And which game was that, if you don’t mind my asking?

This is officially the stupidest response I have ever gotten on a social platform.

I’m pretty sure you have no idea what a kernel does if you’re jumping to user space. It’s very far from meaningless.

I respect that as true, but every console other than XBox is either Linux or BSD based; at a certain point learning to work with alternative platforms is just good business practice.

You can embed scripts in many mainstream distributions of it, and it’s arguable that writing an SQL instruction is in itself writing a concise program for reviewing a database, so it seems logical to me.

Not unheard of. I used to be one.

Jeezis fuq… what was he drinking, gasoline and turpentine??

Yeesh.

Do let me know, if you ever find that article?

Microsoft is killing Windows

FTFY

“People like me”? I’m not the aggressor in this conversation, I’m just not taking angry xenophobic propaganda right now.

You know what, you do that. It isn’t my issue, and computers aren’t for everyone.

That’s entirely unconfirmed hearsay. He’s also been in this industry since FF6, working with a heck of a lot of people, so it would very much be sudden and unusual.

When a court rules on it, I’ll take it seriously.

Coming from New Mexico where you can buy alcohol at a pharmacy and chase your painkillers with it, I think having specific state controlled liquor stores is actually a pretty good idea.

Not a Skyrim fan?

In my dreams, Hideo Kojima, the old Castlevania people, the fired senior writers at BioWare, and now, the old gods of Volition when it was good, are quietly building a studio together somewhere. With Mick Gordon and Jeremy Soule running OSTs.

Never tell a joke, if you don’t think it’s funny.

No disrespect, but i must disagree.

My last experience with WSL, about a month ago on Win 11, had it a far cry from GNU/Linux. They don’t even have a shoe-in for udev yet, and as a multimedia guy, that makes it almost unusable.

Allow me to clarify.

C has for, while, and do-while. That’s it.

Ruby has for, while, do-while, until, rescue, inlined conditionals, optionals, and iterators, for what amounts to the same task; not to mention exceptions (something the C standard has repeated swerved away from, wisely) and lambdas.

I’m not saying that there isn’t a time for Ruby, but if you think C falls into the same category then we’re very much in disagreement.

Of recent features, what exactly makes it better for development?

When you’re first writing a line of code, you should already be thinking about how you might refactor it in the future, and preparing for that.

For me the big issue with Ruby—which admittedly has many fine features I would like to see in other languages—is the lack of a general standard for its operations. There are so many ways to get the same basic logic loop done, it feels like a recipe for either unfollowable code or chaos in programming teams.
