I actually used to do this and didn't even know it wasn't preferance before I worked at a time

Nice Dell XPS. I have one too, also taskbar on the side is disgusting

I guess you never encrypted your strings before then

@cave "sometimes without reason" = you need to investigate your code more and not accept these things, everything has a reason

@Torbuntu it's the best c++ ide imho

Static assert, assert, and STD libs. *mic drop* meme broken

@Alice idk what's up with you but this topic is about the sexual thoughts these cheerleaders would cause so can't say your comments make much sense

You really do learn to understand the errors though, it's an art and they are always right even if verbose

As a reverse engineer I approve this rant

@rEaL-jAsE well it is a shitty joke 😉

You need to buy a logic analyzer

@C0D4 it's the message header magic number for version control/integrity checking/message start delimeter since this is all sent over the air a few times

@MarioC ive done win10 docker stuff its indeed annoying https://github.com/stevemk14ebr/...

I feel like the fact that ie looks like a child drawing explains so much. That image should just be the "here's why we don't support ie" evidence

@gnulinuxer4fun I feel like the log 10 trick is faster. Or at least better style, if you made it a C++ constexpr it be best of both

I feel this, unfortunately.

The internship hiring process is _worse_ than articles about how poor the hiring process in the tech field is. I probably applied to 80 internships and got even an email back from 5. Then a few of those took me halfway through the process and just ghosted, no rejection, no acceptance, just *POOF GONE*. One of them expected me to drive across 2 States for an in person interview with 1 week notice, during middle of the day midweek while I have classes. And the final place was dope AF and hired me.

But seriously fuck hiring, let alone hiring while being an intern.

I worked a remote imtermship gig this year and had to quite because my boss would schedule a meeting for some day, miss the meeting, and then call me at 9 or 10pm the next day saying 'let's do the meeting now' No respect for the little guys man, no respect.

Pretty much always yes unless I'm holding a non owning pointer. In that case I just use a raw pointer or a reference if I want the class lifetime bound to what I'm pointing at

Too bad my school blocks external DNS servers. Gotta use their shit server that goes down left and right

And I trust cloudflare more than Google or my isp so I don't see your point @hashris. The secure as much as possible and are a pretty transparent company about what they do

@CozyPlanes I don't think it's excessive, feels natural at this point

I'm on a few months smoke break already 😛

I did alot of Lego mindstorm programming with those visual blocks. It was fun, and if you know the construct you want to make it's pretty much possible to do anything. The issue I had was information density, I could write programs in just a few lines of code but it'd take up my entire screen if I did it with blocks. To each his own, it's just less efficient imho

Modbus is fun, every vendor uses a custom implementation of the spec and half of them are non compliant or have custom extensions

I've already got my VPN over tcp, when I had udp it would drop out every few minutes (idk why). Switching to tcp keeps me up for a few hours and then DNS resolution fails to the privateinternetaccess.com (my provider) causing it to go down till I restart.

I like the idea of DNS over https but I think that's application specific right, they have to support that?

I'll look into dnsmasq, never used anything like it before, caching is new to me

I did this, gaming is fun. My triple monitor system with cherry mx blue says fuck you too

12, asked for your age and told you that you were a dinosaur if over 30. Then I showed my parents and told them to try it

@gnulinuxer4fun yea no that's just wrong. References and ptrs optimize to exact same assembly stored all the same ways. References MAY be nice to use since you don't have null but they have their own problems too and can't be just swapped out in all cases

Also Linux has a struct called class so have fun with renaming that. Also c and c++ have subtly different type alaising rules so have fun finding my the newly created undefined behavior that will cause your port to "randomly" crash

Yo don't need functional programming to use functional concepts.

Use message passing instead of locks and atomics. Actually just use the actor pattern everywhere it solves pretty much every thing

Strive for functions without side effects. Param mutation is fine if it's limited.

Two rules and you are 1000x better at distributed computation

Ask for forgiveness, not persmission

IT if you wanna do devops, system maintenance, random tech support

Cs if you want to learn the theoretical tools to solve software problems. This is like higher level math, data structures, algorithms. I personally chose this as I could already program and wanted to learn the "more correct" way to solve problems.

SE if you want your education to be more applied, meaning less math more code. This is not always true though some colleges use SE and CS to mean the same thing which I don't agree with but whatever.

IMHO CS it's the best all around choice if you can already program and are good at math, but I'm biased since I'm CS

Server side rendering in node with an import that used 'window' caused this for me. One of my loops just didn't run sometimes, like totally just skipped it and continued on causing domino effect of errors. I questioned my ability to write a for loop for over a half hour

@PRein coding high is fantastic as long as I'm not crazy high, just a little. And you have to get high while programming and already in the zone
