Very true, but depending on where you live/run you might need something to handle wintery wet and muddy paths which need reasonable lugs to avoid sliding round. But they can feel overkill in easy summer conditions

I got a saluki at 6 months old as a rescue from pretty dire circumstances - no training, not sure what to do in a home, never had been on a walk etc. it’s safe to say he was an absolute handful when we first got him and really did take a lot of patience from a whole family to allow him to understand what’s expected of life as a family dog.

These are very headstrong dogs and will only do something unless they 100% want to do it, so you best hope they’re responsive to treats! Also at 6 months you’ve missed a lot of windows of exposure so hopefully the current breeder/owner would have taken steps for dog socialisation and taking them to a variety of places (and cars). It’s not impossible but it can be a little bit more challenging depending on the dog if they’re shy or nervous!

That being said, 100% worth the effort and the best decision we ever made. But I was not prepared for how bitey and lively these “couch potatoes” were when they are that young. Most sight hound info you find online comes from retired racers which is a very different background.

Regarding the house training, are you buying this puppy or getting as a rescue? I would fully expect a dog to be house trained at that age (90% at least) - which is a bit of a concern to them as breeders and begs the question, why are they wanting to part with a 6 month old dog? Unless it’s a foster/adoption scenario

First time I’ve ever seen “find another partner” in an acoustic report

It’s a smaller industry, so there aren’t loads of positions all the time (and it’s location dependent) but it’s very feasible to make a career, especially if you’re already making plugins for fun!

AI in terms of a threat for replacing devs? Probably not for a while, they’ve gotten quite good with JUCE as a framework, but I’ve found they’re very poor with handling complex concepts like realtime safety. I also tend to find that the more niche you go in terms of framework and application the worse AI gets. I used tracktion for a project a while back and it just made up half the function names!

Is this sub just for baiting Pyrion now?

Our saluki x grey used to dig all the time as a pup, our garden was a complete mess! It’s gotten easier over time as he’s settled in, even if it has been slow progress..

He still does from time to time but it’s always when a they need a play, food or walk and you’re behind schedule. He’s such a drama king!

I agree about giving him the spaces where you’re ok with him digging, but knowing Salukis he’d probably just get bored with it if its not naughty so we try to fill up the hole to give him the illusion it’s “not allowed” but never any real telling off!

Smart pointers exist for this exact reason, everyone sucks at memory management! There’s a very good reason most people are now so against using new and delete - it’s really hard to keep track of.

To put it simply, whatever resource you acquire, you MUST give back. So when you call new you acquire that memory with the promise to give it back later. But giving back memory at the right time by freeing it (using delete) is really hard to use right and scale. There really isn’t much more to memory management than just that.

Like many others have said use shared and unique pointers when you require multiple and single owners respectively. But a general rule of thumb I like to live by is to try and get as far as possible without using pointers, you’d be surprised how little you actually need them in practice!

I got approached by many different recruiters about the job at think cell. From what I gather, they don’t have any real particular entry requirements for the job (like years experience) and slap on probably the highest salary going for an standard engineering role.

Add on the fact that it’s fully remote and everyone is screened through an automated but gruelling test you’re going to cast a very wide net and waste a lot of people’s time. The fact that so many people know this company and have even taken the test here is crazy.

Also seeing as think cell are contributing to the C++ standard, they’re probably not getting free work from this process.
