you must be fun at parties

I’m doing that. I know several others who have as well.

you’re just in a different income class. nothing wrong with that.

but people with the money to burn tend to prefer enjoying nicer things, such as personal service, so they pay for it.

he tips his fedora

this is the real based take. may the salt of your enemies enhance the flavor of your meals.

Be that as it may, I personally wouldn’t consider someone to be a very knowledgeable (on how games actually work) game developer if they didn’t at least know how to use things like linear algebra to make a character run and jump naturally and such, even if they’re not coding like that day to day and just using a higher level framework.

You don’t have to agree with me, and I still respect your opinion either way.

Depends entirely on your definition of “gamedev”, IMO. If you’re trying to write a platformer in basic C with no external libraries, you will absolutely need to use algebra/geometry/etc. and maybe even some more advanced things like physics/calculus depending on what features/effects you want to put in your game.

The problem is not everyone agrees on what exactly “editorialized” and “credible” means. You’re making the same arguments they would make against you.

I think you could argue the same point with C++

the number of “women for trump” bumper stickers I see daily are astounding.

To be fair, it’s entirely possible to make the same and very similar mistakes in Rust, too.

you can’t know that

I think that entire comment is actually incorrect. My understanding is that they did not “remove” any maintainers, but actually rejected patches from Russian citizens (because of their employer), and also removed some Russian names from the maintainers list who already have code in the kernel.

yikes.

That doesn’t invalidate my statement though.

freedom TO vs freedom FROM

I was more referring to mainline specifically, otherwise your chances of having many people actually benefit from your changes without a lot of effort is small IMO.

And here I am looking to move away from Linux after they started rejecting contributions for political reasons.

I still don’t think something so important should be beholden to the whims of one company (Linux Foundation) or their country’s laws (USA).

I would strongly prefer to use an operating system that didn’t have this problem. Do any even exist?

except gaia is one of the largest forums on earth.
