  • Elon Musk will be deposed along with DOGE staffers over USAID dismantling

  • The alternative is a literal Nazi posting racist cartoon depicting Obama as monkey, not to mention a few murders here and there, and a promise to deploy armed Gestapo to watch the election. But worry not. You prople did very well not woting for a weak candidate.

    Alas, you have a strong one now.

  • If you’d replace the word ‘flattened’ with the specific term ‘unwrapped’ it’s starting to make even more sense.

  • My Life Is a Lie: How a Broken Benchmark Broke America

    Jump

  • Housing prices (one of the leading drivers of real inflation) is excluded from CPI and inflation coefficient because real estate market is volatile and housing is deemed investment asset rather than a consumer good.

    This is why we have 2-3% inflation across the Western world and generally unaffordable housing there.

  • Conveniently you forgot to mention a short list of terrorist groups financed by Iran.

    Here you go

    1. Hezbollah (Lebanon) – Iran’s most heavily backed proxy; receives funding, weapons, and training. Operates militarily and politically in Lebanon; hostile to Israel.
    2. Hamas (Gaza) – Though Sunni, Iran supports Hamas with weapons and funds due to shared anti-Israel stance.
    3. Palestinian Islamic Jihad (Gaza/West Bank) – More directly aligned with Iran than Hamas; receives significant Iranian support.
    4. Houthis (Ansar Allah, Yemen) – Iran supplies weapons, intelligence, and training to Houthis in their fight against the Saudi-led coalition.
    5. Kata’ib Hezbollah (Iraq) – Iraqi Shi’a militia backed by Iran; part of the Popular Mobilization Forces; responsible for attacks on U.S. personnel.
    6. Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq (Iraq) – Another Iran-backed Shi’a militia operating in Iraq; heavily involved in sectarian violence.
    7. Harakat al-Nujaba (Iraq/Syria) – Shi’a militia supported by IRGC; operates in Iraq and Syria.
    8. Fatemiyoun Division (Afghan Shi’a fighters) – Recruited and trained by Iran to fight in Syria.
    9. Zeynabiyoun Brigade (Pakistani Shi’a fighters) – Similar to Fatemiyoun; deployed in Syria under Iranian command.

  • The meaning of this

  • Revolutionary technologies of the '80 make me appreciate modern programming languages and especially tooling much more.

  • The meaning of this

    Jump

  • In general, 'classes' declarations were done with macro. I don't remember the exact code — something akin to

     
            BEGIN_CLASS(A, Parent);
    CLASS_MEMBER(a...)
    END_CLASS();

    The project had started before C++ existed, and the switch would be too costly. It's not just OOP part, also reflection mechanism with bindings to the homemade scripting language, and multi-platform UI library. It was a gem of its time.

  • The meaning of this

    Jump

  • I was working on a C code base with classes, inheritance, and polymorphism, all done by hands and macros.

    Something like 

     
            typedef struct s_some_class {
        void (*method)(this *s_some_class);
    } t_some_class;

    Overall, learning C was the best enabler in my whole career. For instance I was learning Python by tinkering with CPython VM, so when I see these ‘WAT’ quircks I know exactly what’s up.

  • What’s an unspoken rule that absolutely everyone should know, but most people clearly don’t?

  • $80 for Borderlands 4 too costly? Randy Pitchford says, "If you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen"

    Jump

  • While working on Borderlands 3, the team was severely underpaid. People started quitting, so Randy promised them an “unprecedented company profit-sharing bonus model.” That never got paid—he blamed “higher-than-anticipated development costs and sales not meeting projections.” Borderlands 3 went GOTY, a few dozens millions copies sold. Randy secured a $12M executive bonus for himself. When staff expressed dissatisfaction, Pitchford told them they were free to quit. This was in the middle of the pandemic, and the job market was absolute crap.

  • Russia had no significant gains over the last years with half a million casualties (KIA, MIA, lost limbs, war prisoners), the logistics is crumbling — they use donkeys, the economy and demographic are in the toilet but Russia is extremely good at spreading propaganda. So much so that the US admin is parroting it and putting pressure on Ukraine.
