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

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)

It can be hard to find full 4k atmos versions online in my opinion. But usual benefits are the same for any physical collection. Actually having something tangible you can look at and touch and know you’ll always have as long as you look after it and disc rot doesn’t come for it before your own demise.

Blurays are still way better than streaming though, especially the UHD ones. Bitrate is always way higher and the audio is noticeably crisper in my opinion.

I still regularly buy Blu rays, but it has to be for a specific kind of film or one of my favourites.

Nice to see the brain drain of the US in action. I’m glad I don’t have to see it’s downfall firsthand.

You’d be surprised how stubborn some people can be in keeping with older ways of doing things, even more so in academia and the like.

There’s actual medication that was tested on animals that was completely fine then when it got approved it was given to human women and caused crazy amounts of miscarriages. Different species are not comparable when it comes to medication, testing on animals is almost completely pointless.

Would be more apt if animals’ physiology was even remotely similar to humans though. Test environments in programming can at least be exact replicas of production environments.

Where’s the final panel where you find out it’s been abandoned and nobody else wants to work on it

Oh that’s an interesting tidbit, didn’t know that

I’m pretty sure docker recommends that it runs under WSL when on windows.

.net from core 2 was awesome. From 5 onwards it’s been beyond amazing!

Please don’t be one of them Devs that does everything on discord. It’s awful for knowledge. You’ll just get people asking the same questions because you don’t have an FAQ or a wiki, or even a forum elsewhere that’s easily searchable.

The waiting around for others conversations are always wild and funny. They’re worth the awkward moments waiting alone.

Oh, I don’t know which way around it is then actually. I’ve not subscribed before, but a colleague does so it’s possible I’ve misheard or misinterpreted what he said

Jet brains does still let you keep the last used version when you unsubscribe
