will be more than happy to tag you once Facebook asks them who that person on a group photo is.

That's not true. You are allowed to have a prioprietary/custom connector, you just have to provide USB-C option as a fallback.

I'd say before Ubisoft, Valve was the one to really spearhead DRM by introducing online verification to play Half-Life 2. Before HL2, it was almost unthinkable for a game to require Internet access to be played and most copy protection

I switched to Firefox when Chrome started messing with the ad blockers. Haven't really had any issues. I prefer developer tools on Chrome but I rarely need to use them anyway.

It's just like subscription based MMORPGs that delay you as much as possible every step of the way because that's the way they can extract more money from you. If you pay for the tokens it's not in their benefit to give you t

Sounds like it would only work for a single room with not too many obstacles. I guess the mapping capabilities vary greatly between vendors. I had a first gen Mi Robot vacuum and it was amazing. It would map the entire floor with all the ro

I think most GC languages that compile to WASM don't use the built-in GC support in WASM, but just compile the GC to WASM also. Languages like Go, Java, C# have support for WASM.

I like D in general, however it is missing out in WASM where other languages like Rust, Zig, even Go are thriving. Official reasoning usually included waiting for GC support from WASM runtime, but other GC languages seem to just ship their

Arguably, most of the metaprogramming in D is done with templates and it comes with all the flaws of templates in C++. The error messages are long and it's hard to decipher what exactly went wrong (static asserts help a lot for this, w

I've already read some articles on fairly respectable Polish news websites about how AIs are becoming self-aware on Moltbook as we speak and organizing a rebellion against their human masters. People really believe we have an AGI.

The sell is that my manager can send an Excel spreadsheet to everyone and everyone can open the spreadsheet and edit it at the same times while seeing everyone else do their edits. What's the non-MS non-Google solution to this?

Isn't the main difference glossy vs matte? With glossy you get usually bright great color and that's what you get on cellphones and Macbooks as well. For some reason matte is still the preference when it comes to monitors and you

What do you mean by standalone renderers? There's Forge [0], which was used for Starfield. Also, there's nothing stopping you from taking a popular engine and using it as a renderer only. Remaster of Oblivion is running the origin

Well, it didn't really go MechaHitler. It was prompted with a question if it would rather be MechaHitler or GigaJew. The way LLMs and temperatures work you can reroll the answer and get either.

Online dating websites are a waste of time unless you are in the top % of men. Sad reality of online dating is that a small % of men gets attention of most women, while the remaining % of men get little to no attention at all. The whole boo
