Not execs, read the OP. The theory is GL got scared of fan reactions to jarjar so he didn’t want to make jarjar that central.

I want an actual real time strategy game. All popular RTSs are actually just about tactics and micro. I mean every SC2 guide will tell you that up to a very high level of play, if you’re just doing more you’ll be more efficient and win regardless of strategy. Why can’t you just set a standing order of “make unit x” or “make unit x while we have gas until we get to 50 of them”? That’s strategy. Having to tab back to a building and manually queue a couple of units every several seconds is just creating busywork for players, but thats what’s necessary and optimal for playing SC2 and most RTS games well

Why should this be at the editor level? There should be a linter that applies all these stylistic formatting changes to all files automatically. If the developer’s own editing tools or personal workflow have a chance to introduce non-standard styles to the codebase, you have a deeper problem.

I listed two examples of things right in my post.

The problem is, in Linux once you know how things work, most things are pretty easy. In Windows, even when you know how things work, if you want to change your system at all you’re fighting the OS the whole way.

For example, in Linux it’s trivial to set up my notifications to be in the bottom middle, except when I’m coding to have them in the top right, with various hotkeys to manage them. Or to have custom window layouts. Or to do anything, every part of the stack is easy to change. On Windows you just get a blob and it assumes everybody wants it to work the same way.

Uhhh it definitely is. I literally have a Linux terminal running on my Android phone.

That’s not merch, that’s the Veil of Veronica. Very significant catholic story/artifact. The story is that when she wiped the blood and sweat off of Jesus his face appeared on the cloth. You’ll find depictions of this in most old catholic churches and many paintings

Exactly, so the people in favor of keeping the fucked up system are part of the problem

Disagree. Most servers and bartenders are in favor of tipping culture and want it to stay this way with zero wages and societally enforced tips.

Yes, the corporations are the enemy, but these other struggling people are on the side of the actual enemy.

Weechat is the only other irc client I recommend

I think both sides are lacking nuance here. If you shit on people getting electric vehicles or just thinking of getting one because that’s not far enough: fuck you. But also, for people that just switched or are thinking of getting one but then see something like this and slam into reverse and say “I’m gonna support ICE cars till the day I die to spite those overly hostile woke liberals”: fuck you too.

People should be able to take the information in a more nuanced way, and should stop swinging from extreme to extreme which has led to the current fucked state of politics

This is the most junior developer comment I’ve seen in a while.

Nobody that’s competent thinks that’s shit is hard. That’s not the point.

The point is, it makes it easy to make mistakes. Somebody might see all of one type of strings, assume that’s the format, and forget to enclose the thing in quotes, causing mysterious bugs years later when a differently created date filters into the system. You might have a regex error, you might split incorrectly, you might make a query that works the wrong way and gives an incorrect aggregate, and none of that is due to lack of skill. It’s due to not knowing it’s the rfc standard, not the iso. It could be due to not even realizing the rfc allows for that or is different.

Software engineering in practice is not about making sure there is at least some way for people to use your library/standard/pattern. It’s about making sure the way to do it that’s most intuitive/obvious is also foolproof, easy, and efficient. Adding the space makes debugging harder and adds footguns which is exactly what good software engineers want to stay away from. Otherwise we’d all be writing in assembly. But since you aren’t, maybe you are the one with a skill issue. Either that or you really misunderstand this field.
