A grandparent's house had light switches that looked kind of like this but black (bakelite). And they are very satisfying, a good amount of resistance while rotating, then click.

Why is that rule needed? I could make my for loop try to solve the halting problem and it'll never finish either, circumventing that rule
That's an RNG from 1996. It seems neither recent C++ standards, nor boost, know anything about the modern PRNGs that are much faster yet better at passing test suites
EDIT: Ok the above quote was from 2014, and boost seems to know some now! https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/latest/doc/html/boost_random/...

The one where there's some short paragraph intended to evoke some feeling or thought, then longer ones that elaborate on it in some way. Or something like that, not sure how to describe it.
BTW its puzzle games are what keeps me coming back every day and see those posts :p
While probably niche and applications that need higher precision using their own custom types anyway, they'd allow cool stuff like easy to program fractals with much higher detail than now. But also, less precision loss in many applications.
Hmm, can we possibly find something that does survive at 5700 °C to use as a light source? Perhaps molten metal confined in a magnetic field...
Apparently Russia, China, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, etc... were not really into castles, while Japan was?
If only they'd actually DO something with this meaningfulness. I love and use Linux as my daily driver, but desktop environments and everything around it have become so complicated yet worse than before.
In the past a simple config file with intuitive setting names inside of them could make you do anything you wanted.
Today they have all these layers of abstraction for themes, icon sets and light and dark mode and what not, but almost NO combination works!
If you set light mode, you'll get some light gray text on lighter gray background somewhere, but if you use dark mode, then you'll get some black text rendered on a black background elsewhere. And even if not involving light or dark mode, same misery with whatever themes like "Adwaita" and others, some things will work in one, other things in another, I've seen a PDF viewer that made everything black text on black background in some desktop themes... A PDF viewer can't even independently choose its own text and background color without the desktop environment messing with it?
No theme I found anywhere has _well visible_ scrollbars, they all seem to love making them as subtle as possible so you can hardly see where your scroll position actually is. No theme I found anywhere has a _clear visual distinction_ (different color, not just a subtle shade difference) for the selected window vs the non selected ones. This would be _extremely_ handy for knowing in what window you're typing now, even windows 3.11 got this (and the scrollbars, and the ability to customize your colors) better
While not latency, it's still a thing they just can't get right, and when things were less overdesigned it actually worked better, so what was all this for?

Wow this is awesome, they had box-drawing characters in 1785!
