Why is multiple levels of indentation bad?

IDK, but if the reason is "to break stuff into multiple functions", then I'm not necessarily writing yet another single-use function just to avoid writing a comment, especially in time critical applications. Did that with a text parser that could get text formatting from a specifically written XML file, but mainly due to it being way less time critical, and had a lot of reused code via templates.

Will the AI trained on it be hostile towards your question, if:

  • you ask help in an unpopular language,
  • there's already a janky and bloated middleware that does the same thing poorly?

Now it's being trained on Stackoverflow, consider those days to be over.

Q: Hey ChatGPT, I have issues with RAWINPUT under Windows, how do I fix it?
[Insert code here]

A: You dumdum, I see you're using the language D, which is for cucks. Real alpha programmers use C++, as they don't need things like memory safety (skill issue lol), and can afford multiple monitors because C++ still thinks we still only have a few megabytes of compiler memory available, so programmers still can see the header files. Want to still develop in an easier language for shits and giggles? Javascript, so your friends don't have to deal with .exe files (evil), and the web is the future anyways.

Regardless of that, there's already a C++ library that can handle input for Windows and many other operating systems. Oh, it uses DirectInput 8? Well, who cares, don't be picky, or just stop programming altogether, and leave it to the professionals.

Be glad it was your keyboard getting it and not you...

ZILtoid1991 OP ,

That would turn your desktop into a surgical bed.

I have a former friend, that turned fascist due to incel reasons.

Societal exceptions will also make men's safety networks way less efficient. My family helped me way less financially than any of my female relatives to avoid "spoiling me". I just smart enough to realize it wasn't the welfare state that did this.

ZILtoid1991 OP ,

Based!

Just pick up a pencil!

I was actually there. The backlash against digital art usually came from:

  • people who were otherwise already elittist towards one or two painting styles and media,
  • art gallery regulars (they can't sell JPEGs or PSDs),
  • poor people as back then graphics tablets were way more expensive and alternatives to Wacom also worse (the patents for their battery-free pens haven't expired yet), thus it was cheaper to buy paint and/or markers.
ZILtoid1991 OP ,

Looked it up, it's quite different (actually useful) than the programs that imagines things instead of a person that writes an article.

ZILtoid1991 ,

Then you realize your code is undebuggable because half the functions and variables have single-letter names or called foo, bar, baz, etc.

I had to learn that the hard way, but with a comic/manga idea I used to have.

Long story short: I worked way too long on an idea (almost 10 years), all while my taste etc. changed. It would have been way too hard to get it working after a while without a complete revamp of the whole idea, so I ditched it completely, maybe reuse elements and character concepts in other things, including video games (yes, they're easier to make, unless your comic's artstyle is stickmen figures).

Funny thing is, it's actually not that hard to get additional volunteers for an ongoing project if you're competent enough, only recent issues are YanDev messing up a lot of things (both his game and life) which might create some skepticism towards indie devs looking for such volunteering, and people not understanding how solo indie development works and fetishizing successes without truly understanding them.

The beach experience misses:

  • used heroin needles,
  • used condoms,
  • more thrown away trash in general,
  • dead fishes.

The femboy thing just makes it even funnier.

"Why are you pointing the gun at me, I thought we just were going after the transes for transing Lily Hoshikawa and Bridgette!" (Note that a lot of these types only started to pretend to care about femboys once they were forced to prove they weren't used for just gay bamboozle jokes.)

ZILtoid1991 ,

I also know a lot of them. They do suffer from main character syndrome. One of them gets extremely angry when it's not the common people that are doing the executions as he likes to imagine it.

Luck. The one that was formed by former English Nijisanji managers went immediately bankrupt, and also had dire consequences to Nijisanji itself (which also tried to step into NFTs at one point if it wasn't for the talents) as those managers were now missing from the company.

Basically if you were lucky and able to sell your NFTs for a hyperinflated price to be used in money-laundering schemes while you also profiting off of them on every transaction. If not, then your life savings were wasted on some crappy commissions.

Unfortunately, people like Peter Coffin, InfraHaz, and Caleb Maupin are confirmed to be not bots.

Also it's not like the far-right never had to adjust to the current political climate. There's a quite good reason why there's now blacks and Latinos working with white supremacists.

We also could benefit from the ratchet effect, but a lot of liberal politicians are trying to win over the right. That's why some back out from trans issues unfortunately, or double down on tax cuts to the rich.

The whole "we need to win over the moderates from the other side by making compromises" is an astroturf, see the Lincoln Project. All we need is better communication, and to reveal that "the cruelty is the point" of many of the far-right's socioeconomic policies, not concerns about "the transes" (previously "the gays") might regretting their "lifestyle choices", or "giving money to drug addicts that they'll use for a lethal overdose".

I use XML as markup language, what kind of deranged person thought to turn it into a programming language? My problems with the Lua API led me down the rabbit hole of making my own VM and implementation, not looking at a markup languge, then go "what if I used this for scripting?".

ZILtoid1991 ,

I really hate the fact, that the word "goon" now has a new meaning. (Bring back "coom"!)

I was thinking about what purpose the executive would have in a kids room, then I remembered the Epstein island, and the time a CEO only got a house arrest for child rape...

Rabbit R1 is Just an Android App ( www.androidauthority.com )

See, it turns out that the Rabbit R1 seems to run Android under the hood and the entire interface users interact with is powered by a single Android app. A tipster shared the Rabbit R1’s launcher APK with us, and with a bit of tinkering, we managed to install it on an Android phone, specifically a Pixel 6a....

Note that this is mostly due to the closed source drivers and nonexistent Linux support for smaller SoCs. Some manufacturers are quite good in that front (e.g. Broadcom/Raspberry Pi, Rockchip), with others you're lucky if they allow you to use Linux at all, with no GPU drivers (which you often have to pirate the binaries, thanks ARM for making Mali a completely closed source project from its open source origins).

Fun fact: She was chosen to be goth because the creators didn't want to put an actual minority there, which might been a pressure from police unions.

There's like a bunch of better choices for goth girls. Also "fixing" is often a code word for ABA when it comes to neurodivergent characters.

ZILtoid1991 OP ,

From what I've heard, it's a pretty good action game with a subpar story.

ZILtoid1991 ,

Once I dared to not call a Blahaj a "die Transgenderenhaifisch".

ZILtoid1991 ,

Swedes, when you type Blahaj instead of Blåhaj, because you're too lazy to switch from your physical to on-screen keyboard with diacritic support.

(Any way to type special letters on Android without installing different key layouts while on a bluetooth keyboard?)

ZILtoid1991 ,

Depends on. Some places of the metal community outdo gaming toxicity-wise, especially pre-2010s.

ZILtoid1991 OP ,

It can guess it, and will try to push for even translating languages you're fluent in to your native one.
