Even if they still have gas as a backup for use when there is neither wind nor sun, isn't that still better than using gas all of the time?

Anyone working on even a medium sized C++ project needs a very high end machine in order to compile. For large projects, 32 core work stations aren't crazy at all. Try building something like Firefox or Chromium on a quad core and you

I think maybe you're paying too much heed to what you see in concentrated and very self selecting online communities. A lot of professional C++ programmers are more focussed on particular industries, and the domain problems to solve an

I'm not sure about that. I've spent 18 years programming in C++, for much of that time in a senior professional capacity and am excited to learn Rust for whatever my next project will be. Most of my colleagues and peers feel the s

And even if you fabricate your own hardware, you're still trusting the open source designs you download from the internet. Being able to audit them is much better than not being able to see them, but it's still very possible to ha

Yes, but Apple also used their financial muscle to secure all of the 5nm capacity from TSMC. We're not comparing apples with apples here.

Yeah, this is what is jumping out at me. Not that the M1 isnt extremely impressive but a near future 5nm AMD will be a better "apples to apples" comparison. Intel is being left in the dust though.

C++ error messages have been gradually improving over time. Clang really raised the bar when it came along, and the other two compilers have been catching up. Concepts in C++20 will really help to further improve things for template errors.

The database key should be generated per encrypted database and then stored using something like the OSX keychain. The OS enforces that only a given application can retrieve that key (via application code signing).

I heard the exact same from a shark expert in the Great Barrier Reef. Rather than using a cage or anything we'd normally associate with shark diving, he puts a set of googly eyes on the back of his head and had been safely shark diving

On the flip side, it seems to me like having all of this friction may lose many folks early on. I absolutely agree that debugging and problem solving are core skills to master and fundamental for any programmer. As is understanding the syst

Right - this is just a way of helping to prioritizing who gets tested. Given that testing kits will always be a limited resource (you can't simply test everyone, everyday) it makes a lot of sense to find sub-populations who are more li

It uses CURL on Android.

There is, but it's Java - they would have to write JNI. I don't think there's anything wrong with using CURL. Should probably be a bit careful about calling it "native" though. I just don't really see the point

Edit: Sorry, I misread your post. To add, cpprestsdk has 2 impls for Windows - one based on top of WinHTTP and the other based on WinRT APIs. On UWP, cpprestsdk uses the WinRT APIs and by extension so does NFHTTP.

by deeringc 8y ago
I agree in general that using native HTTP stacks is a good idea for all sorts of reasons, but it's worth calling out that NFHTTP is actually using CURL under the hood on Linux & Android platforms so this just ultimately wraps the C

by deeringc 8y ago
This interested me too so I looked through the source to find out. NFHTTP seems to add 2 clients of its own, one that uses NSURL (for Apple) and another that uses CURL (for Linux). Everything else (WinHTTP, UWP, and the fallback Boost Asio

Probably one of the best C++ libraries out there. Can't recommend this highly enough.

This library seems to add a HTTP client impl built on top of NSURL, and another on top of CURL. It looks to me like everything else here is provided by Microsoft's CPPRestSDK - WinHTTP, UWP & Boost Asio based clients simply use the

The author was comparing REST to json-rpc. Nowhere in the article does he propose that people use SOA or CORBA.
