doing a system upgrade with one of the package managers in this frankenstein's mess off an operating system that I splodged together
so I expect everything to completely break

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 just got through the tutorial ::D
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

Your computer is not a fast PDP-11"
