A while ago one of my friends mentioned to me that they don't actively remember their eurocheque card security code, but they can enter it automatically, without thinking. That made me think about my security code and I also couldn&#x2

But you can also use a fast language with no framework, but host it on a 5€/mo VM and put it behind CF and it will run half decent.

Excuse the harsh question, but how many people using this have actually died yet? As far as we know, you could just collect money and never trigger anything. It's also very hard to collect reviews for this service. I love the idea and

Sadly where I work I split my time very similarly and I thought it was a sign of a dysfunctional organization and a sign that I should leave. It's been my only professional software job, so I thought it's likely going to be better

I think the root cause of cat abuse is that grep just takes the parameters the wrong way around. It happens much more often that I want to tweak the pattern and I know which file(s) to grep than the other way around.

Maybe not. The German population is aging rapidly, our retirement model (young people pay for old people) is unsustainable and obviously unfeasible by the time I get to retire (in about 35 years), because there are too few young people to p

Though I am skeptical myself, it's much different than other many other hokum/pseudoscience in that it is probably not very harmful and no one tries to sell you something. Quick google searches show that there are in fact studies

I wondered which meson this title was talking about, because I only know the build system. Turns out its the build system! Cool stuff!

This did indeed consume my day whole, but it was amazing. This is one of the best games I have ever played. The shift in scale is funny and shocking and it's a nice way to experience principles like supply and demand. Its great at tran

I have used select and poll before and sort of skipped to io_uring for a recent project, which also doesn't do too well with multiple threads (you have to use multiple rings and do everything else yourself). It's a shame that ther

When people use "C/C++" as a single language I usually know right away don't know much about C++. The distance between C and modern idiomatic C++ is many times larger than the distance between C++ and Rust. C++ looks lik

I fully agree with your point, but I think the example is a bit aggressive towards OP. I'm sure you got a good chuckle of out of this, but I think it would have been better to give an example that did not seem like an attack. For examp

So if someone doesn't like what you say (and I presume there are plenty such people), do they have the right to DDoS you too? Just to be clear this is of course not a threat or anything. I really want to know when you think that speec

This really shows again that there is no use in giving in to angry Twitter mobs. There is something not quite right with them and even if they are given what they want, you are still the bad guy because it took too long. It happens again an

People aren't just ignoring Kiwi Farms and letting them know that no one likes them, people are shooting them down (with DDoS attacks). And if they make use of services that are intended to prevent that, people shout these services dow

I was actually one of the people that thought snaps and flatpaks are the future of Linux desktop computing, because they isolate software and they make distribution much easier. But since Ubuntu 22 switched to the Firefox snap I am not sure

Large corporations policing free speech is a horrible trend that often enough goes absolutely wrong and the only way to prevent censoring content inappropriately is to not censor anything at all. There are laws and courts that judge over wh

You're right. I'm sorry. It got too heated below my initial comment and I got upset. I'm not in a good place currently and I should probably refrain from commenting at all. And yes, I am not fun at parties.

I want to address some points for people that are reading and don't have enough C++ experience to judge that they are not as serious as they might seem. * You can just have your constructors not initialize your member variables. If the

My point was that I don't see much of a point in yet another language that is C with an extra 10%. There is another one like that almost every week. Plenty of applications that require manual memory management have been written in C++

RAII is often optional automatic memory management, like in C++ or Rust. Both of these languages are used for AAA games and rarely used for websites. My point was that if you don't go as far as those two, there is just not much of a po

I think Odin just doesn't do enough. The improvements over C are there, but imho too small to justify/motivate a large-scale change. And personally I think (!) there is no reason to introduce a new programming language without RAI

I am sure it will happen, but (in my opinion) there is no way that it will gain significant popularity. It's just too high friction and in game development being low friction is imho one of the most important attributes of a programmin

The main reason is having metals and non-metals in the same texture and you want the blending to look nice. Also consider cases where the material properties change with a higher frequency than the texture resolution can capture (e.g. metal

But in the same way it's even somewhat rude if e.g. a billionaire says they don't have money to buy something (assuming it's fairly cheap). It makes a difference whether they say that they don't have money or that they d

It shouldn't be a matter of preference. Use a pointer if you need it to be relocatable or if you need it to be optional (it may be nullptr). Otherwise use a reference.
