This is a very welcome development. One of the reasons I still have a dual-boot setup with Windows is gaming. Many of the games I play with my friends have no Linux support. I could use WINE for most of them, as far as I know, but it's too much effort for me to maintain that, when I can just boot into Windows and have the native experience without additional bugs that the compatibility layer may introduce.

Being able to install it with one click in Steam is a game-changer, especially with all the additional work Valve is putting into that ecosystem. I can live with a few "emulation" bugs (I know, I know, WINE is not an emulator) if it means I never have to switch into another OS, when the setup is this simple.

One of the first supported games is "Doki Doki Literature Club" which I actually streamed from my Windows PC to my laptop (which is only running Solus Linux) when I finally wanted to play it a couple of months ago. Guess I should've waited a little longer.

Another use case I've just been made aware of is downloading the Morrowind game files for use with OpenMW[1], which has Linux support but needs the original game files to function. Until now I had to either do that in WINE or copy the files over from Windows.

Android 5.0.1, Brave browser. I tried disabling the tracking protection, but it still did nothing. Connectivity shouldn't be a problem, because I'm using my WiFi right now.

Edit: nevermind, it works now. Maybe I was too impatient before.

The demo doesn't work at all on my smartphone. I see the "solve recaptcha" button below the input field, but nothing happens when I press it.

I doubt that any "immortal jellyfish" has actually lived that long in the wild, even though they have the theoretical potential to do so.

Just fyi: the term you wanted to use was "verbatim", meaning "word for word"

There are always bigger fish to fry, unless you're currently frying the biggest fish. That doesn't mean that the other fish aren't worth frying. Not everyone can or even should work on the biggest issue available; and fixing lots of smaller problems can go a long way.

Thank you very much! The original list was almost unreadable on my smartphone.

You're welcome! I also hadn't thought much about this topic before, which is one of the reasons why I shared this video. I did hear about the Minecraft subtitle/closed caption initiative back when development of it was active, but sooner or later forgot about it again.

There is a link in the "Contribute" section.

The Nash equilibrium in this case being immediately taking the larger stash, instead of waiting (or even cooperating) with the other player for much higher payouts.

Yeah,the article is worded very poorly (misleadingly?). I just measured the distance between the location Thomas originally gave (Carn Menyn) and one of the two new locations (Craig Rhos-y-felin) and it's about 4.5 kilometers.

He wasn't off by 200 miles. That's just how far the source of the stones is away (both the location he gave and the new one). You should probably read the comment again.

Whoops, didn't see that one when I posted this, thanks for the link!

Kind of tangential to this, but I was really amazed at the accuracy of Google's search results when a few years back I tried to find the name of a song I'd heard at a nightclub in Hong Kong. Neither did I know the artist, nor really any part of the lyrics (because it had been very loud and crowded), so I was pleasantly suprised when Google Search took my query "guys in jean overalls singing too ra loo ra loo" and actually returned "Come on Eileen".

We used to turn them off as soon as we stopped using the internet (this was also before any of us had a smartphone). I think the ISP also cut the connection every 24 hours and changed the IP to prevent people from having a static IP "for free".

It really depends on the ISP. Back when we were still using A1 (what used to be the Austrian telecom basically), we would receive a new IP address every time we reconnected. Now after switching to Liwest (a very local provider, only serves this city and some small towns around it) our IP is for all intents and purposes static, even though it wasn't advertised as such.

Interesting concept, but it looks like it wobbles around quite a lot in "wheel-mode"; and this is at the very low speeds shown in the video. I think it's reasonable to assume that it would be almost uncontrollable at higher speeds (leading to damage to itself and other components over time). As others have already mentioned, maintenance would be much more complex too with so many moving parts, all of which could potentially be damaged; and it certainly would be more expensive than a simple wheel.

Ah, I see. I probably misinterpreted the intention behind that comment.

What does any of this have to do with forcing an oil vaporizer on everyone? Are you arguing that teachers need essential oils in the air to get through the day; or is this just about the fact, that parents always have different ideas? In that case you should still err on the side of not putting random substances in the air everyone at the school has to breathe.

I think we're getting a little sidetracked here. What the grandparent wanted to say was just that the corset of laws that binds a judge might not be as tight as you think; hence e.g. activist judges.

It feels more like snow, if I remember correctly, but it's been some time since I last had hair ice in my hands.

Why wouldn't or shouldn't they market it? Coca-Cola Germany improvised a new soft drink during the war and called it Fanta, and later it was adopted by the parent company. It's not like they helped build the gas chambers or anything.

But those things are "behavioral recipies that the SELF must enforce on his body". My body doesn't do breathing exercises on its own, and it wants to look at the phone screen before sleep. I have to consciously work against those tendencies. Same with eating. I'm certainly happier long-term if I don't just listen to my body and eat all the delicious things I see in my daily life.

Seems like this was changed in more recent revisions, according to another comment:

The main change between [P0907r0] and the subsequent revision is to maintain undefined behavior when signed integer overflow occurs, instead of defining wrapping behavior.

Unless the existing ones would require radical changes to realize your vision, which would be hard to do in a gradual manner and probably lead to more problems than just writing something from scratch.

Good point. I have to confess that I didn't think about that. Then again I know very little of how much air a silicon chip is exposed to from manufacturing to actual use in a working system.

The topic was replacing silicon. I'm sure there are niche applications for it, but having to seal everything helium-tight won't work for all use cases that are served by silicon chips.

Turns out that it's actually the same domain, and it also shows up in your list. I just didn't notice it (same as you, apparently ;) )

I'm pretty sure it was on the front page more often than that, probably as a link to another, secondary source. I've certainly seen it on the front page some time after 2010.

I've noticed they played Vivaldi at the office of the local government in Linz, Upper Austria outside of office hours. To be precise they only play "Spring" from the "Four Seasons". I actually find it quite pleasant when just walking by, but I guess the repetition alone can be an effective deterrent to loiterers.
