It means that Stroll came much closer to matching the performance of Vettel than his detractors would like to admit, and Alonso has more talent than the entire field right now excepting possibly Verstappen,
They don't have a lot of locations yet, but by sheer good luck they do have one near me. Looks like an excellent way to get rid of some books when I some day get around to clearing out some space on a shelf.
I'm sure there's probably more than one and I don't even remember which it was that I saw, but a quick search turns up GNO which is said to be privacy-focused although it isn't immediately clear how exactly it works.
Personally I'm rooting for something non-blockchain for the electronic payments system of the near-ish future: GNU Taler. It solves enough privacy problems to be useful, making it much better than what most of the world uses now, without immediately becoming the basis for a pyramid scheme, an instrument for pump-and-dump scams, a means of receiving big ransom payments, or a big flashing target for banking regulators.
Monero is better than most in some ways, but it's proof-of-work so not really any better in that way. Ether is the one that doesn't waste energy, Monero is the one that offers privacy. There's at least one that tries to do both but even fewer people have heard of it.
Forget split-screen, a lot of people have two monitors these days. Steam hardware survey has "Multi-Monitor Desktop Resolution" as "other" for 50% of their users, which I'm guessing means about 50% of people have multiple screens. Think about it, game devs.
There isn't one simple reason for it. There's a fairly large set of complicated interrelated reasons some of which require going back over 40 years of history to explain. If things had gone differently we'd have had a different result. For instance, just off the top of my head here, if free software had arrived earlier the network effect where everyone wanted one particular operating system because it's what everyone else was using and therefore all the software was written for it might not have happened. People would've been free to build and distribute things for whichever OS they preferred. If Bill Gates hadn't been such a sharp business dealer, maybe his company wouldn't have amassed the vast wealth and influence required to dominate things so thoroughly back in the 1980s. If American antitrust law hadn't been defanged maybe it would've stopped him, because many of Microsoft's business practices that allowed them to get the monopoly we're still recovering from were quite despicable. If DRM (digital restrictions management) hadn't caused problems for Linux such as preventing it playing DVDs for the first few years they were popular, maybe it would've got further by now. If education systems around the world did a better job encouraging more people to be curious about how the things they rely on actually work, maybe the switch to free software would be going faster.
Anyway, it's one thing that is slowly going in the right direction for the most part.
If all you want in a programming language is that it not frequently be the target of mean-spirited critical reviews, I recommend Befunge. It's a bit old and I don't think anyone has updated it to be powerful enough for modern enterprise-level work, but there exists a non-zero chance that it might be suitable for one of your toy projects.
There's some good stuff in there and it's easy to cheer for some big new regulatory burdens being put on Google and Facebook, but it's slightly chilling to think what it'd be like if they eventually try to apply it to the fediverse. It sets up teams of what it calls "trusted flaggers" for example, whose job it will be to scour the net for anything they believe to be "illegal content" and order it removed. I imagine they'd start with places like c/piracy, but once such a vast apparatus for net censorship is set up who knows where else it might start looking. They'll use it to go after sellers of "counterfeit" goods as well. Imagine your instance admins being forced to go through some kind of appeals process to take down posts they don't like, but being required to instantly take down posts the government doesn't like.
I don't know, it's pretty complicated but there are some reasons to be slightly worried about it I guess.
I can't believe it! Jordan Peterson was right all along! He may have got some of the details wrong — it's conservatives in Saskatchewan, not Liberals in Ottawa — but they really are making rules about what pronouns people can use. Exactly what he tried to warn us about.
The one Ukrainian Linux user without an adblocker started visiting a website that still has a statcounter widget on it, but he got tired of it after a while and stopped?
I used to make a living hauling valuable stuff from the outer edge of low-sec in to Jita and such places. Sure it got to be pretty much routine after a while. Well, most of the time. But then it's always possible in that game to go off and do something else instead. The experience of exploring it all for the first time though, having not yet gathered the knowledge and resources to do it in anything like safety or comfort, was fantastic. If you could just teleport instantly from one place to anywhere without significant cost it wouldn't even be a game. I'm not saying that the mechanics of transportation should dominate every game like they do EVE, but having at least some of that sort of thing seems like a good idea in a game that's supposed to be about exploring a space of any kind. I disable fast travel in Skyrim too. It makes things too quick and convenient.
