What makes minecraft so flexible in how you can mod the game? The reason it is still holding strong as the highest selling game after 15 years is because of the freedom it offers with modding. You can make an infinite number of new minigames in multiplayer servers. You can make an endless variations of new parkour maps or modpacks that will never feel repetitive. No game comes close in how much you can change the vanilla version to make new stuff. What allows minecraft to have this ability?
>>107649740Optimizing at runtime is not the same as the original bytecode itself having architecture-specific optimizations.Both can be fast, but only one is easy to decompile.
>>107649587today it seems most people watch vanilla but not the case the years ago
>>107648554>There's a good reason why M$ rewrote minecraft in c++.so they could port it to console and print more money. theres your "good reason", bro.
>>107651895Modded content was probably a decent percentage of videos back in 2011-2014, but I don't know that it was ever dominant. Custom maps were also a huge thing.Survival vanilla was harder to pull off a long running series of back then (fewer things to work with, and the game itself was harder), so alternating it with mods and maps was good to mix things up. Still, vanilla was king.
>>107652063There was definitely a period in 2014 where vanilla and adventure maps were borderline dead and huge FTB packs made up the majority of what people watched and talked about, if not played. You needed an absolute beast of a machine to play those packs, they're still temperamental even on hardware 10 years newer. That was always the main drawback. I imagine that if there was a more efficient real modding engine that could actually change functionality properly instead of stacking mappings on mappings on mappings all in RAM only it would have been even bigger.

Hi guys! Newbie to Linux here… erm what’s the better choice here x11 or Wayland? Mint or Ubuntu? Or Nobara or Pika? I’m so lost!!! If only there was a worthwhile choice to be made here for me.

I once tried to learn C++ but so many things just sucked:The syntax, headder files, 1000 ways to do the same thing, the ((meta-)meta-) "build" system(s) and overall the feeling of the language:It is like someone had continuously updated his hobby project without concerning other users.I want to learn a modern language instead and chose Zig out of Rust or Zig as Rust seemed gay-coded to me.Is it a good decision to learn Zig? Will Zig stay?
>>107651254include basically means paste-the-file-contents-here, so you need some stupid #ifdef constructs around the whole thingartifacts of bygone era
>>107651410The use case is low RAM requirements and now backward compatibility. The compiler is stateless and it treats each translation unit as a unique thing so it can’t cross reference other files. Rust for example is stateless at the crate level but you can’t have crate circular references. The point of stateless at the unit translation level is that it let you build massive million line of code projects on 2 GB of RAM.
>>107648976Header files should be generated by the compiler.
>>107651254Good: it makes builds embarrasingly parallelizable.Bad: and you also need to cache all of them otherwise you do six billion IO ops because you are literally searching files and copypasting them over and over: you don't ifdef your includes, the ifdef is INSIDE the include, which means you are copypasting mountains and mountains of text and then discarding it.Parallelization is useless if you spend the resources on useless work.
>>107645788If you don't actually need C++, learn D, which's kind of like a C++ without the pozz.

>>107651849It's debatable whether running Mpv, Nsxiv, Xterm!!! as your screenlocker/screensaver is a good idea.It's ironic that it was that Google wrote the best screenlocker for X11. Probably, because they actually needed it to be secure for their developers laptops, although I imagine they all use Wayland nowadays.Also, lmao off at this:>how do i use this>>you don't, at least for now as this hasn't even had a v0.0.0 release, but if you insist be warned i'm still in the process of implementing config options and what is available now in the sample config file is what is available, everything else you'll have to use this almost like suckless software, ie: modifying the source code directly.

It's easier to copy the photos off your iPhone, edit them and post them on social media using macOS, so if that's your use case and you can afford a decent Mac, that's the better option. But it doesn't affect my use case of compiling code, running VMs, etc., and Linux does that better.
I'm seeing all this shit on YT, forums etc. >DDR5 prices at 400% >SSDs are next>you won't be able to afford a PC>Win11 is Satan's anus>AI will replace you, spy on you>you will own nothingThe thing is, for over a decade we have been stuck in this stupid hype-for-new-tech upgrade cycle. Suddenly 4 cores was no longer enough, 16 gigs of RAM not enough, 2TB being the go to size. PeeSeaMastaReis, RGB, wireless. Where are the tech improvements though? Games looks worse and play worse than shit that came out in 2007. People are on fiber now, but webpages still take a few seconds to load. I use my computer the exact same way I used it when it was a big white box, paired with bulky 14'' CRT - watch movies, listen to music, play games, write code. AI is only useful for cutting down time on googling something, but then you still have to check if you can trust it, same goes for code troubleshooting, it's good for finding typos, but terrible for suggesting optimizations (which it does unprompted, and no, that toString() fucking stays!).I'm actually thinking this: all this price hike and shortage isn't the end of the world. It's back to sanity. 4 cores, 8GB, iGPU, 512 SSD isn't shit. It's still going to play music, movies and vidya (still a better machine than I ran Crysis with when it came out). Normie-friendly Linux distros have been a thing since Mandriva and Ubuntu, but now they cover gaming too (Cachy, Bazzite, Nobara).We haven't been progressing for over a decade, yet buying more expensive hardware to have the exact same (or worse) experience. I have a shitty low-tier Thinkpad the sole purpouse of which is to play music, movies and emulate arcade games through Fightcade for when friends visit. That thing is hooked up to a 4K TV and does fine, I use it more than my beefy desktop, just because of the couch-experience. IMO, a GPU or DDR5 stick could cost 10K bucks and it still wouldn't care. Whatever computer you have, hasn't been obsolete since 2015.
>>107648301You're one of the .0001% of people that actually has the time/inclination/patience to do all that stuff.The remaining 99.9999% of the populace will just pay the $1,000/mo for compute access or be forced onto the street and OD on fent
thats because you don't do local AI. this is about taking AI away from ordinary people and only making it available through cloud. you need lots of RAM to run AI locally. they want to take that away from us because its too dangerous to have rando 4chan anons making offensive slop. so this is whats really going on.obviously youre gonna be fine with 16GB if youre not doing local AI.
>>107649974what do you mean people dont have patiencewebdev and gaming is awfully optimized, ever since the micron message you hear gaming studios promising optimization as a counter measure to this nonsense the way you use a computer hasn't changed that much since windows 95, the way you use the internet has changed though, before you had to jump through a lot of hoops and there was some prerequired technical knowhowthe core of the argument has always been technical literacy aka the solution to every problem we ever had since the DOS daysin 2003 if you had a 10 year old PC good luck with doing anything useful given the software of the time, the cutoff year was somewhere in 2014-15if you bought a 10 year old laptop you are good from every technical standpoint there is, the only thing that would force you to buy new is if the government required every CPU manufacturer to add some TPM type chip for just basically connect to the internet or if we had some material breakthrough and a new generation of moors law popped up
>>107648301Oy vey. Very good op I think.
>>107650362This.I combine this sentiment with the idea that if anything, they will introduce CVEs that make any non cloud based, locked down piece of shit, forced VM to be unusable on the modern Internet.But yeah fuck you OP, I wanted a computer with 64 gigs of RAM like Terry fuckin Davis since I love VMs and shit like that.Now I can't, and have to deal with scalpers for gay shit like 32 gigs of RAM in bundled Zoomer slop "Gaming" rigs.Beyond gay.

>>107649011Yeah bro he should change the tarrif to 1000% that way the ram is $50000 instead of $500China is winning either way and it's because retarded Dems were too busy importing illegals, virtue signaling for trannies, and fraudulently giving billions of tax money to foreign nations instead of focusing on strengthen independent laborers being the union it was supposed to be, instead of saying AI is fake and gay, shoulda been lobbying on tax the data centers and the AI companies more to subsidize people that will be laid off with the overuse of AI.
>>107649011Good, this is sensible given the current DRAM and NAND crisis.But creating a problem and then partially rolling back what you did is not as praise worthy as you might think.
>>107649011>The US announcesso, actual tariff rate between now and 2027 will be *anyone$ gue$$*
I like how a stick of RAM costs 2000 bucks now.Thank you, anons. Thank you for this shit.I guess I will never build another computer. But that's they you guys planned it. First you make people dependent on tech, then you remove the tech.also fuck you with the new, more tedious captcha.Everything goes in the wrong direction. Scan your face and pay 2k to post on 4chan am I right?
