It's sad when parents and school counselors push kids into computer work when the kids have no interest or aptitude for it.
And people shouldn't talk about salaries for non-supervisory people- hourly is what matters.

That's the application for my EspMon Reboot[^] code which monitors your PC's vital statistics.
The transfer buffer to send data to the display is 64KB. The app itself has a mere 33KB in global data.
Total flash size is less than 350KB, and that's with Zephyr RTOS on it, and it's got a truetype font embedded in the firmware.
This is deeply satisfying to me. The challenge of making little CPUs do big things is what makes me enjoy my work.
I think maybe it's because I grew up coding on little CPUs (they were all "little" back then in terms of capabilities, regardless of actual physical size)
I just can't get any joy out of solving problems when I don't have to care how many resources it uses.
The last windows PC executable I made was 159KB w/ no dependencies, and that's @ 64-bit.
What's the stuff you enjoy working with most? What's it like? What do you enjoy about it?

My wife moved out 7 years ago, tried to leave me three years ago. I moved to the mainland four months ago to look after my sick dad. I have two sons. One lives in a house I bought him, one lives in the old family home. My wife and I would stay there when we visit but I honestly have trauma from being blind drunk there and dating for six months.
So the tenant in our previous home is moving out. I want to sell this bigger house, so we decided the son can move into and keep the smaller home. Except he's autistic like me and freaking out about change. I did a call with him last night.
Everything is so complicated

"Moving to the Mainland" could mean coming from Hawaii or Taiwan.

Tasmania. Taiwan thinks it's a country, I doubt they call it the mainland

Readers Digest Joke of the day
Quote: A guy spots a sign outside a house that reads “Talking Dog for Sale.” Intrigued, he walks in.
“So what have you done with your life?” he asks the dog.
“I’ve led a very full life,” says the dog. “I lived in the Alps rescuing avalanche victims. Then I served my country in Iraq. And now I spend my days reading to the residents of a retirement home.”
The guy is flabbergasted. He asks the dog’s owner, “Why on earth would you want to get rid of an incredible dog like that?”
The owner says, “Because he’s a liar! He never did any of that!”
I'll pack my stuff and leave now
I don't think before I open my mouth, I like to be as surprised a everyone else.

Are there good French language resources for C++ ?
Websites ? Youtube channels ? Conferences ?
I know that cppreference.com has a French translation.
Thanks.

You're in Quebec, right?
Please don't take this the wrong way, but as an outsider looking in (I'm in Ontario but regularly watch the news from Quebec): Get rid of all your politicians who push the French propaganda. All of them - they're not doing their constituents any favor.
They'll have you believe if you learn English, then somehow French is at a disadvantage and it'll eventually disappear from la belle province. You can learn English without anyone's French being affected at all. Many countries teach kids many languages (and more than just French and English) - I think you'll have a hard time finding anyone who'll claim their mother tongue has somehow been diminished as a result.
I've always believed, if you don't learn English in this country, you're placing yourself at a disadvantage. I know English is taught in Quebec schools, but they hold up their noses and abhor teaching it, so they do the absolute minimum and certainly don't encourage anyone to do more outside the school curriculum (like, read a book, or go see a movie in its original language).
I'm familiar with your posts here on CP, and frankly I can't hold anything against you - your English is pretty darn good, and if you speak with an accent, then it's not coming through in writing - more power to you. But the fact that you have to ask, tells me something's still inadequate. Or maybe you're asking on someone else's behalf - but the point still remains, if the only language you speak is an impediment towards learning a programming language - you're facing two uphill battles, not one.
I get annoyed every time I see those commercials where different people keep repeating, "ici, on travaille en francais". My reaction is always: sorry for your lost opportunities then.
I've had this conversation with many friends in Quebec. They rarely disagree - none of this is their fault, this is what the schools are teaching. To which always say, then throw your politicians out, they're the ones making decisions on your behalf. They'll have you believe French is in a big decline right now in Quebec. I've never seen anyone ever offer any numbers to demonstrate it. As a voter, insist on having your schools teach the skillsets you need to compete. They're holding you back.

I've given similar advice there; learn English and use an international keyboard.
It gives you access to more resources; CodeProject, SO, MSDN - all English. Also makes sharing code across borders a lot easier. Even if you're from a country where English is being taught in school, it is an easy language to learn. And that it works is proven by your English question, getting answers from a lot of non-native English speakers. (Which includes American and Australian).

...and as I wrote, being familiar with your contributions here in the lounge, I was surprised to see you ask for this - that's why I inquired whether this was for yourself, or you were asking on behalf of someone else.
I truly hope that, unlike Mircea, you're not seeing any of this as a personal attack.

I have no issues with English resources; I've been working in English all my professional life (30 years)
I just want to find French resources.
If there are none, there are none; if there are some, I'd like to know them.

Fair enough.
I just remember being very disappointed with the French programming books I was being offered or had to buy while in college. Very expensive (but then, aren't all college books?), and absolute crap. I had concluded back then that:
(a) being a good programmer
(b) being able to communicate clearly
(c) in the language of your choice
(d) actually wanting to write a book
...is a rare combination. I was always underwhelmed with the results.

Not to mention that it does not pay much, if it pays at all.
But one might get other opportunities from it.
