JS is rightly criticized as a language, for lending itself to… less than ideal practices. Which is largely a result of it NOT being designed as a programming language. It was designed as a dead-simple scripting language for getting the most minimal of bells-and-whistles kinda things in the browser. So, it’s worth noting that you might have to un-learn some bad habits someday, as you progress to other languages, or even just higher-level stuff in JS.

However, it’s still an excellent choice as a starter language, on account of how dead-simple it was designed to be. And how dead-simple it is to start DOING things with it. And how is possibly the most-used language there is, ubiquitous in web development. And how MASSIVE the community around it is, and how many learning resources there are.

So yeah, go for it. GL;HF.

Seems like they’re universally calling this out as the expected outcome of slop. Unless you’re talking about all the ones that’re now deleted?

It’s an interesting idea, but I can’t help feeling that the “Aesthetic City” thing is undercutting itself with that one picture. Far more important than the building itself, for me, is how well it looks with the adjacent building, where the right-hand option is the clear winner. Makes me wonder if that’s a pattern throughout the whole project.

I actually read it as the same person, like IMMEDIATELY going and trying on some clothes, and figuring things out. Didn’t even notice the hair and the boobs until reading this, and looking again.

What he said in the image.

But is the Ron Perlman response true? Cause goddamn, I apparently didn’t have enough respect for him already.

Yup.

Krafton lost. They’ve been ordered to restore at least one of the three leads of the project to his prior position, and give him full control over the project. The latest marketing material for the game has had Krafton labeling removed.

At this point, the only thing you’re doing for Krafton by buying Subnautica 2 is guaranteeing they have to pay out the $250 million bonus that they were trying to avoid in the first place.

Yup, I’ve taken to doing this exact same thing in TS/JS. That is, defining functions to take an options object instead of multiple parameters.

It’d be much nicer if TS/JS could support named parameter binding, like many other lanaguages, cause that’s what I do as a nearly universal rule, in every language that supports it.

No, having an IDE inject paramter names in the editor is not a solution. Not only does it always look like shit, because none of them have any concept of formatting for readability, it also means the code then becomes unreadable outside of an IDE (and user configuration) with that feature.

I know there’s no good billionaires, but goddamn Pritzker does a lot of shit right.

“Solves” or “annoys customers to the point that they give up and cease being a future customer”?

To be clear, he’s not saying “just code better”, as the title implies. It’s a really poor choice of title.

you are going to mess up somewhere and get leaks, stray pointers, etc. This is true independently of how conscientious you are with your allocations:

He goes on to say, effectively, “Don’t use new/delete/malloc/free if you can help it. Use smarter mechanisms.”

And the consequences will be…?

What a fuckin’ tool.

You’re probably not seeing them all in order, if you’re only seeing them here. And obviously, you’re not getting all the story context.

But yeah, the comic itself is a little bit fever dreamy. It’s not unusual for a strip to only fully make sense a few strips later. Particularly for big action moments.

Highly recommend starting it from scratch, if you’re curiou Even though it does start out a little, uhh… “kiddie” maybe.

I wish it had taken better lessons about combat from Dark Souls, but otherwise a fantastic game.

They’re not intending to prove anything. The goal is to put the burden of risk on websites, to force them to just block VPNs completely. Even if it’s unlikely that a VPN user will get unmasked as being underage, the risk of being liable if it does happen will (in theory) be too great for them to ignore.

I do not like that man, Ted Cruz. I do not like his political views. He does not care about free speech. He only cares about being a leech. He supported Trump’s rise to the hill, and despite what he says, he supports it, still. He’s part of the problem, that man, Ted Cruz, him, and all of his political views.

this is no different than one of our chip designers who says, guess what, I’m just going to use paper and pencil, I don’t think I’m going to need any CAD tools.

Lol, dude thinks chip designers don’t use pen and paper, whenever possible?

And if you hire engineers that only know how to use AI (or make all your engineers use it), then the AI companies own you.
