Try gimp.org.

Yeah. They only read textbooks to quiet kids, they do not have unpaid overtime at home for grading tests, and earn a million dollars every month. Lazy bastards.

Is there a downside? I’m confused.

I don’t understand the downvotes. You’re right on all points. If the task is too big, it can take years from testing another solution to using it for real.

I’m bored too, but not bored enough to post shitty shit like this.

Do you do it yourself with a European recipe? You would get the same result I guess.

Back when Nginx started, Apache was the only alternative and a big pain in the ass. That’s how it became popular.

That’s boring. Altman wants to save the world whatever that means, not solve the shitty problems that poor people have.

This game was released 10 years after git, and we already had backups since the 80s. Why are they lying?

• Medium sucks
• Clickbait
• After reading a few pages, what is the point of this article? There are hundreds of pages of conversation, WTF?

Only Americans seem to say this. Why? I’ve seen a lot of couples at work and no one minds.

EVs: too expensive, I can’t afford one. Chargers: there are no chargers where I live.

That’s it. Fix those problems and people will buy.

Having a “library” is already a crime in some countries so…

1. Random useless text from AI, no questions, nothing technical
2. IMHO, this place is for people who learn, and we help in the comments, not “here is a burger recipe if you are hungry while learning to code”
3. The so called propositions are stupid. It’s a mix of dumb ideas with solutions that are way too complicated for a beginner. What is the point of mixing emojis as an encoding system (UTF-8 and shit, it’s hard) with encryption (totally unrelated and way harder)? Or using graph theory with HTTP and parsing HTML, what is the point, what are you learning? Way too advanced and distracting for me.

Downvoted.

Every personal project is good as long as you try to make it professional. It doesn’t need to be perfect but you can show that you made an effort to clean your stuff. I’m biased because I’ve been doing C++ for a long time, but every language is worth it. Also what I’m saying may be specific to my location and kind of job, but I tend to think it’s kind of universal. To get a job, you need to show that you have a broad view of the software ecosystem.

For example for C++, you can do:

• C++ code, maybe built with CMake or SLN because those are universal tools
• linter and formatting (clang format, cppcheck, SonarLint, etc.)
• good commits and branching strategy
• some comments in your code
• some documentation
• unit-tests
• maybe some scripts in Python for the CI
• use a package manager like Conan or VCPKG because any company will pick random libraries all over the internet, you can’t do everything from scratch

I think it applies to every language, just change C++ to any other language but the other bullet points don’t change. And if you have some code to review, post it here and we’ll read it like a real “merge request,” it can be interesting.

Do it in Python. It’s a PITA in C++ if you don’t know that language. Read A Tour of C++ instead.

Python for the web, C++ for everything else. C++ is still popular, especially the modern version and you’ll get a good salary. But you should learn HTTP with other tools like Python.

With both Python and C++ skills, you’ll get jobs everywhere. Python for tools and CI, C++ for applications.

Not what you’re looking for but: use Conan and a third party library. Your problem is not properly defined and my first reaction is “WHY do you want to store headers?” Why? You have a solution in search of a problem. Why? What do you really want to do? What are you trying to achieve? Go further in your investigations because “storing headers” is not your purpose in life, think bigger, higher level!

Not OP but my parents were “helicopter parents” and I was kind of brainwashed into thinking that school was the only purpose in life. You MUST get a degree, and that’s it. I had no education except “do your homework.” No real friends, no purpose in life, no thinking for myself. I was filthy, brushed my teeth once a day, took a shower once a week or once a month. No one ever noticed. It was worse than being a catholic extremist.

When I got a master’s degree, I didn’t knew what money was, health, having an opinion, paying taxes, taking a real shower, buying food, cooking food. I knew nothing and it took me years to even understand that it was a thing that you had to do every day. It was way before the internet but I’m happy it exists for young people. Physical abuse is difficult to detect, but psychological abuse is even more sneaky.

I even gave an example

You haven’t given an example. Where are your sources?
