Most people in the world wants some form of ethnic cleansing - that's why you get 'ethnic quarters' in most large cities, people generally like to be around their own 'kind'.

Current LLMs don't pass the turing test. Remember, the interrogator is allowed to be hostile, so they would obviously employ all known prompt injections and typical LLM 'gotchas' t…

>There's no namespacing feature provided so you're left with the convention of picking a few letters as a prefix and hoping it doesn't overlap and yet is succinct enough to not be …

Chinese film having 100% chinese cast = good. American film having a single white male lead = not good.

Never quite understood why people are so obsessed with meta programming capabilities in a language, be it templates, comptime, macros, whatever. I program mostly in C, if I need 'm…

>One need to write it manually each time in each function where some cleanup is needed. You can structure your code to not need cleanup in every function. The biggest problem with …

One reason is that c++ still hasn't gotten 'trivial relocatability' right - i.e being able to memcpy/memmove and not have to call constructors/destructors when growing your vector …

Yeah I dont think a single current LLM would fool me in a turing test - I would obiously use all kinds of prompt injection techniques, ask about 'dangerous' or controversial topics…

std span is not bounds checked.

Having different types seems wrong to me because endianess issues disappears after serialization, so it would make more sense to slap an annotation on the data field so just the se…

This was an MFC project, so your old standard win32 common controls that looks the same since 98 or so.

Well it's still a 32 bit program so I guess that helps. Would probably require some porting to make it 64 bit native, but as long as you use the WPARAM, INT_PTR typed and what not …

I'm an embedded programmer who occassionally needs to write various windows programs to interface with embedded devices (usually via serial port or usb), and I find it a breeze to …

Not a fan of methods. Why should the first argument be so special? And how do you decide which struct should get method if you have a function that operates on two different types?…

Eventually it wont need to write any code at all. The end goal for AI is "The Final Software" - no more software needs to be written, you just tell the AI what you actually want do…

>Then there's the static initialization order fiasco One of the reasons I hate constructors and destructors. Explicit init()/deinit() functions are much better.

Is it? rust has to ditch llvm to be able to replace c++ - or rewrite llvm in rust.

A good compiler will only do that if the register spilling is more efficient than using more stack varibles, so I don't really see the problem.

Bitwise identical output from a compiler is important for verification to protect against tampering, supply chain attacks, etc.

That's because you need to implement a bunch of gcc-specific behavior that linux relies on. A 100% standards compliant c23 compiler can't compile linux.

My personal threshold for AGI is when an AI can 'sit down' - it doesn't need to have robotic hands, but it needs to only use visual and audio inputs to make its moves - and complet…

For systems programming the correct way is to have explicit annotations so you can tell the compiler things like: void foo(void *a, void *b, int n) { assume_aligned(a, 16); assume_…

This data is publically available to anyone in Sweden: Your salary (well, last years taxable income), debts/credit rating, criminal history, address, phone number, which vehicles a…

You don't have to do int2ptr for mmio or absolute addresses, you can punt that to the linker. extern struct uart UART0; Then place that symbol at address X in your linker script.

>CVE-2025-32463 Looks like a logic bug to me? So rust wouldn't have helped. Those are exactly the kind of bugs you might introduce when you do a rewrite.
