I'm not completely sure what exactly you are trying to say, but it seems to me that I somehow deserve some of my personal information being stolen, because someone that also uses DigitalOcean sends you "dodgy packets". What?

The question is not really if you want to be taxed to pay for UBI, but if you rather want to be taxed to pay for UBI than some other bullshit that you are currently being taxed for (of which there is a lot).

If you openly admit in a public internet forum that you use C++, you WILL be reminded that Rust exists and it vastly superior to your choice of tool. I find your statement very questionable and don't personally know any game developer

> "Best practices = don't write bugs" That's absolutely not what it means. Best practices usually means "don't use these features anymore" and "use these features whenever you can". And that i

I'm try to not sound rude, but I don't think I can. Every C++ developer with even some significant amount of experience will identify this as bad code with one eye closed. Of course this looks wrong to someone that doesn't kn

I think being sort of "rigid" is part of the appeal of Meson and definitely intentional (keeps complexity down). I can understand how that might be off-putting or even obstructive to some though. But being too flexible is in a way

Everything is big and old, so there are multiple ways to do it and making them work with the old ways is sometimes trouble. If you wait a couple of years Rust will be like that too. cppreference.com is good and hast almost everything you ne

To be fair Google libraries are famously hard to build and integrate. It doesn't help that they use their own build system, though it seems gRPC can be built with CMake now. It's a good number of years since I did it last, but int

I really don't think Meson and CMake should be mentioned in the same breath here. I would be glad to know what you think makes Meson so bad.
