I don't see the problem at all, tbh. Both `get(K); put(K);` and `put(K); get(K);` are valid execution traces on a uniprocessor.

I wonder how many of us are like me: Just waiting for AI to get Good Enough (TM). The skill required to use AI is probably decreasing, and the AI getting better, so why not just wait? Time will tell.

Per capita emissions are relevant, because it shows how much each separate country needs to improve in a relative manner. Absolute emissions doesn't matter to what each state needs to do.

In Sweden and Denmark the tax service prepares a tax statement for you. In Sweden, if everything looks OK, you press a button. In Denmark, if everything looks OK, you don't even have to press a button.

I loved "Disney's Magic Artist Studio" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoyg4HB-nyc ) when I was a kid. You could spray cream onto the canvas, or add bugs and eye balls!!!

I don't think so, I suspect that this is standard fare for the audience of a website called 'lithub.' In the words of gamers: git gud, scrub. (<- light hearted jab)

Fun, I really wish I had the ability to reason around shaders and draw calls to do things like this :-).

> Meanwhile heavily hyped successors that lacked it, like Haskell, have vanished without a trace, leaving not even one widely used program in their wake. Do you think that inheritance had something to do with that?

Cathode Ray Dude on YouTube had a video with a guy calling himself tr0n(?) showing off his Symbolics machine. I can't find the video, but it's out there and it's good.

I don't think that I could feel the difference between 40ms and 10ms RTT when playing something like DOTA2 or AoE2.

I think you misunderstand what I'm saying, as what I'm describing allows for per-thread allocators.

I never said that C and C++ doesn't suffer from the same design problem? I'd say that Zig is the best in class here, typically forcing you to pass along an allocator to each data structure. C is a bit better than C++, as it uses a

I think Rust's language design is in part to blame, as it does not force the programmer to think sufficiently of the layout of the memory, instead allowing them to defer to a "global allocator".

> No lava buckets But that was available since InDev :'(. Cheers though, I appreciate the points you make and I agree with them. The mod adds too much realism for my taste, but most of the removals are very nice.

I really don't think that watching documentaries are equivalent to being able to discerning anything about an academic field. That reminds me of reading press releases to understand scientific papers, which we all understand to be a ju

Very cool :-). I don't know that much about the natives of Australia and their history, I wonder how many of these oral traditions have been written down. An immediate google gave me this document, seems interesting at a glance: https

I'm pretty sure that "cultural Marxism" is a conspiracy theory, so I'd probably downvote you for that still. Seriously, what is your definition of cultural Marxism? I'm not gonna respond by picking it apart or whate
