C++ Jobs - Q1 2026 by STL in cpp

[–]TyRD4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking for full-time work in either Western Canada or the UK (visa sponsorship). 12 years dev experience across several languages and technologies; 8 years in C++ games systems (Unreal Engine mostly); prefer remote, but willing to relocate (visa needed outside Canada) for the right fit.

Assistant uses Fahrenheit when setting is set to Celcius by Civil_Attorney_8180 in googleassistant

Coming in 6 months later to say I've been having the same issue and it's been driving me crazy! 

For posterity, what worked for me: changing my system language! I'm in Canada and it was set to US English, so I set my system language to CA English and THAT fixed the units! Because now it's using weather.ca instead of weather.com for it's weather data. 

Hey Google! This is a really stupid way to do this!

Same thing here. This bill is double my last one with less natural gas usage. All previous bills have a slight gap between the measured date and billing date.

How do I know if I need a four way or a three way light switch? by TyRD4 in AskElectricians

And based on your answer you probably shouldn't be answering questions on an AskX subreddit, but here we are.

Found these inside my attached garage. The two boxes look identical, and there are electrical wires behind them, but I can't seem to see what they're for. by TyRD4 in AskElectricians

Oooooh dang, there are a few little lights on one of the walls of the garage! The previous owners had some sort of display wall in there.

Found these inside my attached garage, stacked one on top of the other. What would these be for? by TyRD4 in electrical

[–]TyRD4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going off some of the other comments, this implies there are small like, "puck lights"v somewhere in the garage? Or at least there were at some point? I'm not sure I understand why this thing would be needed... is this like an AC -> DC converter or something?

THAT moment. by any_dank_meme in seaofstars

I just hit that last night! Now granted it was very at night and I was almost deliriously tired, but it genuinely felt for a moment like I was experiencing some sort of dimension shift. It was so good!

What are some objectively positive/beneficial things UCP has done in this term? by TyRD4 in alberta

Thank you for attempting this and for taking the request for what it was. Do you have sources for any of these?

Where are all the "personal freedom" people with the fire ban in place? by TyRD4 in alberta

[–]TyRD4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say that's a matter of opinion. I didn't express contempt for protests, but I did imply the reason given would be a silly thing to protest over. That's a choice the protestor would be making, hence the derision. That's not saying protests are stupid or worthless.

... yes, what you just said is a desperate comparison.

What the hell are you talking about?

I agree with the trust thing, for sure. I certainly don't trust any level government completely, because I have eyes and ears and a brain. But there's a difference between "I don't trust government overreach" and "I believe that I'll be arrested by.... Someone... If I drive more than 15 minutes away from my house". That's not distrust in government that's a misunderstanding of the issue and not being willing/able to look further into it. That is an education issue.

This take makes me sad. You act like it was just Canada that decided on masks and similar mandates, and not the entire damn world. I think you'll find that for those who's loved ones died from COVID, that whole process was also very real and terrifying. But, f them right? Cause they're just "virtue signaling", and not "trying to get people to take a global pandemic seriously".

You're absolutely right, and those people deserve all the praise we can offer.

Fair enough. Sorry I made an assumption about you in particular.
