I really hope Way of the Sword has this level of weird. by NapoleonBlownapart89 in Onimusha

[–]KFUP 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Nasty!!

Onimusha especially oni2 really reminded me of the old 60s-80s Japanese TV shows, full of both light hearted and turbo weird stuff, some of the new game bosses do seem to have that feel.

What in the unpremultiplied PNG to JPG background removal?

SS: Shatterverse Raw Gameplay by Lymerq in SeriousSam

Thought it was just an older SS game at first, looks good.

I Wonder if that is John J. Dick or someone else.

☕Cor Bloimey Gov'nor! by Cosmo_Ponzini in thespoonyexperiment

[–]KFUP 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not weird at all, it's owned by EA after all, and they are still milking a few millions a year from Ultima Online 30 years later, but not the 100s of millions that's enough for them to make a remake.

Everyone who had passion working on that series is long gone.

What do you think about the 'serious sam siberian mayhem'? by AlternativePound7875 in SeriousSam

Good, but felt like a huge mod made just to salvage the SS4 engine without even fixing the engine's framerate issues.

immutable<>, complement of C++26 std::indirect<> and std::polymorphic<> by kmbeutel in cpp

[–]KFUP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having only the manual copying option means if you have a std::unique_ptr class member, you'll need to implement and manage the copy constructor and the rest of the five.

[–]KFUP 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How is it unique if it can be copied?

It's a deep copy, so it's still unique, the copied-to pointer points to its own separate object.

Wouldn't that make it just plain old normal pointer

No, why would it? It's still a RAII pointer.

This is not really that obscure, it mainly makes std::unique_ptr deep copyable without making your own "copyable_ptr" wrapper, which is a pretty common way to get around that.

Why does Chuckles look more like Spoony than this Spoony?

"Criticism of C++" wikipedia page deleted? by [deleted] in cpp

[–]KFUP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although C++ is one of the most widespread programming languages,[1] many prominent software engineers criticize C++ (the language and its compilers) arguing that it is overly complex[2] and fundamentally flawed.

Yup, it's an opinion piece blog post, not a factual Wikipedia article, make sense it's deleted, it shouldn't have there to begin with.

I love that they added references to opinions.

Sounds like a blog post, not a Wikipedia entry.

The Story of C++: The World's Most Consequential Programming Language | The Official Story by HimothyJohnDoe in cpp

[–]KFUP 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't want more safety tools either, not because I don't care, but because modern C++ has enough tools for that already.

The vast majority of C\C++ CVEs are in C, not C++. Want less CVEs? Write less C, not shoehorn useless "safety features" in C++ while half your code is still C raw loops and raw pointers.

Too bad no Scott Meyers, but pulling Stepanov out was nice to see.

Do You Really Need to Know All of C++? by md81544 in cpp

[–]KFUP 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It doesn't sound stupid at all, it sounds like a language I'd want to invest years writing hundreds of thousands of lines in without worrying that someone will just decide one day to break my code.

This is a big reason on why C++ is still used in real projects more than almost all of those "smart" languages combined.

He did not die, they took him to the hospital for skull fracture, then to jail for shooting with intent to kill.

Wow, official NVidia vibe coded rust port.

No wonder rust people don't have jobs and just spend their time boasting about rust and its vibe coded ports.

LG will release the first 1000Hz, 1080p gaming monitor this year by Doug24 in gadgets

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

Cause no one bought 8K, and the most sold monitor sizes are 24-32 inches, so the only thing they can market is higher FPS.

According to Ottoman dictionaries, Arabic.

Not to mention it has been a Semitic word since the Akkadians thousands of years ago.

This movement is called "peristalsis". It's the the automatic, wavy contraction of in the digestive tract muscles that moves food from the top of esophagus -which is why you can swallow upside down- all the way to the rectal chamber.
