This is interesting to me, as someone moving from a company that uses C++ to one that uses Rust. It feels like the whole culture of the former company is built similarly - no guardrails, no required testing, or code…
The slim PS5 uses USB-C on both ends.
I'm stunned so many people here can remember details as fine as the colour grading of a film. I couldn't remember specifics like that from 6 months ago, let alone 30 years ago when I was a child and wouldn't have had…
But humans can do things Turing machines cannot. Such as eating a sandwich.
Norway recently(ish) privatised its trains too.
The UK cannot just "be Singapore". What happened in Singapore was a specific, unrepeatable combination of its geography, the needs of the region, the size of the country, and the culture. To maintain its wealth today,…
Around 15 years ago, as a semi-joke, my Mother bought a wireless doorbell and put the speaker in my brother's room to announce dinner was ready. It turned out to be quite handy actually. I think Alexa is a bit overkill…
> never about Scots, either Scots _are_ Brits.
Also seen on Booking.com.
So our team switched to vcpkg recently and, while it has improved certain parts of our dependency process, it has also made other parts more complex. Notably when something suddenly goes wrong it is far more complex to…
Thankfully it is so easy to quickly import libraries into C++...
The things the above poster suggested are largely man-made, artificially complex things seemingly designed to trap people. Things like paying taxes and handling healthcare are pretty much automatic in most European…
I found it very freeing when I moved country to leave almost everything behind. It really helps put into perspective what is valuable and what you know you would miss, and to reduce dependence and attachment on…

> If the poem was written with full self-consciousness of word choice, then the meaning really is lost by “updating” it, and where the poetry is best written, the meaning will be most lost. Tolkien essentially said this…
You don't need a co-processor for that. Final Fantasies IV-VI all used the 3D mode 7 effect for the overworld, making the effect more exaggerated when the player enters an airship. It's fairly trivial and inexpensive to…
I think a lot of people are stuck with C++ due to the fact that there are a lot of legacy C++ codebases (many decades old), moreso than legacy Python or Javascript codebases. Rust does a ton of things better than C++ as…

Funny you should mention, I just needed to clean my keyboard yesterday and I was looking for a way to disable my keyboard without turning off my PC. Thanks for your app!
The idea that Russia or China would magically become democratic utopias without violent social upheaval is extraordinarily naive. In addition to the US just deciding to "solve seemingly intractable social problems, like…
This was written at a time when the borders were closed to most of the outside world, so perhaps that is why.

Also - should the thing we optimise for in a language be how easy it is to learn? You learn a language in a small fraction of the duration you will actually use it for.
Can you give some examples? "Easy" and "hard" are subjective.
