Again, I think there's an underestimation of what it takes to make a country, especially in a world of organized hostile players. You're far better off with spreading ideology.

You underestimate things quite a bit. Decentralized ideologies are what's being practiced right now; and in fact, it's part of the USA's geopolitical strategy of pushing democracy onto countries, whether subtle or otherwise.

The const infection is real in a codebase, and it's the very definition of a bureaucratic practice that saps the fun out of coding. Hopefully people use locality of variables more.

Spoken like an armchair designer, with a huge bias at that. Game designers know that you have to splice in boring moments into their games so that the next dopamine shot has more impact. You can't do 100% fun all of the time. This is w

Stick to non-modern c++ imo. Also in java everything has to be under the constraints of an object before you can do the stuff you want to do. It does seem more extremist to me because it's literally encoded in the compiler ruleset.

Every time I see one of the 'leetcode=IQ' test comments I wonder if the poster has any semblance of what an IQ test is. For what it's worth IQ tests test for pattern recognition skills and learning ability, usually within a s

You'd want robots at that point. Or guillable people partaking and circle jerking in their own careerist cesspools. Better hope they don't get put in a leading/exploratory positions as the company dies a slow 30 year death.

I do this, but no apps, just a plain old google sheet. I sometimes miss several days due to forgetfulness and neglect, and have to recall what I did. It's also a great way to estimate how long projects take - pretty much thanks to past

Not what I'm saying. Blame both sides but this is just tit for tat behaviour that happens especially when one side deems the punishments unfair. You are never going to solve anything in that manner.

That's what you'd like to think. But the quantity vs quality pottery grading story is a tested and retold one. Also this might just go to show that you've settled for a slower pace of progress. And this term 'correctness

What do you do for a living anyway? Seems like you're a narrow minded tech worker chalk full of himself. If you intend to be a modern day slave master, at least give people the proper dignity before the whole mob comes for you.

Sure you can do it in a PR. But this assumes that the feature is tested in isolation and not in conjunction with the rest the software. And the software really should be worked on as a whole.

There's some attempts to keep C++ stuff restrained done to a sane level, for example Orthodox C++ https://gist.github.com/bkaradzic/2e39896bc7d8c34e042b . I suggest that you stick to them. And for everyone who feel

This is a classic academia-ish take. Consume a bunch of theory and regurgitate whatever you've read. Better way to learn is making stuff with the language, having actual skin in the game. Only then bounce back to theory on the more nua

For example you really don't need to enforce a 200ms turn rate, and their notion of what makes a 'communications turn' is unclear given the terms gamedevs use nowadays.

To add on to this, the current most preached about "best practices" comes largely from a de-risking, never-ever fail point of view, ie. 'safety'. Unfortunately with such standards also comes a concept known as 'accc

Categorizing it as either a bug or a feature is thinking at extremes and is indicative of the influence of the media on your minds, leading to poor decision making. It's a feature with weaknesses. As another example, the NRA preventing
