41,803,807 | comment | kibwen | 2024-10-10T21:33:13 | null | One of the Crawl design philosophies is that it should be possible to play without needing to consult a wiki. E.g. inspecting a monster shows you its spells and their damage ranges, there's a searchable in-game encyclopedia of all items/spells/monsters/etc., there's an extensive in-game manual with things like species skill aptitudes, examining an item tells you exactly what skill level you need to use it optimally, and so on. There's plenty of useful stuff on the wiki, but it's not a priority to update because it's not entirely necessary. | null | null | 41,800,878 | 41,797,719 | null | null | null | null |

I'm not necessarily saying web browsers should have defaults as opinionated as simple.css, but the default page margins, padding, text styles, headings, etc that they picked aren't particularly attractive.<p>Opinionated web developers will override the defaults no matter what they are, but if the convention was to have more attractive defaults I wonder if that would have resulted in a larger share of personal websites and blogs created using plain HTML. | null | null | 41,803,215 | 41,801,334 | null | null | null | null |

It has no intrinsic return, it only makes you money if someone buys it from you at a higher price than you paid for it. It’s still barely used as money.<p>Any actual utility imagined for cryptocurrency has yet to materialize in any significant quantity despite nearly a decade of tech bros telling me it’s coming any day. I’d bet less than 0.1% of good and services are actually bought with it. (Optimistic estimates are 0.2%). So it’s clearly not primarily used as currency. You can’t eat it and it doesn’t pay a dividend.<p>It’s just people pumping and dumping and other people hoping to time their purchases and sales along with the pump and dumpers. | null | null | 41,802,823 | 41,802,823 | null | [

41,803,834 | comment | bccdee | 2024-10-10T21:37:27 | null | I'm not arguing that Go wasn't well-made. But "having good tooling early on" isn't a new paradigm. Neither is message-based concurrency.<p>The new paradigm Rust introduced was compiler-enforced memory and concurrency safety in a non-GC language. I'm not saying nobody had thought about these things before, but as you said, C++ can't enforce any of it. Rust can.<p>When Python hit the market, it was competing with C++ for web dev, and the difference there is massive, because Python is <i>dramatically</i> simpler and more expressive. Java was fast, cross-platform and GC'd, and that also makes a massive difference as compared to C++. When you compare Rust with C++, Rust entirely eliminates dangerous categories of errors without the cost of a GC, and that's a big deal too.<p>Conversely, if you want to discuss Go vs C#, you can have a long talk about expressiveness and simplicity and it'll ultimately be mostly subjective unless you have a specific use case in mind. I like Go because it's less invested in object orientation than C# is, but Go isn't doing something transformatively new. It's just kinda nicer in some ways.<p>If Rust didn't guarantee memory safety, it would never have gotten into the Linux kernel. It'd fall into the same category as Go, Swift, D, Clojure, Nim, Zig, and every other programming language with good ideas but no killer value proposition. If Go didn't have Google's backing, it would never have seen mass adoption, because language choice is conservative. Picking something new is risky, and unless it has a big benefit or a big backer, people are going to avoid it where possible. | null | null | 41,788,720 | 41,766,293 | null | null | null | null |

It does not say anything about it <i>not</i> potentially remaining the same quality or taste <i>after</i> this date, and definitely not that it is dangerous to consume after. It may for example simply lose some of its taste over time, but up until that date it is "guaranteed" to taste the same ("the best").<p>Products that should not be consumed after a certain date (like meat) use "Zu verbrauchen bis" (use before); that is not a MHD. | null | null | 41,802,088 | 41,765,006 | null | null | null | null |

41,803,838 | comment | atomic128 | 2024-10-10T21:37:47 | null | I have not looked at Go's iterator range loop implementation yet. So somebody tell me if I'm wrong here.<p>My guess is that Go is probably wrapping the body of the range loop into a closure, and passing that closure into the iterator function as the yield function. A break in the body of the loop becomes a "return false" in the closure.<p>The allocation is probably the closure environment struct (giving access to variables prior to the range loop).<p>This closure might escape through the iterator function so Go can't just put the environment struct onto the stack, it has to escape to the heap.<p>The cost is small but it's not free. Usually, not having to think about the allocation is an advantage. In the rare case can't afford the iterator, do it differently.<p>Go is great. | null | null | 41,801,496 | 41,769,275 | null | null | null | null |

It 'universally' impedes the growth of other plants, and arguably makes terrain less traversal (if only because it covers what's underneath). | null | null | 41,803,718 | 41,780,229 | null | null | null | null |

41,803,871 | comment | readthenotes1 | 2024-10-10T21:41:54 | null | I only have three objections to the gendered pronoun in English.<p>1. It is often unnecessarily overly precise. The number of times I care about the sex/gender of the pronouned individual is much more rare than when I do.<p>2a. Using the masculine as the default leads to confusion at times or outright error. Is the equivalent of using zero as a default value for all integers when you don't know have the actual value.<p>2b. Using the plural they/them as the default for the ungender pronoun also leads to confusion and sometimes outright error. Although it follows a historical precedent of "you" becoming both singular and plural, I would point out that that's also why we have invented "y'all", to disambiguate, and it seems it would be clearer to have a singular ungendered pronoun.<p>3. The fad of the bespoke pronouns is basically just attention seeking toddlerism and socially destructive. Catering to that zeitgeist does nothing to reduce neuroticism that drives it.<p>We got rid of gendered nouns in English a long time ago. It is time for us to have at least an option for ungendered pronouns. | null | null | 41,717,213 | 41,674,900 | null | null | null | null |

A gamble that can only pay off if you were to <i>win</i> the startup lottery.<p>The same issue in New Zealand. Anyone with a professional job invests $100k/year in lost wages founding their high risk venture. Lose taxes if you win. Lose 100% of your time if you lose. Hardly economically worth being a founder given expected return is so poor (worse than the standard figure of 90% businesses fail after 5 years). We don't have a capital gains tax yet in NZ but CGT means nobody sensible should found a startup by "investing" their time. | null | null | 41,799,490 | 41,799,016 | null | null | null | null |

It's one of the worst choices, especially for a self-learner and a beginner like you. Consider: choosing another language could, on its own, 100% eliminate any possibility of getting a segfault!
