The reason why any MS product is or was popular. They use their company power.

@retoor if I'd be perfect, it would be impossible for me to be wrong. So me saying that god doesn’t exist is the truth.
There, your argument is a logical contradiction :)

Nothing and no one is perfect.
And nothing and no one is an "accident" either. We are the product of blind evolution.

There is nothing that is more stupid than the god theory because god is everything that we don't know or don‘t like to be true.

History shows that everything that we can explain with science today, has been explained with a god or many gods before we knew any better.

And things that we don‘t like (like accepting that we are nothing special and just a slightly more intelligent monkey) we are ready to ignore because we find it more comforting that we are special.

Or… you are just a scummy lier.

I’m glad that you are recovering from the greatest delusion that humanity knows.

@lorentz that’s an interesting topic for sure and I also know very little about it. And it’s never a bad idea to question if something could be different and maybe better.

The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world. Wake up, kiki. Wake up and smell the ashes.

@lorentz ok maybe I‘m wrong. The size of the address would be log2(size of memory)

@lorentz sure but isn‘t it practically impossible to have addressing down to single bits? The size of a single address would be enormous. I think it would in fact be the size of the whole memory that you are using the addresses in.
You would need a 1GB large address to point to a single bit on a 1GB RAM memory.

@kiki Spanky, the true god condemns the things on your list. They are all cardinal sins.

@lorentz can you elaborate on the bit alignment part?

The only way to stop hating anything that has JS in it is to hit your head with a hammer until you start to feel dumb enough.

Images working again for barely half of a nanosecond and we already have shitty memes reposted for the bazillionth time.

Oh, wow, a nice surprise.

I agree that objc was a horrible abomination.

It’s like the worst of C and Java combined and a syntax that is not only ugly but also annoying.

@xcodesucks you come into this discussion with that preconception that "if" HAS to be about true/false, because you are used to it in programming.
But "if" has a more general meaning in the natural language, where it is coming from.

"if this is true" is as valid and meaningful as "if this has a value".

Plus, it’s not JUST "if", but "if let".

It combines a keyword that is used for conditions and for declaring a constant and no one that I know has a problem with that, except for you.

For me, high intelligence is very hot.
Low intelligence is not as bad, as long as the person is not dumb as shit but thinks that she is a genius. Nothing is more of a turn off.
Dumb as shit alone is ok.

@blindXfish also also, "responsible for keeping it alive" is not the correct way of thinking about it.
The companies only need to make it possible for the customers to keep the games alive on their own.
So, if it requires a server, either patch out the requirement or hand over the server so that we can host it ourselves (or just run it locally for single player)

@blindXfish also keep in mind that it won’t be retroactive. It will apply to new games made in the future.

@blindXfish the initiative is just a way to force the people (politicians?) to look at this issue so that it leads to laws being made to solve the problems.
The details will be in the specific laws.

What drugs are you on and can I have some?

Mostly the sound of silence.
Sometimes synthwave.
Vocals distract me as well.

@retoor me too. And it scares me a little bit, tbh. ^^

I worked with a team who had FE and BE in the same mono repo. Not a fan.
But yeah, fetching and pulling before pushing should be your second nature, as a dev.

I don‘t know about DVD but the bluray stuff is Java crap

Pics of the winners?

ostream is like a hydra, he deletes himself but then clones himself into 2 instances.

@SidTheITGuy I knew it was you, but I admit, it was only because of your comment in my last rant :)

@kiki protection money :)

What were you so exited about when you were 8?

You are the most brainwashed person that I know about, so you tell me!
