I would encourage programmers to learn c++ because it's important, but I'll never lie about what it's like to actually use it

It's been said before that the best human programmers were always bottlenecked by compile test loop time

For context: I have over a decade of professional experience with c++ in large scale software projects and it is by far the language over which I have the most mastery.

I would go far as to say that modern C++ is an Eldritch horror of a programming experience

Right, C doesn't specify an ABI either but (many) OSes do and they provide their ABIs in C so C became the defacto ABI of a given platform.

Given OOP, the only ABI for an object is a vtable and that is left unspecified (for good reason) by the C++ standard. COM said, "objects are cool and modules are cool so we need an…

Isn't this one reason why C is the de facto FFI? OSes happen to use it in their OS ABI and so everything is forced to speak it

C++ famously has no ABI, it is the implementations of C++ that have ABIs. The reason the situation is so bad is that it's considered explicitly out of scope of the language (it tar…

Thank you for this. Anyone with even cursory knowledge of the issue can see that it's propaganda but the way it's presented obfuscates that.

Imo without the sign off from Reckless it's suspicious

I stated what is very obviously an opinion and never claimed to be an authority

The dictionary is an attempt at systematically defining the semantic meaning of language subject to cultural constraints in the same way that a writing system is an attempt at visu…

Hold on, there's strategy being used in the war?

In 1995 it meant that. Today it is meaningless

Wikipedia and dictionaries are wrong. It has a different usage than "underdeveloped" and that usage at best doesn't have a clear meaning, and at worst does have a clear derogatory …

PSA: third world means non-aligned in the cold war. It's use in 2026 is meaningless at best.

The city planning pyramid scheme: buy things you can't afford with bonds so that 20 years later when everyone is done raising their kids and moves out the people who move in have t…

I wonder if they are throwing a public tantrum because GPT said that the were absolutely in the right and that it had the smoking gun to prove it

Please don't do this
