Zelensky signed several laws on mobilization on April 2, one of which lowered the minimum age of compulsory military service from 27 to 25, making men eligible for the draft from age 25.

The current draft age in the USA is 18-25.

The actual news release has a bit more information.

The team discovered that a single chip responsible for storing a portion of the FDS memory — including some of the FDS computer’s software code — isn’t working. The loss of that code rendered the science and engineering data unusable. Unable to repair the chip, the team decided to place the affected code elsewhere in the FDS memory. But no single location is large enough to hold the section of code in its entirety.

So they devised a plan to divide the affected code into sections and store those sections in different places in the FDS. To make this plan work, they also needed to adjust those code sections to ensure, for example, that they all still function as a whole. Any references to the location of that code in other parts of the FDS memory needed to be updated as well.

This is some exciting news! Years ago I got interested in making my own game and went through many of his tutorials to get a handle on Unity. Eventually I lost interest and stopped working on it. After hearing about Godot I had gotten interested in trying again but never got around to even installing the software. Maybe this will finally get me motivated to get back into it!

Seriously! So many terrible adaptations. It's refreshing to see really good shows based on games. It also doesn't hurt that shows like "The Last of Us" and "Fallout" are based on story driven games so there is already a lot of good story to build off.

I tried that but it didn't convert to a link...

You might look for a data recovery tool. I've had luck in the past using them. Also, if you still have the Mac and it wasn't the drive that died you can remove the drive and use a USB HDD adapter to connect it to another machine.

edit: just read the text again and saw it was the drive dying, bummer.... Data loss sucks.

Not super tricky, they're using ChartJS and with some very minimal tweaks to the config (aka changing "pie" to "bar") the data would look like this!

edit: does look a bit awkward due to the huge difference in values. A logarithmic scale would look better, but is much more confusing.
