Software dev life

The Dune movies are all about how a guy can’t get his gf to trust him even when he can see the future

@MMatt14 That’s a good line

Shovel salesman tells everyone they should be buying more shovels.

@CryptoCyberia Maybe, they should have thought about that before telling the world they have IRBMs

@learntToCode Yeah, that's nit going to be good enough it seems lol

My god, Trump just keeps escalating and has demands that Iran will never accept. They are legitimately not afraid to die, and they will require some sort of concession to even consider coming to the table. I can't imagine markets will be very happy if US goes for their power.

chapter 2 of the pmpp book was great, really nice section the (void **) took me a bit to internalize (not used to writing c/cpp) but it felt good :))

@TracketPacer It would have a plug for the old disk drive in the back

@learntToCode wait how do i know if it has this

should i get it on my god

@stevekrouse Bit manufactorum

I hate the phrase "software factory"

@RichardEHagen1 @TracketPacer It probably boots fine. Hardware from that era was rock solid

@learntToCode @TracketPacer I have an LC crated up somewhere. I used it but added a 286 and switched to a 386 or so as my work was using windows.

@Burnzzz0 1. Somebody has the knife skills of a 7 year old 2. There is this stuff called salsa and it is really good unless made by gringos

Latinos will put cheap cuts of beef, raw onion and cilantro on some mashed corn and have the nerve to tell me their food is better. smh

@NewAgeRetroNerd Already being familiar with programming it looks like this is the best place to start:

@learntToCode Would you have any book recommendations for C++?

Yo, can any of my moots back this up? Wouldn't mind getting into C

@NewAgeRetroNerd I would go with a C++11 book as that was the update that changed how C++ is written.

@NewAgeRetroNerd That would be prudent

@learntToCode What if I learn both???

@beausolai @unusual_whales Thinking about it for 10s more he exudes serial fabulist vibes like Dario is going to sell me a monorail.

@beausolai @unusual_whales He exudes mental breakdown vibes. Altman exudes serial liar vibes. Musk is by far the most normal AI CEO who just exudes industry standard autism vibes.

Anthropic CEO: “Disagreeing with the government is the most American thing in the world.”

@TheCinesthetic Trying to get blocked are we?

Before J.J. Abrams took over, Paramount reviewed over a dozen scripts for a new Star Trek. Some focused on young Kirk and Spock, others on events after Nemesis. Abrams was chosen to reinvent the saga, not just resurrect it, and he absolutely succeeded.

@_trish_xD The argument for learning C first is that you are exposed to hardware and learn how machines really work.

why does the "just learn C first" debate get so heated? part of it is the pattern. there's something both beginners and senior systems devs share that the mid-level guy doesn't. but what is it? it's not syntax knowledge. the mid-level dev has that. what they share is *knowing their limits*. the beginner knows they don't understand memory. the senior knows exactly where their mental model breaks. the mid-level dev thinks they get it - they don't know what they don't know. that's the real reason cargo-cult C programmers are dangerous. they've learned enough to be confident. not enough to be careful. knowing a language and understanding what it's actually doing under the hood - those are so so different things. the gap between them is where bugs live.

@ChShersh Not doing C++ any favors here

Bro, I never understood this franchise. Why is Mario so popular? Why your dream fantasy is playing as a plumber who beats turtles??

@Sellingvol Real

real convo with my wife... how much is this claude thing? like $200 a month... Wtf is wrong with you?
