    And what would that do, exactly? The government wouldn't care. In fact, they would probably be better off for it because everyone would simply switch to Chrome and there's one less…

    Interestingly, the labeling colon is written with spaces on both sides in French.

    I find myself feeling some of the same things you describe. I don't really relate with the synth/formulaic music part, to me that's just another interesting form of human expressio…

    I think Zambyte just wanted to let the GP know that the code for the original had already been released before this one. No need to be mean.

    I've lived in both eastern and western Europe and it's used a lot almost everywhere. As far as I can tell, the more Russian-influenced countries tend to use other services. It's st…

    I do understand the sentiment. I personally see value in human creation but I sort of get why others wouldn't. I'm somewhat shocked by this overwhelmingly positive reaction to AI r…

    Even worse is implying that we should replace all creative processes with AI. I honestly don't understand what world you'd like to live in. One where humans do almost nothing inter…

    Yeah, makes a lot of sense. Hadn't even thought about the difference between age and year when I wrote that. Thanks.

    I can't tell if you're joking, but negative numbers are used to represent years BC.

    Yeah sorry I apparently can't read, it was pretty obvious. Thanks.

    I do it with books, too. If I'm not 100% interested in what I'm reading there's a very good chance I'll doze off into an elaborate daydream. I also emphasize with the "louder" thin…

    It's actually not. There's simply a 'use Option::{None, Some}' built-in to make them easier to work with.

    I don't know C#, but I'll take a guess: I think it's exactly the same issue as null in Lisp and Lua — you sometimes want to differentiate between null as in "I returned no value", …

    You're not, mine is only 10 lines and no plugins.

    For anyone interested in this, Devine also has a personal wiki at https://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/home.html There's so much cool stuff in there.

    Besides what the others said, they're also good conversation starters.

    Close to nobody works on forth compilers nowadays, and the compilers that are optimising or even fast is very small. People say that forth isn't very optimisable for our register m…

    Zig has async and await and is safe from buffer overflows and related memory issues. What it indeed doesn't solve is memory safety with time (so use after free and leaks), though t…

    The point is that the content density is abysmal and you can't change that with C-+.

    I just realized I swapped the two but it's too late. The bounds checks obviously stay in ReleaseSafe, not ReleaseFast.

    Comment #36574720

    Zig has bounds checking built-in. You can decide to remove it if you compile for ReleaseSafe instead of ReleaseFast, but it's always in debug builds.

    Even if you accept that idea, 18 is a bit much. A 14 year old for example can meaningfully consent to being an actor in a movie I think.

    They were also hosting the release doom wad files for multiple versions last time I checked.

    I've always been confused by that too, how does a camera being there change anything? Objectively, selling yourself and being filmed sounds strictly worse from the no prostitution …

    Isn't it like that everywhere? It's been this way everywhere I've ever lived.
