Because that would require consumers to have a Javascript interpreter to use it.

This looks great. I hope it'll get a Switch port.

It might be more useful to talk to the people behind the tooling that is used during concerts. For instance, Notch grew out of the demo scene and could be interesting maybe? See https://www.notch.one/

I only recently discovered Densha De GO! and apparently the most recent game in the series is based around this very line. Very interesting to see these photos, I love the vibe, and it makes me appreciate all the detail that went into the g

That's a shame, but there's heavy competition from companies like PCBWay, I suppose. Incidentally, I read it the title like Shapeways provided some files to somehow 3d print bankruptcy. I'm not sure why.

It's great to see Java Web Start finally being used in anger 24 years after its initial release.

"Should all array types be Copy but not Claim? If not, where is the cutoff, and does it depend on the element type?" I think it was mentioned that something should be considered Claim'able if it can fit in a cache line. So I

I really like this proposal. It's fairly concrete, makes day-to-day coding much more ergonomic and, more importantly, doesn't introduce a great many esoteric concepts that are just going to clutter the language. I'm assuming

"Yes, it's more complicated than server development in that it is a real-time, multi-point input, multi-output (rendered elements on screen) environment with synchronisation and concurrency needs." I would argue that most bac

Are you implying that other new features are not useful? Could you elaborate, because I think a lot of the stuff being added (records, pattern matching) is super useful.

I'm wondering why the lifetimes as described in steps 2 and 3 need to be so explicit. Why shouldn't the borrow checker be able to infer them?

Where would it end, though? Should the developer also provide build instructions for Haiku and AmigaOS?

It's great that there's a free non-commercial option. I'm wondering if I can convert my existing CLion license to RustRover though, I only bought it for the Rust support.

It's probably good to know that the focus in the demoscene has shifted away from 64k more towards 4k/1k intros and 'regular' demos. The amount of work required to do a high quality 64k is so huge that, especially now tha

If the primary way the user is interacting with the package manager in this user-friendly distro is via the GUI then of course I mean the GUI when talking about the package manager.

As skyyler pointed out, my gripe is not with pacman but the fact that the author of TFA asserts that an OS is user-friendly even though it ships with a broken package management GUI out of the box. I don't have a horse in the pacman&#x

It's user-friendly if you think having a package manager that's broken out of the box is user-friendly. I get that Linux is about choice, but if you're trying to make something that's user-friendly maybe also don't

I worked with ARRI for a few years when they were working on the predecessor to the ARRI Alexa, called the D-20. That was already an awesome camera but they didn't really take it into production because they wanted to make it simpler,

I believe so. Although RED was always being super mysterious and hype-y about it their RedCODE codec is ultimately just JPEG2000 so hopefully Nikon can relax this situation somewhat, which would be a benefit to all manufacturers.
