Not sure which part you were in, but this is just not true in my experience. I've been to Beijing, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and some others, and Mandarin really is a must if you want to even have a chance of communicating. I can't ima

My father-in-law here in China uses handwriting input, but everyone else I've seen here uses Pinyin, and it's totally fast and natural for them. And very true about the English. With some exceptions (of course), folks here maybe k

Bingo. I doubt the Open Handset Alliance would've gotten off the ground had they charged the kind of licensing fees common at the time by Symbian and Windows Mobile. What would convince manufacturers to pay into an (at the time) remark

Ironically, not really the shill as many would think.

Heard of the Intel Management Engine? https://www.zdnet.com/article/minix-intels-hidden-in-chip-op... Little doubt AMD has something similar.

The end of that comment took me pretty quickly from "software applications?? nah" to "oh wow, y'know that's actually a pretty apt analogy"

Without those entitlements, they would get slammed for being anticompetitive by not allowing 3rd party devs the privilege of building the things they want to build on the platform.

Ah, is Lingva Latina the one with Caecilius and his family? I had a Latin class in 7th grade and remember having a book of that same name, and I somehow remember the main father character's name. They had a dog too, I want to say his n

Exactly. 3D TV wasn’t a bad idea. It was just pushed a bit too hard too soon. There’s a reason 3D movies are still popular in theaters; people genuinely enjoy them and are willing to pay at least some premium for them. Frankly, I’d much rat

Lots of folks in tech have different opinions than you may expect. Many will either keep quiet or play along to keep the peace/team cohesion, but you really never know if they actually agree deep down. Their career, livelihoods, abilit

I mean, maybe. But these folks living on the smolweb can tend to over-estimate their importance/influence. I say this after spending a decent amount of time there, even building Gopher and Gemini (as in the protocol, not Google) client

I believe Popcorn Time worked this way, but I may be wrong. Never dug too deeply into it.

It's fascinating how this discussion about intelligence bumps up against the limits of text itself. We're here, reasoning and reflecting on what makes us capable of this conversation. Yet, the very structure of our arguments, the

Same, such fun memories. Those were some good times.

Well hey, if that's his style, and he can find the confidence to "own" it, the right kind of girl will appreciate him for it. (As long as it's not too outlandish of a sock combo, ha)

I do something very similar! Just mix and match. Never really looks bad IMO; and anyone who disagrees hasn't said so yet… and their opinion probably doesn't matter anyway!

你说得对，你首先需要学中文。Otherwise you'll have a tough time out here. But once you've got the language to a decent place, it's pretty nice. I'm hesitant to express how much I like it here, though… I look at what's happening wi

It should at LEAST be ARM (or perhaps RISC-V once it matures more)… but honestly it's just not going to be practical anytime too soon.

That's really insightful, actually. Dang.

Exactly… and look where that got us. Sometimes platform makers really do know best. Just because something is beneficial to the business (exclusivity) doesn't mean it's not also simultaneously beneficial to users.

Gosh, I remember that so well and fondly miss it. Was a wild, whimsical time for sure. They made other fun "haxies" (as they called them) too, but ShapeShifter was always the coolest. To this day I remember my favorite was the gre

It's something about how they have it configured. I have a '17 Honda Civic and its built-in CarPlay lets me pan and scroll just fine. However, on my '23 Ascent, I have to tap arrows to pan the map, and vertical "scrollin

Seconding this! I've ported a GMS2 project over to SwiftGodot, and it's been great to work with. As I ported over the code, the Swift compiler even caught a bug or two that I'd missed back when it was written in GML!
