Since searching for world nudist day just gets me aforementioned naked gardening day, I suppose there really isn't one.
TIL. And was surprised.
I guess any day can be nudist day when you're a nudist.

And I also just learned you can mass-rename files on Windows with the same root and (1), (2), ad nauseam, on the end by simply selecting them all and then trying to rename one. I've been doing little shell scripts for that before.

@dkf It sounds as if you've never seen Boost.Preprocessor.
-
@Bulb I knew that C++ could do those sorts of shenanigans. I wasn't aware of how far they could be done in C…
-
@dkf AFAIK C++ preprocessor is direct copy of C preprocessor and hasn't changed at all since at least 1990.
-
@dkf You can do anything with clever string replacement. It's one of my favorite forms of esoteric computation.
-
@anonymous234 Not really. The C/C++ preprocessor does not support any kind of recursion and is therefore not Turing complete (usually worked around by having enough (256 in Boost.Preprocessor) copies of some macros for iterating).
-
@Bulb OK: you can do anything with clever repeated string replacement.

That's not a preprocessor magic at all, but rather poor man's SFINAE in C (for rather weird use-case; I am not sure C++ could use a more normal SFINAE here).

Yes, but you probably ought to have a long look at yourself in the mirror before doing so.

@HardwareGeek are you so ugly that a mirror can be used as negative stimulus?

@Gąska That was the intended joke, yes, although I wasn't necessarily aiming it at myself.

Indeed. It's absolutely more fun to play with the house rule that someone targeted by a Draw 2 can play a Draw 2 in turn and so on until some unlucky bastard without a Draw 2 ends up picking up 6 cards or so.

@heterodox When I was in college, some friends had a house rule that if you had an exact match for the discard, you could play out of turn, with play continuing from the last person to play. Yes, including skip, reverse, draw 2 and wild draw 4 accumulating. Sometimes, depending on the number of players, played with more than one deck. Draw 32, anyone?

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perry_Como:
Como's Hollywood-type good looks earned him a seven-year contract with 20th Century-Fox in 1943. He made four films for Fox, Something for the Boys (1944), ...
In 1985, Como related the story of his first film role experience in Something for the Boys. He sat ready to work in his dressing room for two weeks without being called. Perry spent the next two weeks playing golf, still not missed by the studio. It was five weeks before he was actually called to the set, despite the studio's initial urgent report for work notice. When Como finally appeared, the director had no idea who he was.
Ah, if only I could do the same for some of those "urgent" meetings I keep getting invited to...

Funny, when in college, we played with these rules, too. We played with positively huge decks of cards (think a foot tall) and a lot of additional rules, including "blitzing", i.e. as you explained throwing in the exact same card out of turn. Obviously means you can immediately play multiples of your own card, i.e. 3 "green +2". So you often get a lot of cards on your hand, but also get rid of them more easily. Also gets interesting when multiple players throw in cards out of turn, because then you need to watch carefully whose turn is next.
Oh yeah, don't take more than 5 seconds to play, that'sa paddlingdrawing a card. Make a wrong move, draw a card. And no questions allowed ("whose turn is it, anyway?"), that's a card too.

That's nothing. Here in Poland, we have a very similar game, Makao. It's played with standard 52-card deck (or multiple decks). 2 and 3 are special cards that make you draw 2 or 3 cards, respectively. They can be stacked, but only if it's the same rank or the same suit as the last one. There's also king of hearts that makes the next person draw 5 - and it can also be stacked with 2s and 3s. And then there's also king of spades, which is also draw 5, but backwards - the previous player draws instead of the next. And after their turn, it's your turn again - so you can screw yourself very easily if you're not careful. Due to all this, it's very common to see someone draw 10 or even 15 cards at once. But this is less of a problem than in Uno, since you can play several cards at once with matching rank - so if you have a lot of cards with a lot of duplicates, you effectively control the suits being played.
Speaking of - have I mentioned you can play several 2s or 3s or even kings at once? Nothing beats the feeling of being hit with three 3s and responding with 2 kings, and the next person having to draw 19.

Is that the debugger's architecture, or the target architecture? Because it kinda makes sense to remotely debug ARM64 using an x64 computer.

The remote debugger (i.e. the host process you run for the debugger to attach through) was compiled for Arm and successfully installed on an x64 installation. It didn't run, but the installer didn't say anything was wrong other than that it failed to launch the installed program (natch).
At this point the debugger itself (which was also not Arm, but that's besides the point) wasn't even thought about.
