I love how WASM is the thing that finally blurred the line between Web and Native programming, formely two realms isolated from each other for a long time. This both develops bette…

Euro-Office codebase will, obviously, not diverge significantly from the original product. If they planned fundamental changes, they would have started from scratch because taking …

Yes, but they can't do anything about it anyway. The FSF resolution on this matter, though, essentially means that they might just as well pull Euro-Office patches into OnlyOffice.…

It's quite frightening to see how an enormous 120KLOC pull request gets merged at once with very little public discussion or coverage by the devs after just 3 months (which IMO is …

char* is an exception to strict aliasing rules of C++ precisely to facilitate the author's use case. You would still need a reinterpret_cast to make it work, but it's actually good…

Why does any mention of C++ nowadays turn into a Rust debate? These can coexist even in a single project via C ABI. Also, despite the vast syntax and semantic differences, an exper…

Since you are already making use of LLMs, you could also ask questions about the code that it produces. I've been asking Google's AI overview and Deepseek while doing my first ever…
