Just ... write... the function. What is so bad about that? Sure, if you day job is to literally write enums all day then automating that process is worthwhile. But how often do you do this? How much harder is it to just verify the stupid si

Wait a minute...do you think that your feelings, emotions and thoughts are not reality because they are an experience? What is real to you then? Atoms? Your "intuition" about physics or everything else is an experience too. Experi

My running hypothetical scenario is saving acting President of a benevolent superpower vs a baby in a house fire. Saving the baby or "just anyone" is wrong; you should have saved the president instead.

This looks good but will come out horrible in practice: 1. This requires so much thought to implement and I don't think the average UX team can implement it. A half ass implementation of this will probably be worse than a simple page w

You can do it using whatever you want. I hope I don't discourage you from discovering C++. You might enjoy it, you might not, who cares. Go do it and make up your own opinion.

I started writing C++ to do some JSON at work and it is absolutely horrible piece of shit language (even with nlohmann's and simdjson). I cannot believe people live like this. between figuring out CMake scripts, std::optional being bas

Okay, someone tell me why JVM isn't it? Is there something fundamentally flawed in the JVM that can't be fixed?

Don't worry, there's plenty of masochistic C++ enthusiast to keep all these project going.

I am curious how that is useful at all? I imagine prototyping and the set of libraries that you have is quite limited compared to something like Python. You're also limiting yourself to a much smaller pool of developers which have to i

I mean if everyone did drugs but everyone never noticed it then, did they actually use drugs? If there's nothing observable from someone that is supposedly drunk, then who cares?

It's really just an english version of the word "otaku". In the past the word would be "nerd" but for whatever reason the word doesn't capture the same vibe anymore. I personally think its a praise in some circ

Because the name is a technical claim. Is it fast today? Maybe but will it still be considered "blazing" in 20 years? This is equivalent to naming your thing VeryFastMQ. I can already imagine people saying "Oh yea BlazingMQ i

Whenever this kind of opinion props up I wonder how far would you let your child to "fail"? Clearly we need our children to stumble and fail in a low-stake environment before they actually experience them later on in life. This na

What people actually need is a diary. I can easily go through a day's worth of work and not remember what I did for that day, what I wanted to do nor what I was thinking about. TODOs is a weird middle ground where you put some effort b

> C++ promises that you will forever be able to interleave new-style code right into the middle of ancient, battle-tested old-style code. this is a problem, btw AFAIK c++ modernizations are few and rarely successful.

I am not sure if university is an effective place to do this. I think tricking the younger minds at primary/secondary school to be more curious and well-rounded person is much better. Once you get the ball rolling, they will hopefully

Sure its good but its a one off script, so who really cares how fast the startup is? Or how elegant it is? I can literally ask LLMs to write a rough working code in seconds and I only need to fix it up a little bit. There's way more r

HFT provides liquidity and depth to the market tho. It does serve a purpose. How much? Not sure. Does it need to be super duper fast? Not sure. But that is natural in industries like this, because if you don't do it then someone else w
