Re: Reasons why Rust is Better than C++

Programming Tier List: S-TIER :) Rust A-TIER :| Lisp, Fortran, Ruby B-TIER :oops: Java, C#, D (with garbage collection enabled), Ada, Python C-TIER (UNSAFE TIER) :( C, C++, Objective-C, Assembly Language, Perl I believe this list is mistaken.

VMU Pi

Someone put a Raspberry Pi in a VMU case [1]. Since ElysianVMU runs on Raspberry Pi, maybe you could run VMU games on the Raspberry Pi in a VMU case!

Re: USB GDROM

Yeah, that's actually how I found it. The GD-ROM on my Dreamcast failed, and I was looking for a way to fix it. I'll probably get one of these at some point, but in the meantime I just got another Dreamcast for $50.

Re: Dear Apple

Honestly, I think the right thing here would be for the compiler to give a type error, since they're different types. If you want to compare, then cast them so they're the same type. I know people feel like that would be annoying, but personally I think it's less annoying than having to remember the...

Re: Falco's worst nightmare realized

It's important to realize that by "Java" they are referring to a Java Virtual Machine (JVM), not necessarily the Java programming language. In fact, it is possible to compile a whole slew of languages to Java byte code to execute on a JVM these days. C being among them . Using the JVM as ...
