As long as it is something I want to be loading all at once, I would go with JSON and use the JSON binary format provided by QJsonDocument and forget about it.
But if I expect it to get bigger and need stuff partially loaded, things get lengthier.
Stream Reading libraries (e.g. the XML one in Qt) makes it much longer to write and that’s where I would consider whether to use a database instead.

Yeah, seems weird.
Normally one would use multiple horses and some ropes for that. No idea how you would manage that with a single dog

Your disk quota shall be reduced by 100MB before redirecting you to ed

If I am using Excel, I am using Windows and I will be changing all text to use CR-LF newline format (if sending from a Linux system) anyway.

more of a concept

And it’s better to be considered so.
The name itself suggests a Comma as a separator, but we know how inconvenient that is and that tab characters tend to be useful in most cases.
Even LibreOffice Calc asks the user what they expect as the separator when given a csv file, even if it has enough commas to feel correct.

One big reason for requiring comments being updates the same time as what is commented. I once managed to do that for a while when I alone was making and maintaining a project.

It becomes harder, the more people are working on a project and the larger the project gets.

But the alternative would lead to Java-like function-etc names and that is not very desirable either.

Extremophiles: “Are we a joke to you?”

Nah

Just make good enough solar panels that can run machines to turn your faeces into Tasty Wheat and all your excreted gases into useful ones and you can get rid of all the animals and insects you want.
Oh and you will need to cover the top of your structures on Earth with them and constantly maintain them against environmental wear and also make sure you have enough energy required for continuous micro-terraforming required to keep the place habitable for humans after the following ecological collapse.

So I can do programming and find and fix bugs.
How do I go on to advertise myself to them as a security researcher and get that hefty hourly fees?

Problem is, I am not very good at fooling people marketing.

But what does that have to do with acupuncture?

Because you forgot to tell them that you already have the dependencies at home?

Considering that enough pro’s are doing the same, perhaps you didn’t really do it wrong?

Found the guy who passed the test with

printf ("    *\n   **\n  ***\n ****\n*****\n);

UK seems to be big on Windows gun control laws :P

No one will care if you aren’t either a company earning millions or are a huge public figure

And that is not just a company or “capitalism” problem. That’s a society problem.
If you are not some public figure, if you cry out “thief”, you can expect people to tell you to “shut up” instead^[1], while the thief, who might have some amount of local power, will get to smack you right in front of them.
Why? Because to them, you are the problem for making too much noise. Because you don’t let bygones be bygones.

If someone has the gall to steal in front of everyone and not be said anything before you cry, perhaps you want to be looking at the bystanders with a fair amount of suspicion. In our case however, we already know the bystanders (talking about governments here) are guilty and that they are already all too powerful and the others are just standing too far and like ants to the thieves.

Exactly.
If you are exiting with a memory leak, Linux is having to wipe the floor for you.

I tend to use proper black on proper white too, specially on a laptop monitor of mine, that makes it look specially good.

I exist btw

Although these websites are still doable.
The kind I absolutely loathe are the ones which, if I make the window width smaller (because the website is not using the space any way), the text in the website further reduces with exact proportion.
At that point, I consider if what I am reading is actually worth clicking the “Reader Mode” button or should I just Ctrl+W

There are some times when I wish I were better at regexp and scripting.
Times when I am writing a similar kind of thing again and again, which is just different enough (and small enough number of repetitions) that it doesn’t seem viable to make the script.

At those times, I tend to think - maybe Cursor would have done this part well - but have no real idea since I have never used it.

On the other hand, if I had a scripting endpoint from clang, ^[1], I would have used that to make a batch processor for even a repetition as small as 10 and wouldn’t have thought once about AI.

I guess, it would be useful as a kind of fuzzer with a high price to performance ratio.
Making tests to try and find vulnerabilities.

For normal functionality testing though, better off making it yourself.
