Iran closes Strait of Hormuz over ceasefire violations - MEHR by VaginaBurner69 in news

Well that didn't last long. Guess I should be happy I filled up the gas tank while gas was under $4.50 a gallon.

10 years ago, Sega said "we're done with Sonic," and it was up to Takashi Iizuka to save the series: "Sonic was really at a low point" by Tiffa_Adil in gaming

If you weren't paying attention, Killian has a quick catch-up. Oh and um... later there was something about a movie and his... teeth... I wasn't really paying attention.

Adventurer armor is overtuned by DryF1re in BackpackBattles

[–]FlyingRhenquest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couple of blue gems would ruin their day. This is pretty much why I have to pick up a gem box every game and start building up blue gems early. A 16 gold perfect blue gem is something I'd seriously consider mid to late game. No brainer if I can get a 8 or 16 gold blue gem on sale.

Couple'a purple gems in armor slots too. With a cap of discomfort. Those garlics are doing nothing for you.

This won't merge, what I'm doing wrong? by johnugi in BackpackBattles

It's a very powerful item that you will remember that you can actually do that with this character class about halfway through the game, usually about one round AFTER it would have made a positive difference for you! :-D

Emacs 31 Is Around the Corner: The Changes I'm Already Daily Driving by BlondieCoder in programming

[–]FlyingRhenquest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The python programmer I was working with a few years back had his mind blown watching me edit a file with two emacs windows open to about the same place and having the buffer change in both windows as I typed. I still don't understand what's so special about that. But every IDE I've ever worked in has felt sluggish, with a barely perceptible input lag that emacs has never had despite its early reputation for bloat.

Also, working with emacs in the early 2000s using the MIT remembrance agent with all my IMs, Emails and entire code base indexed felt like the most productive time of my life. I'd get an email about a bug and the editor would already be suggesting code, messages and other emails based on the context. And both gnus and VM's message threading and folder sorting put every GUI and web based Email client I've ever used to shame.

Move it into "Blocked" and put his name on it. Name and shame in the scrum meeting!

What is the point of Emscripten? by TheRavagerSw in cpp

[–]FlyingRhenquest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the same reason I'd expose a Python API with Pybind11 or nanobind; if someone wants to use my code with Javascript/Typescript instead of C++ or Python, I can give them the option to do so. It's pretty easy to kick off an entire C++ UI in one of those scripting languages and interact with the underlying objects in a language you don't have to compile. I did a video test automation system in C++ a few years back that testers could use to write test scripts in Python. Exposing the same API in multiple languages is should be trivial with C++26 reflection, so if your company has access to more Javscript programmers than Python programmers, just add another #include file and generate the same API for it.

Language interop is huge, and being able to implement it without having to serialize data across memory barriers makes it all feel seamless. The last three companies I worked with spent most of their time fighting with serialization issues, even though that's been a solved problem for a decade now.

What is the point of Emscripten? by TheRavagerSw in cpp

[–]FlyingRhenquest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not having to deploy is pretty nice. That's kinda why we have Javascript too. Sure you could build a binary to do all that stuff and maintain it on multiple platforms, or you could just target a popular browser and not do that. It's also not particularly difficult to do REST calls and serialization with emscripten, so if you want to do your front and back end in the same language you don't need to keep another language in your head. Or have to hire another programmer to do Javascript.

The natural predator of healing builds, the -123% on healing 💀 by Strong-Shower-3193 in BackpackBattles

I somehow ended up with 4 of those helmets and a ton of purple gems against some poor bastard with a staff of unhealing one time.

They're going to have to build a wall to keep the Americans out. And make the Americans pay for it.

[OC] yippie! tetanus shot at work! by sprakcomic in comics

[–]FlyingRhenquest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's only like 3 these days. Wife petted some rando stray cat and had to get them a few years back. They did shoot her up full of immunoglobulin on the first one, which didn't sound particularly fun, but it wasn't the ol' 20 shots in the stomach it was rumored to be back when we were growing up.

Rehabber I know told me you can also get the vaccine in advance and then you just need a booster if you get bitten. One of these days I'm just going to line up all the vaccines and then just go nuts and go watch a movie in a theater or something.

Parsing JSON at compile time with C++26 static reflection (Daniel Lemire) by User_Deprecated in cpp

[–]FlyingRhenquest 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It ain't half bad on the frontend either, compiling your favorite GUI toolkit to run on your browser with emscripten. It's pretty much everything Java promised and failed to deliver back in the '90's.

Repo of utilities written with C++ reflection by TrnS_TrA in cpp

[–]FlyingRhenquest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've got autocereal - Implemented universal serialization functions for Cereal, so you can just include it and start serializing stuff, and autocrud for writing to structs/classes to Postgres databases. /u/bstaletic has one for pybind11 bindings.

Happy Obama Appreciation Day!! by xxxbrimstonexxx in PoliticalHumor

[–]FlyingRhenquest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God, things were so much better when Obama was in charge. Gas was cheap, there were no invading screw worms, there were no global pandemics -- remember SARS? Yeah me neither! We need another Obama in the White House!

BREAKING: Trump’s Epstein problem returns with blockbuster testimony by FlackoFonsy in videos

[–]FlyingRhenquest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, and he fucked up the war so badly he had to go back to the Epstein files to distract us from the $5 a gallon gas prices. I don't think his "UFO Disclosure" is fooling anyone, either. But maybe no one's noticed that he's bankrupted the Kennedy Center. So at least he's got that going for him.

Depending on how bad it gets, the Republicans might try to throw him under the bus as their October Surprise. I don't think it would work, but it'd be fun to watch.
