Same. Though I did love split-screen black ops zombies on the 360.

Some companies are wealthier than most countries.

Not enough AI. Gotta use the webcam+AI to set the timezone to one that’s most frequently used by people of whatever ethnicity it thinks you are.

Because you and everyone else in the world are american and must know about everything every american public figure has ever done.

No. No I shouldn’t.

Callbacks and decorators are fine, but callbacks/decorators to a function which itself takes a function pointer and returns another function pointer are crazy.

I’ve thankfully never had to use recursive callbacks or decorators, but it seems like it could very quickly become difficult to keep track of.

If you actually use code like this you’re insane.

Agreed. I don’t understand the people who claim it’s easier to work with, or better for prototyping.

Automatic typing exists. Type casting exists and is even handled automatically in some scenarios. Languages like java and C# can manage memory for you, and have the same portability and runtime requirement as python.

Prototyping in python and then moving to another language later makes no sense to me at all.

I think it’s context dependent.

The field is called mathematics, but I see math as a short form of mathematic or mathematical.

Calling something a ‘math’ question or a ‘maths’ question both make sense. But something like “I hate math” sounds like you hate a singular mathematic, which sounds weirder to me than “I hate maths” (the field).

I have aged since but I’m not quite 27 yet, so maybe it worked?
I’ll try adding that eyeglass cleaner and let you know how it’s going when I’m 40.

Holy shit you just reminded me of my childhood.
I remember mixing all the things I could find in the bathroom because I thought it would make your hair grow faster and might be the secret to immortality, because none of the scientists would have considered mixing dove and palmolive together.

Not sure if it was a plasma issue or a wayland issue, but I tried it last year and had trouble with cursor locking.

Virtualbox had issues with the input being intermittent, and my mouse would move off the screen while gaming.

It might be fixed now, but I don’t plan on trying it again for another few years, because what I’m using works for me.

I would argue that unless you’re specifically trying to learn a new language, you should use whatever language you’re most effective in.

If that happens to be C++, use it.

You can blame @Mubelotix@jlai.lu for that one.

Careful, they might call you a nazi for saying that

Are you suggesting that the algorithms for every website are pro-trump?

Algorithms mostly care about profit and user engagement.
Go check the front page of reddit and see how most political posts are about trump’s/america’s fuck ups.

They don’t ever browse the internet?
They never watch tv?
And they never have conversations with somebody who has?

I’d assume the average american has a rough idea of what’s going on. You’d have to try pretty hard to avoid it.

Of course people are going to prioritise their daily issues and the things that directly affect them, but don’t pretend that nobody ever gets spare time. There wouldn’t be multi-billion dollar media companies if that were the case.

It just seems like people prefer media consumption / escapism over education.

Yes! Another one is ‘the sniff’.
There’s been so many times when I walk past somebody and they do that weird outward sniff thing, like they want me to know they’re there.

I guess I forgot to mention that those platforms usually require you to sign NDA’s that prevent you from releasing any code that references their SDK.
This makes it impossible to license your entire project as GPL/AGPL, as you would be breaking the NDA.

Using a GPL library will require you to re-license your entire project as GPL, regardless of whether you made a change or not.

LGPL is a bit better, because it allows you to dynamically link the library. But you’re required to provide a copy of source for the library, and any users must be able to swap the built library with their own copy.

Eg; you can use an AGPL-licensed .dll in your closed-source windows program, because users can swap that .dll easily.

You can’t do the same for a ps5 game because users aren’t able to replace any files that the game uses.
