If something has a rating system of 1-5 stars, you just give it 5 (unless there were issues).
But if the ratings go up to 10, you actually rate it for real. 9/10, 8/10, even 7/10 (even though you might not have picked 4/5 stars).
5 star ratings are, quite literally, overrated.

Not only do I put two spaces after periods (in English),
I also put two spaces after semicolons - in code:
if (int x = f(); x > 0)
...
Mostly for if statements, but also for for-loops. Why not. Particularly when they get a bit verbose.

TIL that like low level programmers talk about struct-ot-arrays vs arrays-of-structs,
databases talk about row-oriented vs column-oriented databases.
For basically the same reasons.
I mean, probably not a revelation, but I typically don't do db stuff.

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.
Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.
If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.

A reminder that the @cppnorth.bsky.social early bird pricing ends soon! cppnorth.ca/news-earlybi... The program is not announced yet. If you are confident that it will be great (it always has been) you can save $150 by registering now. Check the four keynotes that have been announced, too!
