I suppose in most industries, but in others a bug in a computer programming has more serious consequences.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therac-25 comes to mind. Many of the really consequential ones end up on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_software_bugs

The problem may be that it's a 7800XT which handles memory contention by freezing.

I have 32GB of RAM with 16GB VRAM and I haven't had a lot of luck running larger models like this. Are you able to expand on that?

There are certainly rats in Hamilton and Toronto; and I had the misfortune of dealing with them in my home at one point. They ate through (or under) the crawl space, and they would eat through anything we tried to store food in.

Unlike the sibling though I couldn't claim a nice neighborhood, it was near a soy processing factory.

It reads like affine types to me https://panzerschrek.github.io/U-00DC-Sprache-site/docs/en/r...

They borrowed heavily from Rust here.

I wondered if innoextract was Linux only, but I see there is a homebrew formula. https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/innoextract

Is the author reading hackernews?

It's the most common sports related head injury by a wide margin and helmets are quite effective at injury reduction.[1] As a public health policy it makes a lot of sense. Anecdotally I've flown over my handlebars and hit my helmet without serious injury, and I'm sure I would have been in much worse shape otherwise.

On cars the law requires seat belts and airbags and a variety of other legally enforced safety measures. If you have a study suggesting that helmets would significantly help I'd be curious to see it.

I grew up in Orillia, but my siblings and I all moved to your city. At the time it was just the closest to Toronto I could afford because all jobs are in Toronto. This city has grown on me, I wouldn't want to be any closer to Toronto.

Toronto still has a Pet User Group (TPUG) which runs the World of Commodore conference every year. https://www.tpug.ca/

It might be the closest thing remaining; though unfortunately I was too young to participate in the hay-day of computer hobby clubs.

I don't have the evidence to say either way, but I do know that at least my city has a lot of cellphone repair businesses, including mall kiosks. Presumably they have enough clientele to keep them going which suggests a lot of people are repairing their phones.

Are you able to run any of the old Loki games on Linux these days?

CorsixTH requires Theme Hospital assets but we didn't clone or otherwise steal anything that we ship, we require you to supply the assets precisely because we aren't. I presume that's true of OpenTTD as well. In the United States copyright protection for games covers the art and text but not the rules and Oracle vs. Google established reimplentations being fair even when exposing the same api. Truely novel game rules can be protected by patents per Nintendo.

Super Tux Kart does have battle mode somewhat similar to the Mario Kart balloon fight though not as polished (and many of the arenas are a little too large in my opinion). It also has a unique soccer mode.

Even glibc breaks ABI. The linux userspace ABI is too unstable and games don't have to be doing weird things to hit it.

Most of human history we didn't have electronic distraction devices and we have one Michelangelo; the answer is probably not as many as the question implies.

I suspect they would put out a GOG Galaxy that works on Linux well before promoting it on their web site that aggressively.

lua does not preserve compatibility between minor versions. As such they don't need to reserve words for future use.

I have a question. Does the directed / no cycles aspect mean that webhooks / callbacks are forbidden.

I work a lot in the messaging space (SMS,Email); typically the client wants to send a message and wants to know when it reached its destination (milliseconds to days later). Unless the client is forbidden from also being the report server which feels like an arbitrary restriction I'm not sure how to apply this.

I have strong Tawney Scrawny Lion and Un loup dans le potager vibes from this commercial. Delightful.
