I believe CURL is built into Unreal as the HTTP library of choice for desktop platforms. Just to add to the mindboggling number of games that may rely on it.

Only finance and game dev was a little bit of hyperbole. I do see other jobs for like aerospace or GIS, at least looking at job postings on LinkedIn. Though I most assuredly do not have the requisite skills outside of just C++ to work in th

I feel like I am in a decently unique situation where I learned C++ throughout my preteens and teens, and got a job straight out of high school writing C++ for Unreal Engine applications. Most of the C++ jobs I see when I look are things th

Considering that this has nothing to do with actual repository readmes, and instead about the github feature where you can have a `README.md` file for your profile, I doubt this would have any weight in your decision at all :)

Vim isn't as obtuse as it's made out to be. You can learn Vim pretty easily, enough to match the usability of other editors, pretty quickly. Past that, you can learn the actual powerful commands, where it actually shines.

You can always list alternatives for Facebook, but the problem comes in actually replacing it. Facebook isn't popular for being a well designed website, if you think about it, Facebook is a very bloated and clunky experience. Facebook

I like the interface and overall design a lot. But for the player, there isn't a dedicated full screen button, nor is there volume control, two things that for music videos and music in general are pretty much needed.

This is a bot I made for a couple of servers that I am in that allows a user to associate their Last.fm account with their Discord account (works across servers) and then allows the user to pull data from their Last.fm. Currently this data

I'll add escaping attributes to the library according to the spec. Thank you for the heads up!

Interface for the CI looks very barebones, though from the looks of it they just threw it up for public consumption.

I'd have to disagree on the front of having an outrageous fee such as that on a storefront. Some people could make great games and those same people might not have the same opportunities to acquire funds to pay for that fee. Of course,

Funny that you mention "an ad in the app," They're running a Spectacles story right now in the app. Also, sometimes when watching other people's stories, I see Spectacles ads. Though, the Spectacles story might be tucked
