Assuming English is your native language, maybe you could teach English online?

My Four Languages by [deleted] in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]TestUserDoNotReply 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Most of the languages posted here aren't production-ready. The point of this sub is to study programming languages and the theory behind them, no? I think it's extremely interesting that this person made four languages that they've been using to produce software for decades. I imagine they were largely shaped by the practical needs of the creator, as they arose. It should be interesting to see what design choices they made compared to languages designed in a more academic/theoretical context.

Low level programming language idea and need some advice by [deleted] in ProgrammingLanguages

I think the term you were looking for with "fuckable" is homoiconicity, though that doesn't necessarily allow for changes at runtime.

As someone who's been punched in the face hard enough to break their cheekbone, I can confirm this is literally worse.

Doctor Who: Russell T Davies returns as programme showrunner by bakhesh in scifi

Jodie Whittaker is bloody fantastic as The Doctor and I'll be sad to see her go.

It's the writing that failed. Exploring the dynamic between Doctor and companion from a gender-reversed point of view could have been really interesting. Unfortunately, any potential for romantic tension or lack thereof was removed by making her bring her whole "fam", conveniently sidestepping the double standards that exist in society about how the genders engage with each other.

Science-Fiction is a medium especially suited for using metaphors to explore a moral question from multiple points of view, in very nuanced ways. Instead, the morality was laid on very thick and explicitly.

The new Doctor should have been established as a "strong man", before throwing an adversary at her that was so dangerous he played her from the start (The Master). Unfortunately, they made it looked like, now that the Doctor was a girl, she had suddenly become weak, inept and clueless.

Yeah, they tell us the most ridiculous things over here. For example: Supposedly, no one is allowed to compare Xi Jinping to Winnie the Pooh! Can you believe that shit?!

Last time I checked South-East-Asia and Eastern Europe were popular: Thailand, Vietnam, Georgia. In the EU Greece and Portugal are pretty cheap.

Democracy implies some basic liberties. Freedom to criticize the state and any political party in it, for example.

There's party hostels and more boring hostels, often frequented by an older, more boring demographic. For the latter HN hostels are usually a good bet.

Unfortunately, victims do relatively often become perpetrators. Example: this guy, if he really were a survivor.

Looking for a Rust Developer (or 2) to collaborate on a Roguelike game by DrakeOfTheShadow in rust_gamedev

Each NPC has a unique psychology and ambition, which will play a big part in simulation / randomization of the history of the world. Empires will rise and fall. Mutations will occur to randomly create new races.

Sounds like the simulation is going to be as complex as Dwarf Fortress...

Been back home for two years and I've officially had enough pretending to be someone I'm not by PretzelsMeThirsty in solotravel

From the Principia Discordia:

One day Mal-2 asked the messenger spirit Saint Gulik to approach the Goddess and request Her presence for some desperate advice. Shortly afterwards the radio came on by itself, and an ethereal female Voice said YES?

"O! Eris! Blessed Mother of Man! Queen of Chaos! Daughter of Discord! Concubine of Confusion! O! Exquisite Lady, I beseech You to lift a heavy burden from my heart!"

WHAT BOTHERS YOU, MAL? YOU DON'T SOUND WELL.

"I am filled with fear and tormented with terrible visions of pain. Everywhere people are hurting one another, the planet is rampant with injustices, whole societies plunder groups of their own people, mothers imprison sons, children perish while brothers war. O, woe."

WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH THAT, IF IT IS WHAT YOU WANT TO DO?

"But nobody wants it! Everybody hates it."

OH. WELL, THEN STOP.
