Giovanni's blog just dropped the hottest take 😎: "Why not use string views instead of const& wstrings?" Because he's apparently in the business of crafting "nasty bugs" and defying rationality with #Win32 C code 🐛🤦‍♂️.

Why Don’t You Use String Views (as std::wstring_view) Instead of Passing std::wstring by const&?

Thank you for the suggestion. But *in that context* that would cause nasty bugs in my code, and in code that relies on it.

🎶 Behold: a "musical masterpiece" in C code that’s supposed to make sound waves but just makes us question why. 🎶 Apparently, stuffing a tweet-sized snippet of unintelligible gibberish into your terminal equals music creation. 🎵 Because who needs instruments when you have a keyboard and a misplaced sense of innovation? 🎹🤦‍♂️

Ah yes, nothing says "cutting-edge tech" like freethreaded Python wheels for #psutil. 🤓 Let's gather the entire Python community to celebrate this riveting achievement of compiling some C code and throwing it into a wheel like it's 1998. 🎉 Bravo, dear developers—yet another feature that will change everything (or nothing).

Playing around with a kit I have purchased a longer time ago (the structure with wheels and motors). Wrote some C code for controlling left and right side separately and a Python script to send driving/steering commands via serial to the #Arduino. I will be putting a #RaspberryPi 4 on top and try to control the vehicle using a #PS4Controller. Still waiting for a 9V battery connector to arrive by mail to power the motors properly.

This feature in the Xcode 14.3 beta noted by @StewartLynch to get console output from print statements for SwiftUI Previews has already helped me solve an issue this morning with generating test data for my SwiftUI previews that need a Core Data stack. Such a great addition. Thanks #Ccode team!
