  • __LINE__ returns the line of code its on, and % 10 means “remainder 10.” Examples:

    1 % 10 == 1
    ...
    8 % 10 == 8
    9 % 10 == 9
    10 % 10 == 0 <-- loops back to 0
    11 % 10 == 1
    12 % 10 == 2
    ...
    19 % 10 == 9
    20 % 10 == 0
    21 % 10 == 1
    

    In code, 0 means false and 1 (and 2, 3, 4, …) means true.

    So, if on line 10, you say:

    int dont_delete_database = true;
    

    then it will expand to:

    int dont_delete_database = ( 10 % 10 );
    // 10 % 10 == 0 which means false
    // database dies...
    

    if you add a line before it, so that the code moves to line 11, then suddenly it works:

    // THIS COMMENT PREVENTS DATABASE FROM DYING
    int dont_delete_database = ( 11 % 10 );
    // 11 % 10 == 1, which means true
    

  • Agreed. First LMG needs to clean house to make it a mentally safe work environment so there is never a repeat of Madison’s case … cause wtf. Second, an apology to Billet Labs … cause wtf. Third, they need to slow down the pace of work so the employees can focus on quality and accuracy.

    The rate at which they pump out content is, in my opinion, unsustainable for the employees and unsustainable for the semi-regular viewer as well

    I’ve noticed my recommendations have largely stopped showing me LTT videos over the past several months, probably because youtube recognizes that im not watching a large % of their videos, so why would youtube recommend the next one? i feel like their pace is thinning out their semi-regular viewers and leaving a highly devout community. To me, the semi-regulars are what add balance to the community rather than it becoming an echo chamber.

    I think by slowing down, LTT will be in a much healthier happier place in the long term, even if the numbers don’t obviously show it. That said, idk if I can see their videos in the same light knowing what’s happened behind the curtains. I think for rn, that might be it for me.
