Yeah generating a steam key to sell yourself isn’t free but last time I made some it was less than a buck. I’m going on an old memory but I think it was $0.17 each.

Bankrupt and the founder and ceo is the new owner after buying it in the bankruptcy auction.

You don’t want to bang on an empty stomach.

It’s also the speed of news now. When you had a edition a day in print there was time to do research.

Now with instant publishing on the web it’s more important to get the basic story out fast. With the hope it’s the one that sites like reddit pickup.

You look great.

It’s got some clunky gameplay but I love the bad or bad choices presented. Three are also a bunch of nice clues. Like checking your amulet regulary can reveal storey stuff.

The true identity of the main villain is great if you figure it out.

But you can’t remove pocket from firefox just disable it. Given that it wa also a close source binary blob that made firefox not completely open source I’m glad it’s going.

Who could forget truly an inventionbefore it’s time.

Feet. I don’t think there is anything morally wrong with liking them. But for me they are a massive turnoff and that’s before they get sexualized.

It’s kind of the opposite of eclipse. People who use it like it and people who don’t have experience with it disparage it.

Yeah C# gets a bad rap. I spent a decade developing in C++, and Java before switching to C# because of program requirements. Now I never want to go back.

Probably their in house sysadmin drew it.

Great expression.

I’m going to agree with a lot of the other posters and say QT with QT creator. It’s a tested and well though out implementation. It’s signals and slots event system is straight forward and easy to learn.

Whatever route you take learn Model View Controller (MVC). It gets in the mindset of keeping your data model seprate from things that use the data and things that change the data.

To be fair a lot of human translators don’t bother to be accurate or capture wordplay. Some of the translations for netflix are so bad.

Agreed. I wasn’t trying to say they are always better just explain the difference.

I almost exclusivity use Linux and it handles this great. .so libraries are stored with a version number and a link to the latest. So math3.so and math4.so with math.so being a link to math4.so. that way if needed I can set a program to use math3.so and keep everything else on the latest version.

So the basic purpose of a library is to allow code that does some useful thing to be easily used in multiple programs. Like say math functions beyond what is in the language it self or creating network connections.

When you build a program with multiple source files there are many steps. First each file compiled into an object file. This is machine code but wherever you have calls into other files it just inserted a note that basicly says connect this call to this part of another file. So for example connect this call to SquareRoot function in Math library.

After that has been done to every file needed then the linker steps in. It grabs all the object files combines them into one big file and then looks for all the notes that say connect this call to that function and replaces them with actual calls to the address where it put that function.

That is static linking. All the code ends up in a big executable. Simple but it has two big problems. The first is size. Doing it this way means every program that takes the squareroot of something has a copy of the entire math library. This adds up. Second is if there is an error in the math library every program needs to be rebuilt for the fix to apply.

Enter dynamic linking. With that the linker replaces the note to connect to the SquareRoot function in math library with code that requests the connection be made by the operating system.

Then when the program is run the OS gets a list of the libraries needed by the program, finds them, copies them into the memory reserved for that program, and connects them. These are .so files on Linux and .dll on Windows.

Now the os only needs one copy of math.so and if there is a error in the library a update of math.so can fix all the programs that use it.

For GPL vs LGPL this is an important distinction. The main difference between them is how they treat libraries. (There are other differences and this is not legal advice)

So if math.so is GPL and your code uses it as a static link or a dynamic link you have to providd a copy of the source code for your entire program with any executable and licence it to them under the GPL.

With LGPL it’s different. If math.so is staticly linked it acts similar to the GPL. If it’s dynamicly linked you only have to provide the source to build math.so and licences it under LGPL. So you don’t have to give away all your source code but you do have to provide any changes to the math library you made. So if you added a cubeRoot function to the math library you would need to provide that.

If you don’t code with undefined behavior compiler updates can apply to legacy code. I’ve been through enough compiler upgrades with microcontrollers that it’s old hat.

The nice thing is if a much better solution exists then a rust compiler that uses it can be implemented using it. Then you don’t have to rewrite all the rust code.

Cutting 250 jobs while raising executive pay 400%.

In 2021 the CEO made 5.5 million. They got about 7 million in donations that year.

80% of their revenue is from google. But google encourages them to waste the money on stuff not related to the browser because it’s competition to chrome. Their job us to look like a viable competitor but not be good one.

The browser is constantly getting worse on performance, user experience, and customizability.

They have gone from 34% user share to 2.2%. So clearly I’m not alone in my opinion of the current state of the browser.
