@​ @binkle @cassidyclown this has to be delicious on fries or borgors. did you try it?

@✙ dcc :pedomustdie: :phear_slackware: never left, just been hanging out at bsd where your instance is nulled. hey dc!

@Adolph always was curios how to setup an emulator. did you make a writeup?

@✙ dcc :pedomustdie: :phear_slackware: @feld @Caleb James DeLisle onboarding to xmpp for an average person is much less intuitive than deltachat. you should try it. even run your own chatmail server.

@Adolph @Listens to Baroque while coding murder.exe :newt: still has a dir/path issue. i'm on bsd at the moment so that could be an issue.

@Adolph @Listens to Baroque while coding murder.exe :newt: i had a compilation error it seems but in general the code looks good from what i can tell (c++ is not my comfort space)

@Adolph @nprofile1q... @Blurry Moon @Listens to Baroque while coding murder.exe :newt: of course, please reach out if you ever want to pair program on something.

@Adolph @nprofile1q... @Blurry Moon @Listens to Baroque while coding murder.exe :newt: i can understand. time is tricky. i work a lot, and have more projects than time these days. i usually approach a new language with things ive done before or something that is low effort.

for me examples could be:

- caesar cipher converter (maths)
- hex converter (encoding/decoding)
- cli tool to hit api endpoint (net/http)

i try to find little projects that touch on different parts of the compute stack. it helps to better understand internals and what's possible with core libraries. at least this is how i do it.

@Adolph @nprofile1q... @Blurry Moon @Listens to Baroque while coding murder.exe :newt: i have a mixed bag of experience in that i can do some algo puzzles, but it's not something i stay sharp on so typically tipover in one of those interviews. computers are hard sometimes.
