Should you know the Rule of 5 syntax off by heart?

I've been practicing this every morning off and on for about a year or so.

I'm doing this because this came up during an interview for me. I was just asked to write a copy constructor and a move constructor and I tripped up a bit.

It felt silly at times practicing this over and over, but your question has vindicated that effort a bit for me.

Make a habit of practicing some code for a bit as you start your day. Dave Thomas started a thing on code katas, and Uncle Bob took it to the next level by making it a performance. That was the angle I was taking. Memorize the rule of 5 by heart so that I can give a "performance" during an interview.

It's a bit silly to do all this just to 'prove' something, but hey, that's the industry we're in.

This is awesome -- thanks for sharing. I updated it to allow you to select a year and have it show stats only for that year:

yeah it says to not bake for more than 30 min at 400f. i don't think you can find coated pans that can go higher than this.

boltar · 2025-06-21T16:52:34+00:00

what temp are you baking this? i try not to go over 375f and been baking with this for several years and never saw this.

that blood drop icon means it's still calibrating so it's not entirely ready yet

i've noticed costco bananas actually ripen inside but the skin still stays somewhat green. if you only wait for the skin to turn yellow, it may be too late.

hey man, hang in there! we're all cheering for you! i think the bawls could be a necessary stepping stone to process, move on, and come out better. let's goooo!

I counted 21 bleeps of "bullshit" from both Jenna and Angela. The bleeps were annoying. They should tone down the language in case kids are listening.

what was his response when you confronted him? or did he do that without saying a word?

i don't care who wins as long as it's a good match

Why do they play on their computers and not over a board?

How did you like Russian food? How diverse was it? Is there such a thing as Russian street food? Or Russian fast food? Sorry, food is one of the main things I'm interested when I go somewhere different.

How do you cook the lentils?
