I think the memory stuff is pretty good nowadays. I’m sure I saw modern C++ can have a garbage collector. And the syntax is only runelike until you learn it, like any language really. As an industry C# developer I’ve recently taken up C++ as a hobby to better learn the workings of low level code and I’ve been enjoying it so far.

Why should no one be using c++?

It might do. I encountered it last week as I needed it for a powershell script. So it exists in that at least

Apple theme looks super weird to me

Mix halfway through like so instructions say so

I mean the clue is in the name really

It’s not failed, it’s just still too expensive for everyone. The venture capitalists have just moved onto AI though, which in the long term will actually be good for VR I think. It’ll just slow down in development for a little bit.

Wonder how long this one will last

The Romans were very open to having foreigners become citizens. Especially in the context of their time period.

I can’t have a sleep timer cause i need it to stay on for when i periodically wake up through the night. It’s so I don’t focus on my tinnitus and can no longer sleep.

Not another D&D podcast is what i always recommend if people want a dnd podcast. I stopped listening to it though since I listen to podcasts whilst sleeping now and ill easily lose track of what I have actively listened to and whatnot. Will eventually get back on it at some point though.

Lateral - guests try to solve weird puzzles that require lateral thinking

Regular Features - regulars take turns telling a funny story each. They can be all kinds of different things. Songs, plays where everyone needs to get involved, or even true stories backed up with covert voice recordings.

That’s Absurd Please Elaborate - regulars either explain something weird and interesting or listeners will prompt then with a question that they will go and research and explain in the podcast.

Horne Section Podcast - Little Alex Horne (of Taskmaster fame) interviews a guest alongside his band that will keep playing improv music of all kinds of different genres throughout. Regularly playing songs that end up being relevant to the guest, for example could be a funny retelling of their life or some fun word play on their name etc. the banter between Alex and band makes this one. They probably didn’t even need guests to be honest.

A Problem Squared - 2 regulars each try to solve a question posed by listeners. Is often very intellectual but the two hosts are very witty and can find an interesting and funny way to explain someone’s complicated concepts that anyone could understand and learn from.

James Acasters Perfect Sounds - each episode James shares an album specifically from the year 2016 to try and convince a guest that 2016 was the best year in music in an attempt to justify his obsession of trying to physically collect every album released in 2016. The reasons for it being 2016 specifically are very personal to him and uses each album to explain why. (This is like a companion piece/extension to a book he wrote prior on the same subject, except this time with other people involved and their opinions as well as the audible medium allowing him to share snippets of the sins they are talking about).

Some other ones I regularly listen to:

Cox n Crendor

Geekenders

Bill Burr’s Monday Morning Podcast

C.R.E.A.M. (Cars Rule Everything Around Me - The TDC Podcast)

SmartLess

Windbreaker

Better Offline (A good one for Tech Sceptics that hate the big tech monopolies)

Bang the donkey 6? Didn’t know they continued after 3

I find the pc version awkward to play, but the mobile one is great with a controller, feels like a souped up og Xbox version.

This is why you have style guides, policies and safeguards, with others checking PRs as they go through to catch this sort of stuff.

Plus I’m not saying everything should be commented. By default things should be explainable through the code and making sure variable and method names are descriptive, along with strong typing if your language has it.

Comments are there for when the code itself is not enough. But you’re right shit always creeps in eventually regardless of the best intentions. Which is why teams need tech debt breaks where no new features are added and they go through the code fixing the niggly things that haven’t been worth fixing whilst doing other features, and ensuring critical sections (the kind that usually have comments on them) are still working as intended and described accurately.

This is from a senior dev in the industry.

If you’re ever the one updating code with comments and not ensuring they match to the new updates, you are the problem, the comments are not.

comment anything that needs extra info to explain what and why (if the code is not inherently self explainable)

If your local politicians are as anti trump as your dry they are then go meet with them and ask how you can help them.

Not the same guy but even where i love it’s 18 but even I couldn’t think about dating someone below 21 they’re practically like kids still to me and I’m only 30, still don’t think I would go as low as 21 myself though that still seems too young for me haha.

Thanks, I hope so too
