I think the parent's point is that we started with raw pointers to implement PIMPL, then we had std::unique_ptr, and now we have std::indirect. So there are now three different way…

It's often used in libraries where you need to guarantee ABI compatibility. Fixing a bug or implementing a feature may require adding a new member into the class, which would chang…

I sometimes wonder how these systems are being tested on the road and whether there's any feedback from the test drivers, or what kind of morons are there saying "this is completel…

I learned HTML thanks to Operation Flashpoint so that I could write mission briefings in the editor...one thing led to another, and I have a successful career as a software develop…

For me (as an EU citizen), sovereignty is about being independent of companies operating under law that I have no control of (can't vote in the US) and is veeery unpredictible (Tru…

One thing I haven't seen mentioned here yet and really like about OpenRouter is their openrouter "meta" model, that automatically routes the prompt to an appropriately capable mode…

Maybe I'm missing something, but how would GTA6 source leak really harm Rockstar? I mean it's unlikely it would be possible to compile a full working game from the leak, and even i…

Just yesterday I used Jellyfin2Samsung to install Moonlight on my TV. After the installation, the app shown a popup to donate to the author ("buy me a beer"). And I figured why not…

I used to have a git post-checkout hook that set the repo identity based on the repo origin url [0] on checkout - maybe there's some post-clone hook these days, but 10 years ago wh…

Well, there's a SELinux coloring book - you need to start with SELinux while they are still young! https://people.redhat.com/duffy/selinux/selinux-coloring-boo...

Happened on the first day of my first on-call rotation - a cert for one of the key services expired. Autorenew failed, because one of the subdomains on the cert no longer resolved.…

I believe every sensible open-source developer strives to keep their software performant. To me, a performance regression is a bug like any other and I got and fix it. Sure, there'…

The question is, does Mozilla rigorously review every single update of every featured extension? Or did they just vet it once, and a malicious developer may now introduce data coll…

I always enjoyed being a metal head, the music is the main reason of course (I like it), but the community is a very big aspect of it too. I always thought about metal shows and fe…

But that's extra time when the ship is sitting idle, while it could've already been on its way with new cargo, making more money.

It's not that long ago that tables were the only reliable layout tool for HTML emails (mostly due to Outlook supporting only very limited subset of CSS).

I would guess this is just to make the explanation of the bug easier. In real world, the futurelock could occur even with very short locks, it just wouldn't be so deterministic. Ha…

I was involved in porting some software to Qt back when Photon was deprecated, and I always found the system very interesting. This is the first time I'm actually learning more abo…

It's more about having the LLM give you a plan of what it wants to do and how it wants to do it, rather rhan code. Then you can mold the plan to fit what you really want. Then you …

This is my gripe with C++ - I have to have a CI pipeline that runs a job with clang-tidy (which is slow), jobs with asan, memsan and tsan, each running the entire test-suite, and i…

The problem I found about the adaptors is that you can't charge your phone and listen to music at the same time. I have an older car with an old stereo where the only external inpu…

The one thing that sold me on Rust (going from C++) was that there is a single way errors are propagated: the Result type. No need to bother with exceptions, functions returning bo…

With pi-hole, you can also block telemetry from smart devices (TVs, dish washers and stuff), and if you run it on a VPN that your phone is connected to, you can also block ads and …

Amazing, now could I just get a way to do asynchronous network requests in two lines of code, like I have with other languages? Honestly, it seems to me like the committee is const…
