I did the same, and found out that it's a great way to paint yourself in a corner. In this corner you can learn very complex pieces by practicing learning them from the sheet music, but on the other hand every new piece is an unique sn

I'm left-handed and the basic Platinum Preppy and the blue ink that comes with it by default work great for me. My hand brushes over the text but the ink dries so fast it's not a problem. Some fancier pens with flexible nib that g

In my experience syncing with pCloud is at least as good as with Dropbox. Google Drive is still quite bad.

If putting the thread to sleep would be the problem, simple try_to_lock instead of blocking would be the solution. In practice, it looks like releasing the lock and potentially waking up threads that were blocking on it is another problem (

We must have seen different versions of New York. The one I remember had a few high rises at Manhattan, a lot of lower buildings at the central areas and suburbs of individual houses that extended tens of kilometers to every direction. The

There's a lot of money to be made in first trying to customize an off the shelf solution, then trying to replace it with low code one and finally implementing a custom one.

I know, I wasn't the one who brought up the "acoustic equivalent of a screensaver".

> The acoustic equivalent of a screensaver? It already exists, and is known as elevator music or muzak. I can certainly see the value in generating endless copyright-free background music, because so many human effort has been put into c

If you listen to any of Rick's videos, he will tell you that ear training and music theory are so closely related that there can't be one without other. Of course, back in the day in music school theory was taught without ear trai

Good point. I was thinking about the C++/Java meaning of the words because that way of doing things has proved to be useful but they're not the only way indeed.

The question is then, why should object oriented languages be taught? It seems to me that for last 25 years or so the true object orientation has been a historical curiosity that inspired polymorphism and encapsulation and only interest for

To prove two points: First that forcing objects everywhere makes things really complicated compared to FP, second that under the hood everything can be shoehorned to object model.

As far as I know, Unity uses C# as scripting language and does the heavy lifting in C++. And the usual way for making mobile builds for Unity games is converting everything to C++ with IL2CPP and then compiling that to native binary.

This is interesting. The page you linked mentions that objects can be created using operator new, but I was not aware that C has such thing. Further down polymorphic objects are introduced, and I am fairly sure C does not have those. My fav

The original claim was that C++ "objects" and C PODs and primitives are the same. It's a rather odd claim, and the questions whether C++ "objects" are true objects, there is even a definition of true object, or was

Well, you brought up the subject :) I think it's a bit intellectually dishonest to appeal to typical OOP definition when there isn't one (except that your language isn't true OOP but my language, I won't tell which one,
