The old C++ FAQ book was over 500 pages, and that was decades ago. Those were the "frequent" questions.

I drove deep into C, a much simpler language, and there's all kinds of wild stuff in there that most C devs don't know. Of course, it's not applicable to 99.9999% of C programming, so who practically cares, but to learn 100% of C++? I don't have that kind of time.

That said, it's totally possible to learn enough C++ that covers 99.9999% of its use cases.

Another approach to thinking about it is that draw() does two things. 1) it draws the line that's 1 shorter than itself, then 2) it draws itself.

The for loop happens after it draws the line that's 1 shorter than itself.

They most definitely do.

It does work better for me in general. The video is no longer slow... unless I start using a virtual background, then it gets really sluggish. (Firefox.)

I also run Arch and have this same problem. I dug in for a bit, but found nothing. :( Webcam works perfectly well in all other circumstances except Zoom.

I learn more about a candidate in 5 minutes of talking to them about their existing code than I would looking at their solution to a take home problem.

It's a crap interview technique, these assignments. IMHO.

At least someone got the gag. No sense of humor around here. :)

Annnnnddd... right click.

I agree with you, but there is a greater subtext here that social media has made it easier than ever to make money by driving a wedge harder than ever into that split. Same split, but this makes the old tactics look pretty quaint. IMHO.

Gmail's easiest to replace if you have your own domain. I moved mine a couple years ago with no issues at all.

There are still various ways to watch YT ad-free and tracking-free. (And you can pay the creators directly on Patreon or through another service, and watch the videos ad-free on Patron. I pay a little more on Patreon than I was paying for YT Premium, but not much more, and I'm happier the creators are getting bigger cut and Google is getting no cut.)

I use FF basically exclusively except for the rare time a site doesn't work with it. It was also an easy change. Google does degrade their stuff (whether or purpose or through ineptitude) but there are other options for the other main Google services, as well.

The only things I have left on there are photos, contacts, and calendars. Photos will probably be the next to go.

Using free software is the important part, IMO. Not using non-free software is a good wishlist item. But of course there are those who differ with me. :)

I don't think it's bad--it's impossible to make error-free material, and it's more error-free than not, for sure.

But other people are right: you'll "graduate" to MDN and not look at W3 Schools again.
