Her: I don't even know what the cloning machine does

Me: well that makes two of us

just spit balling this: perhaps we need to give countries an opportunity to improve their human rights record before allowing them to host a world cup tournament

@gpowerf the perks are very hit or miss though it’s just in game items like boosts, comestics or sometimes dlc. I believe it changes every month. Game Pass as a whole is worth it just for the free games

Since the holidays are coming up, I’d like to remind everyone who is thinking of getting a to please consider from a local shelter. Most of them are likely already at capacity and they usually receive an influx in strays and take-ins once the “cuteness” wears off and people realize just how much of a responsibility it is to take care of them.

The DPS queue for ranked in is entirely too long

An advantage of simple pumpkin designs is that they only get better as they age.

@gpowerf I have a love/hate relationship with this game but I can’t put it down. Plus I have like 20 double xp tokens from the gamepass perks so that’s even more incentive

@ambihelical Yea I saw it has its own language that’s a bit easier to grasp but you can use C++ as well. After doing some reading, I was thinking of just going with Rust instead but picking up both would make me more well rounded

@xand the extent of my programming knowledge is a little bit of JavaScript and Python. I’d still consider myself a beginner but efficient enough to at least look at code and slightly understand what it’s doing and why. Thank you for the recommendation though, I’ll be sure to check it out!

@xand What exactly is K&R? I really like your approach and that’s probably what would be my best bet to fully grasp the concepts. I’ve been seeing people lean more towards Rust over C++ too and from I’ve read, they accomplish the same things.

@Psyklone I did it by first reading K&R and doing the exercises and then wrote the tool I always wanted. An approach I'd wholeheartedly recommend. C++ I decided to skip in favor of Rust :)

What would be the best way to learn C/C++ from a self taught perspective? I’ve been fascinated with learning about microcontrollers and the things they can do.

Understanding #Mastodon gets easier once you get the basic idea that federation between servers can be understood as homeomorphisms across hyperplanes between the Riemannian manifolds of toots, whereas the servers represent countable finite sets of discrete entities.

I think the most dangerous thing about me as a person is that I almost always, no matter the task, give off the appearance and aura that I know exactly what I'm doing while, in reality, I universally have just absolutely no fucking idea what I am doing

Reruns of Seinfeld or watch Pulp Fiction for the 500th time? How about both

I wanted to get the hang of things before my so here it goes

Right now I’m currently a student while working full time, studying . In my downtime I love to read, preferably anything or related and I also enjoy horror, thriller and obscure movies. When it comes to I have an and mostly stick to single player but Overwatch and Destiny 2 keep me coming back.

I’ll keep things short, I’m looking forward to interacting with you all!

It's a bit like asking people "Would you rather buy a beautiful apple that is imported from the other end of the world and been treated with insecticides or an apple from a local organic farm that has a few blemishes?"

Most people would say they'd take the second one. But when they go to the supermarket and buy some apples, most of those people still take the beautiful insecticide apple.
