I only have Netflix so everything here is on there (at least in the Netherlands).
I really enjoyed Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra.
They may be kids shows, but still really good and fun as an adult.
Watched Norsemen last week, a comedy set in a Viking setting
Three seasons so far and more coming (hopefully).
Erased (both the anime and the real-life series) is awesome! About a guy who (uncontrollably) jumps a few seconds back in time whenever something bad is about to happen so he can prevent it. Then his mom gets killed and he jumps something like 20 years back in time. It's only one season so not a long watch, but absolutely worth it.
Dorohedoro, another anime, still only one season, hopefully more underway, but the animation and trippy atmosphere of this one are really awesome.
Loved Your Lie in April, also an anime, even got me to play the piano. Also, I'm not crying, you are!
For something else: The Good Place (comedy); Bojack Horsemen (animated dramedy); Love, Death & Robots (sci-fi shorts); Community (comedy); Peaky Blinders (crime); Stranger Things (horror)...
I could go on all day and some favorites are still missing (especially anime's), but I'll leave it at this as you only got one weekend
Totally agree on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul though, both are pretty awesome.
There's also this movie, El Camino, about Jesse after he escapes in Breaking Bad.

Those were some of my favorites too.
Loved the ones with the farmers and the invasion from another dimension and the ones with the space ship and weird spider aliens as well
Unfortunately, not all of them were of the same high standard.

If you add animes to the list, Re:Zero, Sword Art Online (in spite of the dumb title, it is awesome), Wakfu (the first two seasons were great), Overlord, and a few others are worth adding. +100 for The Last Airbender anime series. There is no M. Night Shyamalan version.

In that they are small things.
Imagine if you would, that people often get chicks and rabbits for pets around this time of year. Further, imagine if you will, that we were instead celebrating symbolically with the Easter Elephant, instead.
And imagine, then, if said pachyderm decided to hope around your living room. Or dying the elephant eggs - in what size cup?
Chris: I realize this is a bit personal, but does Bob lay eggs?

Absolutely - when I was hunting for a new dye-it I found that they are (over) easy to make and I am not scrambling to get ready in the mornings.

A question in the C++ forum today led me to C++ conformance improvements in Visual Studio 2019 | Microsoft Docs[^]. It seems to me that C++ is getting more and more complex and only a select few (some of whom are regulars here) will understand and be able to use these features. So I have to wonder who benefits from them, apart from the compiler writers who will definitely keep their jobs.
|
|
|
|
|
There are several C++20 and beyond features I would like to use in my code, like built in support for coroutines, but my current toolchain I develop with primarily doesn't support them fully.

I'm with you. There isn't much beyond C++11 that I've found use for, at least so far. C++17 added <filesystem> , and C++20 added useful functions to atomic_flag . There's still nothing for sockets, but there's no end of pedantic crap.
Many systems will have platform-specific targets for things that have since been standardized. They won't bother to move to a version of C++ that supports them, because it would likely entail some rework.

Same thing is happening with C#. What was once the one of the cleanest languages is accruing debris.

I don't know much C# and getting into an existing C# project is hell difficult to understand.

One of the "improvements" I find really complicated is the range operator.
string name;
name = "My name is Sander Rossel".Substring(11);
name = "My name is Sander Rossel"[11..]; Now tell me, which line of code better conveys my purpose?
Pattern matching is nice, but should be rarely needed in proper OOP.
Exception ex = new Exception();
switch (ex)
{
case InvalidCastException:
break;
case InvalidOperationException:
break;
case NullReferenceException:
break;
default:
break;
}
var exType = ex.GetType();
if (exType == typeof(InvalidCastException))
{ }
else if (exType == typeof(InvalidOperationException))
{ }
else
{ } There's probably an advantage to the pattern matching, but it doesn't do much for readability.
I love named tuples though.
public (string firstName, string lastName) GetNameParts(string name) { }
(var firstName, var lastName) = GetNameParts("Sander Rossel");
var tuple = GetNameParts("Sander Rossel");
Console.WriteLine(tuple.firstName); And of course string interpolation, which greatly improves readability and decreases change of bugs.
Console.WriteLine($"Hi {firstName} {lastName}, welcome to {appName}!");
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Hi {0} {1}, welcome to {2}!", firstName, lastName, appName); If I could keep only one language improvement from about the last ten years it would be string interpolation!

Which code better conveys your purpose? The second.
Using ranges in Python for the last five million yeasrs, it is a joy to see them in C#. The only thing to remember, as in most languages that use slices and ranges, in [start..end] is that "end" is a stop and is not included in the range.
Console.WriteLine("Hello World!"[1..5]);
Console.WriteLine("Hello World!"[..5]);
Both give us "Hello" rom [0] to [4] stopping at [5].

I think your opinion comes from the "....Using ranges in Python for the last five million years..."
If you're used to ranges, then the second version is more obvious.
If you're not, it's pretty mysterious.

Named tuples and interpolated strings are awesome, as is the ?? operator and the ?. operator. Those stay.

I've been using ? and ?? so much I don't even consider them new anymore! So completely agreed

You beat me to it chris, I was just about to say exactly the same thing.
Myself and a colleague, where talking about this the other day, and basically came to the conclusion that all languages now have to take this approach, simply to appease the 15 minute attention span of the instant feedback generation.
