Thanks for the link! It was a good read. I also enjoyed the Wikipedia page about the B-29.

Oh, yes, I remember those early times as well. :) The question is whether it's possible to maintain the legacy API and upgrade the internal architecture to use more modern approaches. I think it's almost always possible, but perha

Nice to see that someone is still maintaining the original GTK1 toolkit. It's like the classic Win32 UI API for the Linux/Unix. Linux UI libraries are a constantly moving target and one can be easily more occupied by adapting to t

One important thing to keep in mind when using std::mdspan: There is no stable version of GCC with official support. Not even version 15.2. You need to use the latest trunk. I discovered this after I had already written a significant amount

From the article: The alpha and beta calutron buildings eventually occupied an area greater than 20 football fields, and the entire electromagnetic separation facility grew to 268 buildings, requiring 20,000 workers to build. This was an

I also think this is just a delay, not a final win. Also, this page hasn't been updated yet: < https://fightchatcontrol.eu/ > I recently heard a political discussion about this topic and was disappointed by the lac

The comma is too prevalent in the data to be a suitable separator. A semicolon would be a better choice.

Except that the "comma" was a poor choice for a separator, the CSV is just a plain text that can be trivially parsed from any language or platform. That's its biggest value. There is essentially no format, library, or platfor

The police were correct in claiming that all citizens are unconditionally obligated to obey a police order "in the name of the law," even if they suspect the order is partially or entirely unlawful. Of course, citizens have the ri

This looks really cool. Unfortunately, a sample demo UI page is using 2 cores of my CPU at 100% all the time just by doing nothing. I suppose there are many optimization tricks that can be applied to bring this down significantly.

There is a lot of truth in this, but especially when developers are semi-randomly promoted into leadership roles, they should be given enough time (and mentorship) to learn from their own mistakes. Some will learn very quickly (those with e

I agree. And the insecurity that these managers feel makes them very poor leaders. They tend to be overly subservient to higher-ups and just pass all management decisions down the chain without too much thought. And they like to punish any

Yes, that explains a lot of the complexity. Another reason is type checking/inferring and making the AST detailed enough for code analysis tools, such as code hinting in IDEs.

I had exactly the same feeling as you after reading the article. And interestingly, all production parsers for all major languages are hand-written recursive descent parsers. On the other hand, if you inspect the actual code for these produ
