I loooove KolourPaint, I've wanted a program that's just like the classic MS Paint for such a long time, I was so thrilled when I found it. Only available for Linux users unfortunately

I actually used Chicago95 for a bit and I really liked it, but for some reason the Wayland beta doesn't work on my PC yet and I can't tolerate the weird quirks X11 has with my GPU drivers :(

Woah, I love that, gotta give it a try

Thanks! When I was a kid, I remember I figured out how to change the font in Windows and I spent a long time messing around with it and settled on Comic Sans MS. Turns out I also have mild dyslexia, so might be part of why I like it!

Tough question! On the one hand, I've never been misled by a markdown document, but on the other hand, it's the new kid on the block, and doesn't have anywhere near the same amount of traction as .txt, the academic distinction of .tex, nor the clout of .xlsx. As an aside, I think Randall overvalues PDF here. I think I'd put .md just above .doc, but below .xlsx.

Yes it is! The theme is called Reactionary Plus.

Yep, it's Dolphin with the Reactionary Plus theme

It's Audacious, an open source media player which can actually use Winamp skins directly. It's awesome, I love it. Give it a shot if you'd like, you can get it for Windows, Linux and Mac, and you can use any of the skins from the Winamp Skin Museum.

This is just fucking misogyny. If the best insult you can think of against Elon Musk is to call him a woman, then you just hate women. Anyone who thinks this is actually good, you are part of the problem, just go vote for fucking Trump

Nuclear isn’t in competition with fossil fuels, it’s in competition with renewables. Renewables are better than nuclear by pretty much every conceivable metric. So fuck nuclear power, it’s a waste of money and time.

When energy storage and transmission methods are also not up to the task, nuclear becomes the best answer.

Obviously, the best answer is to improve energy storage and transmission infrastructure. Why would we waste hundreds of millions on a stupid toy power plant when we could spend 10% of that money on just running decent underground cables.

Just for context, I’m an experienced software engineer with years of experience with both C++ and C#, as well as several others, including Rust. You can do shallow and deep copies in C# as well, it’s done extremely infrequently because it’s usually a bit of a code smell and it has some downsides - it’s inefficient both for performance and for memory.

In C# the assignment operator will copy the value if it’s a value type (structs and primitives) and copy the reference if it’s a reference type (classes). It does that because it’s a garbage collected language and it needs to track how memory is referenced and so on.

The whole debate about what languages are better is honestly a bit silly, IMO. C, C++, Python, C#, Javascript, Rust, they all serve their purpose, they have their strengths and weaknesses.

Sure you can, it’s the same in C# as it would be in C++ if you did a=b, where a and b are both pointers.

You don’t want to copy the full data of a class around every time you use it, that would have extremely poor performance. If you do want that behaviour, use structs instead of classes. If you need to clone a class for whatever reason, you can do that too, but it’s not really something that you should need to do all that often.

I don’t think you should really jump in and call something crappy if you just don’t really know how to use it, personally!
