3, 5 and 6 are up. My copies of 1~4 were stolen. :( https://archive.org/search?query=Dr.+Dobb%27s+Developer+Libr... And the journals: https://archive.org/details/texts?tab=collection&query=Dr.+D...

Interesting - would have thought they all would be uploaded by now. I feel like I bought the set years ago when Dr Dobbs folded but I can't seem to dig them up. However I did find my Verity Stob archive CD :) (which looks like it might already be on the archive - I can't be sure as mine is still sealed in the shipping packaged, never opened it)

A quite memorable article [1] described a “backwards” message-passing technique in C++ using operator overloading so you could do stuff like: obj [1] https://jacobfilipp.com/DrDobbs/articles/DDJ/1996/9608/9608e...

I guess something like https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1642028/what-is-the-oper...

Is there any magazines like this left? When I was a kid, I used to buy these. I didn't even have a computer, I was just enjoying imagining what I could do if I had one. Didn't understand 10% or the content though.

Closest would be the ACCU Overload journal, freely available here [0].

There'a also Visual studio Magazine but it's obviously Microsoft-centric [1].

Also CODE magazine [2] but it's more lightweight, feels more "commercial".

I skimmed the article and haven't gotten out the compiler or source files, but does anyone understand how arg1 and arg2 with space and no operator in between are syntactically valid C++, and what do they do?

I'd recommend Paged Out https://pagedout.institute/ And PoCoGTFO https://alchemistowl.org/pocorgtfo/ These are free modern magazines that capture the feeling of joy of programming that Dobbs and BYTE used to have

I really like Paged Out. It’s got quite a nice amalgam of topics, as well as the SciFi art illustrations.

Don't forget to donate to archive.org while at it. The amount of useful material they have gathered is impressive.

Money is great, and they're also looking for volunteers all the time to help out with Open Library. The website is constantly under attack from DDoS, and we're always improving, but it's a long road. I'm just a volunteer, but a very active one.

I made a good-faith effort at searching the site for anything requesting volunteer work, and came up empty. Got a pointer? What are they looking for?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Working on it, only two more commas to go :) I wonder if r/datahorde folks can be of any help here.

I believe you mean r/datahoarder: https://old.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/ r/datahorde is different, and a ghost town.

yeah, that's the correct sub. Thanks

Paged Out has too much AI related articles.
