  Excuse the reddit link but this is a fantastic comment I had bookmarked that answers your question, at least in regards to learning C.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lentils; Which, why in what?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Red split lentils all the way! They’re great for soup that thickens itself. Great in stews or curries to thicken it a bit. There’s no danger of them having a bad texture like can happen with other lentils and they cook much quicker.

  Thankfully I know a fit girl who’s really into game preservation and probably wouldn’t mind lending me a copy if I want to play it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit CEO Steve Huffman says that while there are legit types of AI content on the platform, the company is considering Face ID and other passkey verification methods to ensure there's human behind⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I assume the why of this is because they need to prove to advertisers that the clicks come from real humans. That’s possibly also the motivation for Meta lobbying for age verification.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EverQuest Legends is the 1999 MMO you know and love born again with more respect for your time⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Aye, I learned this the hard way after about 30k hours in various MMOs (but mostly WoW).

  I’m 3 years clean now though!

  MMO

  respect for your time

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Today’s layoffs (Epic Games official post)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  “We’re so sorry to have to lay you off”

  wipes tears with fortnite billions

  I loved this part of it… “This isn’t our first time being here. Epic survived upheavals in 1990’s with the move from 2D to 3D with Unreal 1; in the 2000’s building console games with Gears of War; and in 2012 moving to online gaming with Paragon and Fortnite. Each time, we rebuilt our foundations and earned a renewed leadership position.”

  TLDR “Epic will survive, but your job won’t. So sad.”

  Which part of the code?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenTTD devs clarify store changes with Transport Tycoon Deluxe re-release as Atari contribute server funding⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  TLDR is they got in bed with Atari to the detriment of their users because Atari gave them money. But they’re still grateful for user donations lol.

  They then tried to justify it by saying they owe everything to TTD and Chris Sawyer hoping that nobody will notice neither Chris Sawyer or anyone who developed TTD works for Atari (Atari in fact bought the rights from Chris Sawyer). Atari itself is of course just a hollow brand name that’s been passed around corporate entities to empty customer wallets based on nostalgia for over 25 years now.

  I’d love to see one captured then injected with expanding foam aka the speed camera treatment.

  If you want to use the graphics, sound and music from the original TTD in OpenTTD when you’ll need it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Fiber will be sold to private equity firm and merge with cable company⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Makes sense. Being an ISP doesn’t really fit with being an advertising company masquerading as a tech company.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Transport Tycoon Deluxe returns from Atari - now a requirement for OpenTTD via Steam and GOG⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It sure would be a shame if people got OpenTTD from their website then pirated TTD.

  I would never do anything like that though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Many more US states are planning or already have operating system age verification laws⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s easier for them to impose their will on a small amount of people (OS devs) who will in turn impose that will on everyone else thus tightening their control.

  In short, hierarchy.

  I think you misunderstood my comment.

  I’m suggesting to do away with the whole system that enables and encourages crimes like wage theft rather than focusing on individual symptoms of the system.
