You’ve immediately lost credibility.

Sounds like Vermont gas prices are going up. That’s what happened in Seattle when similar legislation was passed.

EDIT: Just to be clear, I wasn’t making any value judgements in my original comment. Of course it’s not fun to pay more for gas, though I’m happy to do it if the money actually goes to green energy initiatives. Maybe it’s obvious to some people, but it seems somewhat deceptive to say that oil companies would be punished when really it is just a cost passed on to the consumer. This legislation won’t affect profits.

I’ve been a professional programmer for 10 years. While it’s possible to moonlight an indie game, it would absolutely consume your life. Hell, even if you do that full time, it’s such a time consuming process you might still feel overworked.

OP, thanks for asking. I feel seen.

1. Using the past tense instead of the subjunctive mood. “What if she was gone?” Nope. It should be “what if she were gone.” People (in the US) seem to get this wrong most of the time, except for a few common phrases like “If I were you, …”.
2. The words “whilst,” “amongst,” and “amidst.” I get that there is a certain history to these words, but I personally never use them as they seem like meaningless alterations. When I hear them, I roll my eyes, but I try not to judge too quickly.
3. “Irregardless”. It’s not a word.
4. “Could care less”. An oldie but a goodie?
5. Overuse of commas. I don’t like seeing them as strictly a way to introduce a pause in speech. Commas have specific grammatical purposes, and using them without such a purpose breaks my expectations as a reader.
6. Confusing “nauseous” and “nauseated”.

Interesting! It’s possible your teacher was trying to keep things simple, especially since most English speakers probably couldn’t tell you what the subjunctive mood is.

I don’t think I learned about the subjunctive mood in Spanish class for 5 years, by which time I was in the 8th grade.

Time to start building Japanese style homes and stop treating them as investments.

As a US citizen, I’m starting to feel like a German during WWII. What the hell am I supposed to do when there is no real opposition to Israel running for president? The two party system has completely fucked the world up.

While on its face this bill seems like a way to counter terrorism, the wise among us see it as just another means of puppeteering a government office. The US is losing its status as a representational democracy for each bill like this one.

Are you kidding me? Clap has some of the best documentation of any crate.

Ah that explains it.

Watching this New York Post propaganda video yesterday was so upsetting. Comments reveal how racism/xenophobia is still very alive in the US.

Say what you want about DI frameworks, but if I have to remove another fucking global variable so I can write a test, I’m going to cut a bitch.

I know it’s not for everyone, but creating your own nix derivation for software that doesn’t exist yet on nixpikgs is not terribly difficult (for most things).

Maybe you should be directing this sentiment at the woman who keeps talking about how she killed her dog.

Can you really call Matrix “fediverse software” if it doesn’t implement ActivityPub and therefore doesn’t federate with the majority of Fediverse instances?

Keep it interesting and tell the audience your dream was about them. Include them in it somehow.

Call me basic, but I have no shortage of new music from Spotify and YouTube. Spotify recommendations plus shared playlists from friends. There are a handful of YT channels that host pretty consistent quality musicians, like NPR Tiny Desk, KEXP, Colors Studios, Zildjian Live.

I haven’t noticed. Of course there is sponsored content in the UI. I haven’t noticed it in the “auto DJ”, though I wouldn’t be surprised if it exists to some extent.

So… dev blames skill issues on language? Classic.

EDIT: For the record, I’m not saying the author is bad at Rust. I’m saying they’re bad at making games and balancing tradeoffs. They keep saying that they don’t like rust because they just want to worry about making a game, not fighting the language. And yet, they seem to continually make decisions that favor performance over ergonomics. Then they whine about how the Rust community is supposedly pressuring them to make bad decisions.

tatterdemalion, 19 days ago

Are you responding to my comment or just speaking stream of consciousness?

tatterdemalion, 19 days ago

Damn, the author sure knows how to ramble. No wonder they can’t make a game with Rust, they’re too busy talking about making a game.

If you’re going to actually give a useful critique, organize your thoughts into a succinct narrative instead of making a giant list of rambling bullet points.
