Afaik Herb Sutter largely stopped working on Cppfront a few months ago, and was never quite supposed to be a real thing, just a personal playground (or so Sutter claims at this poi…

Stupid question, can't this trivially be solved by having a movable constructor / builder type that then gets turned into a non-movable type when built?

It's not about having to remember them, it's that you shouldn't waste these short single symbols on operations that are only rarely used. This stuff (especially the ternary) are a …

It's their own blog and they can do whatever they feel like to break up the flow. I think it's quite charming tbh

Sort specifically is kind of a weird example, but C++ is full of awful naming. std::map (which is not a hash map, which is what most people would expect), std::move (which doesn't …

Yes, with the trade-off of essentially requiring exceptions, which are also banned in some codebases.

Is it really, though, or is it just in comparison to C++? Tbh I never expected that experiment to go anywhere. I guess that leaves Carbon (and large scale efforts to rewrite C++ in…

May I ask how far you got? It's not a good representation of industrial engineering, for sure, but I do like the actual logistics management and "how do I deal with my technical de…

It isn't anymore, though, that's kind of the whole point of the article.

Strategic vision. The common sentiment is that you didn't really want to do that. You expect higher returns from only having a single base model.

How about just panic? If a wrap happens and you don't expect it, it's almost always a severe bug. Then, dedicated APIs for wrapping behavior where you expect it to happen.

Not OP, but I've had the same conclusion. It's a bit cheeky to call it a puzzle game, but I don't think it's strictly wrong. Imo it's better to approach Demon's Souls as an explora…

No shade thrown, but I always preferred my game with some amount of story or artistic ambition beyond mere puzzling. I'd take Void Stranger or probably even Deadly Rooms of Death: …

I don't think that's what that word means.

really?

So, where can I buy a handful for personal use?

I think that a "minimal viable baseline" type implementation should not break the ODR. In Rust these types of proposals are common, in C++ less so. The incredibly tedious release p…

Well, I've been unable to follow you as well, then. Obviously if they'd used a different type of syntax (e.g. using # for annotations), those would also be compatible with the lang…

It's an overloaded comment. I am personally quite fine with it, I don't think it's bad. but it is an overloaded comment.

This is begging the question. Yes, but why did they do that over dedicated syntax? (My personal theory is that early go had a somewhat misguided idea of simplicity, and preferred o…

This is such a silly response when "You've gotten better at using them and know how to work around their flaws now." is right there and seems a lot more plausible.

Manjaro sells itself as "Arch, but more approachable". In reality, you'll often end up with "Arch, but with additional weird package management upgrade issues that are a byproduct …

I used Manjaro for a few years. That's how I learned a pretty important lesson about software engineering that still informs how I work to this day. "A layer of abstraction on top …
