@wisplite @Jonathan_Blow Check out @directory_opus

@rqobela Here we go, in no particular order:
Pascal, Basic (multiple flavors), Perl, ColdFusion, Prolog, Perl, Lisp, ActionScript, PHP, Java, JavaScript, COBOL, Clipper and dBase III
It’s weird to remember a few were meant to kill/replace C/C++ yet they’re still going strong

@CharlieMQV @cmuratori I’m interested in the beta, could I give it a try?

[Felipe Guedes @Zoc]

@Stickman_News @cremieuxrecueil How would you hire international talent if SAT starts to be one of your requirements?

[Felipe Guedes @Zoc]

@gong_zw @bxllyville Sup?

[Felipe Guedes @Zoc]

@voxagonlabs Ah, brilliant, thank you :)

[Felipe Guedes @Zoc]

@voxagonlabs Could you elaborate more on this? I’d like to learn about it :)

[Felipe Guedes @Zoc]

@Jonathan_Blow Since everyone seems to be recommending another file manager, @directory_opus is a nice one I haven’t seen mentioned here :)

[Casey Muratori @cmuratori]

A) Yes
B) Myself and others have been sounding this alarm for over a decade
C) Many factors are at play, including an improperly trained workforce, monopoly business effects, and widespread adoption and standardization of low-quality practices, languages, platforms and protocols

[Cory Doctorow NO LONGER ON TWIT TER @doctorow]

Here's a fun AI story: a security researcher noticed that large companies' AI-authored source-code repeatedly referenced a nonexistent library (an AI "hallucination"), so he created a (defanged) malicious library with that name and uploaded it.

Yeah-yea, Linked Lists are bad for performance (on the contemporary hardware), you should probably not use them today, but if you don't know how to implement them and why you should not use them today your knowledge of CS is lacking, sorry. Don't use that as an excuse.

[Felipe Guedes @Zoc]

@seanbax Wouldn’t that be unsafe / prone to more issues?

[Felipe Guedes @Zoc]

Tempos difíceis para se trabalhar na indústria de jogos :(
#layoffs

[Felipe Guedes @Zoc]

@seanbax As for the documentation/proposal, you will need to write one from scratch. (Almost) No one from the committee will read documentation for another language, since they’re interested in C++ and not another language.
You can add references and footnotes to the document ofc :)

[Felipe Guedes @Zoc]

@seanbax Fwiw your work is extremely valuable and I’m cheering for you
I do believe that having a solid proof of concept will allow this to feature expand further, and I agree having it as optional is a must

Fulano, 36 anos, morando na casa dos pais, carro dado pela família e que só fala de "academia e bomba" quer me ensinar como devo gastar meu salário no supermercado de um país que ele nunca visitou e diz que a vida fora do Brasil é molezinha, difícil é continuar lá

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Felipe Guedes @Zoc]

Acabei de ver uma vaga para “Engenheiro de C++” para trabalhar em jogos no Brasil.
Os requisitos? Abusivos - parecia mais um departamento inteiro do que apenas uma vaga.
O salário? Uma vergonha…
Qualquer um com tais requisitos consegue um super emprego fora do país.
Cuidado!

@RedGabu_ Meu Deus, fico imaginando como seria HAHAHAHAHAHA
