Appreciate the kind response. It's true that I get unexpectedly overwhelmed by life at times. Hope to gain more maturity as I progress. Thank you!

Those are very helpful insights for me. I'm fairly young and get overwhelmed sometimes -- resulting in a post like this. Thanks a bunch!

That's seems like a helpful approach, I will try and work on this. Thank you!

Agree with your second statement. I work at a semiconductor startup. Both the CEO and the CTO are excellent folks. Kind, extremely competent, hardworking, and reasonable; I love my time spent interacting with them.

Truly! The NASA article on the probe mentions its autonomous course corrections abilities. Does anyone have an idea about what kind of onboard CPUs/SoCs do probes like this employ? Which ISAs? How about other hardware like memory and s

Your mention of Joel's post made me curious to find and read it. I assume this is the post in question: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2006/10/25/the-guerrilla-guid... I'd say much has changed since

Discord is awful to use a desktop application. It's sluggish and cumbersome, not snappy and lightweight like a native application would be.

Very interesting! I'm always amazed at kind of creative work I come across on here. Did not expect to read a success story about generating imagery for thermal printers this morning, but I'm glad I did. Btw, what do you mean &quot

Slightly tangential, but I got curious how is Google selling the whole "Privacy" Sandbox idea. Found this little nugget right on the homepage[1]: "Tailored content is critical for the open web and this includes showing people

Not all about Telegram is golden however. At some point last year, amidst the skyrocketing popularity of the app and WhatsApp coming under heat for various reasons, someone at Telegram thought of a fantastic (read: user-hostile) way to &quo

I can empathize with this to some extent. I realized that homebrew is too slow and bloaty for me, so I decided to write an alternative from scratch (also meant as a learning project). Eventually got discouraged by the sheer amount of real-w

> IMO the use of `new` in modern C++ (as is the case in the writer queue) is often a code smell As a naive practitioner of modern C++, I'd love it if you could elaborate on this.

Yeah what a shame...I too prefer to pretend like a robot on this forum.

Piggybacking on this, the first thing I wanted to look at was what data do they exactly collect. Well, they do not explicitly list it (not sure if that would be considered legal in countries with strict privacy laws). I quote from the offci

I think I could use your rule. Amazon delivery is outrageously atrocious in my (poor) country. As an instance, this was the condition of an assorted pack of fruit juices that got delivered to me just yesterday: https://imgur.com&

It is for me. I am quite conscientious and I expect others to do their jobs at least as per the prescription, if not scrupulously. "New" means "new" to me, no exceptions. As a matter of fact, I would go to great lengths

> And because it is in C I'm curious, what difference does it make if it was written in, say, Rust, or C++. Wouldn't you still be able to talk to it in a similar way? What's so special about C in this context?
