If only someone could back-port Quick Look into Panther! I didn't realize how much I use that feature as I spammed the spacebar in these emulators.

Damn, I was hoping this bridge would stay in its current limbo state where it's open to pedestrians and bikes but closed to vehicles. It's so much nicer not having a five lane stro…

Maybe there were thinking about it in terms of disinhibition? A --| B --| C Where `A` inhibits `B` which inhibits `C`. So, while the repressor `A` is present, `C` will be transcrib…

haha yes the discourse level thread is like perfect for all us "we've read the Book" people to comment on.

you can do it that way if you wanted to let mut i = 0; for item in items { item.method(i); i += 1; } I don't know why you'd it that way, but Rust definitely isn't stopping you from…

It looks like there was a control group: > However, an additional control was undertaken where colour contrast thresholds were measured in the morning and then re-measured 3 h late…

As another not-physicist who is interested in physics, I've found the articles/explainers at Of Particular Significance very helpful. There are a few on particle decay, and I think…

Have you read (or "read"; I don't want to be responsible for your death lol) the Texas GOP platform[1] for this year? The first sentence in the "Homosexuality and Gender Issues" se…

PD will definitely be the next game to be fully (or near enough) decompiled. The dev behind that one is great. If you're bored, his write up on the "Challenge 7 Bug" is great read:…

"Pumping" in this context is a very thinly veiled pejorative. The original question is using it in the sense of a "pump and dump" [1]. They're implying that the amount of Rust cont…

No, "they" didn't. An iPhone 13 mini was rumored ten days before the iPhone 12 was revealed [1] (see also in that same rumor the 2022 SE 3 launch). There were rumors through out fo…

There are teams working on both the OoT decomp and a MM decomp, so I think that combining both of those under the Zelda64 heading is neat--especially with the callback to the pre-r…

Yeah, some of the configs are already estimating December ship dates, and that's like 20 minutes after the store opened. They are not going to be able make enough Pro chips
