Welcome to Costco… I love you!

There’s no shortage of reasons to not like Linus.

IIRC They were also trying to get kernel devs to let official structure definitions live in Rust instead of C, and got upset when they didn’t want to do that.

This would be caught by ASan and other tools though, which should be part of any review.

I’m doing that. I know several others who have as well.

this is the real based take. may the salt of your enemies enhance the flavor of your meals.

Be that as it may, I personally wouldn’t consider someone to be a very knowledgeable (on how games actually work) game developer if they didn’t at least know how to use things like linear algebra to make a character run and jump naturally and such, even if they’re not coding like that day to day and just using a higher level framework.

You don’t have to agree with me, and I still respect your opinion either way.

Depends entirely on your definition of “gamedev”, IMO. If you’re trying to write a platformer in basic C with no external libraries, you will absolutely need to use algebra/geometry/etc. and maybe even some more advanced things like physics/calculus depending on what features/effects you want to put in your game.

I think you could argue the same point with C++

the number of “women for trump” bumper stickers I see daily are astounding.

To be fair, it’s entirely possible to make the same and very similar mistakes in Rust, too.

you can’t know that

go against their spirit

I think this is more of a failure of the license itself. It’s not a good look to allow something explicitly and then go “no not like that!”

For professionals used to Photoshop, yes it is that bad. People want what’s familiar because they’re used to it and they’re busy or lazy. They don’t want to learn something new.

If GIMP wanted to increase their userbase by a million overnight, they would make it look more like Photoshop.

The problem is they and many current users are huge FOSS zealots and see this kind of thing akin to selling your soul to the devil.

except gaia is one of the largest forums on earth.

they have more subscribers than Apple TV+

it was funny even before the last line though

Please work on your Japanese.

落ち着いてください

I would use Ada or Spark in a heartbeat if there was an easy-to-use, mature cross-platform GUI library for it.

I think eventually if a federated system (or particular server) gets too popular they will just defederate from everyone else and perpetuate the same problem all over again
