I recently heard that the French have lobbied to prematurely ban this thing from flying over land in Europe as some kind of revenge for the US doing the same to the Concorde back in the day. Anyone else heard anything like that? Edit: tried

Meh, I don't know. The whole reason Steam even exist is because Valve decided to lock CS 1.6 and later HL2 behind it. It's a long time ago now, but the way I remember things people hated Steam for years before the general percepti

Excerpts clarifying what is meant by "partial mobilization": As I have said, we are talking about partial mobilisation. In other words, only military reservists, primarily those who served in the armed forces and have specific mi

Getting kind of tired of these idea that people should apologize for writing in C or C++. I'd much rather have people build useful stuff in whatever languages they're comfortable with, than having them not doing so. Security isn&#

And divide that by 2 and you'll have your salary in Europe. :)

I haven't written a lot of Rust, but every time I do I find myself trying to do something rather basic, google around a bit, only to have people telling me to just install crate so and so. While I do see the advantages of this and all,

Anyone care to summarize it?

I love the fact that they've shoved a completely unrelated auto-playing video about a "solar car" into the middle of the article. Do these people even visit their own sites?

I'd expect track gauges might be something VHNers could disagree over.

This was a pretty weak article? All it basically says is that it can be done and adds some speculation that it might make things better. But not much testing have been carried out and the comparisons to existing code that have been made sho

Doesn't Ladybird let you work on LibWeb and LibJS from a Linux angle though?

Another crucial point is that a fighter fielded today is expected to have feature parity with the previous one that was continuously upgraded for the past 30 years.

Plus I would assume that game devs of today would rather serve up their games for a few bucks on Steam rather than for free through the web.

Some might find Zig to have better ergonomics and some work on systems where dynamic memory allocation and concurrency are inappropriate for safety reasons anyway.

Out of curiosity, what caused targeted threats to escalate over the last 48 hours? I'm not familiar with the site, but from what I understand they've been around for over a decade doing basically the same thing, so what caused thi

My beef is that there isn't much in terms of character development. The first episode was an atrocious formulaic mess that tried to stack as many memorable LotR style moments on top of each other as possible. So far they haven't t

From what I've understood once you go below a certain temperature you can no longer pump and start heating using electricity instead. Which gets expensive as fuck. I have several friends in this situation. Sounds like something you&#x2

Seems rather naive to assume that it for some reason would remain out of reach for a totalitarian state with a 1B+ population. And especially considering that there appear to be a few Chinese names on pretty much every major research paper

While I agree that they usually look pretty bad (and that the resolution is too low), some of them have been on par of what I've seen in video games. Stellaris in particular comes to mind (my memory might not serve right, haven't

I find myself increasingly frustrated by the low resolution of the images coming out of these systems. It all feels like a huge tease, blocking my brain from deciding whether I should be impressed or not. And at other times I find myself no

Perhaps you could narrow things down a bit by trying to figure out what key characteristics need to drive your design. I'm in aerospace. Some of the systems I stare at are designed pretty much exclusively based on safety considerations

Personally I've always preferred Takahata's work over Miyazaki's (whose output is still world class...). Only Yesterday is severely underrated in my opinion.

Yup. It's kind of incredible how these platforms are fucking up their services. Like, all they had to do was to provide the content in a way more convenient than pirating, but they've managed to go down a path where the experience
