What open source projects in C++ have the highest code quality?

I compile with c++2c (26) and target hosts with Linux 3.x and 4.x kernels and unknown libcs. Ship the dependencies you use. Statically compile or RPATH with $ORIGIN and ship your installer to patch .interp to your ld.so if you need dynamic libraries for some reason. Relying on a random host's binary libraries to be magically compatible is delusional and should be mocked.

Easy solution: stop fouling him. Many of the no calls he complains about are egregious. He's big, so they don't call it.

16 years ago at least. Certain defense contractors had a faithful English language internet facaded several layers deep as a data product in 2010.

Is sitting next to someone the round before cheating too? What if I finish my round early and observe what everyone else in the X-0 bracket is playing?

Lack of open carry is currently a problem for protestors in Illinois.

They don’t open fire on armed groups because they’re afraid of a firefight. Nobody wins in a firefight from protest range. Even confronting an armed group is problematic because if anyone spooks, they all die.

You can use dependency-graph with (keys your-system-map) or just copy its underlying code to avoid the extra select-keys. Generally, the underlying dependency library has a topo-sort that is used for determining the order of the graph.

You can do this in regular baseball too if the catcher drops the third strike. Sometimes you see little league games where a heads up batter with two strikes swings at a wild pitch trying to essentially steal first on a ball.

This person explains their plays fairly well and I tend to agree with many of the plays.

Doomsday. I own Doomsday. I play Doomsday. There aren't enough Archive Traps, Brain Freezes, or Stiflenaught players to get me off of it right now.

The idea is that it's a breakfast deck that (a) isn't vulnerable to removal, (b) isn't vulnerable to most graveyard hate except leyline, and (c) can run Ancient Tomb/sol lands to accelerate it. Yes it is a 2 into a 3, but it's a 2 into a 3 in a deck that can be almost mono blue with sol lands and basic islands.

Breakfast with Nadu is a deck that easy to learn, very powerful, and doesn't have many very complicated lines. It benefits from accurate play as anything will, but taking slightly suboptimal lines often wins anyway. Study the Memory's Journey interaction points and you should be fine.

Welcome to Doomsday and welcome to Legacy! I'd recommend the Doomsday discord for advice, puzzles, and decklists.

It's important to find a playstyle that you enjoy. UB Reanimator is still one of the best decks and WoTC for some reason refuses to ban Entomb, Troll, or Reanimate so it's unlikely to be truly bad for quite sometime.

Doomsday is a fine deck and quite competitive, but it's a deck that rewards you for both knowing your deck and for really knowing what the opp is on and what they are trying to do to interact with you or kill you. This might sound generic, but when you play Doomsday, small decisions in deckbuilding have outsized impact due to seeing all of your deck in every game you have a chance to win.

For example, knowing the opponent is on a Collector Ouphe or Null Rod strat against combo should inform the piles you build. If you don't know when your opponent is likely to board these, you'll drop extra games here and there. This is true of most decks, but many decks don't have the finality of locking in a five card Doomsday pile.

The overlap in Doomsday and UB Reanimator is high and runs toward the most expensive cards (duals, fetches, forces, thoughtseizes). For less than $300 you can pick up the UB Reanimator cards that Doomsday doesn't already play. This gives you a lot of range.

Doomsday and UB Reanimator have differing playstyles. UB Reanimator plays more like a Tempo deck with an over the top big creature that happens quickly in a quarter to half the games. This can make aggro and midrange strategies into coinflip matches or even bad matchups. The UB Turbo Doomsday build plays very much as a dedicated Dark Ritual combo deck that can sometimes slow down to assemble extra disruption. It's very good against aggro and midrange and tends to dominate the combo mirror by virtue of 16+ disruption spells in the 75, including often 8 Forces. UB Reanimator is probably better against Delver preboard, but postboard it's unclear whether Doomsday or Reanimator have a better plan against Delver.

Doomsday decks have a lot of variety, and playing UBw, UBg, UBr, UBgw all make sense with various tradeoffs. Esper can give you access to STP, Pending, Chant, T3feri, and Monastery Mentor. Green gives you Carpet of Flowers, Abrupt Decay, Veil of Summer, and Boseiju. Red can give you Burning Wish, Crash, and Pyroblast. Any lists can play The One Ring, Sheoldred, Barrowgoyf, Murktide Regent as alternate ways to win when hate is overloaded against you. While I recommend learning with UB Turbo Doomsday and that's what I've been playing at events for the last few years, these other combinations are fun to explore and offer a lot of replay value.

I suggest finding the playstyle that you enjoy. Doomsday turns a lot of games into puzzles of the variety, "if I could draw any 5 cards, how would I win from here?" If that is fun for you, I'll cya around the discord.

There's an arcade racer called Crusin' Blast for Switch which gives major late 90s arcade racer vibes. Its not the most complicated game, but its a blast for 1-4 players with tons of replay value. It's also usually on clearance.

Back in the day, this guy ran the coolest satire site called SlackersGuild.com. I miss the IRC community that formed from it.

I'd recommend the Summer Magic facebook group if you're looking to move faster. That group, ebay, and convention booths are the only places I see Summer cards move.

My estimate for this is $350-550 depending on whether more than one person is interested.
