Oh, and GBA rom is included with game files.

I believe for many companies, developers work on giant codebases with many hundred thousands or even millions of lines of code.

With such large codebase you have no control over any system. Because control is split between groups of devs.

If you want to refactor a single subsystem it would take coordination of all groups working on that part and will halt development, probably for months. But first you have to convince all the management people, that refactor is needed, that on itself could take eternity.

So instead you patch it on your end and call it a day.

Meanwhile Nim:

echo "I am still worthy"

let a = r"I hate the ugly '\' at the end of " &
         "multiline statements"

for x in 0..9:
  if x == 6: echo x

echo x # this is error in Nim, but not in python. Insane!

assert false + 1 # this is an error (python devs in shambles)
assert true - 1 # see above

Thanks for coming to my Ted-talk.

To be fair, it’s also missing open_dialog_file, dialog_open_file and most crucially file_open_dialog

Well, then you have to find another name for that kind of software and define it that way. I certainly would support such an effort, i.e. to make software available to everyone at no cost.

There’s no need to come up with new terms or change the existing ones. Free software is inherently free in price. And you can’t enforce paying for software without the restrictions put in place (e.g. drm). Here’s a quote from https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.en.html :

With free software, users don’t have to pay the distribution fee in order to use the software. They can copy the program from a friend who has a copy, or with the help of a friend who has network access. Or several users can join together, split the price of one CD-ROM, then each in turn can install the software. A high CD-ROM price is not a major obstacle when the software is free.

Free software can have a price, but paying it is optional.

I meant that free software is inherently can’t have a price. Even if you provide source code only to your users, they are free to share that source code for free.

Thus there can’t be piracy because piracy of free software is inherently allowed.

And if you try to prevent your users from sharing the source either legally or with drm - you add restrictions to software, making it less free for your users.

The recent situation with RedHat provides good demonstration and example of this.

It’s free as in freedom, not as in free beer.

But you can’t have one without the other. Putting a cost on software is adding a restriction, thus making it less free (as in freedom).

Free software should be available to everyone, even to people who don’t have money to pay for it (poor third world countries, students, kids).

I personally believe, that you should pay for software that helps you earn money. For everything else - it’s everyone’s own decision to donate or not, based on a financial situation, beliefs, political position and what not.

only a small number will sign up for a specific forum

Most people don’t have to sign-up, 90% of cases should resolve on just searching the problem. Good chances it was already asked and answered.
Most of the time, forums with few users aren’t dead, they’re just really slow, whenever you post a question - expect at least 12-hour delay. I’ve never seen a message on Discord answered 12 hours later - you either get somewhat instant response or it’s ghosted forever. Also good luck asking questions if there’s heated/rapid discussion in the room, or you have a little time and other responsibilities other than checking discord every couple minutes.

as yet

It’s Nim, but I have no idea why you can’t do this in Rust:

var seeds = lines[0].split(": ")[1].splitWhitespace().mapIt(it.parseInt)

I would accept discord/irc over mailing list. But nothing beats a proper forum website.
And no, subreddit is not a proper forum.

I mean doesn’t america always bang on about people being able to govern themselves rather than been forced into another government they don’t want to be a part of.

Because any country supports only stuff that benefits them. And the states is no different. Do you really think USA cares about democracy and sovereignity in the middle east?

They only protect their own interests and Texas secession is against these interests: If Texas would get it’s sovereignity, what’s stopping other 50 states from doing the same?

Reminds me of mongolian tea: VERY strong, 70/30 milk and water, teaspoon of butter and a pinch of salt (enough to taste it and a little more).

I don’t drink it often, because it’s reallly unhealthy. But it’s really good beverage for cold winter nights or after tiring work. It gives you a boost of energy, without the usual sugar fatigue that comes after drinking sweetened coffee/energy drinks.

Yes the compiler/interpreter can figure it out on the fly, that’s what we mean by untyped languages.

Are there untyped languages? You probably meant ‘dynamically typed languages’.

But even statically typed languages can figure out most types for you from the context - it’s called ‘type inference’.

No way… I remember seeing this comment ~10 years ago. I’ve been trying to search for it occasionally through past 5 years. I didn’t remember the guy’s nickname, only the concept and that it’s Youtube’s ‘constant/rule’. Couldn’t find even a mention anywhere. I legit thought I made it up or it’s the Mandela effect.

Thank you! I can now live in piece.

There’ve been protests, riots, violent acts of protest at draft centers. This just doesn’t get as much coverage as Putin’s or US propaganda.

It’s not that masses not disgruntled enough. It’s just almost nothing people can do to stop the war. Would you do something stupid and worthless, when even a social media post can and will cost you portion of your life in prison?

I mean, they’re not wrong. But it’s not tiktok, it’s almost all social media and consequently, 99% of the internet.

cat << EOF > main.c; gcc main.c -o main

Or better yet, use z or zoxide:
“z down” will fuzzy match the “~/Download” folder.

There’s a separate syntax for quotes in markdown:

> This is a quote.
whole paragraph is still a quote with a single '>'
and even newlines are preserved and long lines are perfectly soft-wrapped, isn't it useful?
>
> empty lines should have '>' if they're part of quote

> this is a separate quote, because line above doesn't have '>'

This is a quote. whole paragraph is still a quote with a single ‘>’ and even newlines are preserved and long lines are perfectly soft-wrapped, isn’t it useful?

empty lines should have ‘>’ if they’re part of quote

this is a separate quote, because line above doesn’t have ‘>’
