But when you are talking about professional games development that is a very specific thing they almost no one is doing.

That’s a really ridiculous example though. No one is doing that.

The difference is now you wouldn’t be able to buy it at 20 either.

You’d have to work pretty hard to get on cigarettes and hopefully most people just won’t bother.

Nicotine is still bullshit as are vapes. But as far as we know vapes are the lesser evil.

Except they aren’t like food. Vaping isn’t required to live. It’s purely recreational and aimed at children.

But I’m happy with either regulation or a ban.

Well yeah that’s the idea.

Yes and yes.

It works really well for kids. They aren’t even trying to ban it for adults.

Raising the age from 16 to 18 had a massive effect when I was young.

This will most likely dramatically decrease smoking in young people and that’s great.

It’s not 100% or nothing.

Yeah vaping will have its time. I bet they’re already sitting on evidence that it fucks you up.

Prohibition does work very well for kids though. Most people start young as when you’re older you know the issues.

So they are keeping it for people already exposed and trying to stop younger people starting in the first place.

They raised the age to 18 when I turned 16 and it dramatically cut the amount we had access to.

It’s not like the old alcohol probation. Plus smoking isn’t even fun like drinking. It’s just gross and bad for your health. And most people don’t drink because of addiction. It’s a different kettle of fish.

But they should be doing the same for vaping.

It’ll work for the majority of people. You won’t be able to do it out in public.

If you want to get cancer in your own house go ahead.

The truth is they put a huge burden on public services. Mainly the health service but also they create insane amounts of litter.

If vaping is still an option then most people will just do that.

Vaping is currently almost completely unregulated and some studies have found terrifying chemicals in them

People who don’t like cancer and want to take the insane pressure these death sticks put on the health service.

Who in their right mind supports mega corps selling addictive cancer causing products to young people?

I mean murdering people is extremist.

Taking their money would achieve the same.

Most of the time yeah. But it depends as you can write c# with very little GC use if you avoid allocations.

Ahead of time compiling also gets things much closer. But then you lose runtime optimization.

Actually jit languages can outperform compiled languages by using runtime analysis to perform tiered compilation and profile guided optimisations.

C# has made some great strides in this regard.

All the normal optimisations are applied when it is compiled to byte code. Like loop unrolling etc.

Then once it detects the hot paths during execution it can apply even more based on how it is called. It can also do optimisations that aren’t possible at initial compile time.

Dynamic PGO it’s called. It’s a really interesting topic.

I’m fairly sure use after free isn’t possible unless you explicitly use unsafe code right?

It’s compiler enforced is the point.

That sounds like a comment written by somebody who has no idea what the article says

The numbers put out by Ukraine have been 1000+ consistently for quite a while now.

How is interest on Russian assets your tax dollars?

Honestly I would just commit your in progress work then on the other machine check it out and reset to the previous commit.

Then you have your in progress work on the new machine with no random commits.

You could set up an alias that does commit with message “switching machines” and pushes.

Similar have one that pulls and resets.
