Caveman

June 2026 had unknown at 20% but they removed it in favor of BSD

They stopped reporting “unknown”? I want to know the absolute number also. It was 20% unknown for June.

Marginal value of money at 10T is almost zero.

This is what I stay on Lemmy for

I’m not mad and this thread is specifically about neopronouns. I haven’t been put on the spot about this but my wife has.

"but since this is kinda new… " I was referring to custom pronouns.

"Pronouns essentially make… " I was also referring to custom pronouns.

Which is what this post is about.

Napoleon Total War. Not sure if I was achievement hunting or not but it sounds fun.

We could have had VM languages also like C# and Java and had web that was actually fast.

Removed by mod

That one would be almost impossible to beat unless you recognise the the boom/bust cycle. It sounds interesting

I would like a slider mode. It’s very hard to do any sensible strategy with an all or nothing approach. If market goes up by 30% I want to progressively sell and vice versa

I use Claude/Codex, if it finds a thingy that’s reusable it’ll use it but it’ll never create it or ask if it should be created in my experience. I find that it doesn’t create new components but just replicates the existing one.

Within same file is a different story though, it does write helper functions to share logic which is proper.

I never understand why you wouldn’t want to read the code. I prevent a massive amount of correct slop by just skimming. The LLM will 10 times out of 10 never ask “this code will be a massive duplication of exact same behavior, do you want to refractor it?” because it’s trained to finish a task without asking if possible.

Uncle Bob now writes code for his tests instead of tests for his code. I know it’s TDD but it always seemed backwards to me.

Unit tests for logic, integration tests for outside apis, e2e for features is the sweet spot IMO.

With great power comes great responsibility

To be fair, if your video editor doesn’t support webp in 2026 it has to at least suck a little bit.

Is this a very niche copypasta that I’m unaware of?

Obviously be mad at whoever responded to a request without accept webp in it with a webp or didn’t provide an alternative. Nothing wrong with supporting webp with a fallback

Yeah, they’re all having their shocked pikachu face on when people don’t have babies. If anybody would take a random sample of women and check whether they would have a baby in their position the answer would almost always be no. Now it feels like only people that are dead set on having babies that go for them when the replacement rate needs plenty of people having 3+ to make up for single kid and people who struggle making one or can’t find a partner.

So to fix it we only need better economy, minimum wage, median wage, housing affordability, generous parental leave, day care and kindergarten heavily subsidised, schooling subsidised up to uni and 30h week with unpaid overtime illegal. I really don’t see this happening with increasing pension and healthcare cost for the elderly.

That’s a valid reason and all but I’d also add that life is just very expensive, both parents need to work to make ends meet and lack of time available for child care. If you add housework imbalance you get South Korea level fertility.

There is a pent up demand for kids when looking at “How many do you want?” vs “How many do you have?” but having them is irrational for most people. It takes a long while for parents to become financially secure, usually comes at 30+ years and then you ask one of the parents to take a massive career hit and add 3h of work per day to the schedule.

If the gov really wants babies we really need to reduce work hours to 30/week for both parents.

I mean, gdscript in godot is very nice and convenient. It offloads a lot of the heavy labor to the engine already and is very well optimised. If you need more speed and type safety C# is the logical next step. C# is very convenient and easy to pick up if you already know Typescript for being a strict language.

Also the guy’s criticism of C++ is basically that nothing is bundled in and keeping libraries compatible with each other is a PhD level activity. The packages are also allowed to fuck with your code with macros, preprocessing directives etc. on top of being written in a non-compatible standard where they only provide a compiled binary with an ABI instead of giving you the source. Updating dependencies becomes a massive pain also because of the same reason since it can so easily break everything without any reasonable stack trace. You might say “Ok whatever, I’ll just preprocess my C++ and rename all by variables” but dependencies can also break other dependencies with macros so there’s no escape. One dep updates, another one breaks in an 100% unrelated part of the program.

But for a reasonably sized project where C++ dependencies are already handled by Godot it’s not that bad. Especially if you’re the only developer or have at least good codebase standards on what parts of C++ you will use. I’ve personally not had any issues programming in C++ but that’s probably because I’ve never done anything at any scale whatsoever.

I don’t have a strong opinion on lower level languages since I work in garbage collected languages but I’ve heard good things about Zig, heard Rust in slow-mo development with a steep learning curve but very robust, C is nice and simple but lacks modern features.

TL;DR C++ devs would kill to get something like cargo in Rust, not because it’s a package manager but because it’s a standard for sharing code and managing compatability. If that’s not an issue for you C++ is a solid language like any other.
