I personally needed the Pi for its Arm architecture.

At least my game engine, PixelPerfectEngine, is being tested on the Raspberry Pi 400, so a stronger hardware with Linux shouldn’t be an obstacle, but that engine isn’t made for that kind of spectacle if you can decode its name.

Yes, but not many games run on ARM natively.

There’s some non-freeware FOSS projects, especially in pursuit of some support. While the better ones either have an easy to use build system and/or just negwares if you download their “trial” version, projects like Ardour is a lot more involved. It has actual noise injected into the sound output, it has a convoluted build system (for which they don’t provide build manuals - after forking, you’ll find out it will also need a specific version of VS to build), and on top of that, an expensive subscription model.

A lot of those boys turn to god, only to become even more misogynistic, and now they have the irrationality of religion in their arsenal. No need for logical arguments anymore, just scream “god said so” until you get what you wanted, also they become much harder to convince that their ways are the wrong ones.

No because of the oil industry.

Do you think one should also show acceptance of highly defamatory speech, and only punish the very people that act out on them?

Believing that certain groups must be eradicated isn’t covered under my tolerance of “diverse opinions”.

Dude, do you think a group that hates “diversity” in its every shape and form is just “moderate”?

1. Dumb culture wars around programming languages.
2. It a lot different from C. In C, you have Typeidentifier variable;, in Rust you have let mut variable : Typeidentifier;, and it’s just the tip of the iceberg.
3. Some of its safety features (including RAII - a favorite feature of marcan) are both detrimental to the performance and hard or impossible to opt out from.

Does Wayland has its own Mastodon instance? If yes, they could do a funny.

Now I need two things:

1. Wait until it becomes available.
2. Get my Zenit Helios lens cleaned in the inside and reassembly it correectly from my attempt at trying to get into it to clean it myself.

I actually got into a fight over suggesting someone to use stock photos instead of grungy-smeary AI generated images for their (sh)articles, so at least I won’t believe it was too AI generated. Then they insisted on it being their own creation, and how they became an artist through words.

This XML parser of mine uses safe by default.

Pointers are not guaranteed to be safe. DIP1000 was supposed to solve the issue of a pointer referencing to a now expired variable (see example below), but it’s being replaced by something else instead.

int* p;
{
  int q = 42;
  p = &q;
}
writeln(*p);     //ERROR: This will cause memory leakage, due to q no longer existing

D has many memory safety features. For local variables, one should use pointers, otherwise ref does references that are guaranteed to be valid to their lifetime, and thus have said limitations.

That’s why I often recommend D instead.

Has a much more C-style syntax, except much more refined from the years of hindsight. The catch? No corporate backing, didn’t jump on the “immutable by default” trend when functional programming evangelists said for loops are a bad practice and instead we should just write recursive functions as a workaround, memory safety is opt-in (although “safe by default” can be done by starting your files with @safe:), some of the lead devs are “naive centrists” who want to “give everyone a chance at coding even if they’re bad people (nazis)”, implementing new changes to the lang has slowed down significantly up until the departure of Adam D Ruppe and the drama surrounding it, etc.
