And the fact that you were getting downvoted for this rational take concerns me even more. Scary times ahead indeed.

> It can be accessed from behind VPNs without any issues, so effectively it doesn't matter that it's not e2e encrypted. How do these two things correlate? I thought the benefit of …

I’m all for using C for native development (and because I find it fun to work in occasionally), but I agree with your sentiment here. Not only do you have to manage memory manually…

Who’s talking about exterminating people?

16 x 7 = 112 days, I’m not sure I understand your comment? Even if it was business days only, 5 x 16 = 80 which is still above the minimum needed.

As someone that got rear ended on my way home from work and had my car totaled a few months ago, I disagree haha

Yep. The company that my 401K is managed through began sending me these stupid emails about “Tips to manage your wealth”, and it was marked as an email that could not be unsubscrib…

I didn’t dismiss the point. My next sentence that you left out of that quote addresses it ;) I also learn concepts bottom up, but thank God everyone isn’t like me. I’m just glad pr…

I saw another commenter explain that it’s passed by reference, but I agree with you. The C++ Core Guidelines even mention that it’s better to use raw pointers (or pass by value and…

I really don’t understand what you’re saying here. Letters have existed for literally thousands of years at this point and people were able to communicate effectively through that.…

The fact that it’s a game that was developed by people that were self-proclaimed “non-coders”[0] using a plug n’ play game engine Stencyl (a no code engine) and then later switchin…

That’s completely besides the point. I agree that working on an engine can be very fulfilling and round you out as a developer. But it’s not easy and I wouldn’t recommend that some…

You seem to be very intent on insisting that anyone can make a game engine (which I mostly agree with). But, it’s not easy, even when you use a pre-existing framework like Raylib. …

I actually started with the Stormlight Archives :D He is a great author. I originally read The Wheel of Time, and the last few books in that series were cowritten by Sanderson. The…

I’m reading the mistborn books right now. I was up until 2 in the morning finishing the first book in the trilogy the other night. These books are fantastic!

I’m sorry, what? The best computer scientists I know, Djikstra, Tony Hoare, Turing, Knuth, and more, all developed practical algorithms and concepts that are still used today! Like…

I live a 15 minute drive from my city, but it took me an hour and a half to get home in rush hour a couple weeks ago. I guess it’s my fault though for being stupid and not paying e…

A more optimistic reading of that sentence is that OP respects the accomplishments the engineers were able to make, but they aren’t impressed. I tend to agree with your sentiment, …
