I think there's an implication here of "less likely to be broken by public research".

The Barracuda Pro 10TB is reportedly pretty quiet. I'd hope so, as I've got one coming in.

imperium.news As explained elsewhere, don't expect to find 100% objective reporting anywhere.

imperium.news and /r/eve The metagame of Eve is such that you can't really find objective reporting, though. It extends far beyond the game.

Font rendering on MacOS is native in Sublime instead of the fake blurry stuff you get with Electron. Wheee, I'm not the only one bothered by this! It's bad on Windows too, though Linux is fine. It affects all Electron based prog

Well, offering a repo is yet another step further than just putting a .deb on the website.

Added support for AMD Lightweight Profiling (LWP) instructions. Funnily enough, AMD already deprecated those. They're not in Zen.

I'm pretty sure that's intentional friction (having to prove what you're doing is safe).

Given an experienced programmer in all those languages that OP mentioned, I would expect the C++ version to perform faster. I didn't put much qualification because I don't think it needed it. Remember that the original question wa

I do get it's easier. I use std::unique_ptr when interfacing with legacy code because I like that I need an explicit .release() to relinquish ownership. It's self-documenting. But I was considering modern C++ compared to, for ex

Sure, but we have generators now that are both faster and better, so there's no point in using the standard ones, aside for convenience.

OpenMP, for one. They at least used to strip thread_local too.

C++ still produces the fastest and most memory efficient programs.

by gcp 9y ago
Other than out of bounds memory accesses and legacy code I feel there is not much that can go wrong. If only we could stop at single-threaded applications :-) I'm not convinced modern C++ stops all issues with pointers/iterators

There's some funny ones there. std::random_shuffle because it relies on rand() which may be bad, but ironically most (all?) the rng's that are in the standard library would be considered "bad" by modern standards.

1) As the person who has to drive the result through standards committees, he has to consider how it will be perceived. 2) Again, what has it got to do with Rust?!

Every Chrome derived application, including everything Electron, has substantially degraded font rendering compared to native apps on Windows. Just load the same text with the same fonts and look side by side. Best way to describe it would

Unlike docs those conferences are totally optional when using the language. Which is why I asked for doc examples specifically, as that was OP's claim.
