Extend C++ for safety

I stopped reading after this. Why do you think C++ is unsafe in the first place? Someone decided ro extend it, and now you cannot even read an error message without finishing an university course on lambda calculus first.

You also have CLOCK_MONOTONIC, which could or could not be the number of seconds since last reboot.

To be honest, this mess was directly inherited from POSIX C system calls.

Nope. The LGPL license only requires that the user must be able to replace LGPL libraries with their own version. In theory root access is not required, but it will require some heavy effort from the manufacturer to provide a way to replace system libraries without somehow leaving a huge root exploit. Unless they implement virtualization.

You can listen to FM radio with gqrx relatively easily, if you can navigate through hundreds of input boxes.

sudo apt-get install gqrx

Anything more complicated will require some coding knowledge, unless someone already created a library for that specific thing.

There is also a ready-made package to listen to GPS signal, unfortunately it needs an external amplifier and a proper antenna, because RTL-SDR is not sensitive enough for GPS.

What about blockchain-powered distributed AI?

I advise booking a city square, loud music, background dancers, printed flyers with the URL of your Github repo, and a big countdown clock when you change repo visibility to public (Github has an option for that, but you need to click it yourself at the exact time, there no option to publish it on timer).

That’s exactly the difference. The business needs to sell shit, so your management needs you to get the shit done, just good enough quality to sell it, because otherwise you’re burning them money in salary.

Take any of your hobby projects, and ask yourself - ‘How do I sell this thing?’. You’ll arrive at all the same problems you are seeing in your company. Good managers will explain this and let developers make their own decisions and take part in business processes, bad managers will just dictate which buttons you need to press on your keyboard.

Lines of code is a really ancient metric for managers who are totally ignorant of technology, I was just putting it here for emphasis.

I believe the author got the wrong job position. If your job title is something like ‘software developer’, yeah you are measured by the amount of lines of code. You should aim for a senior role such as ‘system architect’ or ‘technical lead’, then you have some kind of guidelines from the sales side of business, and your job is to turn them into requirements and produce the final product, and you choose the tech stack and other details that are inconsequential for sales bug will get the programmers flinging keyboards.

Tyrian.

The iconic DOS shmup, featuring ship upgrades, 4 full episodes, and an excellent music.

I don’t care if the answer is wrong, play it anyway.

There’s an open-source port so you don’t even need to run DosBox:

https://github.com/opentyrian/opentyrian

If you use Linux, playing it as easy as

sudo apt-get install opentyrian

And it’s available on Android too:

Play OpenTyrian today, you will enjoy it.

It wasn’t an engine limitation, it was a design choice. Heretic is a colorful game, and it was made using Doom engine.

It’s especially bad in Quake, all monsters look like a moving piece of a wall, and the level design is walls on top of walls with some walls in-between. If not for the revolutionary game engine, it would seriously flop.

The answer is 256-color (8-bit) palette.

Yeah, it’s called AMD DASH, but it’s available only on select CPUs, unlike Intel’s variant.

Good bot

edit: I just found this, which seems to be exactly what I need: https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/en/man7/amt-howto.7.html

Ah yes, Intel’s famous security hole.

Some people stopped buying Intel CPUs after this feature was introduced.

Just learn Python bro. It’s totally not hard bro. I made websites in high school bro. Using only Excel spreadsheets bro. Just stop being lazy bro.

If that motivational speech won’t inspire any business person learn programming, nothing ever will. Try it on your friends and family!

Just let another manager bite you. Incubation period usually lasts one month.

Congratulations! You are now a meeting spreader and a spreadsheet warrior!

On the bright side, look at all the porn!

Is there a community for mobile/Android gaming? For now I’m just posting into askandroid community, and existing androidgamers community has something around 50 subscribers.

Granted, androidgaming on reddit was all about complaining that Play Store sucks, still it was big enough.

Pro tip: for(;;) takes less to type thann while(true)
