  • If you put yourself in the shoes of the person treating something as political

    That is my usual Modus Operandi, specially because I know what it is like to be treated as nothing more than a meat bag, stripped of it’s humanity. I just think that some cases are taken way too further from what they are actually representing.

    While that is true, I don’t think those people should also be given Carte Blanche to turn everything political.

    I get that they are extremely oppressed, and have all the right to fight against it, but I fail to see where a pirate flag is an Anti-LGBT symbol or a tranphobic icon, as I’ve seen some claim.












  • The problem is that in a flat plane with any amount of thickness, there will be always more mass diagonally than vertically, and it would still require a curve to evenly distribute the mass. I am by no means an expert on the matter, but from what I can recall, the only geometrical shape that allows for it is either a sphere or some complex hyperbolic curve, which is still not a plane.






  • Honestly, given the context of a browser, Javascript’s “Everything is better than crashing” philosophy does not seem too out-of-place. Yes, the website might break, but at least it would be theoretically usable still.

    Yes, a statically typed language would help, but I’d rather not have one that is “these two types are slightly different, fuck you, have a segfault”, but rather one that is slightly more flexible.

    With C, you need to carefully craft your own gun with just iron ingots and a hammer. You will shoot yourself in the foot, but at least you’ll have the knowledge that it was your craftsmanship that led to it.

    With C++, there are already prebuilt guns and tons of modifications that you can combine at will. If you shove it in the right way, you can make a flintlock shoot a 50 cal, but don’t complain when your whole leg gets obliterated.
