So we meet at diefenbunker.ca? Sounds like a plan! 🍁

Interesting that Canada wasn't included (at about 20%). Wonder how/why they picked those countries.

My question when I see responses like this is: what genuinely useful new safety features have been added since Ada? It's ancient and has distinct types, borrow checking (via limited types), range types, and even fixed point types. I've always wondered what niche Rust is targeting that Ada hasn't occupied already. It feels like devs decided that safety was important, c/c++ are too unsafe, need a new language; without ever having looked to see if such a language exists?

Yeah, that's pretty much what I was thinking too. The combination of a c API and a JVM API (and maybe .NET if you're in Microsoft land?) Hits most FFI available in languages I've seen. I can't think of any language I've used that couldn't Interop with either a c library (.a or .so) or JVM library (.jar). However I've never used any .NET system seriously, so I don't know about them.

FWIW I regularly remake the same API based game whenever I start a new job working in a new environment to test that my environment is "up to snuff" with my development methodologies. I've never needed to port more than API.a and API.jar to play around in any language. I've ported that system to at least 100 languages over the years, and while some have more friction than others, and often the c/JVM paradigm doesn't line up well with the target language, it is always effective.

Except for one issue: it's an even width, so now we have the inevitable attempt to make it off-centered but pointy leading to a leafageddon. Oh well, can't have everything.

What are factions, and where do you search them? I don't see anything in the UI?

EDIT: found them under a link under info. Thanks for setting the faction up!

Yeah, when I was picking a scale I intentionally looked for one with minimal AA cause I was worried about that. The 180-wide version was full of it, as was the 99.

FYI: I'm starting with the outline of the left half of the leaf. I have to go to work soon, but hopefully there'll be enough outline for the rest to be filled in (just mirror it one pixel over).

Not false at all: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_the_United_States

11 solid yes states. Of course Florida is one too.

(obligatory this is satire)

If you read the linked document, it outlines how reverse engineering may fall under a certain level of fair use, e.g. for reasearch and/or backup/archival purposes.

It really isn't as clear-cut as it seems at first.

Wait until you learn about the shell specific /dev "files" like /dev/udp and /dev/tcp (which can send/recv IP traffic as if from a file)!
