Career Advice High School Dropout
Hello everybody, this might be an unusual post but but I’ve been dealing with lots of anxiety and worries for a while now that my time is running out and I can’t do anything about my life. I’m originally from Romania, been living in Spain for about 2 years with family. Been having a job back home but I quit to come here and figure what I wanna do with my life. I’m 26 years old. I dropped out of high school due to depression, loneliness and lack of motivation . Dropped on my last year and now I only have a diploma for half of high school (inferior level aka 2 years out of 4). I’ve been working hard on learning programming (been studying c++) and I fell in love with it. I want to learn as much as I can while I work on my Spanish and build my portfolio with projects to potentially start job hunting and land something …anything really but now I’m afraid me not having at the very least full high school is gonna bite me hard and I’m afraid of that. I see there are way to get online degrees such as masters in java, c#, computer science as well as other certificates and what not. Would that be good enough? Along with projects and experience? Is full high school a must?
The thought of it has been making me feel worthless lately. Any advice is deeply appreciated. If anybody knows what I need to do to finish high school here in Spain or anything else to point me in the right direction or any sort of advice at all I would be forever grateful. I live in El Campello, Alicante. I will post this on a couple of subs as I am desperate and a little scared. I don’t know what to do….
Thank you to everybody that reads this and I apologize for the sad post.

Is there a good cross-platform (Windows / Linux) C or C++ library for file I/O?
Please recommend a battle-proven cross-platform wrapper around the system APIs for file I/O. I'm using a custom thin wrapper over stdio (fopen, fread, fseek etc.) and it works, but today I learned about some deficiencies of the stdio functions, and to fix them I need to add some direct calls to the system APIs. So my thin wrapper becomes a not-so-thin facade with two implementations for the two OSes, and then I need to learn all the caveats of the two system APIs just as I've learned caveats of stdio today. Surely, this has been done before many times!
One caveat is that I don't want Boost, Qt, or other monstrosity, I just want a single-purpose self-contained library for reading and writing files.
There is llfio, but it looks like overkill.
There is a project called cppfs on Github which looks nice, but its maintenance status is questionable at the moment.

Any tips on using c++ to create a program that runs on browser?
A few months ago I saw one of those asmr programming videos on Youtube, where a guy is programming a calculator and it shows up in the browser, but the guy is using the usual languages for a web application (js, html and css). So I would like to do something similar for a school project but using c++ for the back-end code, since that is the language the teacher wants in the program, and additionally, it is the one i am the most familiar with.
I would like some help since I am a beginner programmer and I really do not know much about web developing or anything outside of using the command prompt as output for my code. Also, is there an specific language that I need to use for c++ to be working with my browser? (Firefox).
Also just to make it clear, I need the program to show in my computer's browser, no need to upload it to the internet or stuff like that. Sorry if it is a dumb question but I would really like to stop using cmd as my output and learn more about graphics and stuff like that

Placement New with multiple Arguments?
In the DearImGUI source code I found quite an interesting piece of code:
struct ImNewWrapper {};
inline void operator new(size_t, ImNewWrapper, void ptr) { return ptr; }
inline void operator delete(void, ImNewWrapper, void) {} // This is only required so we can use the symmetrical new()
//...
#define IMPLACEMENTNEW(PTR) new(ImNewWrapper(), PTR)
#define IMNEW(TYPE) new(ImNewWrapper(), ImGui::MemAlloc(sizeof(TYPE))) TYPE
I know placement new as a single argument, so someting like
new (ptr) T();
. However, I have never seen it with something that seems to be two different arguments like
new (something, ptr) T();
. I assumed that maybe this is actually the comma operator? Whats the use of this?

I made a program that turns a string text to its corresponding binary. However, it was partially successful
\#include <iostream>
\#include <string>
using namespace std;
// get the string
// store the ascii values of the string in an array
// loop through the array and print its corresponding binary represntation
// evaluate the string
// store the ASCII values of a string in a array
// get the binary through the array
// start looping through the array in a normal order
// if for example the ASCII value is 72:
// divide 72 by the base 2
// the answer is 36 (remainder is 0) then divide it again by 2
// the quotient is 18 divide it by 2 again (remainder 0)
// the quotient is 9 divide it by 2 again (remainder is 1)
// here the answer would be a decimal (ignore the decimal point) and divide by 2
// the quotient is 4 divide by 2 and the remainder would be 0
// the quotient is 2 divide by 2 and the remainder would be 0
// the quotient is 1 divide by two again and the remiander is 1
// stop the loop when the quotient is 0
// print the binary in reverse order
// the check if it exceeds 8 bytes. if it does then prompt the user to input the etxt again(impossible)
// get the representing emoji (optional)
// make a dictionary like structure (similar to pythons)
// for key : "1" : yellow or #
