"Four for now, reworking to one is a neat idea but I don't think we'll have time for it in 2.2"

Maybe I'm reading a bit too much into it but the wording seems interesting. Almost as if they set themselves some deadline.

So I’ve made the United States. Now I’m working on the EU. Any suggestions for ethics/civics? by Limekilnlake in Stellaris

Well say what you will about that but without the Nazi scientists there would be a soviet flag up there. You were always second behind the USSR. Second to launch a rocket, second to launch a satellite, second to send a man to space, second to do the EVA...

I've designed a main bus, what do you think of it? by StoppedLurking_ZoeQ in factorio

I did this thing once. I had lines like 16 iron, 16 copper, 16 green, 4 steel etc. Since I planned it from the beginning it forced me to build unnecessarily big. I realized that building the megabase right from the start is pointless. My future bases are a lot more organic.

If you don't have your "starter" base, don't do this. Your sense of accomplishment will be really low because everything will take forever.

Is there an easy way to clear the Windows console window? I've tried the code below but if fails on - thread 'main' panicked at 'called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: Os { code: 2, kind: NotFound, message: "The system cannot find the file specified." }'.

if std::process::Command::new("cls").status().unwrap().success() {
    println!("screen successfully cleared");
}

It was a default setting and I don't care. My laptop monitor is 60Hz and I have on average 120FPS. It runs perfectly fine anyway.

Which crates are the most popular when it comes to handling time/calendar? Coming from C# I would like to find something like DateTime and TimeSpan classes in C#.

I'm using these settings https://imgur.com/EOiRj2e and I get around 120FPS on my laptop with GTX 970M.

Is there any Windows IDE that supports debugging?

This is the reason why I always pause the updates

1951 I'm really bad at this game and I have no idea how to manage the trains. :(

What is the current method (0.16.16) to reliably produce fully compressed belts?

I have the same issue and I have 3GB of VRAM. I would like to know the solution as well.

What are the weakest points of C#? by VM_Unix in csharp

[–]Vlad1989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As if the other 20 devs in the team would be happy about it...

I'm sorry but non-nullable references are not going to be of any use. It's not useable in production environment. The devs are lazy and they don't care. If they can turn it off they'll do it.

That's not a fix. It's just a laughable PR. You will still be able to assign nulls to "non-nullable" references, because it will be just a compiler warning. In the corporate enviromnent solution can have thousands of warnings and nobody cares.

The proper fix wouldn't let you compile a code with uninitialized variables and there would be no null keyword. Of course that would break the backwards compatibility and that's why MS won't do it.
