You're probably thinking of "Performance Matters" by Emery Berger, a Strange Loops talk. https://youtube.com/watch?v=r-TLSBdHe1A

Feels strange to have posted exactly the same thing and gotten exactly zero traction. Really glad this event exists. I didn't know about it ahead of time, so some amount of Marketing sounds sensible.

This is bizarre, wasn't Google the one who claimed the name and did it first?

Huh. Swiss tables have been available in Abseil for a long time, what took them so long?

Have you read the section of the article addressing this concern?

Thank you r/cpp Reddit moderators for doing your part in keeping users safe.

I can live with that, I think. I'd like to believe that all of the points are relevant. The issue is that I had to cram them all in somehow, without making the article excessively long. I'm open to criticism, though!

Thanks! Huge fan of your blog. :)

Should a modern language support member access operators? Probably not, honestly. Is it really impressive that Carbon found an abstraction to support it that neatly fits into a Rust-like trait system and generalizes all sorts of things? Y

Yup! I didn't work this into the post, but this is in fact exactly (more or less) the goal. Chandler even explicitly says "Maybe we can eventually convert some future version of Carbon to Rust, who knows." Whether that is goi

Thanks a lot! When writing something like this it can be hard to keep in mind what your average reader is familiar with. "Do I need to get into the history and the structural process of the C++ Standard Committee? I'm sure everyon

Meh. There's only so many good names out there. When there's little risk of confusion it's usually fine. When something has been deprecated (like Carbon API which I didn't even know about) then it's imo completely f

There is a post on r/cpp: https://www.reddit.com/r/cpp/comments/1ikq8kh/carbon_is_not_... For now, anyway. Let's see how long it survives. (+1 to being excited for Carbon. That shouldn't b

Oh hey, that's my post. HI HACKER NEWS! Excited to see you!!! Ping me if you find typos. (Also jeez, writing this took way too long and I spent too much time editing it trying to cram everything from Cpp2, the Google governance issue,

Is this supposed to be better than python? "Every string is an f-string, make sure you don't accidentally miss some interpolation." sounds like a step down, not like an improvement to me!

I don't think Chain of Thought in itself was a particularly big deal, honestly. It always seemed like the most obvious way to make AI "work". Just give it some time to think to itself, and then summarize and conclude based on

There are a whole lot of attempts of "Our own Nix, with blackjack and hookers" and so far none of them have any traction. (Not counting Guix here.) I don't think any of them are trying to make huge changes to the language its

I wonder, did Google or Microsoft (via Github Copilot) release anything like this yet? I'd not be surprised if all of them are currently working on something in this direction. "Agents", or something like that.

If you're using ChatGPT actively, then surely you have heard of Gemini and Grok (no clue of how far Grok gets you nowadays, but Gemini should. Not sure how good the voice interface is).

This isn't really what an "everything app" is. WhatsApp is a chat app (+ some barebones community stuff, which Telegram and Discord also have). To be an everything app, it needs to have, at the very least, a built-in payment

I find `foo.iter().map(|x| x.bar()).collect()` almost always easier to read and better at expressing intent than a for loop. The other direction is more interesting to me: Those are the awkward cases where people sometimes overdo it with th

Woah, my post made it to the front page and I'm late. Hi! In hindsight I would've probably written a few things differently, but I really didn't want to fall into a trap of getting stuck editing.
