Random people who just want to get into a position of power don’t pass.

Not sure about rural towns but I’m pretty sure this is the case in most cities/big towns in the US as well. It’s just that police training in the US tends to systemically filter decent human beings out of its system. Not exactly random, more like maximally bad by design 🙃

I wouldn’t be surprised if my town was the exception and not the norm (I’m from a relatively progressive town in a consistently blue state) but at my public high school I only knew of 1-2 people out of the 500 people in my grade that stood up during the pledge of allegiance and a good percentage of the grade hated them because they were high key homophobic.

This has to be bait… I refuse to believe someone would see this meme and think it’s trying to say that people are literally being stabbed.

Obligatory “I’m a cis man” but this scenario is most of my extended family right now, with the lucky exceptions of my parents, siblings, and grandparents. I’m pretty sure they’ve all said this exact line multiple times.

Probably performance - the Java server takes up a lot of memory and CPU for what it does. The base implementation first started in 2011, so it wasn’t exactly designed to be multithreaded or parallelized because most games were still largely single-threaded at the time. Rewriting it from scratch in a different language probably helps with that

… and are keeping the hate to the appropriate boards (X, I believe it’s called nowadays). Should we contract his work and apply it where applicable?

There is no “appropriate board” for hate speech, whether it’s antisemitism, transphobia, or anything else. If you wouldn’t want someone to be a nazi in your office, why would you pay them if you know they’re a nazi somewhere else? Is it fine as long as it’s someone else’s problem?

On another level, if you had to pay a developer, and you have reason to think they might donate the money you give them to an antisemitic cause, or directly use it to fund their own antisemitism, would you still want to give them that money? Or maybe look elsewhere, even if it means getting something slightly worse?

Pretty interesting how the number of active users per month has been fluctuating up/down but the number of comments and posts per month has been steadily going up

Rust is only huge because it doesn’t have an ABI. If you had an ABI (and didn’t have to compile every single dependency into the binary) the binary sizes would probably drop a lot to the point where they’re only slightly bigger than a C counterpart

Edit: I don’t know if Go has an ABI but they also include a runtime garbage collector in their binaries so that probably has something to do with it.

Audacity was the first one I thought of.

Or MultiMC, PolyMC, the Sodium mod, or the original Minecraft Forge.

(Minecraft community devs need to stop having drama lmao)

Another funny concept
