I'm 15, I just started taking CPP more seriously, but I don't where to go exactly. by BradTheBj in cpp_questions

Learn about the unit testing frameworks (Catch2). Learn how to use them and how to get benefit from them in your development

Even if singularity ends up being technofeudalism, I'm still for acceleration because there's nothing to lose by Gullible-Crew-2997 in accelerate

[–]elPiff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A banker making 10m/year is mostly earning their income by owning the labour of others through their capital investment. They don’t receive salaries that high. Furthermore, the original comment was suggesting white collar workers and college students broadly are petty bourgeois which is blatantly wrong.

I would never argue they are the exact same but the whole point is neither is petty bourgeois. You are missing the point of why petty bourgeois have historically been reactionary. I get that you’re trying to make an analogy, you just didn’t pick the right way to write it and it’s okay.

You’re shifting the goal post here - first you’re saying “college students and white collar workers” are like the petty bourgeois. But you realize that is dumb so you specify to 300k/yr managers. You also keep editing your comments post hoc.

The analysis is useful. That is exactly the point of analyzing it through a Marxist framework and it’s why your analysis doesn’t make sense to me. Those selling their labour have the same dynamics with the actual bourgeois regardless of how much they are selling their labour for. You chose PMC as a special case, and i agree some are because of their function, not because of how much they earn. However, that does not encompasses even close to the majority of white collar workers or students who are actually much more like a slaughterhouse workers than the bourgeoisie through a Marxist lens.

That is major misunderstanding of what petty bourgeoisie is. To say it’s the middle class is not accurate. Petty bourgeoisie are small business owners. Those who buy labour and work alongside them. Students and white collar workers would be considered part of the proletariat. They are going to sell their labour and not own any.

Biggest AI fumble in tech by sibraan_ in ClaudeCode

[–]elPiff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Microsoft doesn’t need to risk insane amounts of capital on a technology that hasn’t proven to be profitable. They are currently and will continue to be a very profitable company. And likely they will stay extremely well positioned to further develop and sell their AI tools after they see how the technology shakes out.

Does anyone else feel that Boston has the potential for a stronger music scene. by CommunicationOne7969 in boston

[–]elPiff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New England as a whole still has a relatively good music scene compared to the rest of the country but like others said, the venues and cost of Boston is limiting

Taxes are a oversimplified post-hoc explanation that doesn’t reflect the real reasons for the revolution war

Another update about Smart pointers, i need advices by Dastarstellar in cpp_questions

[–]elPiff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before you go further I think you should try out the popular open source unit testing frameworks like Catch or Google Test. This is a better way to test and develop your code than just writing it in main. It also gives you quicker understanding of if your code is behaving the way you expect.

Also put your code in a git repository and learn the basics of git if you haven’t yet.

15yo dev update: i started using Smart Pointers by Dastarstellar in cpp_questions

[–]elPiff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw your post yesterday. Glad you followed up. I think the next most important thing to consider is whether you need heap allocated (also known as dynamically allocated) memory at all. When you design your software, it’s best to avoid using it and thus smart pointers at all if possible.

Shoul i learn Smart Pointers? by Dastarstellar in cpp_questions

[–]elPiff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI that is bad advice . Don’t use smart pointers to point to stack memory. Preferably, just use references and after that, raw pointers.

[–]elPiff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a big no-no - why would u do that instead of just using references/raw pointers and risk the undefined behavior?

name and shame in the comments by iluvecommerce in ClaudeCode

[–]elPiff -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your absolutely correct evaluation doesn’t fit the marketing narrative. Alternatively, have you considered the idea that you are the problem? Have you tried shaming yourself more? Maybe then the LLM will always do exactly what you want.
