@antigermanist idealic view that can't go wrong
-
my bf just woke me up like 6 times in my sleep and I am so irritated
he appears to be oblivious despite me saying words
however will I recover -
@Lensflare here I figured you'd tell me "you just ASSUMED it was a joke" and would admit the butthurt
what's the point of these conversations? jerk off and get over it or something -
and to think I do no such things and get fired smh
-
@Lensflare it was a joke and you joked back
-
because they're told to write it like that and that that's what you wanna hear
-
@Lensflare if you feel attacked you can just talk about it
-
@D-4got10-01 yeah they just took a photo and I thought it was someone's personal photo. nope front page of the website. grrrr
and while I could contact them and bitch it seems excessive. they should've warned me
in the future I will be dodging out of photos
I was hoping over time they'd redesign their website but that photo is still up there nearly 10 years later... raagghh -
@antigermanist communism is alive and well and not very different from capitalism
only difference is it uses force
communism prints money and funds things that shouldn't be funded. "incentivizes" artificial behaviours it thinks you should be doing and veers further and further into delusion of what is "right"
in capitalism you can leave. in communism leaving is a crime -
@kromsten big corps don't necessarily have access to them
I doubt Bill Gates is allowed secret military tech
in Russia they murder scientists for re-discovering secretly patented technology if they don't stop pursuing it
but similarly, there's a cost to use this tech. once you use it then you have the chance of all your enemies knowing you have it (on the nation state, geopolitical espionage/war plane). so it's best not to use it even if you have it, because then you can keep it hidden for some extraneous circumstances, moments in which it really matters, and people would be less able to react to it
question becomes if the people in charge of these things are this corrupt or stupid to have bothered to use it in this way for this reason
they might very well be evil, but they won't necessarily have access or abilities on their own without cooperation of someone with the tech -
@Lensflare you jump on trying to win too much instead of being a real person
logic is a tool to figure out reality, not to support the reality you want for one reason or another (like bashing another person... which is pretty gross a motivation I think. points to insecurity which you're not facing) -
I had photos taken without my consent and put on the front page so I find photos of real employees to trigger me too... sigh
-
@antigermanist duh UN is evil
so is Bill Gates
they're communists you know. the people who created both of them -
@Lensflare I'm asking proof not saying either way
why would it be silly -
I already see too much leftist propaganda everywhere... sigh. why is everyone woke
-
@donkulator mmmh lion's maaane
-
@Lensflare use logic instead of ad hominem
-
wait wait wait I'm not so convinced bill gates _isnt_ trying to kill us with vaccines and 5g

ur a freelancer?

@12bitfloat think this will introduce problems rather than solve them in my context
had AI choke up a graph example
but for mine then I'd be having slotmaps left and right and it isn't like I can't make unique IDs. I actually have tons of them. sometimes quite nested ones
when I said tree structure I thought we were talking of a metaphorical tree-like sprawl over the whole codebase, of how to organize structs sprawling out into more structs and etc. not just a graph data type
like empire owns rooms which owns services
creeps need to access services and to do that they need to know which room and the service id to be able to go back down the chain to access that struct, which then means it's effectively/metaphorically a 2 key index -
@12bitfloat root of tree would be a slotmap
wait multiple slot maps...
but the context is global -
@12bitfloat but then it all looks like a macro call... you can't skim the code's structures to know what's going on lol
-
@12bitfloat ok I tried something similar but it was one giant global object
globals bad. unless slotmaps
this seems a bit like ecs -
@12bitfloat right, cuz you mentioned macros
not too sure of use cases of macros. soon rust will look like lisp I guess?
but yeah I am being fatalistic and savage. that's kind of how I move in -
@12bitfloat oh whoops I automatically adblock links in my mind and didn't even notice it
-
@12bitfloat screeps easily devolves into ownership problems
yes tree. what if nodes of the tree have to talk to each other? now what? -
@Lensflare r u trying to steal my joke
-
@12bitfloat yeah I can do that
I'm trying when you need rc refcell or other strategy and not making it a mess
maybe I'm thinking too big when rust is for tiny tools or somerhing -
@12bitfloat yeah the solution is a match but uegh matches everywhere with that redundant Ok case line
I'm nitpicking
I must reduce my standards
I'm too used to making javascript look like Haskell
I must suffer more pain until I become better -
@Lensflare brevity means readability to me because I have memory issues
it has less to do with one line variable names and more with extra brackets and newlines. ofc you can write one line variable names in anything so it can't be that that I'm talking of
rust is used for commandline often which is why it's used for command line often
