    I'm not telling not to paint, I'm telling him that in all likelihood he won't paint because his motivations aren't good enough. I'm not trying to discourage him, I'm trying to enco…

    You won't do it. You're too lazy and there is no immediate motivation for doing something like that.

    NIH syndrome. Vain attempt at improving code quality. Very unlikely this person is a much better programmer than Bram. It's written in C, likely won't end up much better then vim. …

    Lots of figureheads in tech wear suits in marketing materials. Even still, my criticism isn't specifically or especially the suit. That's just a superficial component of the deeper…

    Some feedback: 1. You really need to remove that picture of Eich. It's just bad. We get it, he's a visionary who wears suits. Please don't downvote me, it's legitimate criticism. I…

    You've never been to China, you have no idea what you're talking about. Go to China and you'll see it's like America x9000.

    You have no idea what you're talking about. You're wrong, MyHDL is a proper hardware DSL in Python. You've never used it and you have no idea what you're talking about

    Chisel doesn't help. It just converts to verilog. The verilog is then converted by a closed source program to a closed file format that is then uploaded by a closed sourced program…

    Compiler will not warn this: MovableObject a, b, c; b = std::move(a); c = std::move(a); `c` may contain garbage. BTW the "move trait" (as its called in rust) is a related but ortho…

    Also C++ is generally as fast as C. If anything, it's faster thanks to increased opportunities for inlining. Whoever says C++ is slower than C is misinformed and/or overgeneralizin…

    I'm glad you're aware of Carmack's association with the fast inverse square root (hopefully you also know that it doesn't originate from him) but the joke here isn't the denigratio…
