Inspiring to see. Well done!
- Comment on Minimum wage isn't survivable anymore 3 days ago:
the more poor you are the more likely you are to serve them
I am getting tired of waiting for people to realize what’s in the post and finally take up to pitchforks. That’s not rocket science, come on
- Comment on Forty hours, one life... 1 week ago:
Nah. There is a difference between content of the work and how its value is used. Do I think some bastards well deserve to die and society has been crazy for ages now? Yeah. Do I hate doing my job for it? No
- Comment on Forty hours, one life... 1 week ago:
So “never take a job you hate, unless absolutely needed for reasons” is a good advice

Each of them
- Comment on Almost 38 & This Is Where I'm At Now 1 week ago:
Let me chime in with a simple question: what temperature and humidity should books be stored at? How many copies of one book do we need to have in a university library to last for ten years? Do we rotate books on the shelves with ones in a storing room elsewhere and if yes, then on what schedule? How do we keep track of what books are where and need what? How do we arrange everything that needs to be done? How is keeping a library of 1k books different from 100k books? How to get prepared for expansion of library? Etc. etc. etc. None of those is a trivial matter

Some of us are the same teenagers still, just the body is not able to withstand everything as easily as it could before
- Comment on Never Gonna Give You Up 3 weeks ago:
Cause you are young!
- Comment on Doesn't add up 5 weeks ago:
True. I have been catching myself trusting big and familiar name over something new for years now. And then I remember that the bigger the name, the more their interests are against mine, and things become way trickier
- Comment on Three developers' different philosophies on difficulty for their games 1 month ago:
Thank you, now I think I’ll have to try sekiro. For Elden Ring there is a way out of the “learn timings” chore: go hard into defence, and there will only be a couple of boss strikes that can take you down, or go into insane damage increase and just evaporate everything (counter points to this: neither is to my liking and also neither is going to happen on first play-through for most people), but that is supposed to be the “best as of now” iteration. Need to see what was before it

So, “I’ve tried to build me a sandcastle out of other people’s thoughts, emotions and actions and failed miserably”
True, who could ever see how that would go, except any sane person
- Comment on Someone should really develop this idea 1 month ago:
Make more railroads and trains, duh. Still doesn’t cover areas where trains simply can’t go, which is where air transport comes in
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
6+ years dev cycles is something I am comfortable with, because I want something done well, and if it’s something big enough (like Cyberpunk 2077 or Baldur’s Gate), then of course it will take a long time, even with big command
But I still haven’t figured out another end of such a deal: how to keep all the command members alive, fed and comfortable for this long time? Buying a game once, even multiplied by whatever-count-of-copies-they-have-sold-for-now, doesn’t give a guarantee that all those people have enough money to just keep creating something exciting for as long as it takes
- Comment on Killing ownership is the method, killing the secondary market is the objective. 2 months ago:
Thank you for the insight. I had no clue about the news on my own
- Comment on Finally an explanation 2 months ago:
Yes, and?
- Comment on Finally an explanation 2 months ago:
You did not get what I said, but I am willing to help you this time:
know of people who happen to be raised outside of society, e.g. in jungles? Can’t talk to them about rights and stuff, but human they are. Also, you and me on our day 1 on this planet: did any of us open our eyes and think “hey, I have rights” ?
- Comment on Finally an explanation 2 months ago:
Yes, and unless I am inhumane myself that will go on to hunt me long after the fact. This knife cuts both ways
- Comment on Finally an explanation 2 months ago:
Granting someone human rights IS NOT tolerance
It IS bullshit. No one ever is born with the notion of human rights and all the crap, but some creatures are born human nonetheless. Which is why
And it’s not high road shit
It actually is. I can agree not to kill someone unless they have killed or caused comparable harm, but not after. Once someone has breached social contract of decent treatment of others - they are not protected by it in my eyes anymore. Yes, it makes me capable of terrible things. No, I am not giving up that capability just for an idea that “I am good and civilized, unlike others”
- Comment on Finally an explanation 2 months ago:
Only thing is… how does anyone survive without seeing there are no absu-fucking-lutely-good or absu-fucking-lutely-bad people who never ever did anything bad/good respectively?
Doesn’t mean I would let just anyone live, but does mean that none of this good/bad nonsense is actually real. Guess not enough people have been kicked by a swing
- Comment on The Real Purpose of Wealth 💸 2 months ago:
Yup. The further it goes, the more catastrophic “boom” will follow
- Comment on The Real Purpose of Wealth 💸 2 months ago:
I wouldn’t be surprised at all
- Comment on The Real Purpose of Wealth 💸 2 months ago:
May be we do. One thing that has been stuck in my head for a long while: I have something to lose, and I have people to care about, same as many others. So I am not running around killing every bastard. But - there are people who have nothing to lose, no family etc. - what about them?
The answer may be quite simple: even when they do punish some bastards, I do not get to hear about this, because guess who controls the media. Yes, it doesn’t cover “haven’t heard anything like it at all” - but making it “almost didn’t hear about it” for me is definitely possible

Uh-oh. Now I am starting to understand just how massively things are fucked there

- Comment on Damn straight! 3 months ago:
Exactly my feelings. Software dev, get paid more than many people who actually keep others alive, healthy, educated and comfortable. This is not how things should be

Damn good. Now I know how to name a language if I ever try to make one

Gave me an idea. I will now be waiting for Rust++

Why did you have to hurt me like this

Wholeheartedly agree. We may not get to sit in the shadow of trees we plant, but it won’t stop us from planting them

My bad, I have misread you. Feels good to see I am not alone in this, let the time be kind to you
