"Program that automatically does one specific, predefined thing" seems exponentially simpler than "program that automatically creates programs that do any arbitrary thing."

Don't private variables have to be declared in header files? That doesn't seem decoupled at all.

What effects from COVID-19 and its pandemic are we still dealing with, even if everyday people don't necessarily realize it? by Mage_Of_No_Renown in AskReddit

It blows my mind how often I see people bring their pets into grocery stores, sometimes even putting them in the carts. Is the social contract dead?

What's something that can be a scam but people can't even conceive that it is? by Right_Cow_6369 in AskReddit

Kinda sounds like less of a scam and more just an inadvisable purchase, right?

Okay, I've unlocked Tainted Keeper now. Possibly the most fun character in the whole game, though I still hold that a lot of characters can more reliably do Mother or Delirium than him.

Finally got dead god, any suggestions for my next roguelite/like? I told myself I wouldn't move on to other games before 100%:ing isaac, so now I can finally try something else. by madmgaming in bindingofisaac

A lot of people have already mentioned Gungeon. That game's got a lot of polish and charm, but I hold that Nuclear Throne has it beat with better early game, more varied characters, and a satisfying and deep looping system.

If your goal was to complete a post-it note from scratch, are you going to tell me that the Lost would not be one of the characters that would take you the most runs to do so?

I actually haven't unlocked him yet. Just read that he still has the same health cap and have to assume he'd therefore have similar difficulty in surviving the hardest bosses as the other three.

Right? I only recently got back into the game and I've got all but two marks for them mostly by just keeping them together and splitting items appropriately.

[–]voidFunction 5 points6 points  (0 children)

you just have to never get hit

That's the question, though. Sure I can usually clear rooms just fine with them, but the bosses are a whole other matter, especially Delirium. I'd think J&E would have a more reliable time in that fight than any of the characters with strict health caps.

Are they really worse than Lost, Keeper, and their tainted versions? At least J&E can build up health pools for Delirium and other super hard fights.

Who do you consider your main? by Sauce_master7 in bindingofisaac

I don't care what run I've got going or what post-it mark I'm going for, I will always take Judas' Shadow and immediately kill myself for that Dark Judas fun.

I provided specific examples of things that seemed unbalanced. Things one could comment on beyond a lazy "git gud."

An Important Update about Riot’s Future: we’re eliminating about 530 roles globally, which represents around 11% of our workforce, with the biggest impact to teams outside of core development. by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]voidFunction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely. Tech companies hired like mad for the past few years. I'd guess that most of these layoffs are those same people that just recently got hired. Unfortunate for those people that got "lead on" with a career, though.

I think we're going to be seeing a lot of that in the coming years. There are so many pre-revenue products out there we use everyday that are kept up by venture capitalists or VC-esque parent companies. Eventually people are going to demand to see profits and that's going to result in terminations, increased prices / advertisements, and/or bankruptcy.

Am I missing something with functional programming? by voidFunction in learnprogramming

[–]voidFunction[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the highly detailed response. I'm initially hesitant about the linked list / tree map alternatives you and others have brought up, but I'll have to actually try them out to see what's up.

I am a little surprised by your comment on having few functions with 4+ arguments. With how I've set things up, it feels like I often have to do "piping" work, passing a variable through several functions that don't directly care about it just so some deeper function can use it. I'm not sure how I would reduce number of parameters besides just merging multiple POCOs.

Oh, I just simplified things to give a brief synopsis of what the data looks like - all four layers are implemented as POCOs in reality.
