I'd rather wait until 2025 than having a Cyberpunk 2.0. I waited 10 years, I think I can handle 1 or 2 more.

Let me tell you some shocking news: Most of the majors in Computer Science and Engineering (in the university I took it, one of the most prestigious in my country) don't know shit about software engineering. They know only how to burp out the same leetcode style programs they were taught and that's it. I'd trust a guy that managed to learn software engineering on it's own through years of FAFO than (most) university majors.

And OP talks about Alchemy, which commonly uses the energy that different materials have inherently to create magical artifacts.

It's literally using what God already created.

So, straight out of 1984?

I've had many problems with drivers for Nvidia and RealTek components, that absolutely refuse to work for more than a week straight. Across three distros and two different machines.

and more stuff works out of the box than after a Windows installation.

Except drivers, those seem to like to catch on fire, for some reason.

If it involves pointers, not unlikely.

The problem is that in a flat plane with any amount of thickness, there will be always more mass diagonally than vertically, and it would still require a curve to evenly distribute the mass. I am by no means an expert on the matter, but from what I can recall, the only geometrical shape that allows for it is either a sphere or some complex hyperbolic curve, which is still not a plane.

If the disk had the thickness of Earth's diameter and through some black magic fuckery made it so that only the mass directly below you affected the force of gravity on you, then yes.

It's probably easier to make an FTL engine than to make any sense of flat earth theories.

Easy: murder everyone. Which will probably be the course of action this Skynet will take.

I think the Butlerian Jihad can't do shit against Judgment Day.

nodemodules is so heavy it is the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy.

The data doesn't lie. But the analyst that studied the data does.

I swear statistics was one of, if not the most confusing class I ever took.

I think the software itself is gold standard and does not change, so that wouldn't be the case. The technitians, on the other hand... are not something you can get from your corner store.

That is an abomination. I will probably use it in a not-so-distant future.

And people bash Javascript as if it was the devil when thinks like this exist on other languages.

If we're talking about the same guy, he had to manage the economy of a country that has been constantly been fucked up by it's government. That probably also contributed to his fascist ideas.

So, just like a certain German dude?

Honestly, given the context of a browser, Javascript's "Everything is better than crashing" philosophy does not seem too out-of-place. Yes, the website might break, but at least it would be theoretically usable still.

Yes, a statically typed language would help, but I'd rather not have one that is "these two types are slightly different, fuck you, have a segfault", but rather one that is slightly more flexible.

With C, you need to carefully craft your own gun with just iron ingots and a hammer. You will shoot yourself in the foot, but at least you'll have the knowledge that it was your craftsmanship that led to it.

With C++, there are already prebuilt guns and tons of modifications that you can combine at will. If you shove it in the right way, you can make a flintlock shoot a 50 cal, but don't complain when your whole leg gets obliterated.
