I watched an hour long video on why C++ sucks. I thought it wouldn’t be too hard to pick up since I can program well in probably 7 languages. I was wrong, now I’m convinced C++ is a dumpster fire and needs to die and I’ll never get a job in it unless someone holds a gun to my kid.
You need to introduce your partner to spoons.
I started because I heard it’s good for programming which turned out to be true. Initially stayed because it was customizable but had windows for games. Now just Linux because it’s better for everything I do. I think now people switching to Linux mostly do it because Linux is just better except for niche programs.
Buy one pack of 5, if good go back and buy 3+ more packs leaving some unopened and throw out old if not find better. Look at what sock you like currently and try finding similar. I like thin/semi thin. I don’t do brands, just feel with the hands.
Pro tip: If you buy tons of the same type of socks such as 20 pairs of black you can wash and dry them and they pair easily. It’s less effort than going to buy new ones.
I once had a cheap German everything fast food restaurant downstairs. I went there so often to eat in because I didn’t want to cook and clean.
I get it’s not what I would like to happen in general that a soldier invades another country. Still, they have to die in order to avoid being occupied. It’s a different debate on which is worse and depends a lot on the occupying country and the recipient, generally occupation bad tho.
Yeah, but no on the military part when considering most countries that are not aggressors. A hypothetical “punchback guy” that punches a bully back when you get punched is in my opinion not evil, the bully is.
When I’m hungry at an Asian restaurant I eat faster than fork/knife people with chop sticks.
Depends on the rice, sticky rice is really easy to eat with chop sticks, you can just generally grab anything and get a chunk. Medium sticky you can scoop up but non sticky/liquid sauce is a non-starter.
KDE has been stable recently unless you’re on some rolling release.
It works on mine out of the box so it’s probably related to something further down the stack. I probably can’t help but what distro?
I play all my games on Steam and the console like experience sounds like it’s up my alley but I prefer having a desktop and streaming over WiFi. If I were to upgrade anything in my setup it’d be a graphics card, not an entire machine.
Technically Plex is a paid closed source but self hosted thingy. I think the line is a bit blurry on this since I wouldn’t mind people posting about Plex even though I use Jellyfin. However, advertising it would be a nono.
Empire total war on release, the battle AI was absolute garbage to the point where you can just start as the Netherlands, walk over to Paris and take their country.
Before everyone researches fire by rank you could just spread out the infantry and have 2x firepower. Cavalry charges straight into you, pathfinding was so bad that you’d have a single column of men moving through a wide area. Fucking loved it though, it was a grand strategy spectacle and naval battles felt intense.
I had fun unlocking the pirates via config file edit and spamming out general units from a single buccaneer sword infantry and took over all of the Americas.
I have a good job and nice rent deal, so it’s around 70%. Market rate for the rent is probably another 10%+ of my salary but the landlord is not raising the rent which surprises me.
Just to repeat whatever other people are saying here: Join any scheduled activity that happens weekly.
You can do yoga, spinning, sports when they have 30+ groups, dancing, pottery class, painting class, hiking groups etc.
You can also convert other friend sources to board game groups via house parties where you have easy games first then bring out harder stuff later.
I used to only eat mild moldy cheese if at all then at 16 my girlfriend of the time got ugly ass blue cheese and said “just put jam on it” I tried it and it’s was so good. I’ve liked moldy cheese ever since, extra moldy/strong cheese are all good. There’s always a ratio of jam to cheese that tastes good, that ratio also keeps going down towards zero.
Correct
I mean, gdscript in godot is very nice and convenient. It offloads a lot of the heavy labor to the engine already and is very well optimised. If you need more speed and type safety C# is the logical next step. C# is very convenient and easy to pick up if you already know Typescript for being a strict language.
Also the guy’s criticism of C++ is basically that nothing is bundled in and keeping libraries compatible with each other is a PhD level activity. The packages are also allowed to fuck with your code with macros, preprocessing directives etc. on top of being written in a non-compatible standard where they only provide a compiled binary with an ABI instead of giving you the source. Updating dependencies becomes a massive pain also because of the same reason since it can so easily break everything without any reasonable stack trace. You might say “Ok whatever, I’ll just preprocess my C++ and rename all by variables” but dependencies can also break other dependencies with macros so there’s no escape. One dep updates, another one breaks in an 100% unrelated part of the program.
But for a reasonably sized project where C++ dependencies are already handled by Godot it’s not that bad. Especially if you’re the only developer or have at least good codebase standards on what parts of C++ you will use. I’ve personally not had any issues programming in C++ but that’s probably because I’ve never done anything at any scale whatsoever.
I don’t have a strong opinion on lower level languages since I work in garbage collected languages but I’ve heard good things about Zig, heard Rust in slow-mo development with a steep learning curve but very robust, C is nice and simple but lacks modern features.
TL;DR C++ devs would kill to get something like cargo in Rust, not because it’s a package manager but because it’s a standard for sharing code and managing compatability. If that’s not an issue for you C++ is a solid language like any other.
