compiling C/C++ apps on any platform is shit

I’m starting to think the platforms aren’t the problem.

Ashtray Labyrinth in Control

They were marketed as 10/10, came out as 4/10 and improved to 6/10.

Nextcloud’s biggest issue is performance, and PHP, while not a problem per se, doesn’t help. PHP is not designed for huge applications that need to have processes running in the background; it only runs when a request is made then stops the process, therefore it needs to load itself from scratch on every single page load.

This is because PHP uses something called CGI; the webserver (usually nginx or Apache) calls an external PHP binary to generate a page. With Go (or pretty much any other language), the app is its own server and can keep data in memory and do stuff even when no request is coming.

THUG 2 will be a tough challenge to remaster. It has a very early-2000s vibe and heavily features Bam Margera.

Gandi massively increased their prices 2 years ago.

It doesn’t. It prompts you to solve it when first logging in.

I can’t believe an objectively true claim gets downvoted.

Not in languages where you don’t manually handle memory, such as PHP, SQL, Python… Higher-level languages using 0-indexed arrays are letting the abstraction leak.

Steam has the worst launcher, except all the others.

Electricity isn’t a “basic necessity”. Humanity survived for thousands of years without it.

Cloud saves are a basic feature of any modern game. It’s extremely easy to add on Steam without even having to implement it in the game. It’s just configuration, so not having access to the original source code isn’t an issue.

But… the defenders of multi billion dollar corporations told me that I was a crybaby for not wanting to create an account at a company who has had several outages and security incidents over the years. I can’t believe they were wrong.

There is a finite number of integers in this context. For 32-bit it, it’s 4 billion or so (2^32).

It’s a very good game! I remember 100%ing it, lots of fun.

They don’t care about this. The ports of SM64 and Zelda are still up. Nintendo only sues legal emulators of current gen consoles.

Tetris DS is still king after 18 years.

It’s wrong. 1/3 + (1/3 * 1/3) = 3/9 + 1/9 = 4/9. It’s close though.

However, one third plus one half of a third is correct. 1/3 + (1/2 * 1/3) = 1/3 + (1.5/3 * 1/3) = 1/3 + 0.5/3 = 1.5/3 = 1/2

If I lived in the UK, I would also eat anything but British food.

ActivityPub is the protocol powering the Fediverse. Platforms include Lemmy, Mastodon and Pixelfed.

I’m in France. There is a gas station near me with three vending machines : drinks, pizzas, and CBD.

The pizza one is mostly fine. The grid protecting the screen was torn apart. Tbf it was annoying. The drinks one is damaged, and is now protected by a metal cage. The CBD machine is completely destroyed.

All publicly available objects in France end up like this.
