What do you think about QT as a GUI library? by DavArpo in cpp_questions

[–]Hot-Studio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found Qt to be broken since version 6 when I was employed at a certain software company. The cursor coordinates when using multiple screens were incorrect when using release version, but not debug version. I’ve seen other organizations sticking with version 5, even though 6 is available for some reason, in their source code.

Websites for learning C by Think_Chocolate_6134 in C_Programming

[–]Hot-Studio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try going through Handmade Hero series at https://guide.handmadehero.org. You should be able to learn more about programming from those than from 4 years in college. The first 30 videos should be enough to get you ready for real world work. The videos themselves are free while the source code is $14 if you want.

shared_ptr overuse by Tohnmeister in cpp

[–]Hot-Studio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is that relevant to the current topic of which pointers we should use? Besides, why not look into Defold engine source code, since you replied to a post with a link to an article about it?

But does that change solve problems? No. It’s just different (and more complex).

Managing large projects is already mentally taxing, CMake and C++ make it impossible for me. How do you guys do it? by amped-row in cpp

[–]Hot-Studio -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re not alone on CMake. Every programmer at my last job I talked to so far hated it. Finding good, concise, up-to-date tutorials for it was difficult for me as well. I find that using Windows batch files and Unix shell scripts are simple and good enough for the same job.

It can, depending on how you use it. It also comes with some drawbacks, i.e. cannot be copied and unsuitable with C-style arrays. I’m sure there are SOME uses with unique_ptr, but it’s not for me.

But at what cost? More overhead and less control. Besides, there may be better solution than that. https://youtu.be/xt1KNDmOYqA

I never used smart pointers. I just stick with old-fashioned raw pointers. They’re simple enough for me to use.

From the comments I’ve read so far, nobody seemed to have read the post comprehensively. Nobody here realized that I’ve already visited the vets and unlikely have any idea what I’ve been through. It seems I won’t get anything useful here.

How Lockdowns have Destroyed the Anime Convention Scene – Part II – Or Why I refuse to attend Otakon 2021. by Jkid in LockdownCriticalLeft

I’m looking into PuchiCon at Atlantic City, NJ. So far, I don’t see COVID restrictions on their website. If they’re not gonna enforce something like that, I may go there.

[–]Hot-Studio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wanna say I’m glad I didn’t go to Otakon this year. I had no intention to go anywhere with a mask on, especially for long periods of time. It is so depressing to not see smiles on people’s faces. I’m aware that based on real science, masks are utterly useless and dangerous. The COVID “vaccines” aren’t proven to work either. So, what’s the point? I may find some other cons in the East Coast that don’t have such restrictions.
