I feel OP's definition needs to be narrowed down a bit. Debating climate change with someone that denies it is not a matter of opinion. Accepting that the sky is blue doesn't mean that I jumped into the other person's frame o

Not sure what the author is talking about. I've been purchasing epub books exclusively since 2014. It's the format that unlocked me to start reading books on devices. Prior to using epub format, I've tried on numerous occasio

Getting used to a new style is like wearing new shoes. It takes a day or two to break in, before it feels natural. Most arguments can be translated to "because I like it this way".

huh, they invented a new virtual vocabulary here and beat around the bushes to avoid saying coroutines. Sarcasm aside, it's probably to steer away from kotlin and make it easier for users when seeking help/docs online.

perf-report's slowness is very frustrating. This slowness started around 2017 or so. However, you can get around it by passing --no-inline and the graphs will be exactly the same.

If there is anything ugly here, it's your communication. Aside from the fact that OP's example can run in a non-interactive mode, it makes absolutely no difference to the discussion.

right time and right place is always a major factor. However, we are always in the right time and right place for a breakthrough. But it's unfair to not give credit to those that saw the opportunity, believed in it, and made it happen.

being smart doesn't eliminate the possibility of making mistakes. Are you expecting that a smart human being isn't going to make mistakes? Go through the revision history and see how many bugs got fixed.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with using memset. I don't understand why you would suggest such a ban. If your goal is to scrub a memory region after you're completely done using it then you shouldn't use memset. Compi

volatile is a type qualifier and can be casted. However, memset's declaration takes a void* which prevents you from passing a volatile void*. casting or not won't change anything in this case because what matters is what memset ta

Your definition of what's considered common sense is based on your sole understanding of computers. It's more like your intuition. Just because you don't understand something fully doesn't mean it's not common sense

memset is not a special case. Compiler designers are very much against special casing, and rightfully so. Compilers do have an intrinsic equivalent but that has nothing to do with whether it gets optimized out or kept. Following SSA rules,

Compilers are sane and written by very smart people. They do have bugs just like any other software. In my 20+ yrs of coding, I can count the number of bugs I've encountered on one hand. memset tend to be optimized out in the dead code

Given the recent trend initiated by cloud providers offering cheaper and almost equally performant arm based alternatives, I predict that arm and hopefully risc-v will be the popular choice in ~3 years. As for the consumer vertical, samsung

I feel that if the author took the time to learn the problem domain well and why conan & vcpkg happen to exist, then this article wouldn't have been written. It's not like people that started conan/vcpkg didn't know

if you aren't challenging yourself (mentally) there is not much you can do to improve. I recommend diving deep into problems that interest you, noodle on them until you fully understand the problem or start coming up with solutions. Th
