  • Well, they can't, because they're already in the public domain and nobody is around who can claim them as an original creation

    It worked for "happy birthday", for awhile.

  • Crap. I wish people wouldn't put my password on their monitors after I ask them to stop.

  • I find Makefile isn't too bad, as long as I can stay away from automake and autoreconf.

  • Yeah. The best way to write any bash script is:

    apt/yum install PowerShell; pwsh script.ps1

  • What is something good you did or regularly do when nobody is watching?

  • Maybe doesn't count for this thread, but I love donating supplies to local school rooms, because I sometimes get hand-drawn thank-you cards.

    I've put those hand-drawn thank-yous in a drawer to be specially part of my kid's inheritance - as a reminder for them of what really matters in life.

  • I took an early job or two where I was paid shit, but learning a ton. I told myself I would make up for it later by building up marketable skills.

    Today, I'm paid quite nicely because I built up lots of marketable skills. 10/10. I would do it that way again.

    That said, obviously I didn't stay at those (shitty paying) jobs long term.

  • how do I tell my boss that I am not studying for a certification he wants me to get in my own time?

    Jump

  • "My other commitments don't leave time for studying enough to pass this certification test."

    When they ask what the other commitments are:

    "It's personal, and I'm not comfortable talking about it."

  • There's a timeline where I'm not automatically alarmed by something just because Elon supports it.

    This isn't that timeline. Where's the grift?

  • $5000.00 refund to every household? Or line their own pockets with it through graft.

    Hmmm. I wonder which to expect...

    Edit: if I do have to eat my words, $5000.00 will buy me a lot of ketchup...

    My best friend might be a Nazi sympathizer.

    Jump

  • But I wonder if I'm part of the problem by being associated with him.

    Elon's playbook is to divide us. Elon would prefer your friend be cut off from his long term support (you), when Elon asks him to cross a line that he otherwise wouldn't.

  • i could potentially build a website and use github to host it, is that good??

    Yes. It is good.

    As a manager who hires programmers, candidates who share a website with some code they have written and their thoughts about it probably get a more relaxed interview with me.

  • "The only job you won't have to do is QA, because we haven't heard of it yet. Is that a new thing? We're going to wait and see if it catches on."

  • What is the difference between an API, a Library, a Package, and a Framework?

    Jump

  • Why is OpenGL considered an API?

    An API is a promise - make these calls, get these kinds of results. An API often has more than one library that implements it. At minimum, there may be completely different code for different operating systems. At best, there may be completely separate vendors that implement identical APIs (Kubertnetes, and the Open Container Initiative, for examples).

    Why is it necessary to use other libraries like GLAD, freeGLUT or GLFW to interface with OpenGL?

    I don't know.

    where you install these packages that get used like libraries? What's the difference?

    Almost all packages are composed of libraries. Plenty of libraries lack packages. Packaging and delivering software is an entire field of study. As an expert at packaging and delivering software, I sometimes forget that a library I love still lacks a decent package. So I do my best to contribute a package, when I see a need.
