the only thing the chipset was ever licensed for is to... Atari Games (a separate company, don't ask) for use in Area 51 et al, where they doubled the RAM, added an IDE hard drive to store prerendered animations, and replaced the CPU with a 68020.

i mean it depends on what you want to do, but if you're dipping your toes into embedded development then you're not doing yourself any favors by doing it in c++, especially not in arduino's weird sandpit.

it might be that you don't care, and that's fine, but bear in mind you are building up a distorted and muddy picture of how things work. if you decide to do embedded stuff for real then you will have to empty all that poo poo out of your head before you can fill it again.

also the stuff going on under the hood isn't all that bad. the hard part is finding a pre-assembled toolchain for whatever arm-based board you are using (use an arm based board, for the love of god, preferably in conjunction with a standalone flashing adapter)

i appreciate the effort posting because this stuff is all new to me. in all honesty though it's probably all moot because i'm also going back to school and will be seeing java, c, assembly, and c++ by the time i finish so whatever opinions i have now are likely to be way different on the other side. except for "web bad", of course.

anyways yeah to tl;dr my blabbering about sql thing before.

1) how difficult is it to make a table, give analysts write permission to it, and use it only for queries that generate execution plans, so that poo poo can be read only while execution plans can still be made and inspected?

2) how taxing are execution plans on the server? are we talking "finish the query and then think about it", or something better?

What db engine are you on afiak postgres and mysql let you run explain on read only servers? And not taxing at all unless I'm really misunderstanding

nope, goes back to the 80s

Atari went tech buble for a number of factors and posted the largest corporate loss in history in 1983 ($583 million) causing its parent company's stock price to fall 2/3 from $60 to $20. eventually the computer and game console division ended up owned by Jack Tramiel after he got kicked out of Commodore in 1984. the arcade division got renamed to Atari Games and sold to Namco in 1985, bought out by employees in 1986, and got bought by Time Warner again in 1993. (the agreement was they couldn't use the Atari name for home releases which is how you ended up with the Tengen name.)

so Atari, the independent video game company who made the Jaguar, licensed it to the arcade game company Atari Games, who was owned by Time Warner.

You could also use it as a second CPU for intensive calculations, apparently. It's big in the demo scene for that purpose.

std::chrono is very good at handling durations, like exceptionally good
its support for time points, clocks, etc. is abysmal, though

java.time is also very good at handling times, dates, timezones, and all possible combinations of the above. in fact, it is better than any other library for any other language for doing this

okay cool so the Amiga reference manual includes 68k assembly macro versions of Insert/Remove/AddHead/AddTail and other various linked list functions that I stole for my Jaguar game

so basically I have a doubly linked list implementation that can contain any struct as long as it physically begins with a struct Node and all I had to do was convert them from macros to functions and write my own C headers for them :toot:

C++ is actually really nice, but by god, is it not a beginner friendly language, and given its legacy, it probably won't ever be (although I posit it is getting better). Though, if you make effort to learn it, you will probably end up writing crazy things that are surprisingly nice to use (see std::chrono and (possibly std:: ) date for exhibit A).

You will also end up spending lot of time janitoring your CI to use ALL THE TOOLS because lol if you trust yourself to write correct C++. :v:

Could you elaborate on your CI setup? I've been improving the tests for my astronomy research C++ code, and I think a good next step would be setting up some CI. This is especially important now because more undergrads are contributing code to it and they are likely to mess things up due to inexperience.

Do you do anything besides compile, run cppcheck (or another linter), and run unit tests? For example, do you do anything to ensure that your code is valgrind clean?
