I was talking to someone on Grinder yesterday who made the same mistake. I wonder how common it is to misread "LLVM" as "LLM".

They launch rockets at a scale they are not legally allowed to, adjacent to multiple wild life reserves home to many critically endangered species, and this is not close to the first time they've burned down the wildlife. Turtles and c

I am certain that several years ago, I was given an ad for exactly such a service and even tried it out, but I cannot for the life of me remember its name. It had some cute salad motif, and its users are named "chefs". EDIT: It wa

I read somewhere that if you can read Russian, you could get a license for free (I guess it's generally free now). This is supposedly why many Russian competitive programmers use Far Manager (with some plugins) for editing code. This i

Generators, which already exist in the stdlib, is an example where we can see heap elision being useful, but is currently unreliable in C++. There is a paper "Explicit Coroutine Allocation" that will likely solve this in C++26. Th

It's unfortunately hidden because it has no default keybinding iirc, but I love this feature. I think I discovered it by wondering if it exists, so I searched through the M-x candidates with orderless and typed in terms that I guessed

For me, being able to go straight from a selection in a code file to a log of all changes to that specific code, which I can then filter further, is what gets the strongest reactions from my coworkers.

Do you have any thoughts on how OneAPI compares to the Nsight tools?

Imo, rewriting the code isn't the only prohibitively difficult problem. Replacing the very advanced development tools C++ has seems almost impossible, and so far no competitor to C++ has come very close, and it's a moving target.

At my job, it speeds up clean builds 3x on the CI server, but a portion of those gains are lost to code breaking frequently due to unity.

I work in large C++ codebase for a suite of physics simulation software, and there are like 200 something strongly typed arithmetic units here.

Unfortunately the attributes are not nearly rich enough. There are many proposals for massively increasing the information that you can give C compilers, such as the lifetime safety profile and n3005, but it's a very difficult problem

I feel like these aren't very "hidden", yet any time I talk about these or their developers to my colleagues, nobody knows what I'm on about.

The `[[gnu::optimize()]]` attribute is a fantastic feature that clang really should have some day.

There is ImageMagick, which last I checked (a year ago?) didn't support KTX, but it did have DDS and a lot of other niche image formats.

If you're asking why do coroutines exist, it's because context switching in kernel space and synchronization have very high overhead by comparison. You use those features when you want parallelism, not concurrency. For parallelism

When you have the magit log transient menu open, press `-n` to disable the limit on the number of commits. You can reconfigure this to be the default if you want, or you could extend the default limit beyond 256.

What are you quoting? EDIT: I assume you meant to copy "ìnterops with C++". The answer is that it basically doesn't right now, but they intend for it to in the future somehow. https://accu.org/journals/ov

The tradeoff is C++ is an amazing language for building a type system and zero overhead abstractions, where Rust is extremely limiting in that area (orphan rule, constant evaluating const-generics, no implicit pedagogically equivalent type

#include is a preprocessor directive that substitutes the text of a file in place. import declares that this translation unit should link to a specified module unit. Usually there would only be a single translation unit for the entire progr
