Depressing

Pretty sure his editor(s) created most of his titles, but could be wrong.

I paid $90 US for Bart Vs The Space Mutants around that time. I think Street Fighter 2 CE for Genesis was $80 around 1993? Different times for sure.

They: sips coffee loudly

"Ahhhhh!"

Me: dead

People I understand. It's hard not to make noise. But ads. Why decided ads needed all sorts of slurping and chewing sounds?

Also, I realize it's marketed at children, but does Minecraft have to sound more like Peppa Pig with every update?

People taking with their mouths full in movies really annoys me. Firstly it's disgusting, and secondly the sound mixing is usually terrible anyway, so I can't hear a word they're saying either. I can see the scene is set at dinner from the food on the table. I don't need to see and hear the dinner as it sloshes about in the protagonist's mouth.

It seems like actors play up the "look I'm eating" aspect by open mouth chewing.

I was thinking of that the other day. I think I stayed on High Sierra as long as I could.

What's the best way to learn C? Any good modern book recommendations, or sites?

I second "Modern C" by Jen Gustedt.

- Get the `cdecl` tool to build intuition about function signatures. What does "int( * ( *foo)(void))[3]" mean?

- Write it yourself.

- Be disciplined. Develop good hygiene with compiler flags, memory/address checks, and even fuzzing.

- Read good source code such as the linux kernel. This is an amusing header file from the git source code that defines some banned functions. This is wisdom if you choose to follow it: https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/banned.h

- Push the language to its limits. Play with memory and data structures. Inspect everything. This book "Data-Oriented Design" by Richard Fabien is a great to explore as well. It's about organizing your data for efficient processing.

There's a second edition of the legendary K&R book¹ to get you started.

¹https://www.amazon.com/Programming-Language-2nd-Brian-Kernig...

See my previous comment, anyone learning C from K&R should not be writing C period.

That book is legendary only in the magnitude of financial damages it (directly and indirectly) enabled, caused by people who read it and thought that they could now write C.

I highly recommend Zed Shaw's "Learn C the Hard Way": https://learncodethehardway.org/c/

I worked through this and felt well-prepared to actually use C in anger when I had to.

Terrible overall and entirely wrong in multiple places. If you learn C from this book, you should't be writing C.

The last bit is also true for K&R The C Programming Language (avoid at all costs).

You're better off with:

- Modern C (whatever edition is current)

- Seacord's Effective C: Introduction to professional C programming

- C Programming: Modern Approach 2nd edition (bible)

Hulu stopped working properly on my Shield after using Pi-Hole, so I guess it was working?

On the pihole subreddit there's a wiki with lists of domains you can whitelist for certain services. I had to whitelist something for xbox live to work.

Yeah, even the paid (non-ad) hulu has trouble if you block its telemetry servers.

Highly relevant! Thanks for this.

How long can a junior dev last simply using AI day in, day out? Is it enough to ship high quality products? I assume at least most of them eventually learn the proper skills when they are no longer "junior" devs. It seems like the usual "fake it til you make it" style a lot of people do to get by.
