6 hours of Dark Souls 3 co-op later, I'm glad I set up this discord. If you're having trouble with a #DarkSouls game or you just want someone to co-op along with you, come join. https://discord.gg/9ka3Pnd

The "no true Scotsman" fallacy is...
... the mistaken belief that there exists no true Scotsman.
In fact, at any give time, there are between one and three of them.
...
However, prior to c++11, other Scotsmen were implicitly convertible to bool, resulting in additional ambiguity.
...
Discussion is currently ongoing on replacing the existing implementation defined collection with a single canonical Scotsman, declared constexpr, in the upcoming c++20 standard. 🤔
Lottie also says good morning

ranting about C [3/?]
I think that last paragrap in the article is so important.
Parallelism is easy. It's so easy. It's so so easy. But it's unapproachably difficult in C and the languages directly based on C
ranting about C [2/?]
but it's not. C being taught in universities as a default language is absolutely disasterous for Computing as a field - it's an overly complex, difficult language that makes things hard, and is only fast because IT KEEPS BEING USED WHEN IT SHOULDN'T BE
it's from 50 years ago, and yet people treat it like it's some magical unicorn which we can never approach or criticise or improve.
and I'm sick of that attitude.
I'm sick of people telling me that "nothing's as fast as C"
ranting about C [1/?]
this is a really important thing about programming that I think a lot of people in Computer Science need to actually read and wrap their heads around:

C has this reputation as being a fast, low-level language, and I've heard so many C programmers say that the only way to make things fast is to use C or a language like C (because it's "low level")

The C stands for Cthulhu

before i go to bed, important - tapas, a popular comic strip site, is trying to get ppl to sign up to do 6 - 9 month 600+ panel full color comics with no benefits, unknown pay and "joint ownership", i.e. they own your comic and you can't do anything with it https://twitter.com/melgillman/status/1000108747103105024?s=19
not the first time tapas has done shady things if you remember the "right to first refusal" thing they tried to add to their t&s
artists, know you're worth better than this
this is a problem because I actually *need* to access windows now
