Returning to professional C++ development after like 15 years to learn that they still use plain text search for go-to-definition and find-all-references lmfao. The rust people like to emphasize temporal memory safety but maybe they should start flexing on the C++ people for this aspect more???

Has this made its way up to Seattle yet or is it mostly a SF thing?

"Anna" shares, "I'm a student. During strawberry season I work in the fields with my brothers to help my mom with the rent. It is very hard because we work piece rate for 2 months-going as fast as we can. There's little work for the next 4 months so we need to save." #WeFeedYou

Heard a big bang and then the power went out? That can’t be good.

One day I will find an American (old) restaurant. And presumably will eat unholy quantities of aspic or similar

At long last - beat the corrupted heart with the Watcher after minting an Expunger that did 400 damage per play (Master Reality for upgrade + Chemical X + miracles from Collect for energy + strength from Shuriken & Wish). Only on A0 because I am a scrub. But that’s finally all the characters for me on A0! I even kind of started enjoying playing with the Watcher. Hard character to love.

I like cameras on the ground because they give me different views and it often feels like you are right there with the birds. These are clips taken with the Ceyomur CY95 this weekend, just mostly Gracks being Gracks but also some other visitors. Come good into the week! #birds
