It’s a bit sad how everybody talk about the new NTsync. Most games, like, 90% of them, are not bound by sync. You would get exactly no performance benefit in them. What’s better about it is the correctness of the implementation, more programs will work under WINE as a result of switching to NTsync. It’s a good thing, but media clearly seems to miss the point and only focus on a few cases where it would give an impressive performance benefit.

Unless your laptop uses some obscure networking hardware, should work out of the box. Never used Mint, but it looks like it uses NetworkManager by default, which I haven’t had any major issues with.

If you confused period and fax intentionally, I commend the effort.

Considering vibe is probalby float, I doubt any exceptions can be thrown there, you can eliminate another useless scope.

Even if it’s not float, I’d consider burning alive anyone who overrides an operator like this anyway.

Huh. I’m not that old, but now it makes sense why it gives the “ancient tech in a candywrap” vibe. I like the thing, though.

Try MusicBrainz Picard. I’ve had good experience with their recognition quality.

And here I thought people write “1st” because they are lazy and want to press 3 keys instead of 5.

There is no such thing as “zeroith”. Does not matter which numbers you slap on the tables, the one with the lowest number will always be the first. The word “first” has nothing to do with indices, it’s just an antonym for “last”.

I guess I’ll just add you guys to the “overzealous Witcher fans” and consider my point valid.

Yea, Croatia is the only place it got widely used. Is it some kind of historical elective course in Croatian schools? Been a coupe of times in Croatia, never seen Glagolitic in the wild, though. Maybe wasn’t looking good enough.

There is no single person responsible for Cyrillic script. It is mostly believed to be created by mixing and changing Greek and Glagolic scripts by the scholars of Preslav Literary School, which was indeed in Bulgaria. After a while, Peter the Great changed it a lot. And then Stalin stomped out almost all the deviations in the usage of the script.

The last part is mostly why it is considered Russian. A lot of languages suffered because of Moscow just forcing them to use the version of Cyrillic that Russians were using.

It’s a dead script that was not that common in the first place, in Kievan Rus’ it was even used as a form of encryption in XI—XVI centuries for how little spread it was. It is also very different from modern Cyrillic. So, saying “most Slavs don’t know how to read it” is a bit of an understatement. Noone knows how to read it, apart from some linguists and overzealous Witcher fans.

Nah, Georgian is arcs and circles everywhere, like this: ეს ქართული დამწერლობაა.

rand() generates a number from 0 to a constant defined in stdlib, which usually corresponds to the architechture of your compiler. So, for 32 bit systems (assuming all the software in the line is 32 bit, too) it will be 2^31-1 = 2 147 483 647, as 1 bit in integers is reserved for negative numbers and 1 number is 0.

Though, by design it is guaranteed to be at least 32767, which is a value for 16 bit integers.

Except rethrowing an exception in C# is just throw;, anything else is a crime against the person who reads your stacktraces.

Well, if you stop listening to people who think it’s a way to get really rich really fast (which it obviously isn’t), cryptocurrencies are quite useful. International transfers are so much cheaper and easier with them.

What’s the name of the show, though?

Probably not, if we’re speaking about the next adapter in the line. They both use 4 pins, and there are no active conversion in the adapter itself, it just connects the pins like this:

USB ↔ PS/2
+5V ↔ +5V
D-  ↔ D
D+  ↔ CLK
GND ↔ GND

So, as long as next adapter is not doing something funny with PS/2 signals, it should be ok for bare USB 2.0 connection.

Might depend on where you were learning.

On paper, when I was learning Descartes’ coordibate system, we used Y as up and X as left-right. And when it was time to plot in 3D, we used Z to “extend” the plane into yourself and away from yourself.

You just hold your sheet of paper perpendicular to the ground (or just use a whiteboard) and it all makes sense.

Sometimes inline stuff is more readable.
