While I do agree, it drives me nuts that you can only equip two lightsaber stances at a time. Resulted in a lot of backtracking to meditation points when different enemy types or a boss popped up and pushed my shit in.

Throwing my own RIP out to Fuel&Fuddle, they were the GOAT

C’mon, man, at least pour one out for the homies who waited to update and landed in the period where it was live and undisclosed.

God, there really is something there with that “problem!” signal that our brains can give off before any conscious dots have been connected. And this is for abstract shit that you’d figure our monkey brains wouldn’t give a damn about.

Ditto, I cannot emphasize enough how much SBA has become part of my internet diet

I’m going to copy my original comment:

Not for nothing, but the tendency for people who get along purely by being conventionally attractive to starfish isn’t like, a secret. Lack of effort isn’t really a gendered thing.

Where I very specifically narrow it down to vapid people who are in it for self-pleasure as opposed to mutual enjoyment.

The acrobatic inception of the idea that we’re talking about people reliving trauma instead of just being emotionally checked out like the entire previous thread implied is what I take issue with, it’s some legitimately heinous fake ally shit to use that as a non-sequiter argument.

And yes, implying that I or the guy before me continued on through a partner reliving trauma IS nonconsent which IS rape. You can’t imply one without implying the other.

Geez, maybe it’s because I’m tired af and it’s the end of the day, but I’m really having trouble following the thread here. I shouldn’t have to type out my history, but I’m NOT unfamiliar with SA, nor with having sex with men/masc-types. Falling back on implied accusations of nonconsent/SA to win an argument where it wasn’t brought up until you typed it out is kinda scummy.

Can you elaborate on

maybe surprisingly to you

?

There we go! That’s the non-sequiter meltdown I was waiting for to tell whether you were serious or just in it for the vapid self-fellatio.

Yeah, but not all administrative work is for Nazi Germany, that’s his point. Unicef has a website, not sure I could confidently call their engineers Nazis.

Raises hand meekly… I do in fact get this if I’ve been consistent for a long-ass time, not necessarily the dose size, but I swear to god you could replace my pen with ipecac and it would be the same experience. That said, long breaks “reset” it for me.

And while I don’t personally know anyone with the same problem, there are thousands of stories both online and IRL for me of “friend of a friend can’t smoke weed anymore because of it”.

To add on to the points here, hantavirus is lethal in a way that doesn’t translate to widespread pandemics easily. Coronavirus is unique in that while it was 5:1 more lethal than similarly transmissible airborn viruses, that was the “Goldilocks zone” for a virus with its lethality and transmissibility to do maximum damage. Lots of excess death, but the average person generally only had a slightly rough go of it. Hantavirus has >30% lethality in many forms, and is extremely likely to burn itself out before any sort of epidemic status.

So ultimately, very unfortunate for those that contract it, but its characteristics put it way below pretty much every other airborn illness in terms of what keeps me up at night.

OH, damn, I came in here all angry haha

Have you ever seen that video where an otter muck-sprays the water and all the fishes go crazy eating it?

Statements like “async is a language design dead-end” is the confidently correct misinfo that I’m talking about. You can’t expect anyone to take you seriously if you authoritatively present your opinions as gospel.

Should I instead have interpreted it as “async is a language design dead-end, and by dead-end I mean overfitted standard for the problem space?” Because I really have to be charitable and put words in your mouth to paint your argument in a good light.

Jfc that’s a bit of a stretch. You basically just said “you are wrong to use those features, and if you don’t use those features then my solution is great”. Like yeah, no shit, if I wanted a toy language I’d go back to using Logo.

“no visibility modifier” should probably mean “public”

For-fucking-real?

instead put different targets into different folders: much easier, works better

Ahh, yes, file-based programming, the most usable and ergonomic pattern for cross-cutting concerns. /s

async should not exist at all

The most I’ll give you there is that it’s used more frequently than it should. But it is far and away the best abstraction for bare-metal concurrency without a runtime. Your “dead end” comment reeks of writing off an entire language feature because you don’t understand it or why it solves problems no other language feature solves as well.

Normally I’m open to discussing the merits and comparing drawbacks to certain approaches, but of course I’m going to be cross if you dump a bunch of confident horseshit on me. Like, wtf man??

Hmm, I mean I totally understand the overlap in functionality. Especially when you get into the Java Lombok situation where annotations are as structural as the modifiers themselves. But there are clear cases in things like Python and Rust where the modifiers are a clear meta-programming that are mostly outside the scope of the language itself.

Granted, Rust is a weird example where annotations tend to “graduate” to the language itself, like in the form of #[async], but that clear delineation of what’s in the language itself and what’s defined as post-processing still leaves it more readable than if we heaped a chunk of similar-looking-but-willdy-different-effect-wise tokens on top of our function/type definition. E.g.,

#[cfg(target_os = "windows")]
#[pub] #[async] fn some_func() {
    #[mut] let my_var = 3u2;
    // ...

Vs.

#[cfg(target_os = "windows")]
pub async fn some_func() {
    let mut my_var = 3u2;
    // ...

Like, I do get the similarity in function, but it’s almost like why we have capitalization in our natural languages. Making language-defined features “louder” and more ingrained in the language itself makes sense, even if the border is fuzzy.

Edit: even going the other direction, and we do:

pub cfg(target_os = "windows") async fn some_func() {
    let mut my_var = 3u2;
    // ...

That homogenization is still a bit of a bitch to read

Under pressure! Pushing down on me, pressing down on you, you’re an asshole

Ty! 😊
