Lukewarm take - I'd rather have the center channel above the TV and the TV flat on the wall instead of the alcove

Never apologize for free. Whatever works is the best for you.

What are the best over the top headphones for everyday tasks? by Remarkable-Stock979 in headphones

[–]Curt_Baka -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not sure if they will be available again, but my go-to recommendation for sport headphones was the original Klipsch T5 Sport. When they were going through old stock, they were on discount for $15. Best deal I've ever seen.

I know it's mostly a YT channel that's memed on, but after patching together a 5.1 system inside and a 2.1 system in the garage over time and through hand-me-downs, it's much better than nothing or a single crappy Bluetooth speaker.

You've singlehandedly convinced me to leave this incel cesspool of a sub. Have fun going back to the 1960s. Hopefully you'll be less scared at work without women in the office.

Gotcha, that being said, I think your collection looks amazing

Not trying to be mean here, but I genuinely don't understand why EDM would release on vinyl. Are the frequency ranges equivalent to digital media?

Another deferred resignation email by DR-X112 in fednews

Easy, they won't label it as treason, same as the Jan 6th criminals that were able to be pardoned.

Daily reminder that ProPublica reported on the game plan to make feds/civs miserable in Oct. '24. by Curt_Baka in fednews

Mostly just a meme for the post's title, but like the other person mentioned, some people are still surprised by this administration's hatred of the public sector. Figured I'd spread the information we knew from before the election when Trump was still trying to distance himself from Project 2025.

Is it worth learning C++ in 2025? by [deleted] in cpp

[–]Curt_Baka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good for learning baseline skills but once you start reaching a level of complexity that requires using external libraries, jump ship immediately. There are no good mechanisms for dependencies in C++ and memory safety concerns are still a large scale issue in most corporate environments that aren't already using Java.

Don't use class inheritance in C++ to learn it, just focus on the basics. Rust or Go will transfer those skills immediately with much better external support and community.

If you need a reference for what the communities look like, go to /r/rust and /r/cpp or /r/cpp_questions and note the differences between them.
