Hm, surely it must have been later than 2007 that they split? Wasn't Reach made by Bungie?

Meh, everyone doesn't have to cater to the lowest common denominator all the time. Besides, I can't say I find the geminispehere very elitist or excluding after browsing it on and off for a year or so. There are no gatekeepers apa

In my experience, generating documentation from code is a fools errand (unless it's API documentation). The key (and hard part) to documenting existing code is to understand which details emphasize and which ones can be left out. I rea

When I did some Zig a month or so ago, I had great help looking at the tests, e.g.[1]. That being said, the state of the documentation is also the reason why I gave up on it for now. But I'm sure it will improve over time. [1] https:&

My current (air gapped) development environment includes CDE 1.6.2 on Solaris 10. At some point some devs found this to be a bit... dated, and decided to roll WM flavour of the day: Fluxbox. Sadly, one of the X components was missing from S

Sorry no, we just used various apps and reduced the lists they provided manually. Usually the lists local to my country are only a thousand or so names long, so it's fairly quick work. I think that might be a bit more tedious for the U

Yup, that was important to us as well for our first kid. And we actually ended up with a name we're very pleased with (and one that had never really crossed my mind before), something I honestly didn't think would be possible when

Yup, they're great. At work they've become almost legendary. Usually one can only find bic pens and the like, but occasionally these make their way to a cupboard somewhere and once word gets out it is immediately raided. I even bo

As someone in this process right now, my reasoning is more like this: remove "Adolf", remove all names that end with 'y' (local rule), remove all names already taken by close friends and colleagues (you wouldn't wan

Personally I find the Uni-Ball Vision Elite overrated, and favour the simpler and more understated Uni-Ball Eye over it. They're also better to chew on.

As an owner of a fairly new one of these, I sometimes dream of someone coming up with an accessory that converts the audio notifications into light notifications. A small LED would do. I realize different colors for different desires are t

Yes, I would agree. Making it "difficult" to drive or more attractive to ride a bike in city centers aren't enough to make people get ditch their cars here, as people rely on them for so many other reasons.

Sure, but I don't see how that has anything to do with what I wrote. I'm sure Utrecht have found a good balance. My point was about smaller cities adopting the same kind of ideas (removing parking space, closing roads to cars), wh

Sweden. A city with the same population of Utrecht would make it the 4th largest in the country. The cities I had in mind are much smaller than that.

I think one needs to be a bit careful about copying this. I've noticed a similar anti-car trend (I don't mind bike lanes) in my country in recent years, but the cities are kind of too small for it to work. When they make it imposs

I remember some colleagues at work labeling me as a blue person a few years ago. I didn't pay much attention to it, as it came from the types of people you'd expect taking this kind of bait. I think the interesting thing here is h

I set DDG as my default search engine in Vivaldi on my phone a year or so ago. I've now developed the habit of typing 'g' (in Vivaldi you do not have to type the '!') in front of all my queries, even when using othe

I don't usually bother to complain about ads, but this site is really atrocious. It auto-played me 6 ads (including the same one several times) before playing the video (that I'm not interested in anyway). Then it keeps following

I'm in the same boat. I find Discord's UI a strangely unintuitive mess. Slow and clunky, and for some reason there's always a bunch of patches that need to be applied every time I start it. Patches that never seem to improve

I've also found the tests for the standard library pretty useful when digging around trying to figure out how to use stuff.

Personally I hope they get banned, but for the opposite reason. Them only being able to do 30 km/h leads to insane queues on some 70 km/h roads I regularly use, with dangerous overtaking as a result.

This sentiment is getting so fucking tiresome. Just don't use it if you don't like it.

Much like you program any other computer. At my shop we use C, C++ and Ada. Some problems suit themselves well to modeling, so something like Simulink can be used (which translates to C++). What throws people off is usually the fact that th

In my part of aviation (not in the US) we have a person responsible for each subsystem, and they very much risk going to jail if it turns out they've been negligent. If it's not safe, you don't sign the papers saying it is. P

Sure, there are some benefits to that for sure. But you'd still have a qualified "pilot", only somewhere else. With access to the same data as would be available in the cockpit, in order to be able to make the correct decisio

No, we cannot produce anything even close to as capable (and versatile). There is obviously work being done in this direction, but what I've seen has at best been able to augment parts of the operation envelopes.
