> If only because this would open up people born here to having their citizenship retroactively revoked.

No, that's not how laws work

Applying laws retroactively is much less common than a "simple" rule change

Look into the mechanisms being worked on to create competition in rail operators (which has been opening the markets to competitor rail operators)

Yeah

I'm not sure what can help in this case, if it's the tar composition or whatever, but it does look bad

Some people are more accustomed with composing letters + accents instead of using key combinations with AltGr

Coming from Windows this is very common

Yes, sure, good managers will want to know (some of that)

But that want is limited (needs to be), and also it depends on the IC to explain things

There's a way. But if your professor is confident AI won't help you too much then it's a very hard test

That sounds obvious, but here's the thing: that's what a tautologically good manager does.

They delegate and hire subordinates to do a job. It is by design that the communication won't involve 100% of the work done

You hire people to do a job, not to be a remote controlled puppet

That's good, just grab one of those whenever your need to prove your age online /s

> Why would you even use US Intl keyboard

Because (for some reason) you don't have your "standard" keyboard - just the US ISO one

Some keyboards have an extra key (or maybe more than one) and hence can't be mapped fully with a US keyboard

Welcome to discussions on privacy on the internet :)

Lol

For a good while the default US Intl keyboard in some Linux versions would give a ć instead of a ç for the combination c + '

Makes sense right? Except that made a lot of people angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move

Because Brazilian users were expecting c + ' to become ç

(And they had to use Alt Gr + c instead)

This is the type of pointless complaint that really go nowhere

So is recognizing the fact that one of the most luddite countries in Europe who can't ask ChatGPT for directions is incapable of thinking forward with AI, is "fascism" now? Cool

Interesting country lobbying this. So this is either the OPEC effect or some active measures "another country" to sow division (because I don't think the Austrians were smart enough of think that for themselves)

I don't think it's fair to blame money in this case

Look at this fancy pants needing a transistor for that /s

(but yes I do miss those simpler days - but I guess the basics now is making an Arduino flash an LED)

Yeah this seems like a fundamentally anecdotal evidence, if bugs are splatting less on his car windshield

Sounds like the dual problem of "I want the thinnest" is the "I want the most powerful" on miniature equipment, and of course you run into an unbalanced situation

Honestly I don't see much of an use for 10Gbps in a notebook that can't be solved by a dongle when you actually need it

Note that depending on how you're using your VPN you need to explicitly set it for DNS queries to be made over the VPN

Thanks for proving current copyright law makes no sense

Here's a better idea, a fixed fee for any work. You can buy the license to read a book for $X (for whatever purpose) in RAND terms - of course publisher/material costs go on top, so if you're buying an actual book you're getting the material costs as well - or streaming fees or whatever

> There was this obscure indy game called Half-Life,

Yes and Wikipedia claims it was a "heavily modified" version of the engine

And while I get the tech demo angle, doesn't mean that Quake had to be one of those

> It was Carmack's job to assert technological dominance and give the industry its next generation of game engines.

Did they really?

Did ID make more money with engine licensing than with game sales?

They needed to ship. I think Quake Engine could wait, and have Doom++ would have given them some slack

This is the opposite to the Boeing problem (shipping the rehashed product instead of the brand new thing)

Someone needs to restart some Windows NT 4.0 machine in some cabinet somewhere

Well neither does Vitamin C.

It's not too complicated

The average player loses money. Hence the opposite side will make money

Exceptions are dealt accordingly

The rabbit hole goes much deeper than simply "they gave up on sovereignty"

While there are useful idiots in any situation (especially inside the UN), the level of sympathy for them - while was never high is going down steadly

The level of general sympathy for one of those (and their level of success) is much higher than for the others

Maybe because they were actively avoiding civilian targets

And even then mostly because a lot of people were supportive of their cause even if they were against their methods

Yes I totally agree, and there are nuances and details

But it's easy to push to one side or another
