At least in that case you can refactor the stored proc to be more performant without pushing application changes.

Not at all, for example at secondary/high school you would address male teachers interchangeable as ‘sir’ and ‘mr. Last name’.

The mistake is that you did a system update when you wanted to use the computer. Not implying that system updates should be a dangerous thing to do, but just something learnt from …

I like the priorities. I think a core thing that's missing is that code that performs well is (IME) also the simplest version of the thing. By that, I mean you'll be; - Avoiding vi…

You'd have an error about an incomplete type - see https://godbolt.org/z/G4Gsfn7MT > a pointer, whose size is always known Yeah, this is exactly how it works. You work with a point…

When we're talking about opaque it's really in relation to an individual translation unit - somewhere in the binary or its linked libraries the definition has to exist for the code…

Reminds me of the shadow paging used in LMDB, which is effectively the same but at the page level rather than the whole tree and allows each reader their own context to read from, …

f" something { my_dict['key'] } something else " This works in Python already, allowing for nesting is a big QoL improvement

C++ has two types of polymorphism; - Templates (compile time), which are generic bits of code that are monomorphized over every combination of template parameters that they're used…

> haven't seen depth info past the best bid/offer (maybe exists? I'm not an expert) Most exchanges will provide arbitrary depth in way of a pure order feed. From that you can const…

So are you arguing that genocide and slavery aren't objectively bad?

By sharing the load, we have a #reviews channel that anyone can put something in to get peer review. If there's something that needs attention from a specific person then arranging…

There's much more reason to do a greenfield project in C++ than Rust - experienced C++ hiring is still considerably easier! Not everything has a purely technical motivator.

The ship had sailed on > WFH is a rare, once a month kind of thing years ago for tech in London, way before 2020 for most businesses. You'd be better off looking outside of London …

In practise shared_ptr should only be used when you need to actually share ownership of some dynamically allocated object. You get around it by using it in the right place. You’re …

Sometimes you might use bits in an integer to encode data, e.g.; - A bitset index - Bitflags (e.g. to represent logging levels) - Feature flags `bit_count` (aka `popcount`) gives y…

Something to bare in mind when you're looking at both of those is the price is highly dependent on a number of factors; - Type of generation, looking at the NY data they have a hug…

Wouldn't `Count` ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.collectio... ) be the preferred way to check if a collection has values? `someCollection.Any()` is the same as…

> But wouldn't the ability to restrict arbitrary changes to a struct still be important? Typically immutability in C++ is at the interface scope rather than structural, e.g. prefer…

My comment wasn’t about buffered writing in a main thread, it was about moving the work out of your threads actually executing your program and having them push raw log actions int…

What you should be doing for checked arithmetic with GCC is use the builtins for those that aren’t aware; https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Integer-Overflow-Builtins...

It’s only possible to do that if your positive integers are passed via template parameters. All your type traits/SFAINE/concepts/static_asserts happen at compile time, you can’t us…
