I don't like Vulkan. I keep thinking did nobody look at this and think 'there must be a better way' but it's what we've got and mostly it's just learn it and write the code once

Sorry, *allow*? ALLOW?

I'm sorry. My device. My software. My customer or friend. You don't have the right to insert yourself into the process. Very kind of you to ALLOW me to do something you have no involvement in whatsoever.

Like everything google do the real reason for the plan is to let google insert themselves unwanted into someone elses business so they can extract money from other people's work.

I would bin my android phone now if the alternatives weren't even worse,

"It is now safe to turn off your computer"

Awesome I'll go turn it off then, it's just across the room from this one that isn't mine that I'm currently shutting down

So you get a zero even though you're product is great.

Ask the right question!

It's it usual to be asleep? I've not really heard of that. Is it a US thing?

If it's not then every single case of tax evasion people would claim that they had paid and the computer must have lost the payment. Every single traffic camera offense would be contested. Every time you didn't have a train ticket people would claim the computer lost it. And so on.

And there would be months and months of delays if every time it had to be proved beyond a doubt that the equipment was working fully in that case out of all proportion to the risk of there actually being a problem.

However clearly there does need to be a way to challenge the presumption too. Of course just assuming equipment is working is entirely unfair.

After a brief look at the article it looks a reasonable weakening of the presumption which allows the court to consider and reject a challenge when they think fit according to the court rules (to be established) Pretty much like any other form of evidence.

I recently renewed my subscription in part because this looked interesting. I kind of regret that now.

I had assumed that the subscription entitled you to all of clion and other ides, not just part of them and other features would be an addition charge.

I put in a ticket and within about half an hour they had installed a replacement disk. I then had to reinstall everything because I'd messed up my raid config but that was totally my fault not theirs.

I was very pleased with that efficiency on what is a very cheap server.

oh well

Great we have many good languages to choose from

You get a few added protections by purchasing with a credit card, and a mistake can't drain my current account in the same way as it could with a debit card, plus I get the benefits of a month or two credit for "free".

If I'm "forced" to use my debit card, I'll have to for essential purchases but this means that I likely won't be buying much more from amazon in the immediate future where I can find an alternative.
