Part of me wonders if a lot of that baggage comes from C's background compared to Lisp. Or, especially when C's origins were originally to operate a PDP-8 I wonder if the goals and ideas behind each contributed to why the way they

Just because we're incapable of course-correcting, doesn't mean we can't express our discontent and have a discourse about it.

That’s really interesting. What made you feel that your mind changed? When I was 25 I was much more open to children, but now at 27 I’m very sure I don’t want to have them.

Not to discredit what you’re saying (because I think it’s valid!) but I’ve dated people that have had difficult relationships with their parents and I think being away from them has overall been a more positive solution for everybody. That

Agreed about the beginning of the article. It started to feel like the author’s value judgements were slipped in there, but later when they acknowledged “some might not see this as all bad” I felt a little better about it.

I’ve pursued some worthwhile wants in the past, and I was surprised about how much they satisfied me. I think deep down it wasn’t the things that I acquired that made me happier, but the effort I took into taking care of myself that made me

Agreed, utilizing multiple processes helps a lot, although a larger number of cores across the entire network helps a lot with compiling the mass of translation units. Most workplaces I’ve done C++ at have had extra IncrediBuild agents with

A lot of AAA game studios with larger C++ codebases use Incredibuild a lot. I can imagine having something with this level of parallelism would be incredibly useful.

That’s super cool. Lua’s footprint has always been enticing to me because of that. Which game did you work on?

In the games industry, I worked with an older programmer that developed games on the Sega Genesis back in the 90s. He said often changing the background colour[1] was the "simplest" way of debugging state or branches. [1] https:&

Recently at work I was able to use C++ templates to automate a lot of repeated boilerplate code I was responsible for. The reason was to minimize the amount of (error-prone!) rote work that had to be done as the project would continue to sc

I had never really thought about commas that way, but I can totally get why someone would want to use this style now. Thank you for taking the time to explain it!

When I was a teenager, my father brought an Ubuntu 6.06 CD home from his workplace. It didn’t interest him much, but he let me play with it on an old family computer. Once the setup finished I spent as much time as I could playing with the

A few millennial classmates of mine (graduated ‘15 or so) say similar things about the company culture. The previous systems in place and the existing old guard have affected their experience working there too.

I'm not in such a position, but if I wanted to learn about my ancestry and the source of my conception was reduced to someone else's anonymous transaction I think I'd be quite upset.
