    One time I struggled debugging a program on a clean Windows machine. For some reason it seemed like it couldn’t find a JSON file that’s obviously in the system. I could even open the file on my own and view its contents.

    Turns out after much frustration that the file was actually a json.txt file. I didn’t notice because the extension was hidden, so I only saw .json and thought it was fine.

    The STD is maybe the only good thing C++ has over C, and even that is awful compared to other language’s standard libraries.

    I can’t name another good thing C++ has. Maybe templates. C++’s reliance on inheritance for polymorphism is awful (should’ve gone with interfaces/traits).

    Not to mention the mess with all the different types of constructors that must always be implemented.

    It’s just a bunch of bad design choices added on top of an old outdated language.



  • It is broken in Slack. Apparently it’s supposed to be an easy fix and there even was a workaround for it.

    But then Slack removed that workaround. I’ve heard it’s possible to get it working again, but it’s harder.

    Edit: I don’t blame Wayland for it. The entire problem is on Slack, as screen sharing works for other programs.
