Late reply, I know, but I would highly recommend skimming through “Embedded Software Development for Safety-Critical Systems” by Chris Hobbs. I think it does a good job at getting people thinking about how they can start adopting a safety m

Rude to who exactly? OP criticized the landing page for a) omitting the fact that ~85% of desktop computer users can’t use Zed, and b) alluding to this not being the case with language about working anywhere. This isn’t an attack on the aut

Really cool experience! :) Having been cheerfully awarded the sleuth-o-matic rank of Barely Conscious (the murderer was was clear, the precise weapon+time wasn’t) I was wondering: is the mystery generator implemented in such a way that ther

My understanding was that until next year when EU+UK legislation regulating digital marketplaces comes further into force, all of these iOS apps for browsers like Chrome, Firefox, etc. MUST be wrappers around the exact same Webkit rendering

I wasn’t sure how to articulate this exact thought, but I wholeheartedly feel the same. Some of the quote characters (' vs ` for example) have been problematic for me in the past too, and even though more common special characters like

I think the references to this being a “tool” that you can “self-host if you want” are a little disingenuous, especially after seeing that the linked GitHub project doesn’t mention the fact that it’s just a thin wrapper client making reques

YMMV, but I’ve found that interacting with Claude conversationally gives me a much stronger impression of having a productive discussion with an individual, receiving pushback on ideas that had identifiable flaws and giving advice on how to

Nitpick: it’s not accurate to say that a hypervisor, by definition, runs right on the hardware. Xen (as a type-1 hypervisor) has this property; KVM (as a type-2 hypervisor) does not. It’s important to remember that the single core responsib

Looping is already totally doable, up to a finite maximum number of iterations. Local variables and the like can be simulated through suitably clever preprocessor definitions and logic, too. The syntax and trickery you need to take advantag

People often voice concerns over the type-safety or performance or flexibility of the preprocessor, arguing that since those all leave something to be desired, the preprocessor should be replaced. I’d like to make a few comments on those po

Absolutely. The thing you need to be asking for is a hobbyist license, which might not always be advertised but is very much a thing!

This looks like a cool project! I really like the extensions they’ve implemented for things like recursive macros, certainly an interesting space to experiment in. It isn’t quite as standard-compliant as advertised though, for anyone who mi

They just don’t get it. This isn’t a replacement for the SE, because it doesn’t actually improve on the things SE owners cared about improving. Things like an edge-to-edge screen and a kick-ass camera in the same form factor, not an iPhone

I’m sure a lot of people have their opinions about what the best introductory lisp text is. I won’t add to that list since a google search will give results from reviewers far more eloquent than I am. What I would like to suggest is that on

Not disagreeing with your point about STL classes having a tendency to make egregious allocations (heck, a lot of them are fundamentally designed around using allocators for pretty much everything), but the fact that they’re often complicat

Being able to read and write code (even in multiple languages!) is one thing, but I'd argue that the real tipping point between a junior developer and any of the multitude of roles past that point is their understanding of the processe

You’re ignoring the point of AOP. If writing Hello world is a cross-cutting concern as its placement in an aspect would seem to imply, then what are the core concerns of the solution? How do those core concerns differ from those that cross-

First off, thank you for the informative reply. I’ll be sure to poke around and see if there are any groups around here that fit the bill! Answering your question, I’d say that Java, C#, and C++ are my strongest languages (by virtue of me h

I’ve only looked at the first few reponses you received so far, but what I did see looked very insightful. I’ll be sure to look over the rest of it when I have time, and I really appreciate your help, especially since it looks like we were

Sadly enough (for both of us!) I can’t say that it does. I’ve been working with every JVM and CLR language I could get my hands on, with a healthy dose of C/C++, Rust, and Python on the side. I’ve worked on a few small projects in vani

That’s actually an interesting point you make there. I’m tentative to make an upfront declaration along the lines of “I’m a backend developer” since I really do want to cultivate as broad of a skillset as I can reasonably support, especiall
