This has been done so many times at this point, shouldn't MBAs have case studies covering the "how companies have rotted from shit decisions made by bean counters" 101 course?

egui and rerun look and work fantastic, one aspect of immediate mode guis I ran into before was missing layout containers, does egui provide those in some manner?

Plenty of monopolies, the iPhone at least to this armchair analyst doesn’t look even close to being one.

While I agree tree-sitter is an amazing tool, writing the grammar out can be incredibly difficult I found. I tried writing out a grammar and highlighting query set for vhdl with tree-sitter, and found that there were a lot of difficulties i

I’ve never understood layout as being secondary. The artwork matters a great deal ensuring the design works and works well.

C++ itself seems to be working pretty hard year after year on this task of killing C++ with endless half baked features that fail to address real problems

Hmm? Cross compiling to docker images is exactly what I used nix for. I even had musl being used, it was the smallest image I could build with any tool and built the images quickly and consistently in ci with caching working well. I never s

Safety as in undefined behavior isn’t in a subset of the language or safety as in memory safety? Because Rust tries to do more than memory safety and it’s quite amazing. Integer overflow isn’t an unheard of problem. The 787 had an integer o

I'm not sure how you can say they aren't alternatives, they directly market themselves as alternatives. The first graphic on the capnproto site compares it to protobufs and was itself created by one of the original protobuf author

Probably some software written in C++ by one of those "I never write bugs" types followed by a hardware watchdog thankfully catching it and rebooting. Maybe its time to rethink software safety and verification there of? Safety in

I mean there's cap'n proto and flatbuffers already? Where's the benchmarks again capnproto in particular?

No need to apologize at all. I haven’t seen these issues. But I’ve worked with this setup without mmu involvement.

I have to say after looking at various DMA hardware I much much prefer the scatter gather list type than the ring type of DMA. The entire need of a bipbuffer allocation for DMA then goes way. You can have a simple pool of fixed sized blocks

I tried to write a vhdl treesitter grammar and I too found it hard. I got something working enough for decent highlights but not a complete grammar by any means.

The Philippines are beautiful, though truly all the small motor vehicles going 15-20MPh everywhere are a bit ridiculous and especially in Manila choke out the air. It's awesome they are building solar. Soon hopefully lots of small elec

I heard for nearly two decades how type safety, const correctness, etc proved to create better programs in C++ than C. Now Rust could be viewed as the next iteration of that and it seems like many C++ developers like to try and paint this p

Corporate america seems to love them, in small biz I never needed such things as we directly worked with customers and knew all the finances. There was a direct personal understanding of what was important and what wasn’t. That’s missing in

Google has been in a decaying orbit for awhile. Plus was dead on arrival. They don’t seem to even be able to steward their money making endeavors that well. Ads are a black hole of money, money goes in and it’s unclear what you get out.

Slow builds are never a joy but.. if you save hours debugging and writing tests for stuff the typesystem and language already check for you, is it worth the trade off in compile time? I found myself saying it was almost every time I used ru

I mean the way rust is written, in a way you don’t need to write nearly as many tests I found so.. in a way I believe this to be true.

Should I use boost style? Qt/Eigen styling? Can I get a subset of the language and stdlib without allocations? Should I use multiple inheritance with I classes or template duck typing? What’s the cycle and storage cost of smart pointer
