Don’t laugh, but I bought the companion book “Quantum Physics for Babies” for my grandson.
Need that heads up to get into Star Fleet Academy

For me that is something permanent. I can’t remember a day when I didn’t have constant music in my head.
Btw, today it is “Achy Breaky Heart”, of all things. I like Country but that is too much, even for me.

I once travelled as a passenger in a truck from Brisbane to Perth over a period of six days.
The driver knew every Country and Western station for the entire route. I don’t normally mind C&W but the only time he turned the radio up loud enough for me to also hear it was when “Achy Breaky Heart” came on, which in 1992 was often… For six long, tiresome days the only ‘entertainment’ I had was “Achy Breaky Heart” on repeat

@Harry_Bumcrack Oh gods, that’s terrible!
I’m fairly sure there’s something in the Geneva Convention about that too…

Back in the day, one of the guys created a series of satirical ‘Commando’ style comics based on our Platoon. The fictional hero of our story is PTE Buster Danboy (with supporting cast). I don’t have a full set, but a few episodes have been saved in my collection.
A lot of in jokes and I am happy to field questions. May I present to you - Buster Danboy Part #34 “The Pickets” (or ‘Piquets’ if you want to be a pedantic ■■■■)

Welcome to being at the mercy of your operating system’s memory management. Runs perfectly fine until it doesn’t.

Try developing in Rust next time. Compiler stops you from being stupid.
I was about to start into a discussion why I still have to use C++17 at work (because of JUCE and our inhouse DSP toolkit being C++17), then I remembered this isn’t the place.
You know that saying with nature designing a better idiot? They yet have to write a compiler that stops me from being stupid. But Rust is probably the closest anyone has got so far.

GCC is becoming pretty impressive as well IMO.
With each version it finds more obscure stuff that has been in the C code forever and nobody noticed.

That’s true. The difference is though, C++ doesn’t force you to adhere to RAII, while in Rust there’s no way around the borrow checker. Damn it people, stop going OT.
