Ok so why are you still here?

I’m writing a game engine in Zig and after tens of thousands of lines written, I have to say my mind has totally melded to the language. It really hits a sweet spot for me between …

I can guarantee you that the overwhelming majority of low-income people who are delinquent on their rent have no clue who Cea Weaver is. Nor is there any kind of organized rent str…

What do you think Israel’s objective is then? It seems rather clear to me that they have expansionist ambitions which necessitate defeating their neighboring foes, who are backed b…

I think an honest assessment of the history reveals that the Islamic Republic has been far more hostile to Israel and far stabler than the Shah, who oversaw a deeply unpopular mona…

Who do you think the previous regime was? The Shah was installed by the US and was friendly to Israel. Under the Islamic Republic, Iran has been hostile to Israel and funded proxy …

Sure, Israel played a hand here, but it’s hard to believe they’re getting exactly what they wanted out of all of this either. Regime change does not seem like it’s coming any time …

Curious what design changes you're referring to specifically. I've been using the language for a couple years now and the language itself has undergone pretty minor changes, perhap…

Social pressure from one's peers is not the only form of pressure. I don't think I'm the one who can credibly be accused of not reading the entire comment or not thinking for longe…

“Revealed preferences” are not the same as actual preferences. Treating them the same is what led us to the current situation we have with everyone addicted to social media and mis…

> It's a persistent topic of human interest, across cultures and decades. Yes, and how did this originally become a topic of interest?

I will take you at your word that you genuinely want a politics free of racial discrimination, but all of the points you’re trying to make here are being immediately disproven by t…

A big difference between cost and price is often won at the expense of many years of concerted R&D, though

I've been waiting eagerly for this release ever since the new Io interface was announced. Pumped to start working on some new projects with this! Love this line from the release no…

(a) The Biden/Harris administration was not one that I would consider Progressive, and I really have no interest in defending them broadly speaking (b) I am quite aware of the acti…

Do you think the American Revolution was justified?

Structural violence is the term most commonly used for this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_violence

It's a completely defensible statement and I believe it fully.

The current administration’s curtailments of free speech go far above and beyond anything progressives would ever propose to do.

Having spent some time with the Zig build system, I genuinely expect this development will make things less fragile than they were with the CMake build.

Speaking not just of this administration/war but also of past ones

The war is certainly illegal. Our systems are just so atrophied at this point that we treat congressional approval as a formality. This is a choice we make over and over again that…

Starting illegal wars and engaging in extreme corruption, for starters.

I would begin by questioning the premise. Do you have actual numbers on this? I’m not really aware of any widely adopted software that’s written in Odin. Can name multiple in the c…

A pretty obvious explanation as to why Odin has more games written in it is that the language is somewhat explicitly marketed towards that use-case, even going as far to have a ven…
