We ordered a bunch of subs from France, using a nuclear design as the base, but our government had them rip out the nuclear reactors from the design and stuff diesel engines in their place instead.
Then they walked away from that agreement entirely and joined up with the US and UK instead.
Edit: Oh, and the subs we’re now buying from the US, we’re getting the US to maintain them because we’ve got no capability to do so here.
Molten salt works… The same way all solar power works. By day, and even then only on ridiculously sunny days.
And at night, that’s kind of the point of it.
Didn’t ban them, just restricted who could sell them.

Reads more like a quote to me, so the author isn’t the one claiming it’s irrelevant.
Jack Dorsey may have had lofty goals for Bluesky, but he doesn’t even work there anymore.
Which is a point in Bluesky’s favour.
No matter what you’ve got to compile the shaders, either on launch or when needed. The game should be caching the results of that step though, so the next time it’s needed it can be skipped entirely.
The steam social/discussion stuff is a cesspit of racism, misogyny, homophobia, etc., has been for quite a while.
I imagine the stones would survive it, just fall out of the vanishing gauntlet. It’s not like the stones were a part of it, they were just being held in place by it, but then there’s the question of whether or not the contents of people’s pockets got snapped as well, we know the pager Fury had didn’t count as “part of him”.
And no, they used the ant man tech to go back in time, no stones there.
systemd maybe, but people are already running Wayland on FreeBSD and OpenBSD
It’s a tad out of date, but the Second Doctor claims he received a medical degree after studying under Joseph Lister in 1888.
They’ve done some amazing work.
It’s “FEX”, Valve have apparently been testing it with Proton.
The Asahi Linux team have their own packaging/tooling around it, but theirs is slower at runtime because they have to run the games inside a VM as well.
I think it’s unfortunately a given at this point.
And they’ll take credit for “stopping” it once they no longer need to hype it up of course.
We have so many more problems than not being able to show some types of drug use in video games.
Well there was Joseph Staten, worked on CE/2/3/ODST, went with Bungie when they became independent, then rejoined MS and ended up being “Head of Creative” on Halo Infinite.
They’re investing in “green metal”, using their own renewable generation to produce hydrogen.
Whether or not it works out is another matter, but he (Andrew Forrest) seems to believe in it and is willing to put his money where his mouth is.
At the kernel level you’re not going to be using package managers, or anything with a GC (rip D)
I don’t think C is particularly good, but it’s “good enough”, and nothing obviously better at these use cases has come along to displace it. It’s been around long enough that it “just is” the tool of choice for stuff for people.
Which of course leads to things like the Linux situation where it’s big enough that nobody actually understands how it all works or fits together.
They’re super useful, and it’s easy to get a US model in case you come across region locked blu-ray disks
It supports it, but it’s opt-in by apps.
Enabling compression is another option (Though with a speed and size penalty), it’s user visible at least.
To me it’s the tech equivalent of painting yourself into a corner, sure it works at the moment but what are the hidden costs of sticking on a dead end technology? What’s the upgrade path from a C64, a C128? What happens if a chip on the circuitboard fails, or the power supply? Can’t exactly order a new one, they stopped making them over 30 years ago and the company has been defunct for basically the same amount of time.
I wish I could remember more details, but I remember years ago reading about a company that had a core product that depended on an old 286 era laptop with a special software/hardware combo for maintenance, and all I could think of was that a single accidental bump of a table was all it’d take to shut down that product for months until they could find the exact replacement.
