> These are the factors I would like to know more about for the Brazil and China flooding... Is it just bad governmental town planning? The systems Porto Alegre and Canoas had in p…

You're confusing things a bit here, Boom is already an enhanced port and it got the kind of line-to-line teleport that allows you to do this. Crispy and Chocolate Doom are what the…

> There's plenty wrong with the literal concentration camp they set up in Brasília too. People imprisoned without any charges. Only recently did they vote to turn some of them into…

> The stroke of a pen makes police do whatever they want so yeah. You mean like when an order telling the police to remove people camped in front of military bases asking for a cou…

Taken case by case, no. The absolute majority of those cases are used to get ISPs to block pirate streaming sites, or sites selling personal data. However, once every few years, a …

Older versions might be difficult to get in the future, difficulty reproducing results due to that, yadda yadda. It works for most cases, but I can see why changing every year migh…

I once did some low-level GPU programming on a project aimed for the Samsung Galaxy S8. It was a case with extra features like an iris and fingerprint scanner, connected via the US…

There's a very simple way around this. Grab any encoding that uses a dictionary, like, I think zip does. Sent tiny zip files with an excerpt of a .wav file or something that needs …

> Yes, this is performant enough for games. Yes, it's being done in AAA games. Every time someone says something mildly controversial about weird technology being used for UI in ga…

It really isn't that hard once you have to do it, as long as you have the time to get a test / feedback loop with the client going. They probably had a dozen test versions of the F…

Reminds me of what we dubbed "the cosmic ray incident." During college, we were arranged in groups of 2 or 3 to do some pair programming for the more complicated exercises. I had a…

This sort of Java is almost all about boilerplate and patterns. Two or three decent engineers taking a few days to plan for the rest of the project can write 90% of the huge amount…

How would it know if you haven't changed your RAM? Consider that using the same settings with different parts might lead to subtle instability, not a full on-boot crash.

I'm curious, how would you handle collaborative editing in nano? All the others seem doable if a bit hacky, but that one confused me.

A bit hard to get things to work. In case anyone else is trying, I got it to compile with go 1.19, and you also need a Street Fighter 2 rom. The roms folder needs both an original …

It's a very local thing in the sense that outside Brazil it isn't well known. But nearly everyone in the country will have eaten one, it's quite popular. Hell, I like them so much,…

The original Doom engine does not have it, but a very popular port called Boom added many new things and one of them was a silent teleporter, as in, walk over a line and get telepo…

Came here to say this, yeah. UDB supports a lot of the fancy new features from ports, like the Eternity Engine portals, or the 3d floors GZDoom gives you. Even if someone wanted to…

From my experience a boss battle or a dungeon run in Valheim takes all afternoon, and that's if you have a group supporting each other to make things quicker.

I guess he just really likes SQL. Can't blame him.

I mean, Newton and Leibniz figured out calculus at the same time in slightly different ways. It is common enough, but still a nice coincidence when it happens.

Don't forget scaring away most of her leftist supporters by getting too cozy with megachurches; At least it sounds like you're talking about Marina Silva lol

Not gonna lie, the last example made me happy, but my practical side was screaming "just use flexbox, jeez"

Oh, I think you misunderstood me. Sorry. I meant like, how can you be sure a compiler would interpret them correctly and give you the exact binary value you wanted. And by differen…

Genuine question, can you be sure the conversion wouldn't introduce a wrong bit here or there? Maybe in a different architecture or something? I'm not that good with CPUs past 16 b…
