I'm pretty sure that if a right winger started bragging about eating beef 3 times a day, you'd enjoy elaborating on the health problems that tgis behavior causes. You would be right to.

Nobody is saying that fapping is the problem, or that getting aroused by imagery is the problem. The problem is a form over-use, over excitement. When one becomes used to cumming to gangbangs or simulated violence, every day, it also desensitizes to the sex he'll likely experience in real life.

So when you're insisting that porn is harmless, you sound exactly like the 3-times-a-day beef guy, a person with an extreme black vs white view of the world.

As someone who grew up in a shitty rural town, and managed to improve his lot by learning to program, I have to wonder how many of those people who miss the old times were born to lots of money.

Let's say I enjoyed a film and want to watch similar films, reddit searches have proven to be one of my more helpful tools, because many cases, what I want is the help of similarily minded people.

You call it echo chamber, I call it collaborative filtering. As long as you make sure to only use it for matters of taste and not as a research tool or a news source, it's quite good.

Looks like there's about 2-4 powerstone games in fightcade per day: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fightcade.com%2Fgame...

Though I'd guess they're 1v1

If you like old games, try fightcade. Also, curious, which games do you like?

It's kinda weird. On one hand, fighting games seem to become more popular. On the other hand, their complexity is being reduced. Take a look at Guilty Gear Accent Core R vs the Guilty Gear Strive, and you'll see how games are being slowed down and simplified for the common crowd. DBFZ has DLCs with stronger character that you have to pay for.

Sadly, everyone needs to make money. I kinda hope we'll see some interesting indie fighters someday.

It would be interesting if someone implements lookahead as well. Basically lookahead is a way to cut local lag. I.e. let's say that when you press you keyboard, there's a 3-frame lag until it gets to the game engine, lookahead has a game engine that can run a 3-depth tree of all possible keypresses, and when it gets a key press from you, the game assumes that you actually did it 3-frames before.

If someone implements this, it might improve balance even further across different operating systems, graphical settings, and input devices. However, I'm not sure if it's realistic to do in modern games. Fightcade supports it for older games though.

I'm not sure if I understand. Many fighting game players, I included, spent hours in training mode, before even playing in versus. You get bored of the genre in 10 minutes, and yet you claim that we're the ones with a short attention span?

I bet that many supporters of the original Nazi party, if taken out of context of history, would say things like "it's enough to deport the Jews" or
"all I want is a country clean of refugees".

What made these people into Nazis was that when the camps happened, they just said "oh well, not my problem".

How many of the people accused of Nazism today would also say that if camps reopened?

Forth code was supposedly smaller than C code back in the days where code size actually mattered. Guess that could have improved cache access or whatever. However in terms of raw computation Forth, to my knowledge, was considered slower than C, albeit not by much (about 10% I think?)

If I had infinite money, good chance I'd keep working to hear my boss saying how great I am as well as to do a creative hobby that I already enjoy and am just accidently getting paid for.

I admit, I might be a lucky minority though.

You're completely right. Also, Chess is a bad game because the board allows you to move every unit in any way and even out of turn, instead of enforcing the game's rules. If someone is moving pieces "illegally", he should not be banned from play as long as he is using a board he bought, as he is simply using the chess board he bought and legally owns in whatever way he wants. /s

I don't consider my fear paralyzing though. I get work done, I get work done that's impossible to get done in Python/Java/whatever's limitations (slowness, lack of libraries, non-maintainability, lack of good typing. However, I also constantly feel that there's room for improvement in the C/C++, we're far from the pinnacle.

How about people who are both? I've been programming in C and C++ for years now, and the older I get, the more fearful I become and, unless the code is a very critical path, fill it with asserts, smart pointers, stronger types, and anything else that I can use to protect myself against C's overly permissive semantics.

I don't know about Rust, but from the little I've read, it seems to do default to these asserts, but still allowing "unsafe" code to be declared and run as fast as C.

In that case, I can really understand the people that want to move to Rust. Frankly, the only thing deterring me from doing so are old age, lack of jobs, and rumours of shitty tooling and compatibility breakage

Ashkenazi Jews also have higher disposition for depression and weird diseases, there's a joke that says Ashkenazis live either until 60 or until 90.

Also, right now, in Israel, Ashkenazis have stopped being the majority due to not procreating a lot.

I'm really not sure if what Ashkenazi Jews did was that smart.
