Degree holders have to study and overcome things they might not like. Self learners will often skip the shit they don't like (hence why we have so many web developers and less software engineers)
I still don't believe in degrees or university degrees for some fields, but I can see why people with degrees (i.e meself lol) command a higher salary in some parts. I also do not believe someone with a computer science degree might necessarily know more than a self learner......but self learners nowadays are for the most part just web developers. -
@tosensei makes sense, a German would be able to spot shit overpriced italian garbage like that.
Have a good day sir -
I find it cringe too, but take it as a way to bring knowledge to the world that they are actively using the technology(language in this case) to build things.
I mean, rust ain't taking C or C++ from me anytime soon for what I use them, but I can appreciate their effort. -
@Demolishun see, this is why we are friends. I always imagined C++ to have steampunky logo vibes.
pp virtual high five! -
@kiki technically speaking, punto means dot. But I am guessing that the spaniards use the word as well to signify that.
We have a shitload of different meanings for words in spanish. -
@AlgoRythm if he were to put some shit like this in my codebase I would buy the man a beer.
He has seen enough, the void called to him and he is trying to make others listen. -
Javascript is one of the most cursed languages out there.
And I am here for it -
I am not giving up on this though, it is a fun experiment even if it is a bad idea.
I am just overwhelmed with the amount of work needed. Still, I would much rather play with this as a purely academic endeavor over doing web based projects on my own anymore, those were boooooooring. Game dev is much more fun, artistic -
Generating models in a programmatic way is painful man, extremely painful.
Character modeling for people like me(0 design skills) as a whole is difficult, I toyed with the idea of generating basic shapes within webgl (using it with Js is dead simple) and attempting to automate the process of the shapes going into a fixed skelleton by using simple xyz positioning on a template grid, it was sort of working, but then I needed to find a way in which I could add different textures for skin, and subsequently body features and then finally clothing. It was fun, but even if I fully succeeded I still needed to find a way to port that into the type of settings that an engine that is already established would take (such as Godot or Unity, the two in which I have the most "experience")
Could not even figure out where to go, the shaper I was developing already had shitty math and code in it, making a custom engine was the only solution -
@cuddlyogre good resource bud! I will look into it, I am terrible at designing anything
-
nah, let the man cook, op is not wrong.
Progressive enhancement makes sense in that regard. You use JavaScript for the things that make sense to use it, not just dump an entire stack of it for no other reason than to be trendy.
Consider this, each tab runs essentially on its own instance of everything, including the JS interpreter, if you have a massive Javascript based app on each tab you will end up with using 5gbs of ram just on a fkn browser. Sandboxing is great, and it makes sense all the way from dev to a security point of view, but geeeeeeezus man, that is a full ass JS interpreter working on each tab for massive shit that didn't need to be massive to begin with.
Oh, and this is coming from someone that loves JS -
@thebiochemic Neovim is fantastic, your trajectory will be really similar, I was on Codium before I moved to Vim (and in some machines Neovim now that you mention it) pretty much full time.
The editing in vscode and codium is really not bad, but how bloated it is is what gets me man, wish it could be better, but as long as elektron powers them thangs I will have to stick to the vimness of it. -
we are in this strange place in which an editor that automagically(it ain't magic, we all know why) opens up already using 300+mb of memory off the bat is somehow the standard.
I have medium sized to very large projects, that thing is useless to me. If i need to use a text editor I will use my overlyconfigurated Vim editor. -
i take programmer language hate with a grain of salt. It is certainly useful to understand the pitfalls or the quirky behavior of certain languages, but hate and dislike or making it a personality trait seems extremely weird to me.
I think so far the only language that I have used professionally that I actually dislike is VBA, but even with me not liking it I recognize that it has certain merits, not many, but it has some. -
@Demolishun I had not considered that, you are right. I stand corrected u___u
-
@Demolishun I would normally agree, but seeing the general way in which parents act in the U.S I would say: yes we do. Bunch of idiots everywhere mane
-
My condolences bud
-
pffft noobs, I can generate piece of shit software faster than that. Matter of fact: I do it daily 😎
-
Control reference +1

@Demolishun oh fr is it a Bjarne book?
-
I agree with all points given here and I personally don't have any hate against any of the 3 languages mentioned thus far (even tho C++ is life) but i am gonna troll hard af so when Rust developers look down on my modern c++ code (which I get to write because I don't maintain legacy c++ sh) I usually tell them that their preference for Rust over c++ is a skill issue.
Before any autistic neckbeard comes at me: I love Rust
And I kinda got the feeling that Bjarne said something within the same realm -
@atheist yeah I know, but I wish they would have taken a more Bethesda approach to the emulators "Oh shit fam, y'all got what we need, and it is good, wanna join the famgang?"
instead of "ahh you have dishonored us by making software better than ours! ahhh shitake mushroom attack!!!"
These strange....hermetic ways in which the Japanese companies approach software and tech as a whole is very retarded. -
What are you guys moving towards?
-
@donkulator don't threaten me with a good time fam
-
@donkulator I love it so much that i would if I could <3
-
@Root Ruby masterace, you beat me to it
-
@tosensei you would think so, but no, Nintendo has shown anything but common sense when it comes to emulators.
The fact that they bitch over revenue loss on things that are EOL still baffles me.
Emulation tech is pretty interesting, and not just any kind of developer can partake on it, instead of using them to build up on their shit cut-of-from-the-world crappy software they would much rather burn everything surrounding them. -
I usually say that I like the cold, but that be too cold. Coldest I had ever dealt with was -16 C.
Around Texas, during the summer in some places we get around 45C.
Being exposed to fkn cold and fkn hot, I kinda do find fkn cold more comfortable, but -40 is (as you said) fkn cruel.
And your grandpa sucks -
@netikras omg I know right????
*starts pinching own nipples furiously** -
@Lensflare I would say that one in particular is because of the pool of developers that use it, even though as a language I love Kotlin, I can see why the main JVM language would be the choice.
And just as you, I too want to know why the OP is so pressed about the list
