That works for most of us, but not for all. It's basically the same as public speech, some people simply will do badly unless they go through some radical change.

That's not what I meant. I didn't say "tests are hard". I said "It's hard to measure knowledge using tests", from the perspective of whoever needs to elaborate those.

In the end, tests end up approving a lot of people that learned next to nothing, as I myself succeeded in several by memorizing for the short term. I couldn't tell how many jingles I used to go through tests. In rarer cases, they also bombing someone with a reasonable understanding of the subject that maybe just was having a bad day or was sick.

You can use the IDE without problems. It's like Gimp, for an example. It is GPL, but you are not incorporating the software itself.

Even though I would argue QtCreator is only bearable when working with Qt.

Never used C++? Most cases where Cpp is a good fit will require some memory usage and allocation profiling sooner or later.

Not really, especially when there are dozens of alternatives to vivox. But it is definitely the only thing they could suggest without saying "yeah, you should use Mumble, is objectively better".

The thing is, it was clearly in the interest of the developer. Vivox tried to use the "drop it, it's so insignificant" card, but, even compared to the number of Linux gamers, the insignificant market would actually be the "vivox users" market.

That's a good analogy. It's really hard to "measure knowledge," and in my humble opinion, as someone who once was a teacher, tests are one of the hardest ways of doing so.

Saying that C++ won't "save" us is already pretty emotional and, put simply, wrong. We are not really facing imminent doom or anything that would justify that word, other than an overemotional point of view, biased by personal feelings.

Can't access the link anymore, "Sorry, that page doesn’t exist!"

Can anyone still access? Can anyone throw this in the WayBack Machine?

I'll just leave this here

To be discontinued...

The part about prices is true to any cloud provider. Amazon increased our prices by 170% over the years, same usage. I was not surprised when I saw big shots falling back to self hosting (like Dropbox from Amazon to own hardware).

it reminds me of all the discontinued crap I tried and never comited to. Google and Microsoft are basically a minefield on that front.

I have never seen anyone saying that $5 a day of anything is ruining someone's retirement plans. But yes, spending $5 on a latte, $5 on a croissant, another $5 on candies and a tenner on Uber, ..., and the daily wasted money will eventually add up.

That article is nothing more than a spineless Straw Man fallacy.

Except that the $5 fancy latte also works up to at least 5 minutes to get.

Not that I think it has anything to do with the point of the article.

First world problems meme is taking on a whole new level

"Oh No! This innovation program is bringing too many good results! Better dial it down a little..."

That looks like ergonomic terror

Not only code writing, but debugging, compiling, testing, deploying to physical devices via usb, coding thermal printer, barcode scanners or other input hardware support support, and the list goes on...

I would definitely buy one. And also buy the companion DIY kit.

Thanks for the work and for the update

Looks cool, if not overkill for the vast majority of games. I hope I remember this if I ever get to make a moba or a hardcore strategy game.

Good thing they have such settings for non-tracking ads.

Thanks

I use a http://userstyles.org theme for it. Been using that site more and more these days.

I mostly agree with you, especially about those "weak affirmatives" being plainly bad, and I personally disregard anything in that "plausible deniability" category as what it is.

Still, I don't think calling the post a debunking effort is the core of the comment, but the CV analysis. Especially the part where the commenter considers the post credible: "[...] I tend to find her post credible here on general this-looks-like-a-fellow-academic grounds."

The commenter then brings his research to the institution, and make an affirmation on a possible bias. Possible being the key word, what makes the whole period kind of useless. Yes, we can't correct it since it is not false (nor true), but we also don't have to correct it, as it holds no weight.

In the end, I'd sum the comment up as, "I consider the post credible as an academic, but won't be surprised if proven wrong.", and I would definitely not call this ad hominem. Especially given the commenter has not positioned themselves for or against the content, but as a passive reader.

No. Ad hominem only exists when there is a disagreement. So, one side of the argumentation uses the fallacy to counter the other side's argument.

This IS NOT the case. This is akin to simple research. Imagine you want to build a computer, and in your research you find The Verge's guide. You look up The Verge and check that it is simply not a good source for such information.

There is no one against another here. It is one with an argument, and one neutral, consuming the content, with no position whatsoever.

"Ad hominem (Latin for "to the person"[1]), short for argumentum ad hominem, is a fallacious argumentative strategy whereby genuine discussion of the topic at hand is avoided by instead attacking the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument, or persons associated with the argument, rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself."

Keys, it is an argumentative strategy to avoid a genuine discussion. This is not a discussion. The author of the article is not here to join in argumentative discussion. Being passive aggressive won't change that.

Not an argument, not a discussion. It is simply considering how much fact check should be done before we can take their words for it. There can be no ad-hominem attack when the message is unidirectional.

In hopes for a RISC-V Pi
