tl;dr this article has no Native American weaponry review nor far-Eastern bear-hate listicles, meh

I know you were probably just throwing out the “90%” statistic, but if you take that as a given, the implication that 10% of the libstdc++ bugs on file are legit is a worrisome not…

Do not use magic. — Strongly agree. Do not use macros. — Absolutely I agree: I involuntarily grimace whenever I look at and/or things like Boost MPL, or the wartier corners of the …

Separation of concerns, fungibility, limited exposure, a lower bar on future legal entanglements … I could go on

I haven’t got a ton of experience in this arena, but what I have done in the past is: 1) incorporate the larger venture as an LLC (“My Company, LLC”); 2) incorporate the specific p…

The hazy miasma visions of a perfect past can legitimatize themselves, in some, with far far less than 10 to 20 years. Some can do it in a span of weeks – q.v. “Where I Was From,” …

Yes, there is a Zen state of C++ programming wherein you, the programmer, surrender to the wisdom of the compiler, and in doing so are liberated from caring about the minutiae of t…

Good start but -- some C++ stuff is wrong, e.g. in the bit on friend functions, a member function prototype is written with an empty block instead of a terminal ";". Subtle, but yo…

Wow this takes me back – 2007, those were the days. Back before so many flagship projects had frankensteined libLLVM into their innards; before every single JavaScript framework wa…

… also one of the forthcoming Clang projects is a static-analysis tool (á la `clang-format`) for replacing any `auto` decls with the actual typename, so you can write lazy code wit…

These are good rules – as in liquor advertisements, it’s advisable to always accompany a declaration that uses `auto` with a rejoinder in the comments to Please Enjoy Responsibly

“A Variadic Template A Day Keeps The Job Security In Play”

OP I believe you meant to say “q.v.” instead of “e.g.”

I am really into C++ but it has the same problem that Perl has – it does not try to stop anyone from using it to express themselves in an ugly or inscrutable fashion – and this is …

Naturally, this articles’ photo of the mud-slaked Rubenesque woman was the image on my screen when my new co-worker dropped in on me… calling this piece NSFW feels a bit prudish bu…

q.v. The Manifesto of the Futurist Programmers , 1991 (linked) – based on the Futurist Manifesto, signatories include one Milanese painter, and 5 noteworthy denizens of Silicon Val…

This is indeed a great intro article. For those interested in seeing examples of LLVM hacking in action, I would recommend reading the source for Halide – https://github.com/halide…

holler ("Preposterous fd value %d", fd); (I just had to debug a descriptor mess and this style of freewheeling 90’s-style documentation rejuvenated me w/r/t all of that, hah)

By “goads” do you mean “gods” (in, like, the Battlestar Galactica sense) or is that supposed to be “gonads”, as in junk? Just askin.

This is pretty awesome – I’m writing a Python extension in C++ that piggybacks on top of NumPy dtype codes, and I thought that I could “just” use templates to deal with dynamic typ…

Python's API structure may be fast and loose, but that is a feature, I think. Its type system may have some threadbare implementation spots – the _sre example from the standard lib…

Plenty – as I recall, the Glock was invented (in the garage, no less) by a guy whose passion for shooting things was on par with the iron-fisted cleverness of Woz and Jobs. Things …
