I think I'd have had second thoughts when I realised the robots had to be flown to Finland, but I'm glad they went ahead with it :)

That's fair. I haven't played Metal Gear Solid for a long time but I did replay Deus Ex a few years ago and it still holds up. The low resolution is a bit of a problem but it's not a barrier.
Early 3D on the PC was better than on the N64, though. The low draw distance and blanketing everything with fog was pretty horrendous in a lot of games.

This style just ages well, doesn't it? I still play Zelda: Link to the Past every few years but I can't play Ocarina of Time even though it's probably the better game. That early 3D with the fogging and pop-in and muddy textures just doesn't hold up, but pixel art is timeless.

It would be very difficult for any TV show or film to meet this bar for non-fiction, because even if the footage is real there's still an edit.
The Senna documentary[1] is in the grey area. It's entirely composed of archival footage - no reconstructions, no talking heads, no voiceover. But the filmmaker has still chosen which footage to include and omit and in what order to construct a narrative. I don't think that neatly falls into fiction or non-fiction in your model.

Somebody asked about that on the GitHub thread. You can donate at https://liberapay.com/zedeus or https://patreon.com/nitter.
They also take crypto (see Donations section in the project readme)

I haven't seen that in the large codebase at work, for what it's worth. The thing that's surprised me about generics in Go is how rarely they're needed in practice. Very nice to have in the right place, but the vast majority of our source files still get along fine with plain old typed maps and slices.

As of June last year[1] the Go team have pretty much drawn a line under this issue, with a very small amount of wiggle room to possibly reopen it at some point:
"For the foreseeable future, the Go team will stop pursuing syntactic language changes for error handling. We will also close all open and incoming proposals that concern themselves primarily with the syntax of error handling, without further investigation.”
Personally I'm OK with this, I didn't see any of the (many) proposals as a definite improvement. They all had trade-offs.

I don't know. My knowledge is largely based on the caption of that photo :D
I would guess it's just uniform world record pace, and it's up to the runner to use their own strategy - stay just in touch with the light for the first three laps and overtake it on the fourth, or something.

Yep, they have that as well. You can see it in the photo here: https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/jul/18/josh-kerr-make...

I'd get rid of the animated emotes, they're a bit obnoxious. They pop up right over the part of the screen you're trying to read and don't add any value.

I was surprised not to see Sensible Soccer here, it was massive in the 90's (at least in the UK). Turns out it was never released as an arcade cabinet. I think they missed a trick there, it was arcade style and a lot of fun in two player mode.

Disagree on that vibe. The museums are usually free in London, for example. Haven't seen that in many other cities.

As you have it there, "but" would mean the latter is an unfortunate consequence or side-effect of the former, and you're getting both. Whereas "than" would mean you're getting the former and not the latter.
You can't have both.
