This is interesting to me, as someone moving from a company that uses C++ to one that uses Rust. It feels like the whole culture of the former company is built similarly - no guardrails, no required testing, or code review, minimal "re

I'm stunned so many people here can remember details as fine as the colour grading of a film. I couldn't remember specifics like that from 6 months ago, let alone 30 years ago when I was a child and wouldn't have had the thou

The UK cannot just "be Singapore". What happened in Singapore was a specific, unrepeatable combination of its geography, the needs of the region, the size of the country, and the culture. To maintain its wealth today, Singapore re

Around 15 years ago, as a semi-joke, my Mother bought a wireless doorbell and put the speaker in my brother's room to announce dinner was ready. It turned out to be quite handy actually. I think Alexa is a bit overkill for that usecase

So our team switched to vcpkg recently and, while it has improved certain parts of our dependency process, it has also made other parts more complex. Notably when something suddenly goes wrong it is far more complex to figure out what actua

The things the above poster suggested are largely man-made, artificially complex things seemingly designed to trap people. Things like paying taxes and handling healthcare are pretty much automatic in most European countries for example.

I found it very freeing when I moved country to leave almost everything behind. It really helps put into perspective what is valuable and what you know you would miss, and to reduce dependence and attachment on possessions. I think it has h

You don't need a co-processor for that. Final Fantasies IV-VI all used the 3D mode 7 effect for the overworld, making the effect more exaggerated when the player enters an airship. It's fairly trivial and inexpensive to use HDMA t

I think a lot of people are stuck with C++ due to the fact that there are a lot of legacy C++ codebases (many decades old), moreso than legacy Python or Javascript codebases. Rust does a ton of things better than C++ as other people here ar

Also - should the thing we optimise for in a language be how easy it is to learn? You learn a language in a small fraction of the duration you will actually use it for.
