Yes, I agree! However, I think move semantics and standardization of RVO/Copy Elission have been crucial to make value-semantics work at scale.

C++ is vast and diverse, but if you have interest in functional programming you may actually end up enjoying C++, since thanks to it's value types and it's imperfect albeit powerful type system (it's a bit like a compile-time

For another approach: I built a didactic text editor to teach "value oriented design" and immutable data-structures in C++: https://github.com/arximboldi/ewig It's design is covered in these talks: - Pos

Yes, I really like nebenan.de, and I have a monthly donation subscription :)

They could allow you to login without a smartphone using a SMS confirmation code, as many other services do. But I guess they consider dumbphone users with computers too much of a niche.

Yes, same (also in Germany). I survive, can't complain too much, I prefer the advantages of not having a smartphone. But for example my neighbours have organized a WhatsApp group, which is nice, for stuff that goes on in the building

As someone that does not have a smartphone, WhatsApp and Signal are really annoying because they are the two apps that can not be used without one (even though they have desktop apps). Telegram and FB Messenger and Hangouts at least can, bu

Travis "free drugs" mode worked for a while. I got used to it via my open-source projects and ended up having a couple of clients pay for it for some of my commercial work. Since their acquisition they have just been going downhil

That's a tricky question. Large C++ codebases often have a lot of "legacy" that does not necessarily reflect the best practices. A couple of years ago I wrote a text-editor to have a realistic example of what I consider a nic

This is so true. It is always Windows people trying to bend libraries to make them easy to "install" for them. On Unix installing libraries system-wide was never too much of a hassle, and now with Nix you can have reproducible d

Yes, I love Nix. The only caveat is that it does not work on Windows...

Yes! Also the book Elements of Programming by Stepanov has a lot of "value orientation" in it.

Very interesting! In the context of C++ some of us have been calling these programming/design principles "Value Oriented Design". Some talks on the topic: - Most Valuable Values (Juan Pedro Bolívar) https://www.you

Yes! Do you know the tool "git blame"? (You can also use it with "git gui blame", from Github, or from many text editors). It tells you which commit last changed each line of code. Then you can click and see the surroun

This looks pretty cool! I am actually shopping for a GUI framework for a new project and WebAssembly support is a potential critical feature. Does someone know if WebAssembly support is available on the open-source Qt? Also: is it one of t

There is some truth to that. I write a lot of performance intensive interactive software (music software, graphics software), and use C++ for that. However, you can bring a lot of the FP into C++ world, use it when appropriate, and reason

AFAIK std::vector does use memcpy (std::copy as well) when objects are trivially copyable.

Thanks all for taking a look. I would like to thank Prenav for sponsoring the documentation effort and some of the latest developments ( https://www.prenav.com ). Good supporters of open source <3

Can you elaborate on the deep problems? I personally find it relatively conceptually elegant.

Interesting to hear about C++ in this context, since of my goals is to make C++ more like Clojure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPhpelUfu8Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vohGJjGxtJQ There is a lot

I haven't finished the book and I am not sure I will. I was quite disappointed because from the title and description I was expecting something deep, that presented more questions than answers, navigated constraints, attempted to discu

I do not think that women have "the upper hand" or that they have "more power than men", in general nor in particular when it comes to relationships. In particular, what others say here: in spite of these examples, men a

While I agree that the message sounds a bit like that, I think he is right about that point. For me an eye opener was Tinder. Where I live it seems like half of the women have something like "Don't even try if you are less than 1
