Not necessarily.
They’re a basic data structure used everywhere, most notably with command arguments ( $@ ) and can make shell scripts a viable option for many simple tasks if their syntax makes sense and you don’t have to wonder how their expansion works every time you see one being used.
Zsh, because unlike Bash using arrays in Zsh doesn’t make me want to perform percussive maintenance on the nearest Von-Neumann machine
Microsoft is definitely the corpoest of them all.
Probably not the worst corpo, likely even, but out of the corpos, they are the most corpo corpo of any corpo.
They say 2 wrongs don’t make a right, but 3 rights sure make a left
Lost access to your email? Nuh uh.
With the last two big things I’ve heard about (Yuzu and… Dolphin, I think?) they were legally in the right, but at least where I live there is absolutely no way to spin a recompiler + asset extractor as something illegal - they can’t even claim the developers are circumventing DRM, because OOT and MM didn’t have any.
Though, I would not be surprised if there’s something in US law that can be exploited for this.
Ship Of Harkinian (and similar projects) have kept gping for a long time, and they don’t do anything remotely illegal either
I don’t think references are variables: you can’t modify them, and AFAIR you can’t have pointers to them, with the possible but unlikely exception of non-static member references.
Hot take: A scripting language is a programming language whose execution starts from the beginning of the file | stream.
They’re rubber-duck debugging
Not just edited files, edited save files if the headline is to be trusted
It’s not the case with this meme, but in C++ template definitions have to be defined in the headers if they’re not full template specializations
If that ever happens I’ll become both SCP-096 and SCP-096-1
Muldraugh? I guess it has to be somewhat small, it sure feels like it when it’s full of zombies
Aren’t files second-class citizens of Android too?
I tried getting BtF bto work but for some reason it’s a constant slow-motion for me, I had to give up and watch some playthrough for the lore
Huh, judging by the fact that X3 and X4 run natively on Linux this surprises me only a bit
… does X4 run natively? idr
X3: Farnham’s Legacy with mods and plots from the Terran Conflict and Albion Prelude.
This is gonna take me more than a week…
I hear X4 without DLCs is barebones, I got them all when Steam discounted them so I wouldn’t know but I think the terran and boron DLCs are pretty important.
Mods? probably a cheat package if you don’t truly hate yourself as long as you only use them when desperate.
How to get into it? You need lots of patience, the game’s learning curve is very steep and other than consooming guides on youtube the only way to learn is to simply play and eventually look up information online when you get stuck - which may be a lot to ask of a game that costs 50€ excluding DLCs.
Perhaps you can try out X3:TC to see if you like how the series works, it came out in 2008 but it costs 16€, only has one paid expansion, and Egosoft published a free DLC in 2021 that is basically an official unofficial patch to the engine.
Following the analogy, what if the screwdriver part was bent by 30° and you had to awkwardly turn the tool while keeping it tilted - but there’s also a spring mechanism that attempts to retract the screwdriver you push too hard against the screw?
(all of that for historical reasons, of course)
((or even to discourage you from using the tool?))
