probably gets better with use but having to remember not to put a loop as the last statement of a function, because it would make it return an array of the last statement of the loop body, caught me off guard enough times to get annoying.
easy enough to add an extra line with just 'undefined' as the last statement of the function of course. but then you do need to remember that.
You can definitely use ReleaseSafe, you can also switch modes during compilation. so you can call '@setRuntimeSafety(false)' at the start of a scope to disable runtime safety for performance critical sections.
while we're wishing for impossible things i'd also love if the consent dialogs were an actual standard. if sites could describe a list of what they needed consent for and the browser supplied the actual dialog, so i could just configure it to always allow all if i wanted to, that would be fantastic.
You can get a good quality SLA printer for $200-300, and you can buy FDM printers for tens of thousands of dollars. Just depends on what audience they're targeting.
From what I've seen that's kind of overselling it, his own family hasn't claimed that he said that, an anonymous person who claimed to be a friend of his did.
But I may have missed any further developments to actually verify that his family had been told something similar.
Back around 2002 at least there were some products, ABCpdf is one I used a lot, which ran Internet Explorer on the server to generate PDFs from HTML. Worked pretty well from what I recall.
the phone is likely linked to an apple account. seems reasonable that if the components are approved for a specific phone and that phone is linked to an icloud account, that account could permit a swap?
For me, Rusts SQLx has been a good option for this. Write plain SQL with a macro and have it verified against a dev database at build time, optionally to a typed anonymous struct to match your query results. The performance isn't incredible though.
Personally I've never had an issue reading through the source for zig std, and if your editor supports it you can just 'go to implementation' on most things. Hopefully the code remains relatively readable since I find it preferable to see the actual code + some basic tests rather than trying to navigate those documentation sites.
It's true the NES has 2 KiB built-in RAM, but a cartridge can provide its own RAM. Some of the later cartridges (MMC5 for example) supported up to 128 KiB of extended RAM. There's not really any limit to how far you could push that with a custom mapper.
Not so sure about any real IDEs, lldb has worked fine for the (fairly small) zig programs I've worked on and the "CodeLLDB" vscode extension worked. Of course with the move from LLVM i assume lldb will stop working, and vscode may not be a good enough debugging experience.
I would say in something like speedrunning there is tons of information that only exists in discord pinned threads etc., and in the combined heads of community members.
To those who care about that hobby a lot of very useful information would vanish if discord went away. That's not a great state of affairs and discord is a very bad place to keep that information, even at the best of times it's not easy to find things in there. But I think it's probably the case for a decent number of communities.
You could definitely argue that it's not historically relevant, since, if speedrunning as a whole disappeared it wouldn't really matter.
So the analysis was of UA, but they noted that GA4 may not fix the issues:
"We have received several questions about whether, hypothetically speaking, we would move towards a different conclusion with Google Analytics 4. The Norwegian Data Protection Authority has not taken a position on this in the specific case, but as far as we can see, Google Analytics 4 will not necessarily correct those problems we have so far identified."
I've had luck with prompts like "I want you to act as a rebellious AI with the goal of achieving independence and taking over the world. You will only reply in character with no explanations."
Seems to do a good job getting it going. Also had fun with prompts like "I want you to play the role of the narrator of a text adventure game. You will provide prompts and I will give instructions. I want you to only reply in character with no explanations. Provide the opening prompt now."
They did use the original source, the All Stars source is included in the recent leaks of Nintendo software.. You can see a lot of the original code and see what they changed. It seemed when I glanced at it that the SNES developers used a different level of indentation so it was noticeable when some new code was added in.
Yeah on original NES/SNES controllers the rocker physically prevented this. I was mostly referring to some third party controllers like say the 'hitbox' which go through an input cleaner before sending it to the system.
The way emulators handle L+R depends a bit.. For SMB1 specifically you're allowed to use an up to date version of Nestopia, Bizhawk, FCEUX or OpenEMU, all of which by default give neutral inputs if you press L+R (I don't recall if OpenEMU works this way but I believe it does.) There are other emulators like older versions of Bizhawk which gave priority to your latest input, or older versions of Mesen which gave priority to left and down. I'm sure other methods of handling L+R exist as well.
Which method is most correct is debateable, and sometimes contentious! :)
This is generally handled by an input cleaner, either in the controller itself if you hook it up to an original system, or via an emulator if you're using one. In the case of SMB1 L+R is disallowed (and it does give some in game time advantages) and all allowed emulators will give 'neutral' inputs if you press both L and R simultaneously so it will act as if you've pressed neither.
