Requires MacOS 15 or later, so it won't run on my machine. Does it really require MacOS 15, or have you just joined Apple in destroying the planet with relentless unnecessary upgrades and ignorantly set your requirements in XCode?

Well, just use your USB spectrometer, of course. ...you do have a USB spectrometer, don't you? I have mine in my bedside drawer. I use it almost as often as my multimeter.

Not really from scratch if it uses the SDL2 library. I'd try it if I had the first clue how to resolve this dependency without obtaining a university degree in the subject. Or if the README gave the slightest hint about how to proceed.

Can it do anything useful? From the prompts it looks like a learning exercise only that can generate nonsense for toddlers. I get that it is a learning exercise, but I find learning exercises to be a complete waste of time if the end point

Or, and follow me for a minute here, what if everything people tell each other without supporting evidence is just nonsense, particularly when it is self-aggrandizing and intended to control others by emotional manipulation? What, and I&#x2

It won't run on a MacBook Air M1 running Sonoma. Only Tahoe. Come along with me! We'll destroy the planet so fast that we'll all be cinders before you know it. All we have to do is gobble the marketing speak so fast and make

How unfortunate that the first line of that article contains a racial slur. Does the race of the pickpocket make any difference? You may not realize that the Romani were victimized by the NAZIs or that they have been vilified because their

Because big-budget films and TV are increasingly fascist. They focus on the nuclear family as being qualitatively and quantitatively more important than anything else. Within that context, the plot inevitably seeks to establish the absolute

We got an entire article without a single video or photo of the "drones"? Great journalism there, Cowboy State Daily. The core problem here is that too many Americans believe that their imaginary sky friend is going to take them t

Not only the title, but the entire article, and every reference that pops up in a search, fails to explain the initialism "CTF". This is pure gatekeeping by immature little boys in a treehouse labelled "NGA". If we had a

The problem with the Karen Wetterhahn story is that we have no evidence to back up the exposure. Sure, months after the alleged event we have high mercury levels. But we only have Karen's recollection of a single tiny exposure through

I thought, "That sounds like an interesting book." And then I read the precis on Wikipedia. Humans. Everything has to be a fucking competition. Turned me right off reading it. This is one of the (many) things I hate about humans.

To all the parents defending this: you are responsible for your children and what they do. Passing laws that affect all of us because you are too lazy and ineffectual to raise your children properly is unacceptable.

You can make your communication more professional by spelling out initialisms the first time you use them and then following them with the initialism in brackets. Like this: garbage collector (GC). After that, you may use the initialism fre
