The GUI was said to, but the audio engine was C++.

Actually all dynamic array are.
Indeed. I was about to comment "no shit Sherlock".
As french citizen what I can say is: Parliamentary time wasted. During the initial work the deputees that have initiated the project could have figured out that the constitutional court would, in fine, block the text.
What you describe cant be the reason because then the "access denied" would happen whatever the browser used is.
Some streams of the EarthCam channel (Temple Bar, New Orlean, etc). A bit of Virtual Railroad fans too (Revelstoke, Flagstaff, etc). Truck driving lives (esp. because of engine sounds, good for concentration). During U.S winter storms some random storm-chasers lives.
Yes, every two days or so. An hygiene measure to prevent "history detection attacks".
The routine consists into deleting everywith but the passwords. Actually "chrome://settings/clearBrowserData" is even in my fav bar.

As described in the title. Do you have the same problem ? Using an user-agent-switcher, e.g faking Opera from Chromium, I get served the content normally, although I got eventually blocked later, suspected of being an IA.
I think Pentium will still be supported. i486 refers to very old 32 bits CPU (80486). The article is not clear but by default I tend to think that i586 and i686 will still be supported.
When a team is so much into its own littke bubble, it does not realize anymore the shit they are doing

This work on system of weight:
> For each option and criterion, you assign a rating (0–10). Each criterion has an importance weight (1–5 stars). Decidit multiplies rating × weight and sums the values – the option with the highest score wins.
Is this really made for people who lack self-discipline or maybe just a website made for a portfolio ?
So eventually that would be used to poison communications, just in case of Iranian would use that old channel, which then would also mean that it's been cracked a while ago.
That's absurd but I like this kind of little stories.
Also the C API is a bit the poor child. Plenty of useful options (or even opt passes !) are not available.
If only that was only about emitting byte code in a file then calling the linker... you also have the problem of debug information, optimizers passes, the amount of tests required to prove the output byte code is valid, etc.
Another one bites the dust
The bigest anoyance nowadays (in the EU at least) is rather the cookie policy agreement. "View the list of our 258 partners", etc.
How this was discovered is incredible. An amator satelite was lauched. operators collected data. At some point they had the idea to plot them. That gave a big stain in the south atlantic.

Not into ZIG but for some reasons I monitor new issues that pop in the bug tracker of "new" / "raisins" languages. ZIG has clearly reached the next level, let's say if you compare the issues two years ago (lot of comptime/type system things) VS now.
I've wrote a lot of `xor al,al` in my youth.

I cannot reply on the blog but to answer the author about other languages, here is the D version, using a single template:
auto ref T max(T)(auto ref T u, auto ref T v) => u > v ? u : v;
void main()
{
int a = 1;
int b = 0;
int x;
static assert(__traits(compiles, &max(a,b) == &a),
"should have selected the lvalue version");
static assert(__traits(compiles, x = max(1,0)),
"should have selected the rvalue version");
static assert(__traits(compiles, x = max(a,0)),
"should have selected the rvalue version");
static assert(__traits(compiles, x = max(1,0)),
"should have selected the rvalue version");
}
