Where can I find the visualization? Skipping through I could not find it and I am not sold on it enough to spend almost 4 hours on this.

This is a nifty little gadget, not a production level feature. C++ lacks a lot of things, but it's objectively cool that you can hack some of them yourself (like kwargs). No one should use this in important code. This is just fun.

I have income and I have costs. Why is my income not completely offset by my costs? I'd love to spend more money to pay fewer taxes. My labor is turned into profits for my employer and similarly their profit is eventually taxed. In tha

I think Zed is very close to being amazing, but it might be premature. Just recently I think they fixed a bug where undo broke somehow when you pasted something? I could never quite reproduce it, but I ran into it a couple times a week. You

Multiplayer game development just stinks. It's not because of the networking and the tricky bugs and cumbersome testing setups (fake latency, packet loss, a bunch of open game clients) if you like these sorts of things (though of cours

I think putting off polish for later as the OP and multiple comments here recommend is a fallacy. There are many popular, successful games that would just not be fun if they didn't have good animations, no effects and everything was

I have very similar, strong opinions about game engines and I think this is a great project. I am definitely going to mess around with this after work today.

Currently a lot of my work consists of looking at large, (to me) unknown code bases and figuring out how certain things work. I think LLMs are currently very bad at this and it is my understanding that there are problems in increasing conte

I may sound very arrogant and I am, but I am shocked how clueless one can be about themselves and what they want, while still being clearly very competent and intelligent. When you have no job and "infinite" money (for most purpos

A tomorrow like that will probably exist, but I think many people also expect a tomorrow to exist where people have no electricity at all and no memory of ever living in a world with something like the internet. It's especially those p

I think at least part of it is that there are so many solutions for Python packaging, which are often intermixed or only half-supported by developers. It's a tough ask to provide dedicated support for pip, conda, poetry and what else i

I am not an expert, but I would expect on the order of thousands of years, stuff moves around and you will likely not keep the distribution you created in the first place. And it needs to be kind of close for anyone to notice at all, which

I love Ted Chiang's work dearly, so I am excited to have a look at Anvil's work as well. Can you recommend something specific?

You mention a really interesting point. My heart also sinks in my stomach whenever I see "X announces Y" and X is in a set of names such as "Electronic Arts", "Activision", and many more. I really wonder if the

I use multiple cursors all the time and rarely use the mouse to create them. Either it's "Add cursor to line ends" (VSCode)/"Split into lines"(Sublime) or just Ctrl+D.

I use multiple cursors multiple times per hour when programming. I do not like vim and I don't use regex. And I am convinced I am faster this way than I could ever be using vim or regex for common editing operations. They are ubiquitou

Frankly the C++ version is lacking whitespace and is shorter than it needs to be and as someone who uses C++ daily and has used simdjson before it is still much easier to read than the Rust version. Have you considered that this is somewhat

Coroutines themselves are a really simple concept. But in practice they give you all the headaches async stuff generally gives you. And in C++ there is a ton of extra complication, especially because there is no support library. I wrote t

I feel like actually good indie games have a much better chance, because from all I have heard the Steam algorithm actually wants to make money. It will show the game to a bunch of people regardless of the number of wishlists and if it do

Concepts are well supported and have been for a while and they are so great. Those alone make C++20 worth it. But Coroutines also make it worth it, if you build software that can use them well. Designated initializers change how I write cod
