Honestly that’s okay. That’s how most of the games industry works and you know what? I sleep very well knowing that none of my coffee is actively hurting people. I do likely have some coffee in some defense simulator from my work on squad but so be it. Overall I make toys. Works of art and as long as the bugs are caught it really doesn’t matter when we long as it’s before release. Even then you can just work at Bethesda and just never fix them no matter what.
- Comment on When someone corrects your code 1 year ago:
Depends on how you talk and what you define as normal. How much C++ is still using C++98 and how much uses C++20? It’s pretty silly of a comparison. As someone else put it, corrections are also there for a third party.
But let’s get down to the issue. You are right, correction of English is used as an insult a lot of the time. Sometimes correction of code is also used as an insult. When correcting someone is used out of line and abused, it’s always a bad thing. Correcting someone should never be used to insult.
If you don’t mind, let’s go down a rabbit hole, if you don’t care to join feel free to stop reading here. The upshot is that you are correct because the intent behind correcting English is usually abusive.
So, I corrected you earlier but this is to create a conversation. This is something I’ve been noticing a lot in social media overall: corrections seem to create conversation where if you agree with someone it’s not typically a conversation. “Yeah, you are right…” isn’t a path to an interesting exchange of ideas. There is another way that I’d also love to encourage people to try. Asking questions and digging into why. I’ve seen this happen a few times and it feels like it’s taken more as an insult. A lot of people get defensive if you ask “Why is this something you think.” We’ve created an internet culture of correction, where correction makes conversation. I wonder if this stems from people on the internet correcting people as an insult. Anyways, thank you for reading this random tangent :D

English changes very quickly. New words come out every year. Some programming languages takes years for updates.

Haha, I don’t know enough about that fan theory to say I believe it or not but I will say no matter what, humans still stopped the Borg cube. Otherwise Earth would have gotten assimilated.

You say that like the federation doesn’t win every single time.
- Comment on Microsoft Edge could use a win 1 year ago:
In 2016 you had 2 or 3 AAA games releasing Linux native versions. Now you are lucky if you get a working proton version. Linux has moved backwards. Honestly I think people tried it and hit a lot of problems with it then left. 2016 was the year of the Linux desktop but it failed to capture the market.
One of the biggest problems with Linux is simply additional hard drives. If you fill up your / drive you are basically screwed of you don’t know how to use the command line. Even the easiest Linux distros suffer from this problem. With windows I just reinstall programs to a different drive. With Linux you have to learn about symlinks, create then in the right spot and even then it doesn’t help unless you have a bigger drive. Alternatively you can learn about lvm and combine your drives in to one large monolith but this is even far more work for what’s it’s in Linux literally at worst a 10 minute fix and 0 second if you just install stuff to the right drives.

What did they do that you didn’t like?
- Comment on D or d come on 1 year ago:
As someone said you solution is to symlink or setup LVM volume groups for different mount points. Essentially, it’s all or nothing. You can’t just put a single program on a different disk without then taking all those files and manually symlinking them to the right place. It’s honestly one of the biggest Linux oversights.
- Comment on D or d come on 1 year ago:
Why does Linux do anything it does? Because a bunch of shortsighted nerds think it’s a good idea. For example, try to install software on another disk.
- Comment on D or d come on 1 year ago:
I have a third one for you. Not being able to pick where things install. Everything installs to the os disk. Terrible idea.
- Comment on D or d come on 1 year ago:
All folders and files should be in lower case.

Even then that can contain bugs on large amounts.
- Comment on I love all my statements equally. (I don't care for GOTO) 1 year ago:
I mean, you aren’t wrong in your joke. Godot’s pattern is slightly but not much better. Unreal is far more structured and realistic but still lacking in a lot of ways.
- Comment on I love all my statements equally. (I don't care for GOTO) 1 year ago:
Godot follows the same pattern though… oh no.
- Comment on Would you agree? 1 year ago:
One of the things that is a must for me is 1 panel that shows the windows and apps per monitor. I can’t work any other way, I’m not looking to drastically change my workflow more so than Linux alone already is. My quick Google search said that it wasn’t possible on Gnome 44 and I gave up.
That said, KDE is laggy and unresponsive. It’s also fairly unusable. Everything else besides those 2 is like going back 20 years to desktop environments of the olden days. I just want something modern that works with my workflow.
- Comment on Would you agree? 1 year ago:
I recently tried pop os but gnome did not seem reasonable for me on multiple monitors.
- Comment on Golang be like 1 year ago:
Or a linter. Or code reviews. Or anything else. The nice thing is that if the compiler doesn’t demand something. The compiler should have the option to do it. The option could even be defaulted on. Afaik there is no way in Golang to disable that error (this is the line that does it: github.com/golang/go/blob/…/stmt.go#L67-L69). like --no-pedantics or such. Golang’s compiler openly refuses to give engineers more choices in what they think is the best system to handle it.
- Comment on Golang be like 1 year ago:
A quick “find all references” will point out it’s not used and can be deleted if it accidentally gets checked in but ideally, you have systems in place to not let it get checked into the main branch in the first place.

You can see the break in the while true, the red switch on the extender.
