Valgrind is pretty crazy to find bugs and memory leaks !

This is cool in theory but this is yet another competing standard of static analysis.

We got clang-tidy, CPPAnalyser, etc… etc…

At some point you also got to take the time to really dive into the subject you’re talking about though :(

Looking for a system/application language that is better than C/C++ in c/programming@programming.dev
[–] hector@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

C++ is very cool for that. If only there weren’t 20 operators overload for everything it wouldn’t be as hard to work with it!

I still love it from times to times (in reasonable dose)

I see your point though. It feels like people giving advice on Rust used it 3minutes. It really depends on how trait are structured and often times they are horribly difficult.

It’s because of the borrow checker complaining. It’s especially hard with Async stuff.

Rust is good, it’s not perfect for everyone. I wouldn’t recommend for gamedev. You might like C# with native modules in Godot, you can extend it pretty much how you want.

Less C++ stuff, more fun!

But yeah that’s a problem, if you want a system programming language it’s hard to get away from C/C++ lol.

I just need to train more with the build system lol

It’s so much better than CMake though, but I’m still not feeling it

Cheats are so interesting to make lol. I won’t lie, DLL hooking is passionating. I never used them in real matches though, I don’t see the point in that.

But programming-wise, cheats work in a interesting environment => kernel drivers

So there’s a lot of thing to experiment with to confuse Vanguard for instance

That’s amazing advice thanks :) you’re so knowledgeable about this ecosystem

I need a new phone but I want to do this right (sh.itjust.works)
 

(Please when answering, assume I’m not a beginner at privacy/programming :) I know where the good stuff at)

First off, shameful confession: I’m writing this on a dying yellow iPhone XR I bought second-hand three years ago (189€). I absolutely love the look of it: the screen, build quality, are all amazing. The only problem was the locked ecosystem (sideloading Spotify/Torrent client was sooo hard).

I saw the android phone of my mother dying really fast. She currently has a Xiaomi phone that’s ridiculously big for my hands, there’s advertisements in the stocks apps (?!!), the UX is janky and everything. It looks like a bloat, privacy nightmare.

So… because it’s impossible to find a jailbreakable phone nowadays I need to buy an android and ideally I would want:

  • Good screen (vivid colors)
  • Good build quality (not shitty plastic)
  • Don’t care about the camera (I don’t want those ridiculously big cameras they make nowadays)
  • Would want to install either GrapheneOS/LineageOS

The things that scare me off:

  • I really need my bank app and I need it updated so I have to use Google Play Services but I don’t want it to plague my phone with privacy bullshit (I want to be degoogled)

The things that excite me:

  • Customization possibilities
  • Learning experience
  • Even more privacy than a de-googled IOS phone :)
  • F-Droid!! (Maybe I’ll find a beautiful IRC client)
  • More choices for Mastodon & Lemmy clients
  • Freedom of free software.
  • client for open-source git providers :)

But to get all of that, I don’t want Google, I need shitty apps (non-free software) I have to install:

  • Instagram (for non-technical friends)
  • GitHub (job & open-source)
  • No-Ad Modded Spotify from Balatan
  • Discord (gamer friends)
  • Telegram (cryptobros friends)
  • Steam (because I still love gaming)

Any advices? Phone ideas? I’m so lost in this ocean of choice (freedom ✨)

That’s another good idea ! I want to create an environment that incentivizes player creativity soo this could be fun :)

Is Asmongold an alt-right "entrypoint" influencer? (sh.itjust.works)
 

When I watch certain of his Youtube clips, etc... some things bug me off. What do you think of it?

Is there a book/saga that you finished and cannot forget to the point where it gets harder to read other books? (sh.itjust.works)
 

For me, the first time this happened was with The Royal Assassin Saga from Robin Hobb, and then Metro 2033.

This year, it’s The Witcher saga… (I can’t move on) I love all those introspective books with thoughtful heroes trying to make sense of the world they are forced to evolve into.

Do you have any other book like that?

Help me address some problems with C++ (beginner questions) (github.com)
 

I've been trying to learn a system language because it would enable me to access a whole new world of possibility for games, tools, and potential projects. My main problem when learning the language are:

  • can I write modern C++ code using the newer standards and still compile with libraries from older standards?
  • how do I even organize a C++ project? Look at the linked project, the CMakeList.txt is so hard to understand, the syntax looks so hard to write.
  • how do I install dependencies? You're going to laugh at me, but I always used languages with package managers and I looked again at the linked project, and they write a whole CMakeList.txt to import ImGui (GUI library I wanna try) but if you compare the structure of the files, it's different from the ones on the repository of ImGui.

As you see there are a lot of problems and it pains me to not be able to solve them because Rust is so unfun to use and work with! Do you think I should try C++, carry one with it?

Thanks, hector.
