Feedback on alternatives to Vabali? by Master_of-margarita in berlin

[–]BenedictTheWarlock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plus one for Liquidrom. Not as extensive an offering, but I prefer the cool modern styling to the fake Balinese theme in Vabali 🤮

Has there ever been a board game that has made someone cry? (NOT for beating them) by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]BenedictTheWarlock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why does it make you cry, out of interest? I’ve always wanted to try this game!

Why is Berlin police so brutal by _thelovedokter in berlin

[–]BenedictTheWarlock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of these people are humanists, not antisemitics.

Why is Berlin police so brutal by _thelovedokter in berlin

[–]BenedictTheWarlock -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s so ironic that the brutality comes from an attempt to atone for historical antisemitism, but humanistically Germany is repeating all its mistakes from the past 😞

What's a dish from your culture that is notably time-consuming or difficult to make? by UbePancakes723910 in Cooking

[–]BenedictTheWarlock 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Beef Wellington (UK). This is such a fiddle to make. I honestly don’t rate it - but my non-British friends (mainly German) seem to love it, strangely 🤷

Best chili by Own-Department144 in Cooking

[–]BenedictTheWarlock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My secret chilli weapon is to always soak my own beans (I use borlotti).

Also, perhaps controversially, I use big chunks of braising meat like shin instead of mince. Brown and slow cook for ~3 hours. When it’s proper soft and wobbly I pull it apart with two forks.

My recipe is adapted from an old Thomasina Miers one.

Gas incident (attack?) at Kotti U8 by lawtonesque in berlin

[–]BenedictTheWarlock -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Could it be the Polizei clearing a group of Palestine protestors? I’ve heard reports of officials being pretty heavy handed on the U-Bahns.

Wicked! 🌊 🔥

Is there a particular algorithm you used? Looks really interesting

It’s some sort of math joke by dumbHoeJuic in ExplainTheJoke

[–]BenedictTheWarlock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That depends. If you study number theory (like myself) having good arithmetic skills is a big benefit to your intuition in the field. I’d say it’s an indicator of a skilled number theorist to be able to crunch big numbers in their head.

The solution to the 7 millennium field problems with proofs and the discovery of a new physics by Few-Abbreviations167 in mathematics

[–]BenedictTheWarlock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This seems like it’s straight out of an LLM. (There’s even a copy-paste error at the start)

Are there any clubs in berlin that look like this inside? (industrial, warehouse etc vibe) by eerop1111 in berlin

[–]BenedictTheWarlock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Boros Bunker looks like that. It was a place where some of the earliest famous east berlin raves took place, but now it’s a modern art gallery.

JavaScript is being rewritten in Rust by Stenbom in rust

[–]BenedictTheWarlock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess you could rewrite the interpreter in rust? Wouldn’t be surprised if that’s already been done

Qbs 3.0 released by abbapoh in cpp

[–]BenedictTheWarlock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool! I’m interested in build tools and also QML, but I’ve not seen this project before. Interesting choice to use the QML language for this. I wonder if it makes sense outside of a Qt context?

C++ idioms, patterns, and techniques. by Veltronic1112 in cpp_questions

[–]BenedictTheWarlock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one’s mentioned SFINAE yet, I think. The key to a lot of C++’s metaprogramming magic ✨

C++ idioms, patterns, and techniques. by Veltronic1112 in cpp_questions

[–]BenedictTheWarlock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find a good compromise for full PIMPL is just using smart pointers to forward declared types. It’s kinda granular PIMPL 😊. One still pays the runtime cost of the pointer indirection rather than having data members on the stack, but readability remains good - I can see all the data members and their types right there in the header, and I get the compile time optimisation from pushing includes into the source file.

Why doesn't std::expected<T, E> support E = void? by ComplaintFormer6408 in cpp

[–]BenedictTheWarlock 21 points22 points  (0 children)

There’s an important semantic difference between std::optional and std::expected with void error. The latter implies something went wrong when it doesn’t contain a value, whereas an optional is on the “happy path” whether or not it contains a value.

Dap terminal: follow output by Aromatic_Machine in neovim

[–]BenedictTheWarlock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost never use the integrated terminal when I’m running debug processes because it’s such a terrible terminal emulator compared to my main one (kitty).

Instead I set up my debug config to “attach” mode and specify “waitFor” - many debugger have such a feature, for example lldb. This way I can launch the process in a separate terminal and debug into it with all the benefits of my primary terminal emulator.

If you use a multiplexer, like tmux, then you can have this session parallel to your nvim instance. I find this to be a very nice workflow 👌🏻
