- a friend of mine asked if it makes sense to define your own wrapper class for `SDL_Window` the way [Lazy Foo](https://lazyfoo.net/tutorials/SDL/10_color_keying/index.php) does it.
|
|
I told him there's no reason to do that in modern C++, because `std::unique_ptr` can do everything for you anyways.

<sub>on another note, I did read a blog post about this once somewhere, but couldn't be bothered to find it. so there you go! I made a post about this too.</sub>

- it's updatin' time! I took some time to clean up old pages and update my *about me*.\

over time I've been learning how to write content on the treehouse effectively, and the new about me reflects that.

- I recently got a question from my someone telling me they doesn't understand why `*x` does not read from the pointer `x` when on the left-hand side of an assignment.
|
|
and that made me think,
|
|
|
|
### what's up with `*x` not always meaning the same thing in different contexts?

- I've been thinking recently how cool it is to be able to single-step into Unreal Engine's source code and edit it while you're working with it, and how uncool it is that I can't do the same thing easily in the Rust world.
|
|
|
|
after all, aren't we just dealing with a bunch of code running on the computer? why not let me poke at it?

- last night I couldn't sleep because of type theory. in the process of trying to write down my thoughts, I ended up discovering a class of types which, to my knowledge, no language implements.
