Splitting subfolder into separate repo is full history rewrite. Changing commit message or commit tree is full history rewrite. Also, if you maintain local changes, you want your r…

I am getting my hair stood up by all the Comment Engineering going on in this thread. If all of the participants are organics, who are you people? If most is bots, the prospects ar…

whoa, "we tested" seven completely different chemicals, one has zero effect, six others have massive negative effects? By what mechanism?

Apple's Metal is C++ too. Like, actual, you can compile it with plain C++ compiler and a shim header.

On embedded, your fight totally is against language and runtime. Since you cannot gave conformant freestanding C++ without exceptions, rtti and most of STL, "using c++" on embedded…

Last time I looked "submitting a proposal" to WG21 involved attending in person. Has something changed recently?

I have slightly different experience. Any time during deep work on codebase when I need to stop and switch lanes to study how exactly did .SECONDEXPANSION work or which of "git res…

They did not misunderstand anything. All of the behaviour is not inherent in raw base model and has been planted by the agressive, secretive reinforcement learning they do for benc…

Before everyone piles on this comment with "whoosh" and "it was sarcasm" and such — have you noticed that reacting to ironic, sarcastic comments as if they were meant literally is …

why for? the reply is about factual historical experience with webpage hard errors. Would you like to have a law that forbids you, under penalty of fine, to read any book you buy o…

I'd much prefer correct sitemap.xml to an RSS. Please let me keep up to date with your site/blog/homepage without scraping it!

I have been carefully following the following personal rule: Never edit or comment or contribute to stack overflow or english wikipedia or linux kernel. It kind of feels like being…

C is about the safest language you can choose, between cbmc, frama-c and coccinelle there is hardly another language with comparable tooling for writing actually safe software, tha…

"Prevent exceptions from leaving destructors." — thank you for providing well known sources that support my point! Although sadly we all have to eat Sutter Meyers bread, at least i…

What book covers in depth *throwing* from destructors? Even more sane thing — throwing from constructors and function arguments — is mentioned in passing ("unwind will take care of…

yeah, but AI played crucial role in this fraud. It turbocharged and spearhedded . Thanks to AI, you can now fraud too!

If you noticed, the article did not actually tell you what happens when destructor throws. It was only about double-exception case and throwing in nothrow() function (both perfectl…

this is always overlooked. AI stories sound like "with right attitude, you too can win 10M $ in lottery, like this man just did" Running LLM on 1000 functions produces 10000 report…

If lossy-compressed transcodes of ripped movies are not "transformative works" and can get people even jailed, then lossy-compressed text of ripped books and websites is neither. T…

Nothing gives programmer bigger sense of future job security than trying vibe-coding with a "frontierest" model and looking at the code. Especially once it starts changing existing…

But... what sort of storage device does not allow your computers to use all 256 byte values? Why is random access data stored on teletype?
