There are engineers complaining about not enough jobs/getting ghosted by employers, and employers complaining about not enough candidates/getting ghosted by candidates. It's easy to assume that the complaining engineers aren&

The plugin system is a disaster in this project. Basically, each "plugin" is just a Lua script that can (and often does) modify absolutely anything in the editor, including core data structures and other plugins. The original Lite

Say your program requires some static data stored as XML files that link to each other (e.g. XLink), you need to convert them into a different in-memory representation, and then compile them into an object file for embedding into the binary

> Perhaps you shed some light on what the better build systems are? To clarify, I mean "better" for complex tasks. Build systems are just tools like any other, meaning they're good at some things, but bad at others. CMake

by bogwog 4y ago
The ugly syntax is mostly a maintenance issue, but the real problem is that CMake doesn’t expose all of the internal build system “machinery” that you need to build something complex or performant. Take waf for example: it’s effectively a P

If you need custom build functions like that, neither Meson nor CMake are a good choice. If you have complicated build logic, you'd be better off with something more advanced, like scons, waf, bazel, ant, buck, etc.
817.
by bogwog 4y ago
Yeah I don't see the value proposition of Meson to be all that compelling. It's basically just CMake, but with a different DSL. I've never had a problem with modern CMake, and whatever minor productivity benefits there might

While not designed to be a system package manager, Conan works in a very similar way for C/C++ package management, and it's great. All binary packages live in the cache folder, identified by a hash of the particular permutation of

Why would error-handling code impact performance? Besides, exceptions in C++ are known to have negative impacts on overall performance even if you don't use them. (see: https://preshing.com/20110807/the-cost-of-ena

I'm guessing you skipped the intro portion of the OP, since that's not the "gaze" this is about.

This is awesome! I only recently started using Obsidian and have been liking it a lot, especially since there's even a (rough but usable) drawing/sketching plugin so I can kind of get the same experience as I used to have with One

I'd guess that some software is stuck on Power, so a bigger multi-core chip for those cases is probably cheaper than both porting to x86, or buying a higher tier Oracle license.

Damn this is insane. I wonder what other things can be encoded as images and generated with SD?

Nanite gives you high fidelity and Lumen gives you physically accurate lighting, but those things can't replace good art direction.

Typescript is a bandaid. We need improved DOM access for web assembly, followed by a new icon in the URL bar that indicates you're on a "legacy" site if it's using javascript (my vote is for a cute snail emoji)

I don't love the idea of implementing common app state logic via attributes. It probably works a lot better than I'm assuming, but it feels hacky to me. Like it can't solve every problem you'd actually encounter when mak

I wonder if it could help connect open source projects with potential sponsors, including teaching some basic business/sales skills that the average dev probably lacks.

On the one hand, sure, but on the other hand, this was literally a case of fraud. A fraudulent business is going to go out of its way to hide the fact that it's committing fraud.

If I wear that on the side walk, and confuse a self driving car enough that it causes an accident, does that make me an asshole?

Any source on that? I find it hard to believe that something as commonplace as a printer, a technology that has been around for so many decades, is hard to manufacture profitably. Maybe I'm wrong, since I have nothing to go by besides

For the same reason the IP holder is entitled to a monopoly. The free market doesn't work without competition, and since IP law explicitly gives people monopolies, the only balancing force is piracy. People in general don't want t

Until the regulators stop putting pressure on Microsoft, then they’ll start clawing back franchises and making those games Xbox exclusives. Having them on (much more popular) competitor consoles is good for them in the short term because it

Google makes more money than OpenAI, so I wouldn't say that. Also, OpenAI is basically a subsidiary of Microsoft at this point.

Ok I get not wanting to pick on the guy, but is that really reasonable? Engineering is about solving problems by designing/implementing systems. The more you know about the system(s) you're working with, the better the solutions y
