Well, not having them designed for easier repair is objectively economically harmful. So it's an example of market failure. And forget about "looking good". It's all bogus, there's no contradiction between ergonomics and repairability. They're just making up excuses but real motives are "strategic", that is getting rid of competitors and making entry into market harder.
I'm not yet familiar with gnome's implementation, but wouldn't you still see scrollbar along with progress indication if you mouse over scrollable area?
I don't even remember when I directly interacted with a scrollbar last time. Only when interacting with crappy custom GUIs that don't support mouse scrollwheel maybe.
I definitely disagree here. All features of C++ have their uses and it's possible and necessary to master them all. This language is focused on getting the job done. Thus some of its design decisions don't look very nice. But it's the most usable language in its niche.
If they're funded only by donations(with unrestricted "freeware" distribution) they don't have sales in strict sense. So I really want to know would donations be considered sales?
It would be fine if they served merely as registrars allowing any developer to have a site in.dev. But having it as google only is ridiculous, I agree.
There's an easier way, just download iso from tpb or something like that. Their modified isos have menus that allow you to choose variant you want to install(home premium etc) and doesn't even ask any serials. Installed os gets updates and works as it should. I think microsoft just needs to reuse their solution:P
Every person has some data that should be secret, like credit card details. If your devices have a backdoor for government then criminals can use it too. Just matter of time before the way to use it leaks into criminal underground. Requiring mandatory backdoors for storage is as absurd as requiring a single mandatory government usable master key for all locks. You may be 100% sure that actual use it to catch criminals will be dwarfed by abuse by government officials for their own petty ends.
Actually you could split off each resource acquisition into separate function that does acquire -> check -> cleanup cycle for one resource and calls next function in chain. Not shorter than goto way but you're less likely to shoot yourself in the foot by messing up order of cleanups or something.
This review score inflation is mere consequence of inherent subjectivity of it. Each person maybe can establish some sort of consistent scoring methodology but it will be of little use for other people. If you try to be objective and neutral you pretty much always find a way to boost score because each poorly executed aspect of the game in question is pretty much guaranteed to be unimportant for someone and thus not warranting a downscore..
From what I can tell main attack weapon on sea is right now the cruise missile. Extremely long range and ability to correct targeting errors in flight. There's no way railguns or lasers can compete with that. There could be other niche for them though. Like point defense.
Too much effort to cover an attack vector that is rarely used in practice. Even if you consider it a move against modders/free platforms it's still a geeky waste of time to stop something that is a niche activity and matters little for anyone's bottom line.
My understanding is that move away from Presto and to webkit/blink was used as excuse for changing the overall Opera vision, either that or new Opera devs are too incompetent to properly re-implement the vision. Either way, Opera founder just returns to reassert his vision.
Of course they are, but they aren't reference compilers.
At some point having d overlay led to getting warnings during portage sync and what-not, so I removed it.
All in all I just didn't consider it interesting enough to study even. I'm more interested in a true paradigm shift rather than another iteration of C++ which already is good enough for my taste. So I still have haskell overlay and actually do learn haskell:P
The real reason that it's not in portage, and I had problems using ebuilds from overlay. Problems that happen only with closed source stuff. If it was open then Gentoo would be performing full 3 stage bootstrap of it in ebuild(assuming it's self hosting).
The closed source nature of dmd is the whole reason I didn't actually try to learn D. Either reference compiler is open-source and open for contributions or language has no future and no point in wasting time.
All people are different. The more you know individuals the more you understand that boy/girl divide is fake. There's only one human mind and it's gender neutral in principle. People tend to make stuff up, finding connections where they don't exist. Thinking that having a high testosterone level would magically lead you to play with trucks is pure superstition. There may be other effects of testosterone but if you provide such silly examples then it kinda undermines the point to me.
Toy example is especially ridiculous since there's no way a kid would know their significance unless adults tell them what those toys are images of, attaching their own gender identity in process too, perhaps subconsciously. Without adult indoctrination a kid wouldn't know a difference between a cube, toy care or cutlery shaped toys.

I bet he did it for schadenfreude..
Actually, his language skill is in line with USA's average language skill..
With dwarf fortress it'll be a lot more than 10mins, unless you embark on a glacier or something :P

Will they want a cut if the engine is used by an opensource project managed by a nonprofit/not-for-profit foundation?

Because cleanup code is near acquisition code it's easier to understand than goto.
Actually you could split off each resource acquisition into separate function that does acquire -> check -> cleanup cycle for one resource and calls next function in chain. Not shorter than goto way but you're less likely to shoot yourself in the foot by messing up order of cleanups or something.

Why are you using this obsolete unit of measurement, calorie? What next, you're going to explain food consumption in terms of phlogiston theory? :P

Oh wait. It seems Gentoo has ebuild in portage for it now. But still binary only for some reason.
