Is this something US specific? I lived those years (in Europe) as a teenager and I definitely remind people, including elders, teachers, etc, encouraging me to learn programming and computers. At worst there were a ton of them considering t

I think all things considered BG2 aged better - it had less exciting plot, but it balanced better all the aspects. That said, I would nudge Pillars of Eternity and Pathfinder: Kingmaker above PST as they have an equally good amount of story

I am a Planescape Torment extreme fanboy and... I have to agree. But it's still worth playing, it is still better than the median cRPG almost 25 years later, and it remains a milestone in cRPGs history: i.e. just like Sgt Peppers or Da

Unless by that you also mean running old OSs (e.g. Windows 95... but you probably can't run that already, in a world with UEFI and no A20) then you're fine: they are removing ring-0 32bit, but not ring-3 32bit.

Except that even Apple's ARC is not automatic - try passing the pointer to a GArray, or putting it on a malloc'ed linked list or any other data structure not implemented in Swift or ObjectiveC (provided that you compile objectiveC

If you don't, the compiler tells you to, as per standard Rust semantics.

No. Rust has RAII so you can have retain on 'clone' operations and release on drops, just like the native Rc/Arc types do. This is, incidentally, how the servo bindings to core-foundation work (I prefer those bindings where t

I, on the other hand, can't see a single reason why somebody would want a tablet. We've had some, and they all ended up forgotten in a drawer. Either I'm in a place where I have whatever limited portability I can (so I use th

I am the same. Some things (code, writing docs) I can only do them with music in the background, usually music that is either downtempo, instrumental or both (for the most part Pink Floyd, Sting, Mogwai, Morcheeba or several jazz/fusio

The concatenation operand makes sense though... String concatenation is hardly addition and for weakly typed languages it's easy for the + operator to end up doing the wrong thing instead of failing. Out of curiosity: what Lua interpre

That criteria would just say "every CPU is ok" because ultimately only potatoes are unfit to run those problems. And nobody wants a review website posting "just buy a Celeron or whatever costs less and be happy" for 15 y

I hope my dad is partying with yours in the ahem great-ISO-9000-in-the-sky. They would enjoy each other's company. And I would enjoy his, would give anything for 10. more. minutes.

This kind of thinking can either lead to total insanity or to the discovery of the halting problem or Cantor's diagonal argument.

When I was a kid I managed to lose the contents of my hard drive because I overwrote the FAT when playing with DEBUG to understand how it worked. Oh well, I guess that day I learned something after all.

Well, Licio Gelli ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Licio_Gelli ) is not just a "theory". Then, one can theorize whether there is more about P2 than it has been said or not, especially when it comes to well known

Yes. It's mildly embarrassing but I've learned most languages and tech in the same way: buy a book, leave it in the bathroom and whenever I pee or poop I open it at a random page and read. If it's a new page, good if not then

I remember reading somewhere that the estimated efficiency gain of having 2 gears on the Taycan is 5%. On a typical 60kWh battery car, that's 3kWh... hardly worth the effort nor the cost. On the Taycan it makes sense because top speed.

The Audi e-Tron debuted on 17 September 2018. The Kia e-Niro debuted on 18 September 2018. The Hyundai Kona was selling in the USA on November 2017. Are you referring to a different model? Because if we consider the e-Tron... it doesn'
