Imgui, because it makes dev/debug guis ridiculously straightforward and easy to create.

If you’re supporting windows anyway you should use their tooling. This isn’t controversial, MSVC is a good compiler supported by good developers. I find MSVC more reliable than MinGW on windows as well. I recommend maintaining a single CMake project so that you can switch between compilers and build tools.

A natural monopoly is when an industry is difficult to break into, making competition difficult or impossible. This favors incumbents, in fact, a lot of industries are natural monopolies (pharma, aerospace, chip production).

The difficulty of breaking into an industry may be because:

• new players cannot compete with established scale
• start up costs require a nearly all-or-nothing approach, high risk
• regulations tie the hand of new innovators

It was so good it eventually collapsed and destabilized dozens of countries!

I believe algorithm focused technical tests are useful. However, if the interviewing team hasn’t taken the time to understand both the problem and the answer, then they are completely pointless. So you’re exactly right here to challenge their bullshit.

Good question.

I know I was being snarky, but I do appreciate the context. The monopolizing bit clarifies it for me as something that you may own but if found to be monopolizing the resource to a detriment of the community, that is not acceptable. So “own” isn’t really used here to mean entitled to, but something that you may possess as an appropriation while acting in good faith.

Ok, so exploitable land (a means of production) can be owned for the exclusive enjoyment of an individual in a socialist economy. Got it, thanks.

Ok, thanks for clarifying that the internet still has no idea what socialism is.

I’m sorry, are you implying that private ownership of a means of production (in this case, farm land) is acceptable in a socialist economy?

Oh cool, socialism is when you own a means of production but only keep some of the produced goods.

Lol, sure.

And technically that means you’re producing on that farm which makes it private property.

One of my two only used commands. The other being yay.

You must have me confused for someone else, I am not on any other reply chain except this one.

yes I am chronically unemployed and I blame the “hidden” requirements boogeyman for my troubles

No, I’m skeptical because it sounds more like disillusionment.

That sounds salty.

I’ve left jobs when I don’t get rewarded for hard work. Thankfully we live in a free market that allows me to also freely choose my employer and occupation.

Humans do not like the same thing over and over every day.

Speak for yourself, I like routine and being rewarded for working hard.
