I have no personal experience with Wasmer or the people behind it. But with the things I read about them (e. g. https://mnt.io/2021/10/04/i-leave-wasmer/ crossed my path again a few days ago) would make

I remember having those concerns. And Steam performance did take a few months to solidify if I remember correctly, so not everything was unfounded. Before it, only MMOs had login screens separating gamers from gaming ;-) Nowadays, the only

You are right, Valve being private removes a lot of the incentives to mess with Steam in ways I would consider negative.

I think it's pretty amazing that Valve managed to create something of this type (a store/launcher/software platform), targeted at an easily annoyed[citation needed] group of people (gamers), running for this long, that is mos

Also, I can't find any mention of the French having problems cooling down their reactors last year due to drying out rivers. Nuclear might have been an option fifty years ago, but now it's too late to start, and we should focus on

I think you are off by at least a decade, MacOS X licenses cost low triple digits (cheaper if upgrading) well into the oughts.

The style, and especially the splotchy background coloring, made Paper[1] (By WeTransfer it seems? When it was released they were called fiftythree.) my first guess. [1]: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/paper-by-wetr

I've repeatedly heard the sentiment from interviewers that it's not worth the time asking questions you know you won't get an answer to. As a sibling noted, both of your questions can reasonably fall into that category. Not d

This seems to be a weird micro-optimisation. While I agree with some of the goals (classless files, parameterless main exist in Kotlin and are nice to have), they should, in my opinion, not be implemented for the sole purpose of making `mai

While I personally am mostly happy with using Exchange via IMAP (through Postbox), and therefore cannot speak to or against it, there is Owl[1]. Have you ever tried that, and if so, what's your experience been like? [1]: https:/&

Not sure if I understand correctly, but wouldn't one of the two "operands" need to be a file in any case (the linked tools would require you to paste two times as well)? In that case, assuming that one file is OK and only the

Also, the latest version (>= 2.3.0, released June '19) has a new flag specific to managing dotfiles. When passing `--dotfiles`, stow replaces `dot-` at the beginning of filenames with `.` in the symlinks. The online help does not me

I'm sure that Docusaurus can do a lot, and more in the future. I think the resulting pages feel a little heavy to use (how they load and react in a browser), but that's just my personal opinion. I had tried to find a tool that wou

No idea, actually (not a Rust developer myself). What I have noticed is that Rust seems to provide good tooling for building monolithic executables that contain a complete application, including assets. That's quite nice for trying stu

I thought so, too. I've switched to mdbook[1], which is more lightweight, and (at least at the time) was one of the few solutions that compiled down to a directory that can be used without limitations while offline. [1]: https:/&

There is no blaming in GP's post. Just the notion that Germans themselves, of their own volition, are striving to not let history repeat itself.

Not everything that would be a net benefit to society has enough people interested in it that they can control markets through their wallets.

It's not just you. And I know of at least a couple of people that think the same way...[1] [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5sQqzLGOnA

Not only not any more, Zig has never been closed source.

OK, I misspoke. I heard the sentiment from the Apple-focused voices in my information bubble, doesn't mean that nobody else said it. It's just that "nobody believed those Geekbench benchmarks" is not completely true.

I think Zig's error handling is even better: https://ziglang.org/#toc-A-fresh-take-on-error-handling Return values are a pair of an error value (internally basically an enum) and a result value. Error handling is manda
