I’m too old to be nostalgic for skeuomorphism. But a retina-burning amber monochrome monitor, text mode, with menus and UIs built out of ASCII graphics, or at best, 640 x 480 CPU-driven graphics modes? Now you’re talking.
From my perspective, the skeuomorphic era of the early-late 2000s is still “modern”.
I’m just a hobbyist but…are you guys using exceptions like they’re conditional statements?? I thought those were for only when shit is seriously wrong and execution can’t continue in the current state. Like if some resource was in a bad state or some input was malformed.
Or maybe I haven’t worked on anything complex enough, I dunno.
Panasonic Toughbook: you accidentally applied to a job on an oil rig.
Sometimes you’ll notice the side effects, like if you have a small OLED or LCD screen and start getting garbage characters in your strings.

As an addition to your post, I’m also in the process of learning C/C++, and I’m curious also how others arrange their actual project files and include directories. Like, for example, if there’s a bunch of classes having to do with UI elements, do you just group them each under their own file all in their own directory? I’ve also seen projects where everything was just thrown into the top level directory, both headers and implementation files together in a giant pile of source files.
Happens. Cars used to need special skills to even get started and drive around. Now a five year old can start one and drive off if they can reach the pedals. But they won’t have any clue how it actually works.
Conputer users should have technical knowledge to do stuff like that.
It’s not the 80s anymore. Normies are using computers now.

Maybe they can just tether two ships together and have them rotate around a common CoG like a bucket swinging around on a string. Wouldn’t be that expensive. The radiation I’m not sure, maybe they can create a “safe room” on the ship surrounded by their water reserves.
The tether thing is so simple I’m surprised it wasn’t in use decades ago. I think I remember them confirming it being a viable option on Gemini when they tested it being tethered to the test vehicle.
Eight months is brutal. Yet that isn’t even one leg of a round trip Mars mission, unless nuclear propulsion is used. Still a giant problem we have to figure out. We are not colonizing the solar system on chemical rockets alone.
Why not both?

Why call it a podcast? Digital audio interviews existed before the iPod. Just following your logic.
I guess my point it, why does it matter? We both know what it means. The language has accomplished its goal of communication.
Oh, looking for some lebensraum, are we?
Maybe I should keep it a hobby and not pursue a career. That kind of shit would mess with me. I tend to pour my heart and soul into my programming.
No better way to learn and get used to it than ripping off the bandage and being forced to deal with it. That’s what I did. Been Windows-free for ten years. If you still have a Windows partition around, it may be too tempting to just go back to it when things get a bit hairy.
As far as games, yeah, it sucks that I can’t play some games, but I’ve filled that time with more productive hobbies. I can program C and C++ now, self taught on Linux.
But the more people that jump ship, the more developers will target Linux, so it’s just a matter of time now before you can play anything again. It’s definitely a 1000x better environment now than when I switched back then.
