"I don't have a monkey in this circus"

Can't wait to see Mullenweg's next feat of mental gymnastics about how this was also caused by WP Engine

At some point it starts sounding like an amateur mumble rap cover of the Pillar Men theme.

I don't find it confusing at all. The function doesn't test equivalence, and the return value is not meant to be a logical value.

That's not the truth. It's one of infinitely many truths. They hated him because Jesus didn't understand how implicit type casting between int and bool worked.

tldr is the application you need.

They were probably trying to run out the warranty period. (for legal reasons, this is speculation)

Not exactly. It splits the terminal into multiple tiles and each one contains a different Hacker screen. Anything from Matrix-style falling characters to echoing a random manpage to a filesystem tree to a character graphic world map.

Since the article fails to link it (and also reads like slop), here is the actual publication: https://commission.europa.eu/document/8af13e88-6540-436c-b137-9853e7fe866a_en

The title is gross clickbait. The EU is not banning virtual currencies, but ~~introducing~~ informing publishers of ~~regulations~~ guidelines to ensure the user is informed of their real monetary value, and that deceptive or unfair pricing practices are avoided.

I use Linux because the Windows normies recoil from my computer in fear whenever I open the terminal, like a school of fish around a shark. Sometimes I even open htop if I want the office to myself.

a lot of younger devs like it and thus it will attract their contributions.

You get it! That is probably the biggest "soft" factor for why I want to see Rust proliferate. Nobody wants to learn C! It's an ancient, cumbersome language that is difficult to use in a secure way. I've been both a student and an employee at a university with many programming-related classes, and beyond the absolute basics of memory management, nobody does anything in C, or even C++. It's almost always C#, Java, Javascript, or Python. No Rust yet because most of our teachers are also geriatrics.

Linux (and FOSS in general) has an age issue. Prolific older developers are leaving their projects or transitioning to less code-focused tasks, and the ranks are not being filled. Prospective young developers simply bounce off projects because of steep entry requirements, and the active resistance of anti-Rust evangelists (the likes of Christoph Hellwig for example) doesn't help either.

Some of their 13th and 14th generation CPUs have manufacturing defects that resulted in oxidation. In some use cases (servers and such), failure rates sometimes reached 50%. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVdmK1UGzGs

 

INTERFACING [Trivial: failed] - The umbrella bounces off the side of the bin with a clang and a clatter. It comes to rest on the cold concrete, in the middle of a puddle of trash juice. It is no more pitiful a sight than before.

Philip Rebohle, DXVK's founding developer, stated in an interview that he started the project "to get one specific game to work". Later, he explained in a forum post that he was a bit of a Nier fanboy, and that it was a relatively simple game to use as a test subject for DXVK.

Rebohle was later contacted and hired by Valve. Wine already had a D3D11 compatibility layer, but it wasn't nearly as far ahead as DXVK at the time. It's fair to say that Linux gaming wouldn't exist in its current form if not for one guy's appreciation for Nier Automata. Rebohle still works at Valve, currently conributing to VKD3D-Proton.
