Gotta love emacs constantly freezing for seconds on end on a god darn 13th gen i7 with 32GB RAM

absolute trash fire editor

Yukari Hafner

@shinmera I used Emacs for a long time, but have come to the conclusion it's architecture has not adapted to the multi-core world. Trying to work with Unreal Engine just kills it.

Yukari Hafner

folks will be like "lisp is hard to read" and then write shit like this

@shinmera could be a lot worse. It could forego indentation and require counting parentheses

Yukari Hafner

On that note, I genuinely do not understand why some folks need whatever language they like to be popular.

Why? Are you insecure about your preferences? Do you somehow still believe that "objective facts" matter for something as subjective as popularity? What do you actually want?

Yukari Hafner

Speaking of engines and frameworks and whatever, something I've noticed with a lot of projects is that they love to advertise themselves as being:

- simple
- powerful
- flexible
- modern

The fun part about all of those words is that they mean absolutely nothing.

@shinmera The first two bug the absolute shit out of me. What kind of techshit isn't "powerful"?

Piotr

@shinmera Also, simple is the opposite of powerful and flexible. You can't have both. It's either simple and weak, or powerful/flexible and complex.

Peter Bautista

@shinmera I always hope “modern” will mean abstract, geometric colors that will look good on the wall behind my Eames knock-off chair.

@shinmera Is that the Emacs pinky I'm seeing?! Ain't nobody fooling around, that thing is mighty strong :).

Isn't this kinda like throwing blood into a school of sharks? :D

Hey, if you're the type of person that can start typing a reply to an argument, then decide that actually it's not worth bothering with and delete the reply, I want you to know:

You're doing fantastic, and you should be proud of yourself. I wish more people had that kind of restraint.

@shinmera it’s VERY CHALLENGING. I recommend to all that you send the email to yourself and wait 24 hours before following through
