My job is very lax, so I can just bring in a ThinkPad, and do some coding.

How many crimes were committed with burner phones?

No, D, the original “nu-lang”.

Hungarian here, Fidesz blamed previous prime minister Ferenc Gyurcsány for all of its incompetence, up until the Russo-Ukrainian war started.

LLM-based code scanning is a joke. It flags the D standard library and runtime as a North Korean malware.

“They go low we go high!”

This kind of cancerous thinking made people stop advocating for even stronger secularism, because the US had a “good christian” in the white house, so it’s not religious fundamentalism that is the problem, but “fake christians” wanting to implement Project 2025.

If it looks like a duck…

“Carnivore diet”/keto propaganda makes me wanna go vegan, up until I see vegan propaganda.

No, you need to learn a lot more. Other programming concepts, programming paradigms, algorithms, and many more.

No, games were still broken on arrival, they just were left broken (save for PC).

No, you don’t understand, all assault rifles must match the power of each other, with slight variation in sound, firing rate, range, damage per hit, etc.!

Cheat codes were a byproduct of flimsier game development standards.

Main reason why game development times inflated so much were due to today’s gamers have higher standards when it comes to balancing. Some indies even have to rely on volunteer testers, just so they don’t get bomb threats from Asmonfan1488 due to not all weapons were perfectly balanced.

Null termination is no longer recommended, use fat pointers instead!

Reference values are quite useful, such as:

double valOut;
if (parseDouble(valOut) == 0) { //Argument of parseDouble is ref type, no & needed for input, no exceptions needed for error handling
    [...] //No error, code executed normally
} else {
    [...] //Erroreus input
}

The & operator references the value.

int i;
int* p = &i;

In C++, the & at the function argument makes it a reference type (safe pointer).

void someFunction(int& refVal) {
    [...]
}

This reminds me that I just repaired my old Eastern bloc made speakers, a pair of Videoton DCR 2520A. The woofers have out-of-spec surrounds now since the now for real co-op (?) that bought the tools from Videoton during the robber-privatization worn out the tool needed to make the up-to-spec surrounds. They still had the tooling for the midrange speakers, and after some modification I could use some general purpose surrounds from Aliexpress.

Someone needs to make an install script that just does that!
