I agree, unless you doing low level stuff where you need absolute control you should use a modern language with proper abstraction just to save time. Most use cases where they use C++ can be replaced with Rust or Go as they aren't saddled with years tech debt and bloat due to having mantaining backwards compatibility.

All the others have great suggestions but I'd just like to add there many open source projects out there and given example code of how something is done and letting him play with it can be tremendously helpful. For example finding some simple 3d programs and lettting him change the source code to do whatever he wants or just giving him a template like https://editor.p5js.org/1alimaze/sketches/IJpxIEME8 which I made when I was first learning and letting him play with the values and add more objects.

Just use C. It solves all those problens given the most complicated feature is pointers and those hard aren't to understand.

It about a comic called "loss" where which has the same character positions as the rectangles.

Fuck, now you made me have a loss as well. I am like -900 points in The Game.

Thank you all for offering advice. I did eventually get it working and repaired all the packages.

Nevermind I ran a script that looped through all packages in the output of pacman -Qk and reinstalled them.

I couldn't figure out how to mount /dev/sda1 and did pacman -Syu and then I mounted it once I figured it out now pacman says there is nothing to do.

Did systemd or grub not even show up?

Will this work from slax linux? I am sorry if I seem like I can't fix the issue myself seeing as you have given the resources for me to do so but what would be the exact steps to do that?

Thanks I might try that out later.

There is a difference between steady and small.

I ran it on my pc with a gtx 1070 with cuda enabled and compiled with the cuda compile hint but it ran really slowly how do you get it to run fast?

Perhaps nobody says they use it out loud although knowing vim users (and being one myself) they tend to be very willing to share how bad a mouse is for productivity while programming and how using vim is the ultimate solution. As for emacs I only ever have seen greybeards use it and it dosen't to have had much of a revival with the newer generations.

I personally don't use a RSSifier as all the sites I want to subscribe to tend to have a rss.xml or a atom.xml. There is https://rss.app/ which has rss feed generator but I am pretty sure it is not FOSS. Not to mention it uses AI and I don't like the idea of handing over all the websites I read to a third party company. As for FOSS you would be hard pressed to find one as it is an expensive thing to run. Best thing to do is send a message to the creator of the website you would like a RSS feed. It is not a hard thing to set up and they will probably do it at your request.

It downloads the html file as markdown I believe (Or whatever format it uses to store it) and displays it to you in it's own reader. From the article you can a button to redirect you to the actual site.

Having offline access to the articles is the main reason I use RSS over social media or simply visiting the websites.

Feeder, a RSS reader for Android. It has great UI, is fast at finding and parsing .xml from a link and has a comfortable reading experience. It has basicslly replaced social media for me besides the fediverse. The only thing I wish it had was more customizability. Being able to install Nord theme on it would be great.

I used to exclusively use clang but IMO gcc is just as good if not better. Both are pretty bulky but sometimes the LLVM toolchain can feel like bloat. Most of the time GCC is preinstalled on my linux distro so I don't even need to install it I just git clone my projects and run my Makefiles. The only reason I ever use clang now is on my chromebook because gcc isn't available through Termux.

They are used a lot but I don't think they could be called industry standard. Tons of people run vim, emacs and such aswell the occasional vendor provided IDE. Probably like 60% of software engineers run IntelliJ.

I'm not saying it's unhealthly I am just saying they don't help if they don't pay above the cost of living. Sure you can get a job paying 15 USD but that isn't even going to cover rent + utilities. So for now your stuck with your job and don't have the option to switch.
