While you’re not wrong in a sense, OP is not from the USA.

In the future, games will renders about nine pixels and it will all be upscaling.

Turns out the giant earth heater wasn’t the best business concept.

They’re in the business of selling the illusion of security to university administrators.

True, but what I’m really talking about is the unbeatable user experience of having an application that looks and feels as if it were a native Windows application, because it is and has that first-class platform support straight from the vendor.

With that said, most new cross platform applications today are probably more like electron or Web apps.

I’ve actually found C# quite pleasant to develop with, so long as I didn’t have to worry about targeting non-Windows platforms.

Twitter speed run.

Work is rewarded with work.

Posting quote because my client doesn’t show any information about this link:

These are things in PHP which make me sad. They are real, objective issues which I have personally encountered in my normal day-to-day activites. Nothing on this site should be taken to be the view of my employer or is related to my employer in any way.

Sort of. We used C, but no dynamic memory allocation.

I’m in this photo and I don’t like it.

Almost the same as me. All kinds of programming jobs. I usually end up working in Python or C, for embedded systems work.

Of course, if you’re talking hobby, it could be anything.

You’re right. It’s a stop gap, but when you’re talking about a code base that has been maintained for 20 years plus you can’t really sell re-implementation.

Most recently it was with an older version of C++ using shared pointers.

You can also make everything a smart pointer and be done with it.

I can count on more than one hand the number of large scale projects where converting everything to smart pointers fixed major memory issues. Even if smart pointers can’t handle circular references, the number of projects that just don’t manage their memory correctly at all and were fixed by introducing these tools is way too high.

It’s almost backwards compatible. You can use old or new foot guns.

Ah, C++. An endless supply of footguns where the difference between a junior and a senior dev is knowing what parts of the language to never use.

Far more impressive and interesting news.

You’ve also got a 20% chance that there isn’t even a real position open and this is a market survey, and a 20% chance that management already selected who they’re going to hire in advance and is doing this job posting purely as a formality.

For building a quick template that I can tweak to my needs, it works really well. I just don’t find it to be an intuitive scripting language.

Nazi. Say it with me! N-a-z-i. Nazi!
