See, I like to actually enjoy myself sometimes, instead of just hating the world

And part of that enjoyment is good coffee. Fresh, locally roasted coffee, that I grind fresh each morning. I either take it black, or with a splash of milk, depending on my mood

Drip brewers are perfectly fine, so long as you don't use the hot plate. But the biggest impact on coffee flavor is the freshness of both the roast and the grind

Waiting till the new year to change is an excuse

Change now, not later

Yup

It's also the "choke that guy with your crotch till he passes out" sport

(Triangle chokes)

I am really looking forward to all the new ~~fresh meat~~ newcomers to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Being able to smash someone else's face into the mat for once

Because it's all an impulse decision

"New Year's Resolutions" are the exact opposite of setting good goals

Good goals:

  • need to be definable
    • "I will start restricting calories and target a 1lb per week loss"
    • not "get in shape"
  • need to be actionable
    • "I will start making plans right now, and implementing them tonight"
    • not "I will wait till a specific time of the year"
  • need to be sustainable
    • "I will adjust my strategy to work around my daily habits and otherwise be flexible"
    • not "NO MORE SWEETS"

I think it's both a big cat, and the perspective makes it look bigger

I write code so I can pay for my bougie coffee

(Local fresh roasted coffee is amazing)

Coffee brewers that have a hot plate under the carafe will burn and ruin coffee. The best method of keeping coffee fresh is to keep it in a sealed container (like a double walled carafe with a lid)

Microwaving coffee is actually a pretty decent way to re-heat it, but the taste will depend on how fresh it was kept prior

I'm more talking about theory than practical.

I've not developed anything in C/C++, so I don't know practical uses for a double pointer, aside from multidimensional arrays, or arrays of pointers

My point was that, conceptually, pointers to pointers is how most complex data structures work. Even if the C representation of said code doesn't have a int** somewhere

Mostly boys admiring the boobs or butts of girls

Them: "Yo man, check out her ass... She's so hot"

How i want to reply: "Yep, that's a gluteus maximus, although I don't see her sweating"

Mostly ask when I'm gonna get a girlfriend / married / or have kids

Although, most of the relatives have stopped asking, or just accepted that I'll always be single

Also, boy "locker room" talk always made me uncomfortable

The distinction is meaningless in the land of Opcode's and memory addresses

For example, a struct is just an imaginary "overlay" on top of a contiguous section of memory

Say you have a struct

struct Thing {
  int a;
  int b;
  Thing* child;
}

Thing foo {}

You could easily get a reference to foo->child->b by doing pointer arithmetic

*((*((*foo) + size(int)*2)) +size(int))

(I've not used C much so I've probably got the syntax wrong)
