Having a heated discussion about C++'s const, and how I think it's silly formalism and simply gets in the way of quickly implementing systems, and it's a bit,

I just found out about the SQlite code of ethics, and now I'm feeling bad about ever recommending that database to anyone. https://www.sqlite.org/codeofethics.html

EDIT: this is a gag, I know you don't have to follow this to use it, I just find it impossibly cringe (and not the bad-good kind of cringe) to find this sitting like a turd in the middle of my favorite solve for SQL DB problems.

As someone who essentially went indie because of Indie Game The Movie, this is a sorta heartbreaking read: https://www.polygon.com/24162580/indie-game-the-movie-rewatch-fez-braid-super-meat-boy #GameDev #IndieGame

I wonder this every time I look up at my adblocker in the GMail tab:

how on earth is Google serving (well, failing to lol) over a thousand gmail ads in a single workday?

I don't even understand where these things would be. Is the count accurate? I could of course turn adblock off and see, but. Lol. No.

Once again: folks should probably consider switching to Firefox. Especially if you, I don't know, rely on ad-blocking to navigate our glutted-as-shit modern internet, for instance?

Right, ok, so in the year of our lord 2024, in Windows 10 (or 11 I guess), does anyone know

how the fuck you're supposed to type an emdash or a trademark symbol, without either using the emoji keyboard for a TM, or copy-pasting it in from elsewhere?

alt+ doesn't work anymore, it hasn't for years, aaaaaaaa (also I don't have 10key, who has the desk space for that anymore)

Ok indies (and I'm looking especially at you Death's Door)

look, screen shake is great, but if I'm struggling with a boss because I can't see what's going on, turn off all your FX, and then beat the boss without taking a hit,

That's too much juice, let some of the juice out, be like 20% less juicy

Jeez, this is Unreal Engine 5's 9-slicing implementation?? This is so awful, good god. I didn't think you could screw this up...

EDIT: thanks all! Got a TON of great replies and book recs

So, #history question: I was taught that industrialization/urbanization, the move from farming communities into cities, happened because it provided a higher standard of living, no more starvation etc.

I'm pretty sure that was bullshit, given everything else I've read about the life of say, bakers in cities (and those who relied on their literal singular Daily Bread). Or how many holidays a Christian peasant apparently got.

How did that actually go down? Was urbanization better at first and only got so bad after? Was it because they were coming out of like, the black death or something? Just times were changing?
