Are Gen Z the chosen ones? I hope so.

I’m confused by this comment. Can you explain what you mean by “Genocide is a constant, ongoing foundation of capitalism, colonialism”?

I don’t understand what you mean, and my attempts to interpret it lead me to silly conclusions which I doubt are what you’re trying to communicate here.

From what I understand, “genocide” refers to the eradication of a people or culture. This includes things like killing all Jews/Palestinians (e.g. Nazis and Israelis), imprisoning and “re-educating” an entire ethnic group (like the Chinese are doing to the Uyghurs), and much more.

Colonialism very easily falls into that definition, but I struggle to see how captialism does.

Consider what the disassembly would look like. There’s no fast way to do it.

It’s also unnecessary since 8 bytes is a negligible amount in most cases. Serialization is the only real scenario where it matters. (Edit: and embedded)

If a majority of boomers think Thing1, but you are a boomer who thinks Thing2 instead, you are not disproving a myth, you’re being an outlier. If you were to pick a random boomer off the street, there’s a very good chance that he thinks Thing1 instead of Thing2. So “boomers think Thing1” is a perfectly valid (if a bit casual) statment that adequately represents the underlying statistical facts of the situation.

It can be frustrating as a Thing2 boomer, but that’s just how it is. The world thinks Amercans are hateful, disgusting ghoulish greedy misanthopists, and it feels bad to hear that as an American who didn’t vote for Trump, but I accept the logic behind the generalization.

I think you’re giving them too much credit. I doubt they’ve considered that, or would even care if they did.

The real, sadder, reason is that Trump fell for a doctored photo, and these people are too scared to tell him he’s wrong.

Correct, but said implementation will be orders of magnitude slower than implementing at a lower level…

“order of magnitude” typically means 10x. A reasonable Lua implementation of rigidbody physics isn’t going to be 10+ times slower than an equivalent C++ version. C++ provides a lot more tools for optimization than Lua, so you’re unlikely to find a truly apples-to-apples comparison showing the difference between a Lua and C++ that isn’t a benchmark of the particular algorithms in the implementations.

To be clear, I’m not saying Lua is faster or as fast as C++, just that you’re making it sound as if Lua is too slow for something like this. I know this isn’t a programming community, but we’re talking about programming languages, so I feel compelled to point stuff like this out.

meaning you cannot handle lots of objects, you can only handle a few, and only with a few players if this is all networked… otherwise you get massive physics calculation innacuracy, terrible performance spikes, crashes, and if networked, server hangs/stalls, huge desync, etc.

None of this is true.

… than just actually having direct access to them… but that would be the case with any language …

It is specifically a problem with embeddable languages like Lua because they’re limited by what is exposed to its VM and how. In the context of modding physics into Morrowind, it’s possible that not everything you’d need is cleanly exposed through Lua (which afaik is implemented with a third party plugin and not natively supported).

Not saying its impossible, just saying it… I’ve never seen anyone pull off an efficient and accurate 3D physics engine in Lua, untill now with this LuaJIT implementation.

At the risk of sounding like a dick, I think you’re bullshitting. I doubt you’ve ever seen any physics engine implemented in Lua before, much less benchmarked them or evaluated them for their “efficient” and “accurate” qualities (which are meaningless terms). Lua physics engines certainly exist, but they’re mostly gimmicks interesting to developers to study/learn as there aren’t many real world use cases for something like that. There are few reasons to choose that over a C++ physics library, not because Lua is slow, but simply because C++ is faster, and the libraries are typically much more mature and feature-rich.

Can someone explain what this title is supposed to mean?

Imma be the guy and drop an ackshually

• Nothing about Lua would make it difficult to implement a physics engine in it compared to other languages
• The hardest part would be integrating with Morrowind’s systems. If the engine doesn’t expose e.g. collision geometry to scripts in an efficient way, then you’ll run into some real challenges
• Even without LuaJIT, there’s no reason to expect performance so bad you can’t implement realtime rigid body physics. Interpreted Lua is fast, but even if it wasn’t, a 60 fps performance target for physics is not tough to achieve at all

What is this referencing?

We want a centrally planned economy,

Lmao what? Is this a #JustLemmyThings meme?

You really had me going until this part

I didn’t get a cell phone until 2019, I always used an iPod touch with a VOIP app.

I didn’t say being fat “is a binary choice”, and I never mentioned anything about fad diets.

I get the impression that I’ve struck a nerve, and you just want to lash out. Sorry if I upset you, but this is unproductive. Your comments aren’t addressing anything I’m saying, you’re just throwing stuff out to vent.

I have loved ones who are obese. If you’re struggling with your weight, fwiw, I don’t believe you’re worth less because of it. But please don’t spread misinformation, and instead take the time to learn more about the topic. If not for your own sake, for the sake of others who might be lured away from the path to recovery by misinfo you may unintentionally spread.

I’m not sure what you’re getting at with the diet question. That neither invalidates nor supports what I said.

If someone wants to be fat, they can be fat. I don’t care what other people do with their lives. I’m just pointing out that the reason why a person becomes fat is well-known, proven science. Denying that is akin to vaccine skepticism; it’s actively harmful to society. The past 8 years are a great example of what happens when we allow misinformation and pseudoscience to propagate, even if it seems silly/fringe/nobody-actually-believes-that.

The Steam Deck? It’s very different. It comes with an unlocked bootloader, so you can install any operating system you want. Even though it’s a “Steam” Deck, you can buy and play games from any store you want, even on the stock Valve operating system.

It’s also somewhat easy to repair, includes official repair guides and replacement parts programs.

Ah, so the son of George Washington Hitler became a doctor? Good for him!

This is like vaccine skepticism.

Fat people are fat because they eat too much.

If Bob has a “slow metabolism”, then Bob should stop eating desert after dinner if he doesn’t want to be fat.

This is a stretch. I saw the video, and he just misspeaks by saying “country” instead of “company”, but it’s clear that he understands it’sa company. He says he’ll place tariffs on their toys, not the “country of Mattel”

whereas Stuhl was more like a simple stool (a small foot rest or seating without any back rest or arm rests). In German we use “Schemel” or “Hocker” to describe such a stool.

So what you’re saying is that the meme doesn’t work in German either, because the furniture in the meme would be referred to as a “Schemel” rather than a “Stuhl”

This meme is an abortion of human language smh
