Underserved how? What software do they use that could be improved?

I'm thinking about starting a company that does programming work for areas of society that normally don't have the best software to work with. I've read stories of code in science labs running orders of magnitude longer than it should because of bad algorithms, for example. What other niches are there like this, which could be served by a business that seeks them out? Currently I'm thinking of...
It is a purely ideological fork. Some people really didn't like that the Godot twitter account was posting explicitly leftist games (gamedevs with leftist politics? what a shock.) and then they started harassing the devs on github, got blocked, and then forked the engine. It's embarrassing that this is near the top of HN.

There's a hundred of these and I want something well-written. I'm primarily using Nim but a C/C++ book wouldn't hurt. Ideally it would have lots of exercises.
I'm not. Texting as a form does not lend itself to the kind of high thought letterwriting does.
Bought a collection of his essays recently.
Cruelty Squad. Made with Godot.
I mean, that was kind of the idea behind the JVM, wasn't it? It's not a terrible idea.
What editor are you using to do this? I assume it's vim or emacs.
For certain games it's still borked. Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines is among my favorites and it's unplayable.
Not the OP, but it's extremely rude and unprofessional. Nitpicking a guy's college transcripts from 20 years ago? Come the fuck on. His experience and skills should have been enough, asking those dumbass questions is an insult, one that he didn't have to take.
The article you post just says some gen z were able to take advantage of low mortgage rates in 2020. And in cheaper parts of the country. It doesn't mean anything for the overall socioeconomic condition
No, it doesn't. It just sends 1 ECHO_REQUEST packet. If this was sarcasm I could not detect it
I have no idea why that isn't standard practice in every codebase. I should be able to figure out your code without having to ask, or dig through issues or commit messages. Just tell me what it's for!
Part of the fun is figuring it out yourself. It can feel oppressive at times, but I personally really enjoyed it.

Despite being a smart person, I've never been the kind of A type personality who does well at school. The environment just doesn't suit me. I don't know why. I've been told I have ADHD, but I do fine and manage time well when I'm in an actual job setting with stakes.I'm in college now and have just been told I won't be receiving my CS degree. I came in as an English major because my grades...
Asking to not be oppressed is a manifesto?
It's a catch-all term for people who are not mentally ill, but have different neurological characteristics from the norm. The most obvious example is autistics, but this would also include ADHD, people with sensory issues, etc.
It may interest you to know that Noodler's, as far as I know, is a one man operation. It's literally one guy making ink in his shed.
That's not the author of the post. That's a scientist the the post is about.
Also don't see how it's possible. EEE relies on permissive licensing, which lets you make a better, proprietary version that everybody switches to. Mastodon is AGPL. I suppose if Meta built a competitor that was so great it killed all the Mastodon servers... But thats not going to happen. Perhaps if they built an activityPub platform, then disabled federation when they got enough users? Doubt that would work either.
I'm on Fedora and had to turn SELinux off to get nix to work properly.
Helix uses ropes for strings. Supposedly it's well suited to lots of little edits. I've been meaning to dive into the code, but all the issues marked 'good first issue' already have a PR waiting to be merged.
This comment section is odd. Lot of people talking about how kids today can't swap music at school. They can, its called Spotify. Its not perfect, but thats what the vast majority of kids do, they dont go out and buy expensive equipment just for aesthetics.

Night and fucking day, my friend.
I recently had an idea for a spellcrafter game that uses forth. check back in several years?
My personal interest would be in reading assembly for the sake of reverse engineering. So, maybe 6502 is not the best option for me. I'll take a look at those books, thanks.
