  I feel like you’re doing something wrong with the nullables… I’m pretty sure you don’t need to mark up files, you can just enable it on the whole project? I’m not sure about the attributes, you might have a point there, but it just makes sense for value vs reference types IMO, since value types are already implicitly different in terms of nullability.

  But yeah, I can imagine it’s half-baked, since nullable reference types (that’s the name, previously reference types were just nullable by default with no extra features) are a more recent addition to the language, one that wasn’t built with them in mind.

  I feel like Italy might have that one covered, what with all the tortellini, ravioli, and such

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon pregames⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Or maybe what he expected was most likely to let a drunk girl let him go?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you prefer to buy games on Steam or GOG?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Except you might want a client, both to keep your games in one place, and for extra features it can provide (like cloud saves and updates) - and if you’re on Linux, you’re excluded from that kind of stuff on GOG.

  To think some people would instead ridicule others when you can have so much fun together…

  Considering they supposedly cited performance as a reason, they might’ve been about to pull a Cities skylines 2 indeed

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oldest computer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Right, so you consider calculators to be computers too? And I don’t mean the beefy scientific calculators, just simple ones with basic operations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the final boss after you clear Donald Knuth⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I might be wrong, but since “saddened” would express a change towards more sadness, “consistently saddened” would mean I get sad (or more sad?) every time I see that kind of thing. However, my intention is to say more that the saddening is consistent - every time I see something happens, consistently. I’m not permanently sad, but the way the language is changing is usually making me sad.

  I feel like “constantly” might not be appropriate here, but again, I might just not know English well enough myself. To me, constantly would mean unchangingly, meaning I never stop being saddened. In this context, I feel like that means my mood is continuously descending - but instead those are isolated instances of temporary saddening of varying intensity.

  Of course, it’s just a lighthearted comment on a meme, but I’d be happy to learn if my understanding is wrong! And, honestly, I don’t mind this kind of slang and internet speak, but it annoys me to see “literally” lose its meaning and gain the actual opposite meaning, that kind of thing.

  The real fun starts when things move faster than the speed of light, that’s when you get Cherenkov radiation!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the final boss after you clear Donald Knuth⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  literally completely accurate

  I’m consistently saddened by the changing state of the English language 😔

  Mind you, emoji were created in Japan, so a lot of the original ones can be weird to us due to cultural differences.

  Is it AI generated? I don’t know the brand and labels so maybe I’m missing something, but it just looks like a regular edit?

  Or maybe he accreted the mass after collapsing?

  Alternatively, maybe that’s just the weight of his massive ego?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom – Announcement Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Could be because you replied to a random unrelated comment, instead of commenting on the post itself, or because you could’ve just looked it up easily, or maybe people thought you were being snarky somehow (especially since you were replying to somebody)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Falling⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In the same way that earth has gravity that attracts objects, the objects have gravity that attracts earth. See also Newton’s third law, also known as “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” - for the earth to attract something, the earth also has to be attracted with the same force. It’s just that the earth has a lot more mass, so the force barely accelerates it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Even the fish are turning soy 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 I couldn't even edge my skibdi to this one⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the vibrant red lips remind me of his red hair stripe, now that you mention it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨entropy⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The reason entropy is a “force” that dooms things is that once maximum entropy is achieved, there is no energy differential, and with no energy differential you can’t perform any work, life cannot exist, electricity cannot be generated, etc.

  The idea that entropy unstoppably increases predicts that, eventually, all energy will be “spent” and no life can exist - a timer for all sentience in the universe.

  Also, launching probes into space doesn’t increase entropy (to be precise, the act of launching probes uses energy with some inefficiency, so it does increase entropy, just not through the fact that a probe is now in space), because pulling matter away from other matter increases potential gravitational energy. Maximum entropy in this sense would be all matter in the universe clumped together into an inert, uniformly mixed… Clump?

  Also, I’m not a physicist, so I probably got some things wrong, especially terminology, so take this with a grain of salt.

  Oh screw that, that’s an emotional post from somebody sharing their reaction, and I’m fucking STOKED to hear about it, can’t believe I missed the news!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Very understandable, have a nice day⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t forget people are different, misiphonia is a thing - something you consider normal might be absolutely infuriating to be around for some people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let π = 5⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t curvature cause pi to not be a constant? And wouldn’t it be negative curvature that would cause it to be higher than euclidean space?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon's brother hates concrete⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that was the original idea for brutalist buildings, complementing them with plants? I don’t want to look for a source right now though, so take it with a grain of salt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There is one uncleared level remaining in Super Mario Maker, with 18 days to go before the servers shut down⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You need to beat the level to upload it, and I suspect it’s a clear check upload - however, separately, the game tracks first clear and world record after a level is uploaded.

  My understanding is that the goal is to clear every beatable level that doesn’t have a first clear (and some that have been cleared by known hackers, but I think those are all cleared legitimately already)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What a feeling that was⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think compiler optimizations matter much - supposedly the final build was compiled without optimizations, presumably by mistake, and the N64 has very specific hardware which compilers don’t know how to optimize for.

  What we certainly do have are much more powerful machines and software in general, letting you test, analyze and profile code much more easily, as well as vast amounts of freely available information online - I can’t really imagine how they did it back then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What a feeling that was⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Take a look at what Kaze Emanuar is doing with SM64 if you’re curious what the N64 can do with modern software practices ;D

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please Stop⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Git might not count because you can have branches that then merge? But yeah, git is useful, it’s decentralized and distributed, it could be used P2P…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam keeps on winning⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That seems to be incorrect, and quite possibly originating from Tim Sweeney.

  The only thing I found is that steam keys, which (as a publisher/developer) you get from steam without paying, cannot be sold for cheaper off-steam. The reason for that is obvious, since steam doesn’t get their cut on keys, but they still have to provide the support and infrastructure for those users.

  If you have a source on that claim though, I’d love to see it - I tried finding anything else on it once and failed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨makes sense⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It is pretty well optimized. I think it might not be, like, genius-level amazing, but the devs care about performance and worked to improve it.

  In the end though, it’s a game where the entire map (as generated so far) is simulated - I think there’s cases where chunks go to sleep, but it’s not Minecraft’s “stop simulating anything not next to a player”. When combined with players building lots of machines moving many, many items around, you’ll inevitably end up with some serious CPU usage. Not a problem on a decent computer, but I have had friends struggle on weak laptops, even getting dropped as they literally couldn’t keep up with the server.
