one topic not mentioned is creating refactoring tools. My sense is that LSPs generally have the advantage here because they have the full parsed tree, but I suspect it would be pos…

agree - what's more, the author is really talking about blaze, where everything "just works" because there are massive dedicated resources maintaining it. He literally admits that …

yes - I use coc + clangd and there is no comparison with cscope. The level of accuracy you get with clangd is significantly better than tags/cscope. The main thing you need to make…

it's also generally preferred because it can avoid certain narrowing conversions in construction: https://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/CppCoreGuidelines...

as to how clangd sees your current translation unit, it comes down to the compile_commands.json (which is per-TU settings) or the more general compile settings in the config file(s…

..yes - in particular, boost::asio which will provide a sensible transition to std::net (networking TS) when it's available.

I think visit is what you want ( http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/variant/visit ), unless I misunderstand what you mean by "pattern match"

> Successful remote workers are disciplined and self-motivated. No boss is eyeing them from across the office to see whether they’re working. They alone are responsible for structu…

> I say let people work from home but make sure they have the option of an office. ...or provide a stipend to be used to help pay for local co-working spaces, if that's your prefer…

I studied to be an S.E. for 7 years (undergrad/grad) and practiced for a little over a year before I gave it up for software. First, the pay was atrociously bad given they years of…

Luthiery specifically for me - it's a hobby currently and the thing I think about the most when I'm programming. The tooling and jig making aspect of woodworking is also very satis…

On the other hand, strawberry perl ( http://strawberryperl.com/ ) for windows solved this by simply including a free toolchain (gcc). The gcc compiler for windows is hardly typical…

looks interesting, but I'd rather have a tool that exposes a data API so that it can be plugged into vim/emacs

it's the false positives that worry me more - that is, the well-practiced whiteboard coder who cannot actually design a maintainable system or the sociopath or brilliant jerk who n…

Classless and unprofessional in all respects. We can all learn by their example how not to treat candidates.

I worked on a large to-UNIX migration using Mainsoft long ago. It was amazing how complete their win32 solution was, but it all felt so wrong. Using cross platform libraries from t…

Here are some of my reasons for running tmux inside of iTerm: * easy layout of panes (windows) in fullscreen mode. I have tmux macros setup to quickly get different pane layouts --…

most of this is stuff Herb (and others) has been promoting for years...and It's great to see it codified in one place.

you can try looking at: https://www.reddit.com/r/somebodycodethis/ https://www.reddit.com/r/SomebodyMakeThis/ ...who knows, you might find something interesting to spark your imagi…

This sounds like a brilliant idea. I hope that you are also including homework assignments that cover (1) communication skills (especially WRITTEN communication) and (2) personalit…

YouCompleteMe ( https://valloric.github.io/YouCompleteMe/ ) is a code completion engine built on libclang and works quite well. If you happen to use cmake for your projects and tel…

a good point - which I why I will be sticking with CMake for my cross-platform build needs.

I've worked in a bunch of these kinds of spaces - all utterly distracting. Turns out I'm more productive in my own quiet space at home. If you are doing this to your workers, give …
