This is because the russian central bank is buying rubels for dollar and other currencies. European Union tries to prevent that by freezing the foreign reserves. We will see how this will play out and when and if they burn throu their pile

The only person that I trust to understand async/await is Stephen Cleary. He has a blog and written a book. Maybe try that. Official MSFT documentation became hand-waving or non-existent very quickly, back when i tried. Back then plent

Oh yes. I hate async/await so much. If I could uninvent one thing in programming it would be async/await. I wrote async/await code in C# for about a year. I did really try to learn it. I invested a lot of time. I did read Ste

It totally is, as long as you don't use C instead. There are plenty of good, less complex languages than C++ out there: Java is quite close and way, way less complex, for example. But C is non of them. Pointers are more complex in C th

I absolutely disagree. But we had this debate over and over and over again. It would be great if you could stop rehashing is debate once more. I some twist of irony, this comment is against the HN TOS. So please stop.

>"Waste". The parent's point is who are you to say? You didn't read or you didn't understand what I said. It's waste because it's designed to create a scarcity. Not by the judgement of anyone of the use

No, that's not moving goalposts. If Bitcoin miners waste renewable energy, the users of energy in general move to renewable later. If everybody is using renewable energy exclusivity for everything, is still wastage. PoW only work by ad

When CoffeeScript came out, i thought the course of action was obvious: Never update the JavaScript language again, and update CoffeeScript and similar languages. Just for the sake that javascript will have to be backward-compatible for eve

With package manager I mean nuget. The last time I used .net (one year ago) ".Net core" was a target platform and already renamed to ".Net". No, that's not a preference. I'm not complaining about a lack of opti

N ways to do something, but in exchange you can get good solutions in C++. In the C# world you are locked to a medicore compiler, with a medicore package manager, a sub standard (and complicated!) build system and a unacceptable code format

It's a way to express your opinion. Quite a lot of stuff on devlids.com is political. Like a bumper sticker or a t shirt. Althoug it probably is a "everybody posts, nobody reads" situation.

Ok, this is mindblowing for me. When I think of a tiger I have some kind of visual sensation, but it's extremely low on information. Like maybe 12x12 or 16x16 pixels. But not sharp pixels, but fuzzy, colored shapes, or very, very simpl

First of all, no private organisation can "recognize" a state. That is a privilege for states. Private organisations can only boycott (non-)states by not doing any business with said (non-)citizens. Why in the world Wikimedia do t

The only truly green energy is the energy you don't use. All electric is dirty to some degree. Hyrdo is cleaner than almost anything else, but not a clean as not using it at all. On top of that "clean" is not a very well def

But it's mostly true. Trust the compiler. They are very, very good. They have a better understanding of the performance characteristics of the current platform with the current code than the programmer. Another benefit is you do not ne

If Niels Furgerson does not qualify as "smart" for programming I don't and I don't think i have ever met anyone who does.

I'm confused. Is the memset to the temporary volatile void* observable or not, and is the temporary possibly eliminated?
