Also what about laws and governments ? This is a very american perspective IMHO to miss this part of the picture. Some stuff should be regulated. Especially post of FB/Twitter/ect …

Rectitude : a procedural generation editor for pixel art and generative art. https://lbarret.itch.io/rectitude Starting to make cool stuff with it : - https://twitter.com/LBdN/stat…

It depends on how you shout. People won't stampede if they trust the leading authority, if there is credibility and competence.

PG wrote very very good books and essays. But the current PG (esp on twitter) seems to be so far away from this level of quality that I see where you're coming from.

Powerful doesn't mean fast. Python is quite slow but C++ is not powerful enough to make so many things usable without -comparatively- a lot of work. C++ is very fast and entrenched…

This way of speaking is believable for Chinese scientists and militaries. The cop had a very different tone.

I am finishing a procedural generation pixel-art editor, aka you connect nodes to get a rectangles of colour. The cool part is the nodes you use are often other graphs also built w…

This is false in my experience (more than 10y). Most teams use a linter and a formatter. The situation is worse in any other language, except maybe golang.

I agree with you but this I am not sure it is the right example. In this case, the position of the zergs would be indirectly a component. You would have arrays of struct Zergs, eac…

yes, but that's so minor compared to the gain of a more readable syntax... really an edge case.

I think conflating data structures and objects is bad, and muddle the discussion. An app is mostly a pipeline of functions over an initial data structure.

Such a biased/bad example... This is a private affair, between the wife, the husband and you. It can be a concern for the community but it has nothing to do with the government !!!…

SEEKING WORK - Location: Renaison, France / Remote I am seasoned dev. Over the years, I have built quite a lot of apps from AAA games to small websites. Nowadays, I work mostly web…

I have a sizeable project I have been working on and off for the last 2 years. It might be commercially viable but it won't make a lot of money. A few weeks ago, a big corp approac…

this is a bit disingenuous. the back-end technologies are quite stable and based on not-perfect-but-reasonable semantics. Django/SQLALchemy don't change that much. Front-end on the…

look at elmlang maybe ? it solves a few of these problems, but this is quite different from what we are used to.

you're not familiar with coffeescript and used to the many javascript warts, so your perspective is biased. But Coffeescript makes many things easier and has good tooling (just ano…

It is not forbidden, but it was condemned many times including for talk about concentration camps or jews. For a long time, it was borderline. And It has a very dark history: - Dur…

why ? Could you elaborate ? Because from my point of view, it could be only the case only if the scopes are weak or underused, or names are bad (too short, ect). After SSA is all a…

Maybe because his company (like google, etc) has a history of tax avoidance ? And paying tax is the first thing we do as good citizen. Why believe a company like this ? Or the man …

You have to draw the line somewhere. It is a balance between reasonnable information for the police and privacy. Except when you're linked to an investigation, you don't have to pr…

This is a bit of a strawman argument, F.lux is not in this category of silly apps. F.lux is a reasonable app it has a good track record respecting its users and is requested by man…

Except that for historical reasons, js is a very rushed/badly designed language. More precisely it mixes moment of brillance and very stupid design choices. Ruby, Python, Lua are i…

compare this with python, which has carefully evolved into a better language.
