I used to live and breath C++ early 2000s, but haven't touched it since. I can't make sense of modern C++.

I'm pretty sure you mean @@ on a variable and are not common in a Ruby project. @@ is a class variable and I can see that causing all sorts of problems with data across sessions.

My niche questions are never answered correctly by AI. I'm led down false rabbit holes. Stack overflow still provides much better answers for me overall.

People wear appropriate clothing for the weather. Those temperatures are no reason to stop biking. People do not "literally" freeze when it's below 0.

I really enjoy biking in Quebec city. I don't have as much experience with Montreal, but I can see how QC is a top spot.

The rovers are controlled remotely, so imagine playing a video game where your inputs lag by upwards of 40 minutes and you can't crash.

Ruby dev since 2000 and looks like refinements have been available since 2.4. I just used them for the first time this year. Definitely not a go to feature for me, but it was nice the feature was available.

10ft below ground is enough to take advantage of geothermal heat. You don't have to go "very far" to reach warmer soil in winter because the soil PLUS the snow on top is pretty much just insulating the deeper ground from the

I do all my dev in Firefox and rarely test in Chrome. I've been made aware of maybe a handful of issues over many many years doing it this way. If it works in Firefox, 99.9% of the time, it's also working in Chrome.

They're literally translating from French to English because they don't know any better. In French you open and close lights and all other electronics... that's just how it works. On and off isn't a thing. So it'

An aeropress is really an amazing piece of coffee making gear. I used to use one when I was on a budget and found it to be the best method of making coffee for little investment. There are a few tips and tricks worth looking up, but once yo
