Keep posting. Comments like yours bring balance to the linux ideologue that everything's all fine and dandy. We need some truth in this. The last thing we should want is to have an innocent, how-to-pay-rent-on-his-mind, game dev develo

Well if anything the general chinese working culture is to keep your head down and work diligently. If they do have to compare it's because of how connected everything is nowadays. The US comparatively does boast a lot more that it&#x2

In world history, it's a common case that the number 1 is always inclined to stay at number 1 while beating down would-be contenders. China has always been insular, and they don't think about space glories that much at the moment.

I'm not sure if you even read the article nor his books, and I disagree with your interpretation of his actions because they have very extravagant presumptions, judging from your comments. I don't think he was afraid. I think he m

it's not really lottery, that system has to involve growing a 'skill' such that one could possibly get 'good' and 'rewarded' at it, and that 'skill' doesn't need human approval, which will m

I'd like to present a different perspective, abeit slightly radical. I believe that there's a place for a time-efficient, minimal human approval, risk-reward system for a society in which jobs have been gatekept to ever-higher req

If stocks did not have positive expected return no one would invest. What you're talking about is daytrading where there's a large failure rate so much so people call it gambling because of the nature of how swingy and illogical i

Well I'd have to pay all the friction of writing up a new type, and in some cases the type gets cubersome. Doubly so if your codebase requires extra some friction like 1 header for each type. Also get over it. We got post-processor thi

poor? If I use RAII I'd need to have a struct/class and a destructor. If I use defer I'd just need the keyword defer and the free() code. It's a lot more lean, efficient, understandable to write out. And with regards to

you're completely missing the point. Even if it's 'not hard' your brain has to compensate for switching to another realm/space and that takes energy and time especially if you haven't used that particular space

Okay then how about another interpretation: I'm a software engineer questioning the boarder group of SWEs on what they're trying. (Somehow I have to show you another interpretation I can't believe how tunneled people can be).

It's hilarious that you can assume such a thing just by a couple of words on the internet. Or maybe I'm not a 'software engineer' by your standards because unlike your closed group of SWEs I'm a lot less focused on

printing should definitely be the tool of last resort. No one can argue how many keystrokes and brain cycles it saves using a debugger vs going through the task printing every variable.

Best not to tell that story. There was that story of an explorer lost in the jungle who had to kill and eat his loyal dog for the sake of survival. People on the internets did not like it.

It's both the ego and arrogance of the software developer. Like there's like nothing on people management in orgs. Like treating engineers like robots as though they'll unquestioningly follow what the author prescribed.

The most ideal and default go-to for quick inspections of program flow and variables should always be quick access to a good debugger when possible (ie. one single keystroke). Everytime you have to do a printf it's a slowdown, and you
