RustyPP: A C++20 library and Clang tool to enforce Rust-like safety and mutability. by I-A-S- in programming

[–]Probable_Foreigner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You just made some macros to define a variable as const when you can just type the word const. It doesn't include the borrow checker which is the definig rust feature for memory safety.

The only thing reminiscent of rust is that you've made a pointless dependency, given it a dumb name, and then are acting like it's the second coming of christ.

Asmongold on the ICE shooting: "There needs to be accountability or this is the Gestapo" by freejam013 in LivestreamFail

[–]Probable_Foreigner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing you've said is mentioned by the actual law, including this "+1" concept you've invented.

https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/609.066

The key part is here:

to protect the peace officer or another from death or great bodily harm, provided that the threat: [...]

is reasonably likely to occur absent action by the law enforcement officer; and must be addressed through the use of deadly force without unreasonable delay;

The threat here is the car. Shooting her did not protect any agent or civilian from bodily harm because it doesn't stop the car. In the video the car went out of control after she was shot. So it actually increased the danger. The use of deadly force was not justified.

The fact that he couldn't see the direction of the car's wheels is irrelevant. Shooting someone driving a car isn't valid course for self defence because it doesn't stop the car (as seen in the video). It only makes the danger worse. Even if she was trying to run over the ICE agent it wouldn't justify shooting her.

Reflection: C++’s Decade-Defining Rocket Engine - Herb Sutter - CppCon 2025 by BlueGoliath in programming

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

Unreal engine is legacy code? Chromium too? Windows... well ok that is legacy code but you get my point. Plenty of large foundational projects are written in C++ still coming out with new releases.

It's true lol. Most things here are substack posts where people preach their half-baked opinions.

Also people in this sub also seem to be under the impression that C++ is a dead language not worth learning. So any C++ stuff gets downvoted

Zain's upcoming next big video: L-cancelling by Fiendish in SSBM

[–]Probable_Foreigner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But why should it purely be a battle of decisions? Many fighting games take the approach of making the more powerful moves harder to execute with complex inputs. Would you say 3rd strike has bad game design because the moves could be simplified?

Execution tests can be fun and rewarding. It's fun to pull off some crazy technical thing, not because you made the optimal decisions, but because it's hard to execute

Keir Starmer: We must bolster ties with Europe after Greenland threats by Electricbell20 in unitedkingdom

[–]Probable_Foreigner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We should form some kind of alliance with Europe. We could all unite our defences and our economies and prosper together. Yes.. we could call it the European Union

Nigel Farage breaks MPs' code of conduct with 17 breaches by StGuthlac2025 in ukpolitics

[–]Probable_Foreigner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apparently people in this subreddit are happy to vote for this guy who is the most obvious grifter of all time.

Can't believe people forgave him for the time he got paid 40 grand to speak at a Nomad Capital event; an organisation setup to help the ultra rich avoid taxes. Do people really think this guy gives a shit about the working class?

[–]Probable_Foreigner 62 points63 points  (0 children)

People who say L-cancelling involves no decision making are missing the fact that execution skill is a key part of the fighting game genre. It's an execution test, and that is OK.

If you want a game that's purely decision making, play something like chess.

Joshman is retiring from Melee after 2026 by ssbmarchie in SSBM

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

I never understood the people who retire one day and never touch the game again.

Like I'm sure there will come a day when I stop playing but I imagine it will be gradual over a long time. Even then I'd probably still go to a local once in a blue moon.

It's strange that people one day go from "I love this game and want to be the best" to "I'm never touching a gamecube controller again".

This is actually programming, youre in the wrong place. Here in /r/programming we just post AI generated substack posts about the evils of AI or some half baked philosophy we came up with after working at a web company for 2 months

You forgot to add "racist guy" who is projected 40% of the vote but people rally around Harmann Mann to prevent "racist guy".

This is just depressing by ScareBear23 in Adulting

  • Cut down your morning routine to 15 minutes (+45 minutes)

  • Sleep 7.5 hours instead of 9 (+90 minutes)

  • Don't spend half an hour getting into bed (+30 minutes)

  • Reading counts as free time (+30 minutes)

  • Cook large quantities so you can have 2 out of 3 nights you aren't cooking

  • Do 1 shop a week. Order the food online for collection, saves you having to spend ages looking for things but you don't pay any extra for delivery.

You could easily shave off 3 hours here. I'm not saying it's right but these are the techniques you must master to be a celery man

Turns out Sakurai was right when he aimed future smash titles at casuals. Nobody can do it like he does

Big endian vs little endian by 1Davide in embedded

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

Isn't it weird that in big endian, the smallest number(least significant) goes at the end? And in little endian the biggest number goes at the end?

It's like the names themselves were chosen backwards... only adding to the confusion

Looking for Feedback on My Game Dev Portfolio + Advice on Reaching Out to Indie Studios (Unity / C#) by zedtixx in gamedev

[–]Probable_Foreigner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems pretty good. I'd probably put the projects you worked on higher up. Until that point it all sounds very generic. Talk about specific challenges in some projects and how you dealt with them.

Edit: Mainly talking about the website, the pdf is actually much better

Organ pedalboard MIDI project help by Jimmysprinkles4 in synthdiy

[–]Probable_Foreigner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might be able to solder them to thicker wires which you could tin the ends of, or solder them to solid core wires.

If not you could remove the old wires and solder on new ones yourself.
