This has to be bait.

I miss when this style of website was more popular for software projects. There are plenty of projects with modern websites that still manage to do it well, but there's just something about the instant familiarity that comes with that type of layout.

I installed Fedora on a system for the first time a few weeks ago and had a generally positive impression of the installer, but I think it was still unable to detect the existing OS on the drive. It was fine because I was wiping it anyway, but I definitely got the impression that it's mainly designed for more simple use cases.

macOS 10.14 has been EOL for more than 2 years now and basically every Mac released since 2012 is compatible with 10.15. Valve also didn't actively flip a switch and disable functionality; they're just no longer providing updates. I don't think Valve shoulders any blame in this specific case - it's unreasonable to expect any company to indefinitely support platforms that are effectively obsolete.

Was that the infamous Toy Story 2 incident?

Sorry, I phrased my comment poorly. What I meant was that the article doesn't describe what specifically led to those charges, apart from a racist group chat of some kind.

Idc, just please don't call me a coder, it makes me sound like I'm a script kiddy.

Had this exact thought as well. The article is so vague that it doesn't actually describe what they seem to be getting charged with, so unless the DA is completely overstepping bounds (possible but unlikely) there has to be more to it.

Ugh, not this again. I'm very adamantly against piracy and I've personally dumped every one of my Switch ROMs from games I physically own, but these kinds of stunts make me want to pirate Nintendo games purely out of spite. Hopefully this gets thrown out or otherwise resolved quickly. The issue of clean room emulators has been tested before and found to be fair use and to my knowledge there's no legal precedent for Nintendo's claims.

The trouble is that "2 AM" now means radically different things depending on where in the world you are, and you lose any ability to be able to intuitively reason about the time in other parts of the world from you.

So You Want To Abolish Time Zones

In a nutshell:

Before abolishing time zones:

I want to call my Uncle Steve in Melbourne. What time is it there?

Google tells me it is currently 4:25am there.

It's probably best not to call right now.

After abolishing time zones:

I want to call my Uncle Steve in Melbourne. What time is it there?

It is 04:25 ("four twenty-five") there, same as it is here.

Does that mean I can call him?

I don't know.

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

Yeow

My uncle-in-law is convinced that the CCP is sending spies and sleeper agents in droves across the border. There's just no way to reason with this level of delusion.

Fyi PolyMC underwent a hostile takeover of sorts last year; I believe most of the former dev team now works on its fork Prism Launcher.

I don't know about you, but my work laptop is most definitely not participating in the Steam hardware survey and I'd probably be in trouble if it did.

KISS, my guy.

I think you've got it backwards. I learned to read pointer decls from right-to-left, so const int * is a (mutable) pointer to an int which is const while int *const is a const pointer to a (mutable) int.

Lossy sort
