I dabbled in F# which is quite good but I think the future belongs to mainstream languages adopting functional features.

The backlash against this is so strong that I can see Nvidia canning this version.

I use the Back to Basic videos from CPP con. You can find playlists of these https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NReDubvNjRg&list=PLHTh1Inhhw...

Those are from 2023 but they have others if you search on their youtube page

The Cherno has a intro to cpp series as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18c3MTX0PK0&list=PLlrATfBNZ9...

I feel that this article just reinforces my view that the original article was correct.

Its used to indicate that someone of importance to the community has died.

Verbosity doesn't equate to correctness.

But it is not really blocked in Australia though it is only geo blocked. People using VPNs can still see it in Australia.

I would probably do it via raycasting. You don't need to calculate all of the information sent just one ray per entity (ship, missile). project those rays through the battlefield and see if they collide at the correct time.

It is appears to be pulling random text segments from the page because I got text that included Steam Communities censorship. The text appears exactly the same as on the page so it is not autosummarised.

Happened in Australia as well. Makes me wonder just how widespread it was.

"hey go book me a place for drinks tonight in Peckham, it needs to have food and not be insanely busy"

The information needed to answer this request often just doesn't exist on the web. Often the true answer is obscured by lies. Personal agents don't have the ability to perform due diligence in a web of lies.

Those exploits require a client to connect to a hacked server, but Apex Legends has dedicated servers. You can't just randomly hack a client on the network. So it is not likely an RCE unless EA themselves got hacked.

"After the launch of the first C&C Remastered Collection,"

I read that to mean that the C&C Remastered Collection is of the first games (C&C 1 and Red Alert 1) not that it is the first Remastered Collection (Remastered Collection 1).

Unfortunately this is just a rumour.

I would have thought that the actual simplest math problem was to prove that 1+1=2 not the collatz conjecture.

If you simplify things enough, then those things will tend to look similar.

Dune Part 2 is an excellent adaption but all adaptions of Dune are ultimatley inferior to the books. I was actually disappointed when I was watching it but I could see how it was trying to tell the story. The story is just way too complex and has too many things going on to adapt to movies or tv.

"While 80s and 90s computer game journalism can be criticized for this and that shortcoming, at least it led the way and broke new ground. Some of it was even great. In terms of form, content and integrity, 80s and 90s computer game journalism is head-and-shoulders above the gibberish that is all-too-common in the 2020s."

I read a lot of game reviews from the 80s and 90s and most of it is not very good. Writers were not given enough time or space to do a proper job. I think the author of this piece is letting nostalgia override rationality here. They do make a good point about rubbish being more visible today. However this can often be mitigated by good curation by the user. Curation you had to apply in the past but just in different ways

They use datasets like common crawl.

megaparsec is a fork of parsec a parsing library for Haskell. Not Megaparsec (MPC) which is a measurment of distance for astronomy.

I remember older Microsoft documentation being just like that.

I think there is a disconnect between what Gen AI can do for businesses and what businesses think Gen AI can do for them.

I don't really consider the lack of usage of a microprocessor to discredit a machine from being a microcomputer. To me the definition is more about the size of the system and the way it is used. The real issue to me is the integration of the system into a larger machine. A microcomputer is standalone but this Arma computer is not.

The celestial data processor they made a prototype of would fit my definition of a microcomputer.

Just don't overclock your equipment.

Noel's Retro lab has a video about a Spanish FM-7 https://youtu.be/4LTMYocpE9M

Why were these satellites only just launched now? Why not just deploy after construction?

No haven't encountered any bugs or lock ups at all.

I played this on an ICL minicomputer system in the late 80s. I also remember there being Hamurabi and a horse racing game. I think the programs where written in BASIC.

What about Excel? It has natural language driven data analysis.

It is a real academic discipline. Something taught under business management.
