News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

We just have automatic tests that use the thing in every possible way. We have them because that's how we've developed and debugged the function. Best documentation ever.
History subject is actually making proper sense now. At school it was kinda tedious in some parts. (never had anything against biology, it's all technical stuff that we here like)

Yea, "looking into how guns work" isn't weird. It's just addictive: relative to other problems they're simple and physically intuitive, so for every new mechanism you get a kick from learning another easy thing you didn't need to know.

CMake and qmake is not enough. Adding Ninja...
Motorcyclists are mostly jerks too because of the noise they make tho.
We can say that it's generated from the "hardware schematics". AMD hardware isn't an opensource hardware.
Are there still workarounds for specific games/programs inside the driver?

Point 3 is also relevant to opensource/FOSS.

But then you get electric shocks to the tongue...
A phone with a wide screen is hard to hold. I'll begin having issue with thickness only if it starts cutting fingers.
Not counting turbopumps for chemical engines there is also an electric propulsion when in space.
The reddit RemindMe! bot.

Just like the ancient Greece sculptures. They are in colour.

Let every app haul its own libraries. Be surprised that they aren't patched and contain vulnerabilities.

AFAIK there are already laws about reverse-engineering for compatibility. May extend that and add something like the right to repair, so the ones who sell software or software services also have to provide documentation and more access to the actual features.
Screw that. Fossil-fuel infrastructure is smelly and noisy. That's my first concern, I don't even need to "care about the planet" to hate fossil fuel.
Assuming that you use it like before. But if you have a lot of power in one place you may think about using it for something like an orbital launch system.
Blocked by the slowness of the space industry.
Shoved the critical electrical stuff below the sea level... It's not like the reactors have fallen into a sudden volcano.
Another chilling moment when I realise that I'm way too old and can perceive slow changes of things (like the meanings of words). Please don't do that.

That's so sad that we have to waste time implementing bug-compatibility with the proprietary software.

There should be some law about interoperability.

Philosophers often miss that one.
That's just a red flag.
Re:From QMake to CMake: A story on why CMake is pretty nice in 2020 on Wednesday September 23, 2020 @08:16AM (#24566073)
I've got a CMake project that builds multiple libraries that depend on different libraries.

Oh, remember the "great opportunities in Siberia"?
They've managed to make a Dota 2 tutorial that's worse than the 2014 one. And matchmaking for the new players is just brutal, there is no retention.
Yes, in some places they've switched to the model where the focus is on the people who really need to fly.

I prefer insanity as an answer.
