- It is possible to have your own thoughts and also wonder what other people think.
- In my experience, when using Unity, I became acutely aware of creating garbage and how to avoid it. I used to see a lot of object pooling which is basically a makeshift arena allocator.
- > Incorrect. Nobody is denigrating the goals of the initiative. All criticism I see is directed at the choice of the mascot only.
The top comment, a thread you participated in, claims "The entire forced clippy movement is incredibly poorly thought out" after criticism of using clippy as a mascot.
- Well there are still some c++20 items that aren't fully supported, at least according to cppref.
- For myself, HN yes because I interact. YT, no because I rarely even like a video nevermimd comment or I teract with anyone, although I do sometimes read comments. YT is basically equivalent to TV for me, but I have shorts blocked.
- A single anecdote about having ideas while taking amphetamines is hardly evidence.
- I don't see anything wrong with taking responsibility for the code that actually runs. I would argue it's that level of accountability has played a part in Sqlite being such a great project.
- That's not the point. The point is that if it is never taken, you can't test it. They don't care that it inserts a conditional OP to check, they care that they can't test the conditional path.
- If someone says they'll have something by 2021 and they don't have it in 2025, you've adequately explained why no one believes them. Nobody cares whether or not the delay was justifiable, because they could continue having justifiable delays for the next decade.
- > So long as you get the basics right (like how Zig uses slices by default and has defer/errdefer statements), you won't have an RCE from a memory safety bug
This the exact same argument C/C++ uses. Just don't do anything wrong, and nothing wrong will happen.
- I can't speak for everyone, but for myself the scenarios in this simulator basically don't affect my life at all. Annoying radio ad, "That's annoying". People team requests my participation at some event, "No thanks". Don't want to go to work, "oh well". If someone suggested we get coffee I'd be excited. I've never even considered not taking meds I've been prescribed. Other things seem normal to me. I put on ANC headphones at my office job all the time.
While going through the simulator, I was shocked with the response to some choices and situations. I was not aware that these things were so disruptive to some people.
- Listing "anti-liberalism" as one of the worst characteristics of a group that committed genocide, eugenics, enslaved minority groups, and attempted racial extermination is the issue. The idea that being anti-liberal is what makes you a Nazi and not the other stuff is ignorant at best, which is my original point about education.
- > The Nazis in 1933 hadn't done anything within an order of magnitude of the evil they would perpetrate in 1943. They nevertheless were still Nazis, and everyone who did not actively condemn them then was in part responsible for what they did later.
Only because what they did in 1943 surpassed anything imaginable. In 1933 the Nazi party immediately banned all political parties, arrested thousands of political opponents, started forcing sterilization of anyone with hereditary illnesses, and forced abortions of anyone with hereditary illness. Evil is absolutely an identifying part of Nazis. The idea that Nazis are just anti-liberals is exactly why we cannot go around calling everyone we don't like Nazis. The Nazis were not some niche alt-right organization.
If you genuinely think there are Nazis controlling youtube or the government, and all you're doing is complaining about it on hackernews, you're just as complicit as you're claiming those people were.
- Can we stop with the Nazi stuff. I don't know if they stopped teaching history, but there is nothing happening in the US that is within an order of magnitude of the evil the Nazi's perpetrated. Being anti-vax is not comparable to genocide.
- I don't even like Zig but I read your blog for the low level technical aspects. I agree completely that blog posts are collaborative. I read all kinds of blogs that talk about how computers work. I can't say if it brings value to the Zig people, but it certainly brings value to me regardless!
- I would never take less pay to work from home. Im good with working in office or at home. Also, Im doing the same job either way, so I'm not sure why I'd be paid differently one way or the other. If anything, I'd think it's more expensive (insignificantly) for the company to give me a desk.
- I think I understand from the other comments. I never considered that it is technically an expense to withhold the income taxes of employees and then pay it to the IRS.
- I know literally nothing about business accounting or business taxes. Why does the expenses include both the employee's compensation and also their taxes? Do businesses claim their employees taxes as expenses?
Very cool to see such a detailed report about finances.
- This is my experience as well. I currently have two managers for a team of three people. One manager basically wants nothing to do with us, and the other wants hourly activity reports that I'm fairly certain he's never looked at.
- Oh that's interesting, I had no idea.
- Im not on Firefox or any Firefox derivative and I still get anime cat girls making sure I'm not a bot.
- Octopodes is the historically accurate pluralization of Octopus, but modern English has adopted octopuses.
- Daniel tosh is a comedian and a sea-doo is a brand of jet ski. A jet ski is like a water motorcycle.
- Im uninvolved in politics. Can someone explain to me why it's facist that the government is recording who is cooperative and who isn't? That doesn't seem malicious to me, unless you assume it will be used for punishing poorly cooperative companies. Even then, lawmakers know who cooperates and who doesn't, they don't need a spreadsheet for it. I'm willing to be enlightened of my ignorance here.
- I have two different compilers that implement C89 on my computer right now and I know of at least one other. How much support do you require before you consider something supported?
- Yeah, I don't like the rounded corners.
- I think that's a little dramatic. Screen savers originally served a purpose, and it's not unreasonable to be unaware that some people see them are customization.
If you think it's embarrassing, you're welcome to contribute a working implementation or pay someone else to do it. Otherwise, I don't see how it's embarrassing.
- In the cities I've lived, this is standard yes. For better or for worse, a man that isn't displaying capability to provide for himself is typically less attractive than one who is. Again, this is my experience. I'm not making an argument for or against.
I'm fairly certain antirez is the author of redis
