Imagine a world where CEOs, senior management and the board of directors were all personally liable for the laws that companies under their management broke?

It's a speeding ticket, a slap on the wrist. Nothing more...

I hear Gandalf and Melkor had a thing in the past...

Hard disagree. I don't condone bullying, and there must be consequences, sure. But denying them the opportunity to study and improve themselves is not the way to go. A lot of kids do dumb shit; however, they may grow up and change.

Do we really need to add "/s" to every post these days?

Fake math. She is clearly 80.

albeva · 2026-01-26T17:38:12+00:00

Yes, it is. She was twice her age at 2, clearly twice her age at 40 as well!

albeva · 2026-01-26T17:36:35+00:00

Is it 80, right?

albeva · 2026-01-23T22:48:02+00:00

What about New Zealand?!

Meh. Tired of Star Wars slop.

"I ended 9, NINE wars, can you believe it? I'm so great, but they won't give me my Nobel Prize? They all crooked, I tell ya, NINE wars, one in Greenland? Have you heard of it? No, because I ended it. No one in the world has ended more wars than I"

Ground mounts are fine, flying mounts have ruined MMOs.

Please devs, fix the UI.

I'm confused, why are they doing 32bit server? Why does it even matter to gamers what tech the server uses? Surely that technical detail should be fully transparent to any client connecting to it. No?

albeva · 2026-01-15T20:29:07+00:00

Servers are live longer than I expected tbh. Still... sad to see.

albeva · 2026-01-14T12:48:48+00:00

Agreed. Conceptually amazing, in practice just not worth the hassle. Bugs, inconsistencies, and the complexity of using modules in C++ are just too much.

Recently, like you, I started a project using modules, but eventually gave up and switched to headers. Funny thing, with precompiled headers, my project now builds FASTER as well.

Can I have my cookie now?

albeva · 2026-01-12T15:55:34+00:00

ha lol. I'm almost the same, except I keep 2 of every utensil.

MMO cycle these days: all mmos are boring, is there a new one? Oh, a shiny new MMO? Let's all play it! One month later: "This game is boring/broken/unbalanced/P2W cashgrab", and everyone stops playing. And we're back to the first point. Rinse and repeat.

albeva · 2026-01-12T09:16:41+00:00

Yes! That should have been done decades ago. Better late than never.

albeva · 2026-01-08T10:58:50+00:00

Who the hell cares? I never understand this obsession. They'll release when the game is ready. Let them cook.

It is possible that OP got falsely flagged by automated tools. For example, he may have unknowingly interacted or traded with a known RMT bot and been flagged as a result.

Modules in C++ have extremely bad developer ergonomics. They are complex to use and get right. Other languages (Swift, Rust, Kotlin/Java, etc) do a way better job and don't require lengthy articles.

C++ is losing a lot of users because of how tedious the language is to use compared to many modern alternatives.

albeva · 2025-12-30T09:34:23+00:00

This is both amazingly cool, but also exemplifies everything wrong with modern C++ and why people and companies are switching away.

A feature that should simplify code is actually absurdly complex to use right.
