I think this statement was long ago amended to: "you should learn a systems language, if you want to be a 'complete'/'well-rounded' SWE" C was never the point (it was just the common low level language), t

Yeah, that and it wasn't as low-level as SDL. You didn't have to manage your draw instance, textures, screen flipping, frame locking/time deltas etc. It was much more conducive to the paradigms of what a game loop actually lo

Which is what he ended up having to do anyways, but with life attached. He's an egocentric moron. At least, that's my opinion as an outside observer.

That's funny, I always found allegro (4 or 5) easier than SDL. Allegro's performance had some issues for me, which is why I switched.

The most annoying part about premium is that pretty much every youtuber now just does in-video sponsorship, which is about 10x as annoying to me. It's not easily skippable and I'm not going to Nebula or becoming a patron at 5-10us

Like I said, agree to disagree on the basics of the language; which is usually a conversation closer. Feel free to talk to a wall from here on out, if you insist on getting the last word in.

Kinda implied by the "IRS" in the title, the fact that layoffs have most heavily impacted the US and, oh right, that this is an American website. Always hilarious to hear people jump on Reddit, HN, New York Local Volkswagen enthus

Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. The term is perfectly fine, it's simply too generalized. So if other's want to use other terms to better describe it, I support that; no matter who was first. Otherwise we end up in another &qu

And "dynamic programming" is an insanely general term that leetcode enthusiasts have pigeonholed into meaning memoized reduction. It can describe dynamic dispatch, code morphing/rewriting, dynamic loading, etc. I would argue

Well, you see, most OSes today aren't written in ASM. Their native libraries are C, so you have to interface with those libraries if you want to utilize them and their features. You can certainly write your own TCP/IP stack with

The picture is just to show how far the plane has deviated from its original design on a colinear (e.g. same price/size target among the new generation) scale. If you want more depth into the pains Boeing goes to not trigger a "ne

I always thought that was the most idiotic part that the FAA accepted. Like, I get that there has to be leeway for similar configurations of the same plane so they don't have to go through the process for each. But it's been so cl

by deaddodo 3y ago
And it mostly comes down to Boeing being unwilling to invest in a new design so they can keep getting grandfathered into the approval process since all iterations are "the same plane". Something that probably directly led to recen
