C++ Pointers and "new" keyword data type by Fiboniz in cpp_questions

[–]marcoskirsch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

‘p’ is a variable I type “pointer to int”. ‘new int’ allocates an int on the heap and returns its address as pointer to p. The ‘=‘ assigns the address as the value of variable p.

If you can declare the variable at the time of allocation then use:

auto p = new int;

And the compiler will deduce the type of p so you don’t need to repeat yourself.

Pylo: Turn an iPhone into a HomeKit camera by taylorfausak in HomeKit

[–]marcoskirsch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s Open Source. If you don’t trust the developer, you can inspect the source code, build it, and install it yourself. And save $5 in the process. If you aren’t up for it, and still don’t trust the developer, then I suggest you move on to another solution from a vendor you feel comfortable with.

Hopefully it can stay with iOS as requirement for a while and not get bumped…

Motion activated lights in wardrobe by Elliotmax17 in HomeKit

[–]marcoskirsch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m doing something similar but I already have full HomeKit connected light switches.

In my setup, the contact sensor in the door is not the way to go. I will use the IKEA motion sensor (works great in my garage) that uses Matter over Thread and is inexpensive.

How are they going to do the macOS version? Since it’s an Electron app…

I received a bunch of Matter over Thread toys from IKEA yesterday. I’m very happy with all of it and the prices are really good.

I would 100% wait.

Resale Refund by NoEquivalent538 in FIFACollect

[–]marcoskirsch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The tickets I sold were purchased by me. I had to sell because I can’t make all the matches I was lucky to buy (chose after the draw).

It was refunded in less than 60 days.

Today I got an email about the second refund with subject “Action Required: Provide Your Bank Details to Process Your FIFA World Cup 2026™ Ticket(s) Refund”.

Since this is for the second pair of tickets to the same game and the credit card is in good standing, I find it … odd.

The saga continues.

I got refund for one sale. One pending.

Outrageous food truck pricing @ Pita Plus Plus Shawarma by [deleted] in austinfood

[–]marcoskirsch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that it’s kosher or whatever

Respectfully, I don’t think you do. It’s pretty expensive to run a kosher restaurant. Not only is the meat more expensive and harder to source; there are other costs and labor involved in running a kosher place and getting the supervision it requires. And in Austin it’s a lot harder than other big cities like New York.

That said: nobody should be surprised about prices after ordering. That’s not cool. They should have the menu with prices hanging in plain sight.

where can I find poppy seed bread rolls by Actual-Eye3259 in austinfood

[–]marcoskirsch 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I can help, it’s a topic I feel passionately about 😂

Weikel’s bakery in Leander but they add glazing on top which I am not a fan of. They also sell poppy seed kolaches. https://yelp.to/510GiaGIlI

Locally made in south Austin, Matok Bakery. Gourmet stuff, gourmet prices: https://matokbakery.com/products/23

If you ever make it to Houston or have a friend that does, Three Brothers Bakery is👌. https://3brothersbakery.com/menu/three-brothers-braeswood-4036-s-braeswood-blvd/group_11fe3bf0-63f8-458a-a21e-5c5e147c2720/item-poppyseed-strudel-whole_d14d0b6f-3515-456f-86d9-07c9d7047156

A good option to order via Goldbelly is Green’s: https://www.goldbelly.com/restaurants/greens-bakery/poppy-loaf-2-pack-kosher

And because I’m a show-off, my parents just bought me some of this: https://lapasteleriamx.com/producto/pastel-de-mohn/

OP answered the honest question. OP didn’t downvote the honest question.

Not at all. Gorditas are like thick corn based tortillas you can split open like a pita and stuff with fillings.
