Microsoft acquired GitHub way before LLMs existed.

What if someone tells you something is gonna happen at 12?

For example: you can turn in your assignments until 12 tomorrow.

That confusion could lead to you failing your assignment if they meant noon and you thought midnight.

Time is not only for the present, it's for the past and future too. You can't look at the sky in the past/future.

That's not lazyness. Multiplication is always done before addition. No need for parenthesis for that.

I've heard people argue in both sides of "is 0 a natural number?". But I've never before encountered the "there are no natural numbers" argument. It's like flipping a coin and having it land sidewise.

Backdoors are features, not bugs though.

The one on the right looks bigger though, it's just zoomed out.

That's called immediately mode gui (or imgui). It has nothing to do with think about elements or pixels. You do have elements, it's just that they're rendered directly (immediately) instead of stored.

You have a panel+border+text "primitive" drawing functions. Nothing is stopping you from creating a single function that calls all 3 of those. You probably should, since it's probably a common pattern. You could call it DrawBoxedText. There is no difference between a DrawBoxedText function and a BoxedText element with a draw() method.

The first problem is a you problem though. There's nothing stopping you from dividing your global god-class into smaller ones. For example, you can have one state struct per windows. So windows wouldn't have access to the state of other windows.

The second problem is also the reason I don't often use imgui. Imgui is great for introducing UI to applications that would re-render every frame, like a video game. But for every other application, it feels like a waste. If I wanted to waste resources I would write it in python or JavaScript.

I swear it's impossible to get to that menu via the start menu. Every time I find a way to make it the first result, they seem to change it after a few months. I'd say it's the hardest settings tab to get to.

So if you are that dude with the mining rights, you would sell them at the same price before and after discovering the gold right? Since the discovery of gold hasn't changed its value.

Their app being so bad is the only reason third party apps were even a thing. The official reddit was just unusable on mobile.

It is the only social media that had a significant user base using third party apps.

The same is true for the search. You had to use their party (google) search engines to search for something on reddit.

Not even the desktop website is good. I don't even remember the name of the extension, but that one extension that every power user had brought many simple features that reddit didn't add after years of existing.

Their multiple redesigns were universally hated. The reason they haven't shut down old reddit is because a non-insignificant amount of traffic uses that frontend, even though it is 2-3 redesigns old.

Basically anything that reddit did was shit. It only was popular because the core features worked and were free with very little ads. And it had a massive (and active) user base that posted content, so basically every google search contained a reddit link with a decent answer.
