I'm curious what you've found the troublesome subreddits to be. I think I have a pretty strong idea what they are, but some validation would be nice.

I'm completely alright with just having fun and hosting your own little sandboxes online, but what good does it do to post and share this with others in its current state? The picture it paints is certainly not representative, and this

This entire benchmark is frankly a joke. As other commenters have pointed out, the compiler flags make no sense, they use pretty egregious ways to measure performance, and ancient versions are being used across the board. Worst of all, the

That might be the case in C land, but C++ land usually has a lot more stuff in headers. For examples, templates are not very useful unless they're defined in headers.

There's nothing contradictory here. Not once do I say that I've found the best solution. I merely reached a point where more effort & time spent on this problem will only give me a worse solution. And of course this is merely

I used to go through phases where I would try this. I gave Windows + WSL a shot. I gave embracing the Apple ecosystem a shot. I gave GNOME a shot. I gave KDE a shot. I was even crazy enough to give ChromeOS as my daily driver a shot. And so

The problem is that writing genuinely performant Java code requires that you drop most if not all of the niceties of writing Java. At that point, why write Java at all? Just find some other language that targets the JVM. But then you'r

While the meaning of "source" may be intuitively obvious, it's still relatively unfamiliar as "src" is far more prevalent than "source" when referring to source files. While "id est" may be equ

It sounds like the sort of compile-time code that you're talking about is closer to "buildtime" code in Zig, that is Zig code compiled for the host platform and executed by the build system to generate code (or data) to be us

You would only ever do all that if you had no clue what you are doing (and most don't). It's rather trivial to bypass modern kernel anticheats, especially with a hacked up KVM or custom hypervisor. So much of anti-cheat nowadays i
