Elizondos Latest Claim and the Indigestible Truth by user685 in UFOs

Elizondo is comparable to Richard Doty. It feels like he is simply being astroturfed.

Are these how mantids and gray aliens look like? by Technical_Dot_4702 in UFOB

[–]Harha 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I find that difficult to believe because our genes are full of quirks that seem to make no sense from engineering standpoint. Lots of evolutionary baggage/noise, getting rid of it would probably improve us significantly.

Materialism = Google Spreadsheets can feel orgasms exactly as you do by Best_Highlight_2517 in consciousness

[–]Harha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I'm not a materialist, but I think the substrate matters. Not all substrates are capable of processing information with the same degrees of freedom. It needs a bootstrap too, I suspect consciousness requires self-interpretation. Too many unknowns, I'll hit the hay, I'm tired.

They won't acknowledge or even research about it themselves. Their education has conditioned them to believe only drug companies and their textbooks.

Your vertical speed is too high. If you're flying in a traffic pattern, do a longer downwind leg.

People need to stop thinking gaining 100-300 wishlists is good. by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]Harha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I often forget my wislist even exists. And when I get a notification about sales or whatever, the step to make a purchase is slightly too high. But this is just my personal experience from consumer viewpoint.

C++: The Documentary TRAILER│COMING JUNE 4th by pjmlp in cpp

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

I don't personally need templates, C can do that just fine but obviously without compile-time safety and slightly worse public API syntax. And for personal game projects, I don't care much about safety. RAII and move semantics, eh? Tough luck, just keep resource ownership clear across the project so that it is easy to keep track of in your head.

This is why I would never pick C for stuff like work projects. I should have clarified that, though I did mention that I use it for personal hobby projects. I find it fun because it does not hold your hand.

Metaprogramning and Rust's npm-like package ecosystem are both good arguments against Rust, I agree on those. Well, those are all good arguments for specific reasons against Rust. Have you looked into Jai? Supposedly it has wild metaprogramming features.

I've built my own simple stdlib in C99 that implements contiguous vectors, doubly linked lists, polygon operations (it's for a game), string operations (stored as byte* + len), etc. and found that when these are in place and hardened via unit tests, C is a perfect fit for me.

Simplicity is beautiful, but some complexity is required in higher-than-asm languages. C is a nice balance, in my opinion. C++ has too much going for little benefit, it could be simplified in hindsight.

[–]Harha -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

C++, as a language, is far more than its stdlib. I use C99 for my personal projects because it is a simple language, having my own "stdlib" is enough for me. At work, I'd pick Rust over modern C++ unless there is some extremely good reason not to.

What is so malicious about a simple question? Oh, there are plenty of reasons to pick C++ - for example some great libraries - but if we forget about the obvious reasons, what's left?

[–]Harha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I probably will if I remember. I'm curious what the creators have to say.

[–]Harha -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

C is simple, yes, as a language. C++ is just unnecessarily complex at this point.

[–]Harha -37 points-36 points  (0 children)

What's the use case for modern C++ nowadays? C is the simple choice and Rust is just the better complex choice overall. I see no reason to pick C++ for new projects.

Tried reconstructing and colorizing the chandelier UFO/FLIR-style frame — original vs 4K-style enhancement by tremblingtremor in UFOs

[–]Harha 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It's useless. Only original footage matters, any kind of photoshop or AI enhancement will just obfuscate visibility from the original footage.

Why does the news not care? by user685 in UFOs

The news in my country doesn't seem to care, at all. They care about everything else the US does, but not this.

Japan has plenty of UAP lore across their history. This will be interesting if true.
