It’s up to the community to make these games go viral. Most games in my library were under 15€ on sale and I don’t think I have a single “AAA” title in there. They are just pricey, require expensive hardware and are most likely all hype. It shouldn’t have been a surprise that most players can’t afford that shit.
To me, this list is just yet another confirmation that game media like the one you mentioned is just paid and unoriginal. They ride a wave to get clicks, that’s it.
It’s about memory management.
In programming terms: allocated memory has to have the data in it that you expect in order for your program to work. The unsafe languages do it by manually ensuring it’s good and doing so mostly at runtime, or just assume the data is valid and write code that looks valid and have somebody check it before the program runs, or do a mix thereof. In all cases, it require a lot of human intervention and because humans are fallible with different skill levels, this fail quite often.
Safe languages are either built on top of unsafe languages that are battle tested and do lots of runtime checks behind the scenes (interpreted languages like python, ruby, javascript, etc.). Then there are languages that check actions at compile time like Rust. They tell you that the memory you’re trying to access can be modified by another part of the code, which might make unexpected changes and that in order to access it, certain conditions have to be met.
In laymans terms: imagine you work at a storage facility (memory) and have to store and retrieve packages. To know where to store and retrieve them, you have a piece of paper with the aisle, shelf, and rack and position on the rack. That’s your pointer. To store something, you have to make space on a rack and put the item there, write down the name of the item (variable) and location on a piece of paper (memory address), and keep it on you.
Imagine keeping all of that in order. You have to make sure you don’t write down the wrong location (off by one error), remove a piece of paper then it’s not valid anymore (dangling reference), remove a piece of paper without removing the item (memory leak), add a piece of paper pointing to something without actually checking what you expect to be there is there and then retrieve it later, and so many other things.
Those are the things unsafe languages allow you to do.
Safe languages either enforce that before doing certain things, you check stuff (runtime checks) or that before you even start doing anything, you plan how you would do, and that plan is checked.
The crazy storage facilities are what most of our world runs on at the moment and there a whole lot of people who love it because it’s simple and they know it. “Just tell the intern to get that box there, I made sure it’ll be fine. Trust me, I’ve been doing it this way for years.” meanwhile somebody gets the wrong medicine because a piece of paper said another one was supposed to be on the shelf. There are a bunch of people who have thought about ways to improve it, implemented, tested it, and are using it to manage their storage facilities.
Have you heard of the unsafe block in rust?
I do my best to block any news regarding the new administration, so this comes at quite a surprise that it was even considered. Always thought NASA was one of the great prides of the country, but it seems like those days are long gone.
Didn’t Nintendo themselves say emulation wasn’t a problem - because they were doing it themselves?
I don’t know of another frontend. You might want to try only office instead.
And devs get an underpowered laptop with 16GB, an i5, and 128GB SSD, that cost less than a quarter of the product manager’s device, because they dared ask for a Linux laptop. It’s an update from a Chromebook, alright! But the business “cares” about excellence 😉
Didn’t you know that C++ programmers are better than compilers at checking code for safety though? And if they aren’t, it’s a skill issue.

AKA not nix/nixos.
What is the connection between your client and server? Is it wireless and going over the router first? Does it work with a direct, wired connection between client and server?
If your connection goes over your router, does your router have a DNS server? What options do you have for DNS config on your router?
Are vcpkg and conan widespread in your experience? Mine has still been majorly “works on my machine with unnamed debian version and unrestricted library version”, which still breaks like 90% of the time.
You don’t want them invading the Android and Java space? 😄
That is indeed a good argument reason. I wish them all the best!
Kinda. They are not very customisable. They are locked down boxes. You can’t run your normal applications on it, control it with a mouse or keyboard, etc.
I’m not sure what would be the point. Isn’t it “just” a PC with Steam OS running on it? Would it be to help people just default to SteamOS?
Thank you for typing all that out. PHP seems to have come a long way (or at least thanks to Laravel). Probably the reason I still encounter projects without Laravel are because there are many old and established PHP projects out there from before whenever it became popular. Probably switching to a new framework is too much work for them (quite understandable), but they have unfortunately majorly tainted my PHP experience.
I’m glad you’re enjoying PHP and have given me another perspective on the subject.
That’s most definitely the wrong tool (discord is not for async) and the other end of the spectrum. Or did you maybe misunderstand him saying “discourse”? That would make much more sense as a mailing list replacement.
Or they were straight up meme’ing.
I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you were responding to another comment, because in response to mind it doesn’t make any sense…
Or if you want to be completely unoriginal like, take a wordlist, pick a random word from it --> tada! You have a name. (what follows ia rant). The list can be an entire dictionary, anime names, movie names, name of mythical gods from wherever in the world, etc.
Then come up with some bullshit explanation that sounds sophisticated for example you randomly picked.
For example, I went to https://randomword.com/ and got “xylary”: “of, like or pertaining to xylem.” No bloody idea why “xylem” is? Yeah, me neither.
noun Botany.
a compound tissue in vascular plants that helps provide support and that conducts water and nutrients upward from the roots, consisting of tracheids, vessels, parenchyma cells, and woody fibers.
Oho, great! It has nothing to do with a big long table index, but let’s make it so! “Xylary is a performant database index. Just like xylem are paramount to performance of plants, xylary is paramount to the performance of queries to your database.” Voilà. The meaning of xylary is botched, but who gives a fuck, it sounds COOL, starts with X, and probably unknown to the majority of the world. So now you can piss off people in the field by polluting searches with your project.
But at least you have a project name bro 😎
Are you trolling or is this the first time asking for help?
Imagine if someone told you their car didn’t work, you asked what they did, and they said “turned the key in the ignition twice and it doesn’t start”. ? No make, no model, no description of sound or recording of the action, no idea when they got the car checked, no photo of the warning lights, nothing. Would that be enough information for you to help?
As @[email protected] said: post configs! What is your OS, what commands did you enter, what are the contents of your yml files, which containers are running, which images are you using, etc. Nobody can help you otherwise.
Add the information to the original post.
