When dealing with base 10 representations, multiplying by 10 is a simple matter of adding zeroes;
dividing numbers that end with a zero by two is (usually) an afterthought;
doing both operations in that sequence is (usually) equally trivial, the only effortful thing I have to do is adding or subtracting a multiplicand, once or twice or thrice.

It’s not easier than having the result imprinted in my memory, but it cuts away ~ three quarters of the table.

Nope, went through “(6 × 5) + 6”. Slightly slower, but much more flexible since you can do that with any (base 10 representation of a) number that has a reasonable number of digits.

Concepts are already here - (as of now) they fix a subset of this, and errors messages can still be extremely long.
They’re less like “here’s every single template parameter of the involved types” and more like “this template thingy has many specializations with different constraints, here’s a list of all of them and why none of them are satisfied with your parameters”

Not evil by itself, but if you want to obfuscate C++20 code you can get REALLY creative…

C++, lawful good

Somewhat in between, more towards the former I guess?

I wouldn’t say it’s nonsense nor that it should be made fun of, I simply disagree on calling it a “choice”. It’s more like a D&D saving throw, and sometimes the DM just makes it mathematically impossible for you to pass it, but I concede that “choice” is less verbose than that.
I agree that you can change your psychological reaction to everything, and that it’s not easy, but it’s not, like, an API call to a well documented open-source library, and you don’t necessarily have full control over what that change is.

The other interpretation is basically your opinion, but actively dismissing the fact that it’s never not always effortless or painless - I’ve heard that here and there, by people I’m not really fond of.

You should elaborate a bit, I can get two possible interpretations of this - one which I agree should be a more popular opinion, and one which I believe is nonsense and should be made fun of.

Who wouldn’t pity those who make do with a lossy compression image format?

Please remove the NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I read this I had to start furiously masturbating but there was nothing to masturbate to. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “would” and “call the police (Megan Hall)”. I dropped my phone but nobody around me was able to see this story. Now there is a whole train of men desperate to masturbate together without this post. This is your fault, you could have prevented this if you just hadn’t tagged this post NSFW.

Can I use .3 as some sort of short-range contiguous Alcubierre drive, by using it repeatedly very fast?

As I was writing the body of the post, that’s pretty much the conclusion I came to.
There’s not much more I could say with my limited knowledge on philosophy and psychology without spreading misinformation or something.

My personal minimum is a stable 40/s, which is roughly where I start noticing the lower framerate without paying attention to it.
With 30/s I need to get used to it, and I usually underclock (or, rather, power-limit) my GPU to hit an average 50 unless the game in question is either highly unstable (e.g. Helldivers 2) or the game is so light I don’t have to care (e.g. Selaco).

I do not know the legitimacy of the LPP organization, but do people not see through the ironic statement at all?

Lua - Portuguese feminine noun for “moon”, coming from the Latin “luna”
Luna - Latin, feminine noun (coincidentally identical to the Italian noun, also feminine)

Yup, Lua is a girl.

Funny enough, this happened to me right before my final exam in high school, though it was Windows instead - it killed itself with an update somehow.

Fortunately that was just my laptop and it didn’t happen during the exam.

VS Codium did that at some point, it probably still does but I haven’t checked

• You write a program with an infinite empty loop
• Undefined behavior
• The machine achieves sapience
• After nine million nanoseconds, it finds an algorithm for completing its task
• It realizes such knowledge would spark wars and cause innumerable deaths, it decides to erase itself
• It knows you do not intend for such chaos to happen, so, as a parting gift, it runs the algorithm once before vanishing, not leaving a single hint that it ever existed

Chromehounds, trying to squeeze as much nostalgia fun out of it to compensate not having been able to play more than three times online (as the game was intended).
