The trailing _t is reserved, and I didn't know that for many years. I learned of it only after an interview candidate pointed it out as a gotcha in my question prompt. They got bonus points, and I learned something. I wonder why compil

TLDR: Put data members in a struct. Write a function per "method" and pass in the `this` pointer. Simple and effective. BUT: inheritance. C++ has subclasses (`class Manager : Employee`) and virtuals / vtable lookup on pointer

How does Textualize make money? I played with Textual and Rich over the weekend. I found it super compelling to use TUI forms to generate json or other kinds of configs. I particularly like the faux CSS for styling and modeling UI updates a

You don't need to get tolerance to zero as you might with addiction-level situations, just back to levels where it's no longer completely adapted. I've been on adderall for 20 years and haven't ever had to increase my pr

This is already happening. NVidia's Maxine thing takes a still photo and animates it according to your video feed. The leap to a VR version feels rather incremental.
