General PSA: don’t apply for a job at Canonical. Do NOT apply for a job at Canonical. Treat the blatantly artificially enormous number of job openings they post as the mirages of trickster fae. They are unhinged. Mark Shuttleworth is unhinged. They will drag you through the mud, disrespect you and your time, and definitely not give you a job. This article I saw today is like the thirteenth of its kind that I personally have seen https://dustri.org/b/my-experience-with-canonicals-interview-process.html

ALSO! if you are making a function for a generic integral type XT, you can do stuff like

XT prev_x_i = std::numeric_limits<XT>::max();

i previously didn't understand that API being designed that way, but now it makes more sense!

like, having a separate string pool to encode varlen strings? yeah, that actually totally makes sense and is something you can consider!

+ weirder to be the one making the file format, integrating elements that i've seen in other formats over the years

also i made a custom binary format for an assignment and it's so weird being able to confidently thumb through something in a hex editor

oh this is VERY cute - if you design a C++ function to use templates (e.g. you want to have a configurable option that affects a hot loop) and want to debug it, you can choose which version of the function you want to debug!

nearing "mom would be sad" levels this morning

today, after nothing else worked, i fixed the touchscreen on my coworker's W10 laptop by: booting into Xubuntu (where it worked out of the box) and then back into Windows (where it now works)
