I'm neither and English isn't my first language (not that legalese is even close to any sane kind of English from last 200 years..) but due to my deep interest in Free and Open software, old games reimplementations, abandonware, r

The common pattern he mentions reminds me of the concept of 'semantic compression' (one big function and lots of variables first, then break it up into structs, classes, functions, etc.) by Casey Muratori: https://moll

And they can (apparently, I'm not an expert) be reclaimed. It's very technically challenging and expensive but they are still in all these old devices in Chinese landfills. They are not used up, I'd call them 'raw materi

Almost certainly yes. If it's not then this person is very unlucky. It's listed on urban dict and used in http://www.adequacy.org/stories/2001.12.2.42056.2147.html where it says Linux is a virus (ironically a

No, but I still can't call FCC or Congress (or enter USA easily..) so it's completely useless for me to see that.

I am not saying C++ and all the stuff listed is always safe, just that it's good enough for daily use, including professional use where lives are on the line. As I said before, you used extreme words and made C++ sound like Java applet

That's actually why I call BS on anyone who says "C/C++" while claiming to be a (former) C++ high level user (dabbling in it doesn't count, I dabbled Java, C# and PHP but it's not even on my CV because I don&#x

The call for removal of C++ is implicit or do you now say we keep extremely unsafe (in your eyes) software around and put our lives on the line? Lives and livelihoods do depend on C and C++ software in nuclear, medical, governmental, financ

by FRex 9y ago
Your point being exactly what? Don't put words in my mouth because I never claimed C and C++ are as safe as Rust, just that they are good enough for millions, including you, to rely on daily with their lives and that Rust itself relies

I can't even enter the USA without a visa that is expensive, hard to get and doesn't guarantee entry but I'm getting all these net neutrality PSAs today telling me to send letters to FCC and Congress... I'm supportive of

I've never seen Python or Lua community do that so far. But Python is its own animal (which IMO is only highlighting how good it is), it's not supplanting anything. Rust meanwhile both hates C and piggybacks on it (using LLVM, sim

I'm a big fan of Python lately but neither I nor Python community at large goes "you fucking scrub, use Python, fuck you, wtf are you doing, stop making broken progs for ppl and wasting your time, omg, obsolete shit you use"
257.
by FRex 9y ago
One of the reasons why I'm super hesitant of learning Rust is the attitude and emotional based opinions of the community. I picked up Python due to my work and I love it and I'd never think I would before trying it. But I also nev

They (id tech 2-4+) definitely are considered full on world class engines, FPS specific but still. They each have a renderer, physics, scripting, asset pipeline, map and data formats, tooling, etc. and were used to make other games. They ar

Where did you get that information from? Id tech is a clear engine family/line, they aren't named 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 for fun(except for the first one which really doesn't fit the rest). 1. Carmack himself says he wrote D3 re

This is such a dumb argument. Google already did and does censorship per country (including adhering to Chinese law back when they operated there) and so does their subsidiary YouTube (in regards to copyright, maybe in other areas too). At

The thing is that ROMs and emulators on PC offer some big incentives - stuff like Launch Box, settings and shaders, raw power of the device, controller support, etc. The emulator used/bundled here is apparently inferior to even one SEG

I just hope this won't be weaponized to attack emulation. Many big publishers and platform owners are unhappy with proliferation of ROMs and emulators. With things like these (and according to other commenters the ads are obnoxious and
