And the fact that you were getting downvoted for this rational take concerns me even more. Scary times ahead indeed.
> It can be accessed from behind VPNs without any issues, so effectively it doesn't matter that it's not e2e encrypted. How do these two things correlate? I thought the benefit of E2E encryption is the fact that no one…
I’m all for using C for native development (and because I find it fun to work in occasionally), but I agree with your sentiment here. Not only do you have to manage memory manually, but you also have to do a lot more…
Who’s talking about exterminating people?
16 x 7 = 112 days, I’m not sure I understand your comment? Even if it was business days only, 5 x 16 = 80 which is still above the minimum needed.
As someone that got rear ended on my way home from work and had my car totaled a few months ago, I disagree haha
Yep. The company that my 401K is managed through began sending me these stupid emails about “Tips to manage your wealth”, and it was marked as an email that could not be unsubscribed from because it was pertinent to my…
I didn’t dismiss the point. My next sentence that you left out of that quote addresses it ;) I also learn concepts bottom up, but thank God everyone isn’t like me. I’m just glad prebuilt tools like the game engines we…
I saw another commenter explain that it’s passed by reference, but I agree with you. The C++ Core Guidelines even mention that it’s better to use raw pointers (or pass by value and return a value) in cases like this to…
I really don’t understand what you’re saying here. Letters have existed for literally thousands of years at this point and people were able to communicate effectively through that. Several countries were founded and…
> Essentially these are people who don't actually want to work and would be just as happy or happier on UBI. As one of “these people”, I enjoy my job, but I can recognize the fact that it’s just a job. I’m amazed that…
The fact that it’s a game that was developed by people that were self-proclaimed “non-coders”[0] using a plug n’ play game engine Stencyl (a no code engine) and then later switching to Unity. It seems to me the plug n’…
That’s completely besides the point. I agree that working on an engine can be very fulfilling and round you out as a developer. But it’s not easy and I wouldn’t recommend that somebody who just wants to make a game go…
You seem to be very intent on insisting that anyone can make a game engine (which I mostly agree with). But, it’s not easy, even when you use a pre-existing framework like Raylib. I’ve used frameworks like Monogame,…
I actually started with the Stormlight Archives :D He is a great author. I originally read The Wheel of Time, and the last few books in that series were cowritten by Sanderson. They were so great that I ended up buying…
I’m reading the mistborn books right now. I was up until 2 in the morning finishing the first book in the trilogy the other night. These books are fantastic!
I’m sorry, what? The best computer scientists I know, Djikstra, Tony Hoare, Turing, Knuth, and more, all developed practical algorithms and concepts that are still used today! Like the parent commenter said, it’s really…
I live a 15 minute drive from my city, but it took me an hour and a half to get home in rush hour a couple weeks ago. I guess it’s my fault though for being stupid and not paying even more of a premium to live within a…
A more optimistic reading of that sentence is that OP respects the accomplishments the engineers were able to make, but they aren’t impressed. I tend to agree with your sentiment, but reading the whole original post in…
Thanks for the response! I think it would be cool to see if a different notation lends itself better to these questions, but I do believe that the classic notation we already use satisfies most of these questions. I…
> the main problem that i'm solving is that a standard notation mostly obscures structure Can you expand on this? I’m a hobbyist that’s learned how to sight read, and one of the coolest things was when I stopped seeing…

Most games have a lot of “jank”, even triple A games. I feel like most people underestimate Roblox because of the graphics, which is 90% how well you can create assets, and 10% programming skill. The real technicality…
