  • Why?

  • Is there some FOSS replacement for the bambu soft?

  • Programming games.

    My latest one is probably the last one though, the plan is to just continue developing it and expanding it. It's a Slow-RPG, so there will always be new things to invent and add.

  • There were loads of ram companies in the eighties, so many that when meager times came, half went bankrupt.

    RAM making is a brutal market. It's very different to chip making, it's "just" billions of capacitors.

  • But you can!

    Just buy up used stuff, computers nowadays are very resilient.

    I have a 6 gen intel Linux, works like a charm., and a 8 gen for "gaming n stuff" (windoze), I even got my hands on a recent laptop for 100€...

    No need to buy that latest stuff, IMO.

  • Lots of apartments have thin walls, houses not so much. But yeah we mostly don't buy guns here.

  • Some skeletal muscle cramps do not have a known cause.

    Yeah so they haven't figured it out just yet (except when you lack nutrients etc) 😔.

    I and my 3 brothers are like the "cramp brothers", insanely easy to get stupid cramps. And 2 of us have been world top athletes, so it's not a nutrition problem for us at least.

  • Yeah there were loafs of them!

  • View matrix has the perspective 1/v thing in it IIRC, the world euh, yeah it was a long time ago...

  • What do you mean? For me, a definition is declared once, in its entirety, and that's it.

    Declaring it in several places makes no sense of course (for me at least) just include the header and voilà!

  • You can't escape it, it will always get you.

  • Have they figured out why you get cramps nowadays? I have heard many explanations but none seems to be backed scientifically.

  • Aah!

    Remember direct mode/protected mode? Mode 13? That 64k color buffer, aah memories :-)

  • Worldmatrix, objectmatrix, movematrix, ... !

  • I like c/c++ headers because you can put the "code" in one file, and use the header file in your others where you need access to that code. And you can do that on a compile level. No need to for example compile a c# library that you'll then use.

    In c# (for example) you'll include all the code in another file, when you just need one function. In c++ you include only all the definitions, if that makes sense.

    In c# it quickly becomes a garbled mess IMO.

    Sure, you can make libraries, but make libraries for every file? That's not optimal either.

    So I guess I like it as it lets you split up code on a lower level, very convenient IMO.

  • I see where you are coming from, even if I don't see a direct link between AI and hyper surveillance in your text. Personally I wager people will not only upload their holiday photos to the big corporate but share their most inner feelings with it, volunteerly...

    And, like facebook did, they'll create/generate "shadow persons" descriptors for people who are not using AI, by just using people around them.

    On a side note, art cannot be made by machines, it's intrinsic to the human mind, an expression of it. AI can rehash and redistribute it though, which is only bad for artists doing business (so that's the downside, not excusing it but machines have done that like forever, again not excusing anything).

    If we finally distributed some of the wealth automation generates we could all create art (and machines could even distribute it), but that's dreamland for now of course.

  • I inherited a supposedly finalised "core" handling data, but only booleans were dealt with and I had to code the other ones. It was coded in template metaprogramming (MSVC & gcc 4.8 😨), just thinking about it gives me chills down the spine!

    It's a bit fascinating (and your normal template problems if you have any will vanish and your loved one will return) but it's, IMO, not for large projects 😬. Impossible to debug (not every error is caught compile time after all).

    printf was coded like that (with the variadic template "..."), I don't remember if it was libraries for the old compilers or the new ones... But that's a fun way of checking it out IMO!

  • Why do you think supercharged surveillance capitalism is intrinsic?

  • Header files are a thing of beauty! Languages that can't abstract away definitions suck (or are like script languages, which is fine for scripting).
