Wouldn’t let me rent when the housing crash hit and I couldn’t afford the place, wouldn’t let me have friends over late at night because they thought my d&d group were a bunch of drug dealers. All around a miserable experience.

Unfortunately, those of us that make games in Unreal Engine are stuck writing a lot of C++, unless we want to do everything in BPs (no thanks, they’re fine, but it’s not coding, and it’s difficult to maintain and refactor for complicated projects, they’re good for taking C++ components and building bigger components out of the base C++ functionality though).
With that said, UE’s support for C++ is decent. Which is, that as long as you tag all your fields, properties, methods, classes, etc. with some UnrealEngine attribute filter (like UCLASS
or UPROPERTY
), Unreal will handle the memory management of those constructs for you. Which is nice.
Unfortunately it has some other limitations to the C++ language that you can’t work around, like disallowing pure abstracts because every C++ derivative class based on any UE construct (Actor, Character, Pawn, etc.) has to be instantiatable in the editor. So no pure abstracts and such.
In general, I’d give it a 6/10.
It’s still mostly C++, but some of the things suck less.
I believe you are correct.
It appears the confusion is around great apes VS lesser apes and the way it’s worded.
We are all descended from great apes, but lesser apes are our cousins.

He’s saying we’re not apes, they’re our cousins.
We’re all descendents of a common primate. But apes are their own thing.
Honestly, some two part epoxy smoothed around it and you’d be gtg. And getting high off the fumes it gives off for the next three years…
This is great stuff. I mean, not for my tires. But in every other respect. Great.
What, specifically, about the texture bugs you? I’m not challenging, just trying to understand so I can offer recommendations to alter things.
The issue comes down to imperialism imo.
Western societies have an imperialist belief that we should be at the head of the table when it comes to the world order, politics, and having a say about what happens outside of our borders.
This is ingrained in all of us from a very young age by design. They’ve been doing it for millennia, and it’s been working pretty well, so no need to change tactics.
It’s also why non-western nation-states aren’t as involved directly in the politics of other nations. It’s not really a part of their ethos as a culture.
Wait, really? I would like to know more about Porcu-facts.
The pin holds a thing called the “spoon” in place. It’s secured with a hole in either side of it as it attaches to the “neck” of the grenade where the pin going through it secures the spoon to the neck of the grenade.
When the pin is removed, the spoon is free to come away from the grenade. Usually this takes more than gravity, but not “too” much more. Sometimes the force of removing the pin is enough to rattle the spoon loose/off from the grenade neck, triggering the fuse, in the case of most frag grenades like the one pictured above, the fuse length is pre-cut to be around 4 seconds, until it reaches the payload of TNT at the core of the fragmentation casing, exploding.
Bro. You’re an asshole.
Narcissists tend to sound the same, because it’s all lies about themselves and over inflating their own achievements because they can never get enough, have enough, do enough, etc.
Hogan and trump both would have had legitimate things to be proud of/brag about during their hayday; but because they are the way they are, it was never enough. It always has to be about them, and they have to be the best at everything. Their ego is fragile and any challenge to anything they do is met with extreme aggression to try and hide the fact that most of their accomplishments are made up lies.
Once you start down that path, you can’t walk it back without admitting to every one of the lies you’ve ever told. And they physically can’t do that. Like, their brain will not let them. You’ve seen trump try and acknowledge that he was lying by a judge and the best he can do is admit that the thing he’s saying ISN’T true, but he believes it SHOULD be true, so therefore why shouldn’t he be allowed to say what he personally believes is true, even if nobody else is willing to believe him? He knows that by saying it enough times, people will accept his lies as truth, there’s no reason for him to stop.
Hogan’s the same way. All Narcissists are the same way. It’s their cornerstone behavior.
This was literally an “Ask Lemmy” question, which pulls on individual personal experience for responses, so I’m not sure what else you would have been expecting.
I work with MBAs all day every day. Nonstop. They’re the vast majority of my touchpoints as a lifelong software engineer/DBA that manages several teams. I’ve been in the industry for 25+ years and have worked for multiple large (enterprise tier) medium, and small (startup) companies across multiple states including owning my own consulting company and interfaced directly with C-types that held nothing but MBAs.
So, not uninformed, but it is anecdotal. In the sense that this matches my life experience for 25+ years of working closely with MBA types on hundreds of projects during that time. Someone else might have different experiences. But I’m here answering their question so I’m going to talk about my experiences.
There’s plenty of MBA holders that are pragmatic and “normal”. However, at the top level, MBAs either attract, or turn people into narcissistic sociopaths, because the majority of narcissistic sociopaths I know and have worked with, hold MBAs.
Take from that what you will.
Edit: Apparently he took away a downvote. Getting a sneaking suspicion this guy might have an MBA. :) Not sure why you’re downvoting my life experiences, but sure guy. You win.
hahahahahahaahahaha
no
Edit: Rather than being full snark (it was a genuinely funny question though), I’ll give a more thoughtful answer. The reason the answer is no, is because MBAs tend to attract narcissistic sociopaths. And the first thing they do in this situation, is blame someone else, not the degree, but the specific person.
“If only he was a better MBA he would have kept the company focused on its core values”. That sort of thing.
The thing a degree that’s held by the majority of Narcissists and Sociopaths in the world absolutely won’t do, is inflect.
Yeah, that’s not going to happen.
This is incorrect. And I’m in the industry. In this specific field. Nobody in my industry, in my field, at my level, seriously considers this effective enough to replace their day to day coding beyond generating some boiler plate ELT/ETL type scripts that it is semi-effective at. It still contains multiple errors 9 times out of 10.
I cannot be more clear. The people who are claiming that this is possible are not tenured or effective coders, much less X10 devs in any capacity.
People who think it generates quality enough code to be effective are hobbyists, people who dabble with coding, who understand some rudimentary coding patterns/practices, but are not career devs, or not serious career devs.
If you don’t know what you’re doing, LLMs can get you close, some of the time. But there’s no way it generates anything close to quality enough code for me to use without the effort of rewriting, simplifying, and verifying.
Why would I want to voluntarily spend my day trying to decypher someone else’s code? I don’t need chatGPT to solve a coding problem. I can do it, and I will. My code will always be more readable to me than someone else’s. This is true by orders of magnitude for AI-code gen today.
So I don’t consider anyone that considers LLM code gen to be a viable path forward, as being a serious person in the engineering field.
They’re falling for a hype train then.
I work in the industry. With several thousand of my peers every day that also code. I lead a team of extremely talented, tenured engineers across the company to take on some of the most difficult challenges it can offer us. I’ve been coding and working in tech for over 25 years.
The people who say this are people who either do not understand how AI (LLMs in this case) work, or do not understand programming, or are easily plied by the hype train.
We’re so far off from this existing with the current tech, that it’s not worth seriously discussing.
There are scripts, snippets of code that vscode’s llm or VS2022’s llm plugin can help with/bring up. But 9 times out of 10 there’s multiple bugs in it.
If you’re doing anything semi-complex it’s a crapshoot if it gets close at all.
It’s not bad for generating psuedo-code, or templates, but it’s designed to generate code that looks right, not be right; and there’s a huge difference.
AI Genned code is exceedingly buggy, and if you don’t understand what it’s trying to do, it’s impossible to debug because what it generates is trash tier levels of code quality.
The tech may get there eventually, but there’s no way I trust it, or anyone I work with trusts it, or considers it a serious threat or even resource beyond the novelty.
It’s useful for non-engineers to get an idea of what they’re trying to do, but it can just as easily send them down a bad path.
Fuck Larry Ellison.
Now he’s going for super-villainy against people who’ve never even heard of Oracle.
