No, thanks! I'd instead like a handful of punctuation and proper formatting, for instance:

500 non-gaming PC because your ps5 isn’t a useful alternative 500 ps5 650 ps5 pro 4 years in 720 for PlayStation online basic at 10 per month

With no commas, periods, or maybe a dollar sign before the numbers, if I didn't know you were making a price comparison, it would just seem you're just throwing a bunch of numbers around without making any sense.

I just imagined the set of countable ordinals, and there's a universe where I'm right

Reading this gave me a headache

So old school of you to play 1.5 instead of 1.6

Freeman's mind is youtube gold. I can't play half-life without imagining gordon being a sociopath asshole.

I mean, just because you implemented something in a low level lang, it doesn't mean you're gonna have the fastest implementation. Even in high level langs, there's usually heavy optimization involved in things that are done all the time (e.g. web servers)

NTA. Your PS4, your rules.

A vibe programmer that built a palm-sized fusion reactor in a cave over the course of 3 months with a single companion? Perfectly respectable to me. And he probably made his own AI too :)

I've always imagined peak programming as building up from low level languages, putting on some layers of abstraction and automatization written by yourself, and end up writing some trivial commands to produce very interesting outputs... Who knows? Maybe throwing around some holograms and voice-commands asking for nonsense. It doesn't get much more vibey than that.

Programming in vim and emacs does look like that lol.

 

For example: I don't believe in the axiom of choice nor in the continuum hypothesis.

Not stuff like "math is useless" or "people hate math because it's not well taught", those are opinions about math.

I'll start: exponentiation should be left-associative, which means a^b should mean b×b×...×b } a times.

 

I have some familiarity with C++, and concepts like compiling and linking static and dynamic libraries, which is what I understand as collections of code that simplify doing certain things.

But then I get confused in certain cases, for example, why is OpenGL considered an API? Why is it necessary to use other libraries like GLAD, freeGLUT or GLFW to interface with OpenGL?

And then other languages have this thing called package managers, like pip, node, cargo, and vcpkg for c/c++, where you install these packages that get used like libraries? What's the difference?

Finally the ones I understand the least of are frameworks. I keep hearing the concept of frameworks like Angular for js and a lot of stuff that's too alien for me because I'm still unfamiliar with web development.

So for example, I'm using the raylib library for a small game project I have. I link the .lib or .dll file to my executable file so I know I'm unambiguously using a library. How come there's also Cocos2dx which is a framework? What's the distinction?
