Would you mind to name five of those hundreds of problems?

But Linux is a registered trademark, too.

Come on, almost two thirds of DB Fernverkehr’s trains are punctual (if you accept DB’s definition of punctuality, which allows six minutes of delay to still be counted as punctual).

US is probably the only country that went back on rail transport. Every other country is taking it as far as they possibly can.

I don’t know for other countries, but Germany (that has a decent high-speed rail network, to be fair) had a rail network of almost 55,000 km in the 50s and less than 40,000 today. More than 300 train stations have been closed since the year 2000 alone.

A developer evangelist is not a press person, but a developer that gives talks to other developers. I didn’t find any specific numbers, but Microsoft probably has hundreds of them. And anyway you wouldn’t expect that kind of announcement to be made by anyone who isn’t like C-level, in a presentation made specifically for that fact, accompanied by a big marketing campaign, and so on.

Windows 11 officially requires Secure Boot and TPM 2.0, but can easily be run with just TPM 1.2, and with some effort even without TPM. All the other system requirement increases (like single to dual core, 2 to 4 GB RAM, etc.) don’t really play a role for any recently built PC anyway.

But incorrectly quoted as “Microsoft promised…”. It was one low-tier Microsoft employee who said it once, in a side note of a conference talk that was not about the future of Windows.

Mostly because they have to wait for Half-Life 3 in order not to confuse the customers.

I don’t think it’s the passport thing. The differences between European passports are minor, so in that matter you surely could accept all EU nationalities. If you really want the best ones, then Sweden, Finland, France, Italy, Austria and Switzerland are among the ones that bring you the farthest in the world, and those are not in the list, while Greece and Norway are less powerful passports, and the USA, Canada and Australia even less, and all of them are in the list.

Of course it could be one or multiple specific countries they want you to travel, but chances for that are low. Clearance sounds much more likely.

Not having 60 fps might be an issue for a shooter or anything that is built on fast reactions, but it doesn’t really sound like an issue in a city builder.

Isn’t Lemmy primarily a link sharing network?

I didn’t read it, so I didn’t share it initially, but this was the article I saw earlier:
https://www.vox.com/2021/5/10/22429240/facebook-prompt-users-read-articles-before-sharing

No. There are studies about that, see e.g. https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/misinformation-desk/202212/study-few-people-read-what-they-share for a more recent one. That’s also why Facebook, Twitter & Co at various times implemented various features trying to push you reading the stuff you post.

Same for me. And the individual games have prices > 0.

EDIT: 15 minutes later, now it works.

Given that in the very same post he wrote “we need to go back, way back, into the mists of time, when dinosaurs roamed the earth, and we started working on TF2”, did you consider it could just be a joke?

This article has been shared a lot when it was published a month ago.

The English voice recordings for Cyberpunk 2077 were all done in London and LA. So it’s basically sure that it wasn’t Poland, and it’s much more likely that it was LA than London in this case.

They cut the size down to 30 MB on iOS in 2019, but they’re back to 110 since (on Android, it’s 60 MB).

EDIT: In terms of updates, they are pretty stable at one update a week on both systems.

When you were deciding for this processor, Intel’s similarly priced i5s were no match for it, so if you were looking for Intels as well, you likely would have had an eye on the i7 processors of that time (for a minor performance benefit at a heavy price tag). So maybe that is where your 7 is coming from.

What will people do? Sue him to provide the promised legal funds they need to sue their employers?

Well, you are right that Microsoft never applied this large-scale, nor does it currently run any underwater datacenters. But project Natick anyway ran for over five years, with the first prototype having been deployed in 2015 and the last one recovered in 2020. So apparently not exactly the definitive future of Microsoft datacenters, but much more than a photo op.

I’ve been programming with lots of dumb people, and I’m particularly dumb myself, but if you really literally spend hours looking for missed semicolons, then you should give up programming no matter if this means more time for date nights or more time to look at the wall.

There’s this 2013 blog post about it, reacting to a reader wondering how the “!!1” even survived the 404 page redesign a couple of years earlier: http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2013/05/error-404-not-found1.html

Best I can offer is a combined UI and logic class with 12,500 lines currently. It started out with less than 3,000 lines in the year 2000 (using the brand new Java 1.3), grew to 14,000 over time and survived our recent project-wide one-year cleanup project with only minor losses of code lines.

Tesla, not having a PR department, is notoriously hard to contact, but the one with the poop emoji is Twitter.

Why is this called The GNU Testament, making it sound like it would be a core document of the GNU project, which put a lot of work and thought (including a couple of actually fundamental documents) into the development of a free and open operating system, and has plenty little to do with cracking games?

It is an early stage software and such things can be worked out, you’re right. But on the other hand, such basic elements should be based on a thorough concept before a single line is coded, and implementing something like a delete button with “Let’s just make it delete the most visible stuff for now, we can always improve that later when there is time” is recipe for disaster.

Nice to read and all, and I’m looking forward to that game, but am I the only one who expects a “development diary” to contain some information about the actual development of the game rather than just a feature presentation?

Correct, but done by ransomware operators.
