Had similar experiences. Had the Apple Store replace laptop keyboards, battery , harddrives, motherboards etc. all completely for free. Macs also hold their value really well. It's an investment and for some people, it's worth it.

Note that you only get this service if you continuously pay for Apple Care, so he already paid $200/yr for 8 years ($1600 total) for the 1/10000 chance to maybe get his laptop replaced (with all data lost) if an incompetent repair tech destroys it.

legally they only have to compensate you for the replacement cost, which is maybe £200

i remember taking a 233mhz bondi blue imac out of the dumpster at the school and with some soldered resistors it was running 400mhz. even doubled up with 64mb of ram it could not play a youtube video when youtube came out. the halo demo wouldnt run, and i realized it was pretty difficult to find any other games to play even after installing osx 10.2. pretty useless thing from a forgettable era, but kudos to the marketing i guess

Why normie goy-golem cattle prefer centralized services? Why do they use Reddit instead of Lemmy? Why do they use Xitter instead of Mastodon? Why do they use Instagram instead of Pixelfed?

because all these "alternatives" suck ass. they are unreliable, boring, slow, have no original content, run by ideological zealots (no matter if mastodon or gab).

they suck. they are trying to copy big tech, but they cut out everything what makes big tech platforms entertaining and interesting. and this is the result.

I'm attending school for learning a language. What I've been doing is just plugging the textbooks into ChatGPT and having him make me super passages based off of the lessons that I can listen and read to.

I'm also planning to add TTS to my Anki vocab flashcards, and also plan on making chatgpt generate Sentence based Anki flashcards. I'm also thinking of having him make comprehensible input style passages for the lessons in my school, so 1-2 lessons ahead would be the unknowns.

I have a friend who spent his youth in linguistics academia and knows everything about linguistics down to a science and plan on consulting him what I should do as well

Other ideas off the top of my head are things like browser extensions that can auto generate Anki decks for vocab

After Maduro got a free ticket to New York, what are the chances that the Iranian rulers changed all their locks?
Plot twist: all the new locks were sold by a straw company and made in Tel Aviv!

what do you guys think will be the next big programming language? like is rust going to replace c++? is something new going to come along?

away from opinions on language taste and technical merit. and away from what used to be the usual growing challenges in the way of getting to the mainstream. i think the likes of rust got lucky their ecosystem got relatively established before slop spam started flooding in. so you can trivially distinguish between crate A and B that supposedly does Foo based on age and number of dependants before needing to dig deeper.
but how do you do that with an ecosystem that will need to bootstrap from scratch in the slop age? over-centralization (a la big-std) or anti-slop measures will backfire, as "smart" sloppers will develop ways to slip through, and you get all the downsides of the former if you go with it.
to make matters worse, there are those who embrace the slop, and even actively and openly use it in developing their languages and language implementations (and that would obviously follow to the ecosystem). and this specific trend is just starting.
(this comment is something i wanted to develop into a sort of a blog post full of examples i came across, with some usual peppered faux intellectualism ;);) that tickles some dev circles right. but i know i will be too lazy and bored to ever complete that.)

>>107892904
Languages like Rust take so much time to become relevant you could have foresee it decade ago. There is nothing of sort being worked on, zig/jai/beef are memes, carbon will probably be killed before it gets released, etc.
There maybe some new scripting language like Go pop up in a span of year or two, but these come and go and do not really matter until they have 10+ years worth of libraries in their repos.

Here's a maths approach to a 'natural' looking terrain that I like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFld4EBO2RE

Honestly though based on the questions you are asking, unless you are a genius (you're clearly not), just play a lot of games and spend a lot of time programming. As in 10000s of hours of each if you want to turn this into a real project vs a passing interest. Creating something new as described requires transforming prior decades of CS knowledge. AI maybe is a shortcut tho?

How the fuck is a 1998 game capable of generating collisions for any terrain and it just works on super old hardware?
Meanwhile Godot's trimesh is so slow it cannot even run smoothly on modern hardware (and also broken since version 4), while anything other than trimesh will cause the player to literally fall through the stage?

Can someone explain this?

>1998
You had to have actual talent back then to work on a product like that. You couldn't spend two weeks in a React boot camp and expect to understand how to create performant games that are graphic intensive.

Don't get me wrong I am not defending Godot but I believe the "physics" were hard coded and very specific to each situation in Mario 64.

There is only much older version before fork. I only have .apk of pre-last forked version from ponyfucker. No other app was this lightweight and comfy to use.

The screensavers in xscreensavers are not the issue, the logon menu is the issue.

ChatGPT is like a supergenius who is giving you a rimjob so while you want to know what the secret to the universe, he is busy licking your ass, so you have to tell it "please, don't lick my ass, what is the secret to the universe?" and you know it can give you the answer but it goes back to tonguing your asshole and it doesn't even feel good at this point
