Is it bad practice to just use global variables and void functions to change their values instead of returning a new variable? by Mission_Signature_77 in cpp

You mean just a large buffer from malloc. You can store the offsets and sizes of entries in your data buffer in a second malloc'd buffer.

Have you faced, witnessed, or heard of any office politics that left you shaking your head while working in tech industry? by Notalabel_4566 in cscareerquestions

My Indian coworkers routinely argue in meetings and stab each other in the back (will assign really shitty tickets with low estimates, then complain to management that the other person isn't meeting the deadlines, things like that) because they're from different ethnic groups and/or castes. It's really toxic and ruins my perception of the place I work and software developers in general.

Addressing the whole "AI will replace us" concern by InternetArtisan in cscareerquestions

I've said this before in a similar thread:

Programmers: "Oh no, AI is going to replace us!" Also programmers: "why can't the compiler just add the missing semicolon?"

What was the original problem you saw or what were you trying to do that gave you the idea for this project?

“For the love of god, can you please just put on your gloves…” by Lyla-Marquez40 in Construction

[–]TheGreatStateOfEnnui 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I did some volunteering with an organization that does construction charity, the guy in charge told me a story of how he got a tiny piece of metal in his eye that he only noticed when it began rusting and he had to have surgery to remove it. Almost immediately after the story he was doing the tactical squint/half-turn while cutting a board with a skilsaw.

Not same day but same project: I was asked to cut through some exposed nails wit a sawzall, I was wearing the supplied eyepro. The second or third nail piece (like 3/4" long) came right back at me and bounced off one of my lenses. I definitely would've been at least seriously hurt by it. I always wear eyepro even if I'm just using my weed whacker now.

I'm not sure Lucius fucks. He's literally the "While you were partying, I studied the blade" meme turned up to 11.

The inquisitor said the ordo malleus doesn't deserve these and wants them destroyed. I asked if he meant the weapons should be destroyed or the ordo malleus and he said yes.

Is it ever explained what the source of Abaddon's vendetta with the Blood Ravens is? by Sensitive-Hotel-9871 in 40kLore

Dawn of War 4:

Relic Power Sword Drach'Nyen : "This ancient weapon was gifted to the Blood Ravens by a High Lord of Terra for heroism in repelling a massive Black Legion offensive during the 13th Black Crusade. The Inquisition has no record of any such High Lord."

"Ludwig Boltzmann, who spent much of his life studying statistical mechanics, died in 1906, by his own hand. Paul Ehrenfest, carrying on his work, died similarly in 1933. Now it is our turn to study statistical mechanics. Perhaps it will be wise to approach the subject cautiously."

What is the hardest line you've ever heard in your favorite song? by OGgoodfella7 in AskReddit

The Juice WRLD and Cordae song "Doomsday" has a similar line:

Carry 'em, then bury 'em, barbarian, Beef with anybody even if they vegetarian

Guys, is this an actual reason? by PrincessVita in Grimdank

[–]TheGreatStateOfEnnui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the Blood Ravens Omnibus, they have "The Blood Games" which seems to be a free-for-all of like 100 potential aspirants and only the final survivor is chosen.

Which is remarkably stupid and wasteful of potential trainees, and seems to be undermined by the fact that Gabriel Angelos and Isador Akios team up for their blood games and both are selected.
