> Measuring productivity with LoCs is like measuring output with cash burn. companies are doing that as well lol (re: tokenmaxxing)

more that, most C++ developers aren't "C++ people", the ones that are are a very vocal, but very small minority, though they're disruptive enough that some projects (re: the aforem…

> I wonder what starting point and success criteria do you assume for that 2 year timeline. About a year ago I wrote a deferred renderer with dynamic lights, and shadow mapping, an…

just because someone writes or wrote C++ doesn't make them a "C++ person", and "C++ people" are very much against rust

while SEO has made search worse, i don't think it's the core reason why things are impossible to find, i think it's simply the fact that, over time, google has been butchering the …

yeah, but those are using conventional explosives, only countries like the US and Russia have enough nukes to do the same with nuclear explosives, a country like japan would need a…

that's exactly the point, the _lack of_ humans during its evolution is what it has to do with us, a mushroom may be poisonous to the species that it evolved around, while at the sa…

consumer cards don't share dies with datacenter cards, but they do share dies with workstation cards (the formerly quadro line), ex. the GB202 die is used by both the RTX PRO 5000/…

it's worth noting as well that the windows API has been a thing since 1985, _before_ C was standardized, such old versions of C were incredibly untyped

or possibly the malware has spread to multiple of their devices?

that's the altered part -- those more restrictive terms of the VVVVVV license only apply to the _assets_, and the license for the source code itself is far more liberal: https://gi…

if your data's sequential, creating an iterator in C++ is as simple as returning a begin and end pointer, and will be optimized away by any level other than O0 https://godbolt.org/…

> So why aren't we doing this? isn't IPv6 is basically that? just restricted to internet addresses

and it's not like SRAM isn't used in modern computers -- it's baked directly into the silicon of your CPU to serve as register banks and cache

> the case of a run-away string that, i'd guess, is one of the reasons why most languages don't allow multi-line strings without special syntax

it seems to be on github, but the commit history doesn't go beyond 2017: https://github.com/beejjorgensen/bgc

that one in particular was not really caused by goto, but rather by braceless if statements, it'd be a vulnerability all the same if the line was a "fail" function that was called …

just about any electronics here in brazil are ~2x the price, be it phones, computers, computer parts (CPUs, GPUs, MOBOs, etc), or anything else (not just apple, any brand)

it's not guaranteed atomic, and if you ARE using volatiles, "maybe" doesn't really cut it, so now you need to do `++*v` the proper way (ex. `lock cmpxchg` / `__atomic_compare_excha…

that's still wrong, the integer data model is defined by the target, which is not specified in the quiz, not solely by the compiler, ex. clang uses 32-bit longs when compiling for …

there's a minecraft-style 4d sandbox game, with a playable demo: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1941640/4D_Miner/

"survived to update the file" implies that the one to add it to the list must be the one to have landed there

> Also i think that the reason C has -> is because in C pointer de-reference is a prefix whereas in Pascal is a suffix so without it you'd either have to write (*ptr).foo. Pascal a…

> The HTML and JS specs are absurdly complex to the point where there's basically no hope of anyone implementing them from 0 That's actually being done in the Serenity OS project! …

have you considered using C11's _Generic feature? It allows you to maunally implement function overloading: https://godbolt.org/z/jxjvnMTPT
