It's a tad out of date, but the Second Doctor claims he received a medical degree after studying under Joseph Lister in 1888.

They've done some amazing work.

It's "FEX", Valve have apparently been testing it with Proton.

The Asahi Linux team have their own packaging/tooling around it, but theirs is slower at runtime because they have to run the games inside a VM as well.

I think it's unfortunately a given at this point.

And they'll take credit for "stopping" it once they no longer need to hype it up of course.

We have so many more problems than not being able to show some types of drug use in video games.

Well there was Joseph Staten, worked on CE/2/3/ODST, went with Bungie when they became independent, then rejoined MS and ended up being "Head of Creative" on Halo Infinite.

They're investing in "green metal", using their own renewable generation to produce hydrogen.

Whether or not it works out is another matter, but he (Andrew Forrest) seems to believe in it and is willing to put his money where his mouth is.

At the kernel level you're not going to be using package managers, or anything with a GC (rip D)

I don't think C is particularly good, but it's "good enough", and nothing obviously better at these use cases has come along to displace it. It's been around long enough that it "just is" the tool of choice for stuff for people.

Which of course leads to things like the Linux situation where it's big enough that nobody actually understands how it all works or fits together.

Hmm, for me it just says "This item is not available for purchase in your region", not sure I know that currency.

There are different kinds of solar power generation, the photovoltaic panels that generate electricity directly that we all know and love, and thermal solar. You'll commonly see a small-scaled version of this used on homes as a hot water system.

Scale it up though and you've got a system that can generate energy 24/7, as long as you've got enough thermal mass, and sunlight.

What you see in stuff like Google Maps or OpenStreetMap isn't plain Mercator, it's a variant called "Web Mercator"

And the US DoD doesn't like it because it introduces even more deviations than plain Mercator.
