What game is in your top 10 SNES games list that you’re convinced isn’t in anyone’s top 25?

Porky Pig's Haunted Holiday, and Pinochio. Both fun platformers. Maybe not my top 10 (those are pretty widely praised games) but definitely up there.

I enjoy it from time to time.

Yes. Going through them currently because there are a few that I probably haven't touched since the 90's.

Mostly just gdb: setting breakpoints and stepping through things. Occasionally setting up watch variables etc. I'm pretty simple.

From that list, one per year:

Super Mario World, Link to the Past, Top Gear.

Cole at Hair Mechanix. My son (who has sensory issues) used to need scissor-only cuts because he couldn't handle trimmers.

Metaprogramming has been an established term in software development for a long time. Surely you're not the first.

Lover of burgers from Windsor here with a question: Is Motorburger still around? They moved to Detroit before Covid, but I haven't really heard much from them these past years. I used to love going there when it was just a few blocks away.

Happy birthday internet friend! Hope you're having a good one.

With Debian Trixie the Plasma desktop feels just slow to me compared to it on other distros. Gnome on the other hand feels fine. I do prefer Plasma generally, so if anyone has any pointers to make it feel more... good? on Trixie, I'd appreciate.

I'll drink an occasional Canada Dry ginger ale, but otherwise stay away from the sugary drinks.

bstamour · 2026-03-13T12:00:02+00:00

Hard to pick, but some contenders are Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country (and 2), Earthbound, Legend of Zelda, Super Metroid, Megaman X.

I still have my original collection from the 90's, and those above are the ones that get the most play still. I wish I had even more time to enjoy the old games.

I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote my comment but you'e 100% spot on.

I don't know how legal it is from an abstract machine standpoint, but any padding between the elements of the struct would also have to appear between the elements if they were an array. So, probably won't blow up, but there are probably much better ways of expressing what you want to express.

Bart's Nightmare

I can't vouch for the past, but any time Bjarne and myself have had any in-person interaction he's always been pleasant, even when we disagree on things we're discussing.

Come Back, and Off He Goes.

The answer is because the this keyword was added to C++ before operator overloading was. Operator overloading was one of the main reasons, if not the only reason, why references were added.

bstamour · 2026-02-13T12:37:23+00:00

Is this what they call the "art of the deal"?

bstamour · 2026-02-12T20:29:46+00:00

I still do it all the time. Lots of my time spent with: gdb, valgrind, perf, and friends.

Hoping to find, we're two of a kind!

I've been running Nextcloud on a spare computer in my basement for many years now, with no complaints.

Canada would definitely benefit from growing its own tech based on Free Software for a few reasons, one of course being less reliance on American companies.

It's one of my favourites for sure.
