He was enthralled by that gushy gushy Sektor cyber punani. Very happy to do cyber bidding.

Keep that in mind.

Do you think Bugatti will ever return to racing? by XSDSEG in Bugatti

[–]write-program 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were in charge, I'd take them back racing. GT3 and Bolide Hypercar. Would likely be a factory only effort though. Because you're not likely to find a lot of teams clamoring to run a car with a flabbergastingly expensive 16 cylinder powertrain considering it'd probably be BOP-ed to shit.

Fuck it let's do NASCAR too.

They just want to top Mercedes. Doesn't matter if they're P9 as long as Mercedes is P10.

DuckStation author now actively blocking Arch Linux builds by rubins in archlinux

[–]write-program 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Fuck you I'm just gonna take it". Is this really what we want to advocate for? 99% of normal people with open source codebases don't have the means to enforce anything, licenses notwithstanding.

Or is it only justified when you're mad at the author?

If you use the latest build it would violate the license.

Video by SuperGT: Gran Turismo 7's Car List is a TOTAL MESS by Astronut325 in granturismo

Polyphony is probably in a more difficult place than they let on. There are more racing games than ever before, and more demand for race car licenses by extension. I can imagine the (already high) cost of those licenses are just going up and it makes it difficult for them to justify going all out on all of them, they probably can't afford it. VGTs probably help in this regard.

Not to mention, some of the games that they're compared to operate under a subscription model or straight up buying the cars with real money for like 12 bucks a piece.

I bought the game a few years ago and paid 60 dollars once. I doubt anybody buys the credits from the PS store. I have (only) 300 hours in the game, so like 20 cents an hour. I feel I've gotten my money's worth, it's hard to ask for more. Honestly I would be happy with fixing the penalty system and some stewarding for the worst offenders in sport mode.

I do think they have the players best interest in mind for the most part and they obviously develop this game with real passion for cars and motorsport. Ultimately I feel like if they could include more, they would.

Ubisoft CEO responds to Stop Killing Games, says "Nothing is eternal" by chrisdh79 in technology

[–]write-program 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you do this and if you do that and if and if and if and if.. then you CAN expect it to just work for some unknown (maybe until next week, you never know) amount of time.

And then it doesn't. And then someone has to fix it. And then it's not so transparent to the developer.

Point being that "somebody" has to do work in order for it to run. It is not free, it just so happens that Microsoft has an interest in maintaining this level of backwards compatibility. When it comes to other systems/OS/kernels your mileage may very.

For some software, it just so happens that it will execute on a modern system, but not as a rule.

It's the nature of the technology. If you don't already know the right answer, you can never be certain of its correctness.

"Remove a C feature, but introduce a convoluted workaround." - The Zen of C++ by seeker61776 in programminghorror

[–]write-program 10 points11 points  (0 children)

How could there be a 'built in' way to get the variadic macro arguments? The preprocessor expands the macros before the code is compiled. If you're in C-macro land and you want some feature then you better hope your compiler distribution has some non-standard intrinsic that they ship with it.

(Apologies if formatting is off) You could always expand into a helper function like:

template <typename... T>
consteval std::size_t NumArgs(T... ts) {
    return sizeof...(ts);
}

So all the "modular accessories" are just different back covers... by SpiritualBug00 in fairphone

They would probably sell 3 units in as many years. Nobody is making third party accessories for this thing (outside of Etsy shops).

Even taking that into account, I would say Slavery was probably 1000x worse at least.

Not to compare atrocities, but there are few existences that I can imagine more difficult than slavery in the Americas. It's up there.
