My first ever pull request got merged, that too in my most favourite open source organization (notice the Konqi in my pfp??). For a life long KDE software enjoyer, it's a big day

Thank you Mr. Carl Schwan for helping me out :)

Got another MR merged in a KDE repo, this time its in its CI utilities where we temporarily exclude the Pdf doc gen of certain languages which don't display correctly so that it can be fixed sometime later.

Thank you Johnny for helping me ease into the repo with this task :)

this is amazing. Personal pref: terminal man pages are an eyesore and are difficult to skim through.

you could also create an alias for this command however the pages aren't exactly pretty
alias webman="man --html=firefox"

I may have a cool idea rn

TIL about the diff b/w a throttle and debounce.

Both are used to reduce the number of times a fn is called by an event that fires repeatedly.

Throttle calls the fn at regular intervals

Debounce calls the fn at a particular instant (either the start/end of the event firing)

My cognitive function declines during winter months for some reason. I feel eepy more often

Managing to not oversleep and actually wake up from a power nap is certainly one of those feelings.

tour-of-cpp day 7:
modularity > function arguments and return values > argument passing, value return (pass by value & reference), return type deduction (auto), suffix vs prefix return type, structured binding

now i'll do some uni assignments before calling it a day lol

Happy to announce that I did not waste my Sunday on college acads. I spent it on doing what I like. Craziest and most eventful day of the year. I'll get into the details later, but I can promise that it was really crazy and unexpected :DD

tourofcpp shall be resumed from tomorrow

Am I the only one who dislikes watching video lectures?It feels really passive and not mentally stimulating. Can't help dozing off fr.

tour-of-cpp day 6:
modularity > namespaces

most of my time was spent in reading about CMake and compiling KDE's ebook reader.

This article really satisfied my itch. Cmake always felt like this scary alien thing, now everything FINALLY makes SENSE.
