Oh so it’s just an stm32, that’s cool.

Had to learn Javascript for web development class.

In all seriousness, I found out about Nim from the debug log of a discord bot and decided to give it a shot. It’s now my favorite programming language.

Only good use I’ve ever seen of visual programming is for stuff with minimal control flow, usually stuff that runs in parallel (i.e. shaders and blender’s geometry nodes)

Make it completely untyped. Everything’s just a string.

So every boomer on facebook. Got it.

This has the same vibes as gamestop starting an nft marketplace.

I don’t get why this is specific to millennials.

Multi-core CPUs were still starting out to be fair, but they were definitely at least somewhat mainstream by the time of the 360/ps3. The 360 was tri-core, and was considered easier to develop for since all three of those cores shared resources. Meanwhile, the cell architecture is hard to develop for even by modern standards. As such, most games only made use of the PPE and left the SPE alone.

Gives me hope for a proton drive app. As soon as that’s available and viable I’ll be able to drop my mega subscription.

Fontawesome and its consequences have been a disaster for web development.

I don’t know the whole deal with them, but off the top of my head I know it’s a very far-right social media site that was fairly mainstream for a while. It got a lot of media coverage after getting hacked, so I guess a lot of people ended up blocking it once they heard of it.

I don’t know the full story. They were probably just a bunch of trolls like a lot of the other instances.

It’s the number of instances that have blocked them.

Accounts can’t defederate afaik. There’s a way to block instances on some apps, but it’s client-side and really just hides posts from that instance.

Really basic summary

Federated means that instances are connected, i.e. lemmy.world accounts and posts can interact with sh.itjust.works ones.

Defederated means that one of the instances is blocked by the other, so all communication between the two is blacklisted.

So does that mean they’re gonna be selling the Amico without the intellivision branding?

Their mothers must be very proud.

Oh so they’re just straight up including malware with windows now. Cool.

Linux is about on-par with windows xp/7 as it stands, and it has been for a while. The reason people haven’t switched is OEM and software support.

I don’t get why people hate semantic whitespace. The whitespace would be there anyway, and if anything it’s easier to read as long as you avoid 15 nested if statements, and you’re not using a dynamically typed abomination like python.

S-expressions are a hack because the Lisp devs didn’t know how to make an actual compiler, and instead had the users write the syntax tree for them. (For legal reasons I am being facetious).

In all honesty, I can understand the reason people love s-expressions, but to me they’re just unreadable at a glance.

I’d point you to godot but I’m pretty biased because I just really love godot.

I will say though that depending on the scope of the project you have planned, it might not be best to make your dream project your first one. Test the waters with a few really small games first, and then once you’re comfortable and know your tools well enough do your big idea.

Technically linux users need third party tools to even boot into a usable OS.

I’m a computer engineering major (still a student tbf), I’m well aware of the difference between CISC and RISC, I was making a joke.

Also, I understand your point, but you should know though that a load-store architecture and a RISC instruction set are not the same thing. The vast majority of RISC ISAs are load-store, but not all load-store architectures are RISC.
