I had to use Adobe Illustrator for work (I am a big noob). Their curvature tool is much more pleasant than the pen tool for defining bezier curves. Is there something similar in the works (or already available?) for Inkscape?

(Also does someone know how that tool work to infer how to place the handles for the bezier curves?)

Take a look at switzerland to see how this could turn out :) (obligatory swiss patriotism)

Can someone explain how portability is still an issue? Are there no cross-platform API and libraries that allow developpers to write portable apps?

I always tend to have a bit of a depression everytime I finish a book that I was invested in. But in particular, White Fang by Jack London left me in shambles

I am failing to recognise if this is satire or not. Maybe my geography is too bad, but what waterway are you talking about? Israel is not strategically significant four the Suez canal, is it?

If all major APIs use SPIR-V, does it mean that it could become the ISA of some GPUs? Like that time someone made some hardware that executed Java bytecode directly?

As someone who embraces "fuck cars", this happening is necessary and innevitable to transition to the world I would like to live in. I hope that the people working there won't become homeless and stuff, that they find new jobs and that the money saved by not centering society around cars can be put to better use.

I don't want to diminish the talent of the historian in vain but past performance is not always an indicator of being good at predictions, he might just have been lucky in a completely random guess 9 times out of 10. Given the amount of historians making such predictions it is not unlikely that such an historian exists and it would be fairly easy to mistake their success for talent.

I don't know where I found this but I found a scheme somewhere to scam some investors: Find a large list of potential victims. Tell one part of it that you predict that market will do A, and the other part that the market will do B. Repeat the process several times, selecting only the investors to whom you've always told the correct prediction. Eventually you will have a handfull of people who have "solid proof" that you are a visionnary and you can scam them.

Again, I absolutely do not mean to say that this particular historian is bad. This story just reminded me of these ideas and I wanted to share.
