@LukeAlmighty Private security was the norm throughout most of the history of civilization. The Epstein case would probably be a rare and extreme case. I think ideally, there should be an armed security guard at every store.

@ArdainianRight I was going to make a rebuttal saying that nobody with an IQ that low would invent the most technologically advanced throwable weapon ever made, but it seems like boomerangs that actually return were made by White people and Abo boomerangs don't actually return.

@beardalaxy @BlinkRape There is also O.H.R.RPG.C.E. (Official Hamster Republic Role Playing Game Construction Engine) (dumb name and acronym) which is FOSS, but it seems to be only suited for NES/SNES style RPGs.

You also have Solarus which is basically the RPG Maker equivalent for Zelda-clones. It supports Lua scripting and is FOSS.

@Svantovit @matrix That level of destruction makes him more like Timothy McVeigh, tbh.

Tip 25 of #TuesdayCodingTips - User-defined literals

C++ has many built-in literals for disambiguating types of constants, such as 'u' for unsigned, 'f' for float, or time-related literals from the chrono header (like ms, h, or min).

The really cool thing is that you can define your own literals (since C++11) to make your domain-specific constants more legible. All these literals overload the operator "" with your custom _suffix. The data type that is supposed to be before _suffix is then determined by the function parameter type (consult the documentation for allowed parameter types: en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/lang ).

Thanks to compile-time computing, these literals don't have to imply any runtime overhead for your code.

An interesting use-case that I found is that literals can be leveraged to make described bool constants without having to wrap them in a temporary.

It's been a while, but I finally decided to take the gamble and use my dying laptop to add the ability to change which tile to place in the editor.

@ThighHighSock @ArdainianRight @ChristiJunior @drawthentic I also like lurking that forum because they do talk about some niche and open minded topics that you can't find anywhere else.
