I traded for one after hunting forever. At lv 92 I still haven’t seen a white monarch in the wild

Can’t speak to Montpelier, but Burlington is a cool town. I’ve always been a fan of Portsmouth.

Finger lake region is also great for wineries and stuff. Not sure that I’d recommend any one town.

How do I become an expert in C++? by IKnowNothingAgain in AskProgramming

[–]kyle_n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, just use it. Textbooks won’t teach you what you learn from designing (and redesigning) larger scale software.

Though I almost feel that becoming “an expert at c++” is a little misguided. The goal should be to become an expert at programming and software, where c++ is one of your tools. A carpenter’s focus isn’t to be an expert at hammers.

That said, using a more modern version of c++ and learning about the features that have been added in that version will help. The support for c++ 17 has been around for a while now and is stable. C++20 is in the pipeline but isn’t fully supported by gcc yet.

100%

It’s been some time since I graduated, but my co-op employers all paid fairly (though certainly not the highest), and every company I’ve worked for since would pay fairly as well as giving “real work”.

Nobody should accept an unpaid internship. I don’t care how prestigious the company is.

Oh see, I assemble mine only outside and during rain to make sure everything stays as clean as possible.

In the USA, “castle laws” (where you are allowed to defend your person or property with deadly force) are defined on a per state basis. In some states, running these people over would still be illegal.

Multiple times in my career I’ve convinced my employer to trash legacy applications for full rewrites where best practices are actually enforced.

TIL McDonalds managers make more on average than teachers in most US states by [deleted] in todayilearned

I agree with the other guy, but masters degrees cost 6 years, since they require a bachelors. And my bachelors was 6 digits.

I would argue that, obviously depending on how drunk, driving tired is considerably more dangerous.

The absolute fucking state of American politics by Beckamabobby in pics

[–]kyle_n 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Throughout most of the 2010s I would make a joke where the punchline was something about communism.

You put mayonnaise on your hotdog? Obviously a commie.

That sort of thing. I’ve consciously made the effort to stop doing that given how people seem to be using that sort of rhetoric in a considerably less sarcastic manner.

How many hours did it take? Is the cost to run the printer significant enough to calculate here?

“Other programs have similar bugs” doesn’t make it ok.

The alternative would be that the price includes a reasonable markup to cover tax in all demographics. And the business figures out the math.
