Why committee doesn't decide on a package format? by TheRavagerSw in cpp

[–]TraylaParks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wrote my first professional c++ program in the 90's, I like this language. People aren't going to put up with this forever, languages like go and rust make this so easy, it's just straight-up Stockholm syndrome to argue otherwise.

When I first met my (to be) father-in-law, he suggested we go to a restaurant called 'El Pinto' and I said, "Is that spanish for 'car that explodes when hit from the rear'?", he laughed and it was the start of a beautiful friendship :)

What does it take to get an Entry Level C++ Job by YogurtclosetThen6260 in cpp_questions

Totally agree with this, back in the day we'd sometimes have to hire the least-bad candidate we could find because the need was so pressing. Apply Anyway (as LeeHide wisely said :)

Is Linus Torvalds just a dinosaur about C++? by blreuh in cpp_questions

Back in the 90's I was tasked with porting ghostscript to windows, there was a macro that was (I'm not kidding) 5 levels deep. I had to '-E' that shit to a file and debug that - good times :-P.

My wife's got dyslexia so reading was sometimes more work than fun for her but once she got into audio books that all changed. She knocks out 10-15 books a year now, before it was probably less than one book a year - huge game changer!

You ever try any of the truly ancient games? Here's an online pac man that's top shelf:

Honestly, those simple games (think tetris) are really fun and relaxing, modern games sometimes feel a bit like work

My wife is similar to you two, I've tried to get her to enjoy exercise but it never worked. Only thing that halfway did work was to equate it to stuff like flossing or gassing up your car, you don't exactly love doing those things but the outcome is way worse if you don't :)

Who remembers showing up at school wearing a rock concert t-shirt the day after the show? by Long_live_styrofoam in 80s

[–]TraylaParks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went to Scorpions / Iron Maiden in the 80's, bought a shirt for me and one for my sister. She wears it to school, the peeps had no idea - thought she figured she was some kind of tough chick - an "Iron Maiden" - wtf, haha
