I run through nearly every part of a system in my head before I even think about touching a keyboard. I think about it at the highest levels, then hone in on areas I know will be difficult or enforce some particular constraint on the system. When I think I have a good understanding of what I'm about to build, the technology I need to use, and constraints - then I sit at a PC and start to...study all that shit in detail. I make sure I know the algorithms and techniques I'm looking to use are appropriate.
After that, it's just a matter of sitting down and pushing the design out of my brain and into the PC. I usually code alone these days so 9/10 times I will pound it straight into code with perhaps a set of notes typed up for reminders of what I just worked out.
I'm not very interested in politics and accounting...can someone please set up a fund to give me opportunities to find out just how un-interested in them both I am? Please be sure to prevent people who actually have an interest in these subjects from applying.
That's doing it the smart way. I did used to frequent the alternative record store and the second hand one, till they closed down. Getting CDs second hand is fine as long as they rip perfectly. I rip it once, then store.
Mold / bacteria / fungus is an ever present danger here. Warm days and high humidity combined with a large range of pathogens makes for a petri dish life.
The factory pressed CDs seem to last better than the home burnt ones in my experience. I've had decent quality home media become unreadable after only a few years (gold CDs lasted better than the blue ones / green ones). By contrast, my audio CD collection, some of which is almost 30 years old now - all read perfectly when I ripped them. Some were covered with spots of bacteria, fungus or whatever - it's hard to stop that in the sub-tropics, but after a quick cleanse with a good optical rag they all ripped. True, I did have to use an error correcting ripper and chose one that could confirm the CRCs using an online database...but fact is, every sector read in the end. Not bad for 30 years old media.

And since it's available quite easily from seeds, grains and nuts it's not particularly hard to get in a decent diet. A bowl of decent muesli for breakfast and the occasional snack on seeds or nuts would cover you for this nutrient.
I suspect I'll be in the minority here, but I buy a kilo of nuts every fortnight or so, different types each time, and eat a small number of them most days. It's an easy and delicious way to get access to a whole bunch of nature's best stuff. I like seeds too, when I can get them without having to pay some stupid health food shop tax (i.e. triple the real cost vs stores that just sell it as regular food).
Adding plenty of spices to your foods is another great way to get nutrients, since those things are insanely highly packed in nutrients.
So yeh, Americans are likely boned...

I wonder how many people saying this sort of thing are cooking with electric stove tops and / or cheap steel pans instead of gas and cast iron? The only time I've ever seen olive oil smoke is when I've turned the gas up full blast and left it like that while cooking...which I almost never do.
I usually use either olive oil, lard or butter for my cooking and butter is the only one I need to be even remotely careful about temperature wise. I'm looking to brown it, without allowing it to burn. Butter is great for cooking eggs and other delicate food because of it's great taste, and the way the eggs won't stick to the pan when cooked in butter. Saves on buttering the toast too!
I know a guy with a doctorate in philosophy and guess what - there's no problem getting jobs with that degree. He's in Japan right now teaching high school students how to speak English...the only requirement is you have a degree of some form. So yeh, those philosophy degrees aren't so useless now...if you just want to teach English to high school kids. They're not worth a squirt of piss for anything else though, except maybe mopping up squirts of piss.
init() should only ever be a thing where you need to perform some kind of init after construction. There's good cases for this in complex software e.g. where you need to run code after everything has been allocated / inited but not prior to some other thing.
CRYENGINE is full of classes that need an init call to complete, and even PostInit ().
Multiple inheritance is a two edged sword. Used badly you will definitely cut yourself and others around you. Used right, it can be just the right tool.
There's *very few* times I'd consider using multiple inheritance instead of interface inheritance + 1 concrete inheritance. The only time in recent memory was for BOIDS. The existing code had chickens, turtles, eagles, fish and a few others. Turns out turtles inherited from chickens...yeh...anyway, the idea was that we'd go with standard classifications instead - terrestrial, aquatic and amphibian.
Obviously the chicken-turtles needed some rework to become amphibians instead.
Terrestrials should 'walk', avians should 'fly', 'aquatics should 'swim' and amphibians should 'walk+swim'...and really birds need to both walk and fly.
I left it up to a junior to sort it out, so hopefully it doesn't totally suck.
That is literally one of the only times I've ever though maybe multiple inheritance is a great idea. Yeh, I've wanted to use it to be lazy, but given all other factors....it's best left infrequently used.
Add me to the list of kids who did this with the same result (OSI C1P - 6502 based CPU). I wrote quite a few games for myself back then...wish I still had the cassettes they were saved to. I wrote
* a "snake" game with two player mode * a couple with two players using half the keyboard each to chase each other around * one to drop torpedoes from a ship onto a sub controlled by the other player * a 3D maze from first person perspective using only ASCII graphics * space invader clone (assembler and never finished) * car driving with winding track (assembler to push screen updates fast enough) * text adventure games with verb noun commands * and a bunch that I can't recall any more

Sarcasm isn't actually an emotion, it's an inflection of speech.
I'll be in my bunk.
Ye be wanting to use a cat9 cable for that me laddie.
This joke would be funnier if it was about a "Jews Cleanse" instead!

Stop going to church and you'll run into a lot less of these whackjobs.
You had me at "don't read"!
Not very many people have ever dropped their DAW down the toilet.
I'll go have a peek at it now, see what's up.
But so does c++, that wasn't the actual problem.
Thank you, watching these links now.
