My apologies, that repo most definitely used to have what you are looking for. I tried out LSD dream emulator off of their awhile back and they also used to have N64 Roms. I should’ve checked.

This repo should have what you need if you are having trouble finding them.

I did well in data structures and algorithms in uni, but I have never had those topics come up in my 4 years of being a software developer. I’m in web development, FWIW.

So you don’t really have to know that stuff, depending on what kind of software engineering that you get into.

You make a good point. We all might be being copied and deleted in our sleep every night, for all we know.

There’d be no way to know anything even happened to you as long as your memory was copied over to the new address with the rest of you. It would be just a gap in time to us, like a dreamless sleep.

Get a null tattoo on your forehead if you are really about that life.

You don’t understand how development works, at all. The developers themselves don’t make these kind of decisions at these companies. They just do what they are told to do by their higher-ups. The higher-ups happen to be corporate businesspeople that don’t really know much about tech, and only care about profits.

The blame for Unity’s failures belongs to the executives and businesspeople, not the developers.

I can vouch for Clear Code, as well. That’s where I started and learned to build some 2d platforming games. If you want to get into 3d right away, there is a channel called BornCG that has a very good series on building simple 3d platformer games, too.

For sure. If I was going to do .NET again I would just fire up Windows and Visual Studio like most other sane people.

Just some leftover trauma from the Red Scare days, I guess.

I have a friend that does .NET development on Linux. So I guess that’s possible. I know he uses JetBrains Rider as an IDE instead of visual studio. I’m sure there are some other hoops he jumps through, as well, but I never really dove into it with him. I always used Visual Studio in Uni, myself. I also have a Windows partition for gaming and music production.

Time to start teaching Holy-C at uni.

There really isn’t for free, at least as far as I am aware. You are probably right that Emacs can come somewhat close with the right packages and setup, but VSCode extensions just makes everything so much quicker and easier. JetBrains is also similarly good, but it’s obviously not FOSS, and I guess it would be considered a full IDE not a text editor.

The performance with Edge is surprisingly good. The built in spyware, not so much.

I prefer Linux but I do think that the hate for Windows is blown out of proportion. Teams is a whole different story.

C++ is a superset of C, and C is a subset of C++. C++ was originally designed for the purpose of updating and adding OOP to C.

The main things C++ has that C doesn’t are user defined data types, support of reference variables, function overloading/overriding, built in exception handling with try/catch, inline functions, and C++ has around 30 more keywords overall.

I would say the biggest difference is the OOP focus of C++ where all of data and functions are encapsulated into an object. This helps make C++ more secure and better for writing high level implementations than C.

I personally think communism especially Marxism sounds really good on paper. The problem is that just about every time it has been attempted things didn’t really seem to work like they are supposed to.

Its like every state that attempts communism just ends up being a perpetual Vanguard state, and it ends up being authoritarian and terrible.

I really think there are several good ideas in Marx theories, but the actual implementation of those theories needs some work to figure out how they should be incorporated without being corrupted and overtaken by tyrants.

I think his point is that people who call things “woke communism”, in a negative way, have no idea what communism actually is. To those people, everything from the center to the left of politics is woke communism.

Yea, I see what you mean. I definitely prefer the way that linux handles drivers.

From my experience, not too many people have had driver issues with the newer versions of windows, but I could have just gotten lucky there. I find that most non tech savy people don’t care if they have the latest driver or if it contains spyware or any of that. Most of them don’t know what a driver is, so they just plug it in and if it works they don’t care how or why.

I try to educate when I can but some people really don’t care to learn. Thanks for your explanation, I totally understand your reasoning.

I don’t understand how you consider Windows drivers to be a mess compared to Linux? Do you mean for power users who like to manually configure their own drivers? Windows 10 and 11 are just plug and play with any device I can think of that an average user would use.

I don’t use Windows as my daily driver, but I have done a lot of IT work for people who do use Windows, so maybe I’m missing something.
