I have no linked in and no recent GitHub commits. Who’s hiring ;-)

I too would much rather work in a statically typed language, but sometimes you have to work with what you’ve got. These systems are part of the core banking platform for a bank so I’d rather some initial developer friction over runtime inci

Absolutely the general accepted wisdom in line with best practices - that are often ignored

I enforce strong types on all Python code I’m responsible for - and make sure others don’t play fast and loose with dict[str, Any] when they could use a well defined type. Doing otherwise is just asking for prod incidents.

I've been using Hugo for the best part of a decade and I love it, it's fast reliable and does exactly what I need. Even better, it's a standalone binary.... ...because I'm still on version 0.18.1, and it was easier to ju

I’ve touched on some of c++20, but haven’t used it extensively. Specifically here are areas I haven’t used that appear to have nontrivial amounts of complexity, footguns, syntax and other things to be aware of: * Ranges * Modules * Concepts

There are sane approaches to dealing with this - e.g. epochs. This wasn’t proven by the time c++11 was ready, but for c++20 and beyond it’s a shame they didn’t go with this.

by imron 2y ago
Yeah, the issue is more that the perceived complexity means I’m less interested in investing time to catch it all back up

Depends. For certain fields the pay is great and there’s a dearth of candidates. For other fields there is also a dearth of candidates but the pay falls short and you’ll be leaving tens of thousands of dollars on the table compared to what

I’ve been using c++ since the late 90’s but am not stuck there. I was using c++11 when it was still called c++0x (and even before that when many of the features were developing in boost). I took a break for a few years over c++14, but caugh

I want to love C++. Over my career I’ve written hundreds of thousands of lines of it. But keeping up with it is time consuming and more and more I find myself reaching for other languages.

Nice work OP. I’ve done a fair amount of Chinese language segmentation programming - and yeah it’s not easy, especially as you reach for higher levels of accuracy. You need to put in significant amounts of effort just for less than a few %

Which visual studio are you using? It’s been a number of years since I’ve used it but Visual Studio PRO could do all these things - at least as long as I was using it (since visual c++ 5). VS Code on the other hand is no where near as featu

Yeah it’s far from perfect, but speed is usually not its biggest fault. I’ll still be switching to the astral offering as soon as it’s production ready.

Gdb, lldb or pdb in the terminal. It took a bit of getting used to at first, but then it just becomes normal.

My .exrc file is about 10 lines long and has no plugins. Combined with ctags and a terminal it’s all I need for the languages I’m familiar with (c, c++, rust, python and several others)

More than happy for software authors to draw a line in the sand - I’ve done that myself too. I just find myself on the other side of the line for Alacritty.

Yep. That comment was when I stopped using Alacritty.

I've used it extensively with c++, rust and python, and to a lesser extent with a handful of other languages Non context aware is a problem. For python I had to add `--python-kinds=-i` to `~/.ctags` so that it ignores imports whe
