  • Smart pointers model ownership. Instead of (maybe) a comment telling you if you have to free/delete a returned pointer this information is encoded into the type itself. But that’s not all, this special type even handles the whole deleting part once it goes away.

    Since they model ownership you should only use them when ownership should be expressed. Namely something that returns a pointer to a newly allocated thing should be a std::unique_ptr because the Callie has ownership of that memory. If they want to share it (multiple ownership of the object) there’s a cheap conversion to std::shared_ptr.

    How about a function that takes in an object cause it wants to look at it? Well that doesn’t have anything to do with ownership so make it a raw pointer, or better yet a reference to avoid nullability.

    What about when you’ve got a member function that wants to return a pointer to some memory the object owns? You guessed it baby raw pointer (or again reference if it’ll never be null).


  • Um what? I didn’t like hide extra meaning in what I said. High quality code doesn’t imply all that extra shit you added. It’s code that’s easy to read and modify. Typically this just means you name stuff well and document things that aren’t obvious. Usually my docs explain why something exists since thinking it’s unnecessary cause you don’t remember what the original problem was a common occurrence before I started doing so.

    Is high quality code ran through a formatter? I’d hope so yeah. There should be a consistent code style across the entire project. Doesn’t matter what it it long as it’s consistent.

    100% code coverage is meaningless and as such a pointless metric. Also 100% coverage is explicitly tied to the implimentaion as all code paths have to be reached which is obviously not a good idea (tests have to change when the implimentaion changes as you’re testing the implimentaion not the api).

    Really a lot of this is just meaningless buzz words as an attempt at some sort of gotcha. Really don’t understand how you even interpreted a statement so simple in this way.








  • What right investments? He was born into money and failed into getting anything from his X.com (banking!) website which was bought out by PayPal long after he was fired. The only reason he got anything out of that at all was he’d kept the stocks around.

    He “invested” in Tesla so that he could get a cool car (he royally fucked over the actual founders in the process).

    Low cost space? Low cost space? Do you live on Mars or some shit? Every one of those “Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly” events cost over one Billion. That ain’t cheap buddy.



  • Look I think even you should be able to understand that phones aren’t actually the problem here. Look around at the world around you. Where are kids supposed to go? You can’t walk anywhere. Are they supposed to just get chauffeured around by their parents until they can drive?

    Social media is bad for everyone, that’s not unique to kids. The only reasonable solution to this problem is to remove car dependency and unfuck our zoning laws. Give kids places to go and they’ll go there. They love that shit but they hate being a burden and since the modern world removed those opportunities what else do you expect them to do?
