Ah, r/unpopularopinion one of the subs I almost never visited cause 90% of the stuff on there was just plain stupid.

For my part, I don’t think there’s a large gulf between racist opinions on the two platforms, just on decorum regarding slurs.

Yeah. I’d probably make the argument that 4chan is just open about the racism while other platforms like reddit have at least some enforcement leading to it being less blatant.

I mean like most of us I came from Reddit. If I knew which sub the post was in I’d have a pretty solid opinion but as is I’d assume they probably got downvoted to hell for some unfair reason. Happened to anyone active on occasion so it wouldn’t be surprising. Since it has so many up votes I can’t imagine, without the context of the particular sub, that they weren’t just getting piled on.

I’m sure as long as you aren’t a Jew or one of those very icky brown people 4chan is very welcoming

And the entire stack trace

Wow, that looks like a nightmare

He is not

Yep that’s why I refuse to use standard libraries. It just makes my code too complicated…

Wealth issue (not really shits cheap)

Yup, libraries should usually let the consumer chose what to do with an error, not crash the program without a choice in the matter. The only real exception is performance critical low level code such as the core of a graphics or audio driver. Though in those cases crashing also often isn’t an option, you just power through and hope things aren’t too screwed up.

Semantic whitespace is awful because whitespace (something that you can’t actually see) has meaning in how the program runs. Braces { } for scopes gives you the ability to easily tell at a glance where a scope ends. Whitespace doesn’t allow for that. Especially, especially when you can accidentally exit a scope (two new lines in a row with Python) and it’s not actually an error (Pythons global scope). Yeah formatters and linters make this less of an issue but it sucks… Languages with legible symbols for scoping are significantly easier to reason about, see end symbols in Lua.

It’s complicated. Paul isn’t really a good guy, but he’s not really a bad guy either. He’s just a dude. He’s a dude who has limited vision into the future from which he cannot escape. He’s not using his future vision to pick the bad choices he’s trying to pick the best ones he can and the hand he’s dealt kinda just sucks.

It erases the type of what your pointing at. All you have is a memory location, in contrast to int* which is a memory location of an int

Nah bro that’s just the memory leaks, your supposed to force close and reopen it every so often so the OS cleans up after their shitty application

Smart pointers model ownership. Instead of (maybe) a comment telling you if you have to free/delete a returned pointer this information is encoded into the type itself. But that’s not all, this special type even handles the whole deleting part once it goes away.

Since they model ownership you should only use them when ownership should be expressed. Namely something that returns a pointer to a newly allocated thing should be a std::unique_ptr because the Callie has ownership of that memory. If they want to share it (multiple ownership of the object) there’s a cheap conversion to std::shared_ptr.

How about a function that takes in an object cause it wants to look at it? Well that doesn’t have anything to do with ownership so make it a raw pointer, or better yet a reference to avoid nullability.

What about when you’ve got a member function that wants to return a pointer to some memory the object owns? You guessed it baby raw pointer (or again reference if it’ll never be null).

JetBrains might not be my friend but they don’t hold anywhere near the dev tool monopoly Adobe does for artists. Know what happens if JetBrains starts to blow massive ass? I finally sit down and figure out how to get my terminal editor working with my LSP. Yeah I lose some productivity but not as much as I’d lose by using Visual Studio or fuckn Eclipse.

Thanks for well contributing to Lemmy but you sure are quite the annoying character. Now don’t go and abuse your newfound abilities and remove the blocking feature <3

ReVanced is a modded YouTube (and others) app. IE normal YouTube but you fuck with it locally to skirt what got the original Vanced guys. Adblock, OLED black theme same old thing Vanced provided. I’ve used NewPipe very little but I’d summerise a comparison as ReVanced has better user experience (thanks to Google making the app) and you can sign in/get notifications ect

There’s a couple grifters who pretend (or are stupid enough) to think so yes. It’s like the “doctors” the anti vax guys point at

Instance of Vim? Swap buffers fool

Looking at code on somebody else’s screen is entirely missing the point of using tabs over spaces. The entire point is that mine looks like how I want and theirs looks like how they want even though the file is identical. We can each have wildly different tab width and it’ll look wildly different to each of us when we program. That’s again the point.

Code formatters are great! I love them. Using tabs over spaces is objectively a better formatting option. One of my favorite features in code formatters is that they’ll swap out spaces to tabs for you insane people who insist on mashing the space bar to indent.
