Meanwhile established sites with professional content are being pushed aside.
Making it extremely hard to actually find professional content because Reddit tends to cater to the lowest common denominator and most professional subs tend to corrupt over time.
to be fair most of the "professional" sites are just spam now. thats when it isnt entirely written by ai.
I was googling gen ai transformers yesterday and most of the results were just heavily SEOd websites, where the first few paragraphs are just repeats of as many related keywords as possible to get high up in Google. Then the actual content I was looking for was usually garbage.
The most professional content I've seen lately is things like a spaghetti recipe that explains the history of spaghetti, and my kids don't normally like spaghetti but they took seconds of this one because it's so good!
Now, let's talk about your choices in water here. You could go to a nearby spring and collect your own, but I find storebought water is just fine. You want to boil that water, which works best under high heat unless you want to wait forever!
Google has been killing those off for a while. Nowadays it's hard to find anything that isn't just the copy-pasted SEO bait non-articles covered in ads
How can I find those more professional sites? I'd need some, as it's sometimes hard to find info on OS API, as "it's bad practice to not use Johnny's Janky and Bloated Everything Library (JJBEL), that still handles XInput controllers through the DirectInput API, but it also has other extras". I've had issues with RawInput under Windows (with that, in theory, I can use Xbox One/Series controllers to their fullest potential), and all I get is either SEO-ridden advertisements for existing libraries (which wouldn't be a problem if they didn't have massive problems), or tutorials for said libraries. Since I'm working with D, I have to interface to C calls, which wouldn't be a problem if they were documented properly and in an accessible way.
My own D native and less bloated SDL replacement's (iota) development got halted for getting
nullfor device pointers no matter what, and with no proper instructions on how to resolve it.Because there isn't any money in non-SEO optimized ads.
