But you can't fully trust them yet, according to the American Automobile Association's latest study released Thursday. AAA's automotive engineers put five cars with Active Driving Assistance systems to the test. The systems, also known as Traffic Jam Assistance, were used to navigate heavy traffic. The study found a dangerous datapoint: "notable events" (like people cutting into your lane) where the ADA

Basic dependency injection in OCaml with objects

In his article Why I chose OCaml as my primary language, my friend Xavier Van de Woestyne presents, in the section Dependency injection and inversion, two approaches to implementing dependency injection: one using user-defined effects and one using modules as first-class values. Even though I’m quite convinced that both approaches are legit, I find them sometimes a bit overkill and showing fairly obvious pitfalls when applied to real software.

The Steam Deck has yet to find a real competitor in the PC handheld gaming device battle.
