1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

It's here and it's Zig (ZigLang[^]).
If you didn't like Go and you hated Rust well, you're going to detest Zig.
But the dealio is that you can play this nice game in your browser all thanks to Zig (Oxid[^]).
Based Upon, which Was Based Upon...which was...
Oxid is an arcade-style game where you fight waves of monsters in a fixed-screen maze. This is more or less a clone of Verminian Trap (2013, Locomalito). Verminian Trap was originally inspired by Wizard of Wor (1980, Midway).
So, get your loathing powers fired up and start loathing Zig today.

...in a recent reply to a post.
The only problem I have with Darwinism is that it doesn't work fast enough so we are stuck with millions of idiots we can't get rid of!
Note: This post may seem to be political (and therefore verboten) but it isn't meant to be; just a sad reflection on the human race today.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Darwinism does not work any more. It's predicated on the weak dying but in a civilised society, that does not happen

civilised is way too nice for our society.

Well, sure, society has become increasingly sh*t. But the underlying principles that stop darwinism are still intact.

So let's just remove warning labels off all products and let nature run its course.

And ban driver airbags & seat belts - and fit a large sharp spike to the middle of the steering wheel.
The casualties in the first months will be horrific, but the accident rate will plummet after that.
And the average IQ will rise dramatically.

Of course that also assumes we muzzle lawyers.

Their cars get even bigger spikes, hi-ex on all four corners and the brakes disabled ...

Isn't there a Peanuts strip where Snoopy sits on top of his doghouse waiting for his dogfood, reading Survival of the fattest?
In the Norwegian version, he is reading "Sult" by "Knut Hamshund". You won't get that without being familiar with Norwegian culture.

I am going to answer to the parts of your post that points to things I said and you comment about it.
DRHuff wrote: Aahhh! The joy you feel when wishing death upon millions of people. Correction...
I am not whishing the death of anyone.
I only expect them to get what they search for.
I know real people that shouted "it is all a hoax" really loud, wore no mask, didn't reduced contacts, etc... then they got the virus (some of them even spreaded it into family and friends that not necessarily had the same convictions). Then they had the damn luck to get to the hospital a bit before they got full. They were / are now occuping beds that were / are being denied to people that has been trying to comply and to be careful, reducing contacts and so on, but still got infected, two of them (elder people friends of my father) died.
Sorry but... in that case, they are the ones that deserve to get through the illnes solo at home and not puting more people in risk just because their idiocy.
If they survive... I will be happy about it and hope they learnt the lesson.
If they don't... I won't be happy, but I won't be sad either.

As the world is going, it wouldn't surprise me if we trigger something that drastically decimates our population. And seeing how the world is going... if it really happens, we will deserve it. I only hope the following generations have a chance to survive and they learn about our errors.
