Is it available on Ubuntu?

C++ has classes though and if you start with C and then try to go to other Object-oriented languages you’ll be a little lost. But, by learning C++ first, you’re pretty much learning C at the same time, you just need to avoid using classes.

I learned C++ as my first language and it was a great way to understand the core issues of a programming language — like memory allocation, memory freeing, the difference between memory addresses and the memory contents themselves, threads, system calls, etc. Java obscures these nuances to a degree, but Python is too friendly and makes it hard to understand them at all.

I believe if you learn C++ you can easily learn any other language. After C++, I learned Python, JavaScript, and Java in a few days each without formal instruction. If you learn Python first, you’re probably going to struggle learning those other languages because you haven’t grasped the lower level concepts yet and may never if you’re not in a formal setting that forced you to learn them.

No one disagrees that Python is easier, but if your goal is to get a foundation in programming that allows you to easily pick up other languages, you should start with C++.

I am mostly a bug diver, but I’ve been playing the Super Earth maps. What I find annoying is the match making. It is very easy to find a match on bug planets normally, but very hard on super earth. I usually need to start a game and then SOS to fill slots. Also, the maps are kind of repetitive. It would be nice if there was some variation based on where you are, rather than treating every city on earth like it’s basically identical. Finally, there is some bug where calling in stratagems does not work unless you enter the combination extremely slowly. Overtime, I’ve memorized some combos by muscle memory and can do it in a split second, but now I need to do it extremely slowly, which is hard to pull off while you’re being chased. And, I do have to agree that the illuminate are kind of annoying. Being constantly pestered by zombies chasing you just gets old. Let me just fucking stand here for a minute.

I thought they disabled DMs when some influencer refused to have Elon Musk’s babies and shared her DMs with a friend

Palmer Luckey is one of the ugliest mother fuckers I’ve ever seen in my life. Glad to see him and Zuck buried the hatchet, now that Zuck is kissing Trumps ass.

The AI industry not asking artists for permission will kill the art industry.

My social studies teacher cited this 20 years ago as a major reason electronics manufacturing was done primarily in China and other Asian countries. Point being — it’s hardly The NY Times saying this on its own. It’s widely accepted.

Pretty sure TikTok and instagram users have main character syndrome

You can know the impact of what building in the US would be by looking at Purism. They sell a Linux phone for $800. If you want the same phone built in the US, they charge $2000.

Yeah he was on Screen Savers with Sarah Lane (who he dated) and then Alex Albrecht. TechTV was bought by G4 and Screen Savers became Attack of the Show. While at TechTV, he started digg and actually advertised it on the Screen Savers, without clarifying that he was the owner (sneaky). Later, G4 fired all the Tech TV staff, so Kevin worked on digg full time. He went on to start diggnation podcast with Alex Albrecht — which they’ve recently brought back. As many know, when digg v4 launched, it was widely rejected, and the site lost its user base to Reddit. Now he’s trying to revive it with one of the Reddit cofounders after more than a decade.

Did they actually say that?

At least they tell you. I’ve had inputs take the full password and then truncate it silently, so you don’t actually know what they saved. Then, you try to login and they tell you wrong password.

I need to go back to this, never should’ve given it up honestly.

The recommendations are hard to beat, but I hate how these moderns streaming platforms make you a passive listener. My most enjoyable music listening days were when I actively managed my music collection.

I feel the same. The atmosphere is decidedly less doom-like in my view and I’m a little skeptical of these new gameplay mechanics. Riding flying dragons? I’m also not a fan of the way Marty Stratton handled the situation with Mick Gordon, which has damped my goodwill for the studio. I bought Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal on launch. I will not buy this game until it is bargain bin prices.

And, the planes hit at 9 in the morning, it’s not like he had time to bowl and then the planes hit. This guy was playing while the rest of the country was glued to their televisions.

Self-destruct implies the thing destroyed itself, that’s not the definition of self destruct.
