it's not for you it's for game developers to

idk man.

I live in the real world already. It uh. Looks real, idk. I was looking at a truck that uh. Like they use these trucks to cut trees that are damaged in storms. And it was like in the afternoon, so then there were like uh. the shiny thing that is everywhere in the cyberpunk game, this truck was like that. like the phone company uses advanced weather forecasting and they were parked at a gas station last week in preparation for it, which is neat. so wow like cyberpunk right?

I mean, they looked real. The guys working the truck were brown, just like cyberpunk. so wow I guess...

very real!!!

why are so many programming "help" groups like this? like, somebody will specifically opt into helping people, and then get frustrated when they dont do exactly what they expect. it constantly feels like im testing everyone's patience whenever i ask for help and its even harder trying to just learn everything myself, especially considering all the weird semantic differences in both the language itself and guides.

like i can imagine a full script in my head but i wouldnt know how to translate it into the language im currently using. and on the offchance that i *do* get the help needed, usually its just "oh just use the blah function", so its not like i just Dont Know How To Code or anything i just dont know the shit thats specific to the engine, and its not like i can just look it up in a glossary or something because the words can be totally different from language to language, like how "object" in one language can be "entity" in another, and object in *that* language refers to an object in an array or something, so theres just a huge language gap that i cant really cross without the help of others, which sucks because working with others sucks

It's not just programming. In many tech support communities, wherever and whenever you ask about how to do anything out of the ordinary that might deviate just a bit from standard practice, you often get ebussy-tier unhelpful messages from faggots just asking "but why you want to do this?", "you don't want to do that", "you shouldn't do that", "use case?", etc.
>>
>>107640271
I suspect this is because programming is still in some capacity profitable. Electronics is a hyper-commodified shitbucket of an industry, so the only people who bother with it (especially the white peoole) are super passionate and love it as a hobby, and have no problem handholding noobs and explaining everything in clear detail and entertaining their silliness, unlike hysterical bitter codemonkey autists

>Microsoft plans to eliminate every line of C and C++ from the company by 2030.
>Microsoft plans to translate the largest C and C++ systems to Rust.

The rise of Rust and the downward trend of code quality are directly correlated. As populations become less intelligent, they rely more on the crutches built by previous generations. Using Rust is basically admitting that you are incapable of writing memory safe code without a crutch.

like i said, you can derive everything you need to tell rust- from unmodified c code
c++ is something else because youre supposed to use a layer of abstractions
so alot of the information becomes indeed implicit

>>107651221
>C has nothing in common with assembly.
ok, your opinion is invalid then.
im sorry but it is what it is. its trivial to anticipate how the key parts of your assembly will look like, from c code. the compiler then takes care of stuff like register pressure for you
it IS a macro asm. asm, but with a huge chunk of it- automated away

>>107651224
>in C everything is implicit
in the measure that youre not explicitly stating your intent with a specially designed syntax, yes.
but all the information you might need is explicit. unless you work with compiled libraries. but then all bets are off because you then work with asm, not c

granted, theres the pressures from the industry
and other reasons why its not practyical for people to, for instance, write exclusively in c for one whole year, if not more
but thats another discussion

the point remains: it can be done, and its not a matter of innate qualities, but of training

That's called a compiler. Have you ever used an assembler?

nope.
and i kinda dont see how an assembler with macro functions is any different from a compiler, except for the fact its not the whole program that is written in "macros", only select parts of it

You can use better archival media like M-DISC. It's expensive. You have to buy special hardware. And will it really keep the data for centuries as it's intended to? You can do accelerated-aging tests, but who knows?

You can distribute copies widely (perhaps in PAR2 form for extra safety): at your relatives' homes, in a safe deposit box at a bank, buried in a forest, Tahoe-LAFS, Bittorrent (as if your holiday photos are Wikileaks insurance files, kek), MaidSafe, GNUnet, Filecoin, Sia, Storj, cloud services like Amazon S3 with Cross-Region Replication, etc. That reduces risk but doesn't guarantee anything. And if the data is encrypted, how do you preserve the decryption key? Damn.

Also, have you heard of the heat death of the universe? This is a hard problem.

i believe they couldn't make aero work fine in longhorn so they were changing stuff until they restarted everything and Vista got the final aero version that was still demanding on most PCs.

Maybe they also felt they needed to compete more with OSX which felt incredibly elegant and futuristic, and at the time Jobs loved to bully the hell out of Microsoft
>>
>>107651125

jobs baited microsoft with os x
the reason os x was so goated at the time is because forstall and others spent years perfecting NextSTEP and its APIs, and at the end they had an Unix that could run circles around the WinNT kernel. Cocoa is probably still the most pleasant to program desktop API.
>>
>>107651174
NextSTEP worked so good for Jobs it's unbelievable, wish Apple would be that scheming these days. Back then Jobs didn't want to partake in market share wars because affordable PCs were ass. These days they could perfectly build a reasonably priced Mac to start making dents to MS market share.

But now because of the AI wars all those possibilities went to shit
