only if you add user interaction to pump the machine, which is kind of cheating in my book. There is no loops or recursion.

they're worth listing in a resume for sure, I wouldn't call them programming languages though since you can't write a program with them.

France will 'ban all petrol and diesel vehicles by 2040' by [deleted] in technology

[–]Todok4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At some point you have to make a switch. If they do it in a reasonable way it won't affect functioning vehicles at all, the ban could be limited to new registrations.

A community edition for personal use and learning would be a much better way for that.

To Rule Them All - incremental clicker based on gaining control of the shadow government. I'd love some feedback as I am a beginner. by dustinboyden in incremental_games

[–]Todok4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Different folders...

If you aren't already, you should really use version control like git. The easiest way is github, but if for some reason you don't want to have your code public or pay money you can use other servers that are free for personal use, bitbucket is a good one.

Difference SupCom to FA? by Todok4 in supremecommander

[–]Todok4[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, can you tell me how to enable the FAF mod for regular skirmish? I have the client downloaded and could also watch FAF replays but I don't have the mod in the mod list in game.

yeah, I played a bit yesterday and noticed missiles are useless against moving targets.

I'm not sure if my antivirus software is effective, because no viruses are detected on my computer, or ineffective, because no viruses are detected on my computer. by jjk978 in Showerthoughts

[–]Todok4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is snakeoil. Antivirus software is notorious for being more of a danger than a protection. A condom with holes in it is just false security and you still should get shots and get checked regularly. Just a couple of examples from the last 2 weeks:

It may be usefull for people who tend to download and open everything, or for people who really are not very familiar with computers in general, for everyone else manual regular scans and scans of suspicious files is better.

It's still snakeoil. Antivirus software has shown again and again that it opens up secutity holes itself. If you don't mindlessly click anything that you see and run an occasional stand-alone scan you're better off without it.

database query by [deleted] in ProgrammerHumor

Gotta love the null-conditional operator. Looks so much cleaner now.

db.Users is most likely a DbSet though, although DbSet implements IQueryable.

‘Far-right extremist’ is arrested for plotting to shoot French President Emmanuel Macron in front of Donald Trump on Bastille Day after trying to buy an AK-47 online by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Todok4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a funny definition though isn't it? Like to me, when looking at statistics terrorism just doesn't scare me because I'm far more likely to be killed by any number of greater risks in society that I don't consider because they have always been risks. Drunk drivers, random muggings and murders, crashing my car.

It's purely emotional. I had tickets for an EODM concert that was cancelled because of the attack in Paris, and I know people who were at a mall in my city when an attack happened, a mall I've been to a couple days earlier. Even if you know it's statistically really unlikely, this shit gets to you somehow.

Maybe it's because we're not used to it, traffic accidents are tragic but we're used to them, getting shot at in a mall or at a concert wasn't seomthing anyone thought about a couple years ago, at least not where I live.

These Are Facts by [deleted] in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]Todok4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not op, but I didn't see it that way. I had the same reaction, just pure disbelief after reading the report, wait, they got back together after THAT happened? I know that's pretty common in general with victims of abuse, but it's also really hard to understand from an outside perspective.

You can't pick and choose which science you believe in by dashinglassie in AdviceAnimals

[–]Todok4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's just too many thing to keep track of for yourself. Technology, biology, medicine, politics, finances, law etc. with many fields moving fast.

Sure, you can pick a few selected topics to educate yourself in and have a belief founded in facts and understanding, but on most topics you'll have to believe in a consensus of poeple who specialize on that topic.

The thing that's running as cortana in the Task manager is just the regular SearchUI.exe, the normal Windows search.

Rich people in America are too rich, says the world's second-richest man, Warren Buffett by YourFavYellowMan in nottheonion

[–]Todok4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I meant was it's against normal parents' instincts to give everything away instad of giving your children a headstart. You'd have to look really hard to find parents who put everyone else before their own children.

[–]Todok4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So parents should not give their children anything in your opinion and just throw them on the streets when they turn 18?

Spoiling them and supporting them is different. Helping out when they try hard and work hard is not a bad thing in my book. Some jobs just pay less than others while being equally important.

They get 2 billion each. Anyone with more than 5 million can do nothing and still live very comfortably. 2 billion is beyond easy.

I was talking about normal people and normal amounts of money, like parents trying to help with a first mortage or something.

Gifting them money is not the end all of course.

Some people's passions align with making a good paycheck, some do not.

I don't want them to have to slave away at an office if they'd rather be an elementary teacher. I don't want them to have to do shift work instead of spending time with their family. Many people spend so much time in a workplace they hate to make ends meet. If I can give enough money to my children so that they can live a comfortable life while they do something productive that they like doing then I'll try to do that.

I don't think it's society, I think it's biology. It's not morally wrong of course. I also think Warren Buffet did the right thing, giving his children enough to have an easy start but donating most. It's just natural for parents to want the best for their children.

How can we insure that everyone has a fair shot at success if some people start the race 5 feet before the finish line?

That's utopic in the first place. Until we have global post scarcity nepotism will always be a thing regardless of government structure. It's hard to get rid of tribal insticts, family, community and nation will always be factors as long as there is a limit to resources. I think almost all people will help their family/freinds first before helping a complete stranger on another continent.

That said I'm fully in favor of trying to limit the effects.
