@kiaran_ritchie perf and valgrind. Then there’s an ocean of tools to make the output pretty(-ish). Nothing as integrated as Superluminal tho.

Is there anything like Superluminal for Linux? How you do you profile C++ in Linux?

@WatchLoverRolly @YouGayHoe420 @fleurmeston Cancer in the liver is a thing. The body needs a working liver to process opioids in order for them to work and/or not to bioaccumulate to toxic levels. With no working liver, there is no pain management. Just pain and an ungodly amount of it.

@p1huycke @allan75smith @jm_mcgrath You can either work with society and have things go smoothly, or you can hammer against it and take your lumps. There are two competing traffic rules here: smooth flow and speed limit. From an enforcement perspective, the first one is vastly more important.

@p1huycke @allan75smith @jm_mcgrath If you’re the one hall monitor going at 100km/h, while prevailing traffic is going at 130, then you are the most likely cause of accidents, since now everyone has to swerve around your slow self.

A huge amount of rice that the Toronto Daily Bread Food Bank is relying on is a good example of how ridiculous our food markets are. We could be feeding every Canadian with lentils and chickpeas and short of Manitoba ceeding, the food would always available within a day.

@White_Crayon_00 @LieutenantRusty Sure. But are they replaceable _immediately_? If not, is there going to be a major bottom line and/or client bleed before that happens? It’s a lot cheaper to keep existing talent than to replace them. Especially in knowledge-based work.

Really? Do you mean demands like getting rid of Canada’s supply management? You do realize that supply management is one factor in our high grocery prices don’t you. It’s a cartel for dairy products in Canada that keeps prices high. So you’re for that? I have a feeling you don’t know what you’re talking about.

Despite Donald Trump disregarding the deals he just signed and slapping those countries with new tariffs anyway, Andrew Scheer says it’s "up to Mark Carney to explain why here we are almost a year into his term and he has failed to get the deal that he promised Canadians."

@emre_mayo @Tom___Scott A lot of the larger, international rental chains allow you to drop the car off at different location than the one rented from, for a fee. Even across international borders.

@hublan2 @Tom___Scott I strongly suspect the husband having no path to reenter the US but taking a car into Canada was more likely reason for being rejected. Were they just going to dump the car in Canada?

@emre_mayo @Tom___Scott Having done it myself, they ask “registration? is this your car?” “No, it’s a rental” “Can I see the rental agreement?” etc. It’s not complicated.

@Tom___Scott There is some missing information here. I have crossed into Canada at that border as a non US greencard holder with a car, and Canada gave me no issues. Why did Canada reject them? How did Bill get into US on expired visa or did he overstay once in? Too much info left out.

@RealChuckM @herncosta @RandyUnhacked @DanielTyrie Building codes in Toronto, to this day, are a continuing result of xenophobic reaction against Irish immigrants in the late 1800s/early 1900s. It’s why you’d barely see multi-family buildings in TO until condo towers became a big thing in the 2000s.

I'm not radical, I'm the voice of reason. It's not controversial to recognize that being Canadian is about more than having a piece of paper. To be Canadian is to be a part of an intergenerational lineage stretching back to the pioneers that settled and built this country from nothing. This is an obvious reality that everyone understands whether or not they are willing to admit it yet. I'm just the guy who's willing to say what everyone else is thinking.

@hublan2 @davidjackdaw @IrishTimesOpEd It was estimated that 20% of Ukraine was ethnic Russian in 2014. Poroshenko said a few things about how they'd suffer. Can you hear me at the back?

@IrishTimesOpEd There are absolutely no parallels between the Ukraine conflict and the Spanish civil war. This Ukraine conflict has occurred due to NATO's constant movement to the east. Putin warned this conflict would happen back in 2007, in the Munich security conference. But NATO kept going.

@AlanKonig @Babygravy9 It won’t even get that far because the information presented in the video is wrong on all counts. Plus civil cases in Canada rarely see a jury.

@AlanKonig @Babygravy9 Canada has an automatic loser pays system. So when this loser loses, he’s on the hook for the majority of the defendant’s legal fees — assuming he finds a dumb enough lawyer to take the case. Keeps dumb stunts like this to a minimum.

@Babygravy9 Western legal systems were designed for a high-trust people. The more low-trust people you have, the more quickly it just turns into fraud and corruption.

@rfleury @EskilSteenberg This would be a legit argument if Valve didn’t engage in price discrimination. If you publish with Valve, you’re not allowed to post a lower price elsewhere on a service that charges lower publishing fees. Which is the crux of that lawsuit.

If Valve’s 30% transaction fee is so outrageous (it’s not), then others can simply provide alternatives and charge less. If players still don’t want those alternatives, it’s for a reason: the higher prices they see are worthwhile for the various services involved. So, the alternatives need to also compete on quality. That isn’t an “unlawful monopoly”, that is a competitive service provided at an acceptable rate for developers and players alike. A competitor can undercut that price, but they have to actually do a good job providing an alternative. It is completely absurd to involve the government to punish Valve.
Ryan Fleury@rfleury

@Dexerto Games have never been cheaper, and if you could even claim that Valve has a monopoly on game distribution (they don’t), they are in that position because they’ve done an excellent job providing good (and often free) services to players.

@OlexGameDev @8spacetabs Then it’s being used wrong. The big-O is just an indicator of how processing cost will scale with input size. The underlying processing or storage system is irrelevant.
