Unfortunately if I were to try to use unsigned ints extensively, I'd be casting them back and forth constantly, because nearly every standard library function that I'd want to use expects int inputs or outputs ints.

A small improvement in correctness is washed out by a huge decrease in ergonomics.

I'm really not sure who they made the movie for. There's not really enough exposition to explain why anything is happening if you did not read the books, yet it feels very repetitive if you are a book fiend.

The best explanation of watching the movie I've seen is a friend who felt they were reciting a litany as they watched each scene. "And now Gurney trains Paul in shield-fighting" "and now the Gom Jabbar" "and now the Shadout Mapes presents the Crysknife" "Now the Duke rescues the workers from the sandcrawler" "Now Paul and his mother face the worm", etc. I'll give the movie this, it hit pretty much all the episodes that one would expect.

I too do not choose to join a cult.

Best bet is to find rather boring lifestyle businesses with dependable b2b revenue streams. Nobody gets too worked up about anything, and there's no kool-aid to be drunk.

I would like a copy of that sqlite database to play with.

Having that all preprocessed would save a bunch of work compared to getting it from Wikipedia itself

Last I heard, Blizzard was hemorrhaging WoW users as well. Not a great run for them over the past couple years, with the terrible Warcraft III remaster as well.

It's a fancy version of Wine...

I've been hearing that line for close to two decades. I don't think Valve even supports their old GoldSrc games that they ported to run on Linux way back.

This is really the nail in the coffin for Linux-native game ports. It's really, really hard to justify expending the effort

I can't imagine. With a fiance and two dogs and a house, I barely have time to steal an hour or two before bed to play with my side projects. My weekends are spoken for.

If we had kids, I can't imagine I'd have a moment to myself.
