You write under the assumption that the people in charge have the goal to efficiently use resources to give back utility to the citizens who fund the system. That is quite naive IMO, with a mountain of evidence to the contrary. I would be s

This is C, not C++ - very different languages.

That's fair I guess. But I never worked for any huge company with huge profits. In fact they're small enough that I know pretty well that they're not making much profit at all. But this argument might hold more weight in bigg

Both taxes and rent take their part, but taxes several times more. So yes I blame taxes because that's almost the entire problem. Pay increases not resulting in more income is an effect of a highly complex tax structure that essentia

For us, there's just too much money taken off our wages to guarantee long-term safety and stability for even a single child. And wage increases barely touch that: The leftover amount is almost constant over a factor of 2 in income incr

experienced (and even the not so much) devs know the perils of static initialization and avoid it.

by bun_terminator 2y ago
True, however in practice this is rarely an issue. You usually only use a tiny subset of construction rules. And if you ever make a mistake, they are easily caught by static analysis tools.

Because adding a text is just a imgui::text("abc") function call. And a button is just an if(imgui::button("click me")) do_something() statement. There is no other language involved, no markup, no gui editor. Just direct

imgui offers incredible development speed. And I've used it many times with great success. It's unorthodox yes (and there's a long-open bug I won't talk about again) but it's dear to my heart. It's like MFC on

DLAs were my "breakthrough" in college. Where I could first apply my self-learned c++ chops to code some fast DLA number crunching including a real-time OpenGL visualization. Professors were happy to pay me money for code from the

Signal had a narrow window when there was some whatsapp scandal going on and signal was weirdly popular for a month or so. Then they announced their crypto bs. And in my bubble it was nuked entirely off the earth as a result. With Threema I

It would be if signal would have resisted the temptation to go cryptobro. They didn't, and they lost all credibility as a result.

It's their job and goal in life to hurt the population

by bun_terminator 2y ago
this has more weight: threema is the biggest "alternative" (after whatsapp and telegram) chat app among my peers. There's a sizable non-tech but pro-privacy part of the population that exclusively uses threema. This will be t

Thank you. htmx has me (a c++ dev) back in the web game. I can finally build entire web frontends without a single line of explicit js.

I am "officially diagnosed" and have (or had) a prescription. But I know the strange battleground of "I have it but you don't" well

I can't follow. It shoots your energy levels through the roof, makes even the hardest task a breeze and can be the difference between barely getting along and having a rockstar career

Yes of course - but the words are to blame in the same way a trigger is to blame.

Not sure I can follow either. Bullets obviously cause injuries. Words almost never do. And if so, that's mostly up to the recipient and trivial to prevent.
