It's 8mb dll when compiled fully as dll(s). Check the https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp as they've recently added dll support, and I've been keeping a branch that's geared towards

It's impossible to have large team at a company working without a small set of IDEs. Just the sheer amount of explanation/teaching one has to do to any new to the team is going to overwhelm them. We can't expect people to be

lol, next time I decide to back-quote C - I'll do it this way - hehehe

by malkia 3y ago
Ugh - sorry this quoting must be my own thing - I don't know why I keep quoting btw, and unfortunately can't tell if anyone else does it (you mentioned people, but you might've just wanted to be polite to me - hehe). I'l

Most of the demo coders that I followed (I wanted to become one, but never did anything significant there), and demo docs were done using Pascal. Eastern europeans (like myself) seemed to prefer it more for some reasons. TSR applications wh

I was just thinking how the ideas behind Turbo/Borland Pascal and Delphi reminded me of Go, I know it should've been Dotnet, but Dotnet got complicated right from the start with it's deployment model (lots of dlls, assemblies

I started with Turbo Pascal 3, Moved to 4, 4.5, 5, 6 then Delphi. Somewhere in there moved to "C" and then "C++". Couple of observations: - Using C (Borland or Microsoft) required two floppy disks - one for the com

"I feel that RPC mechanisms that are too closely tied to a given language are a waste of time" - THIS RIGHT HERE! - The whole point is to allow people using different languages to collaborate - your analysts using python/R sh

This would work only if the language is suitable to do so (lisp, smalltalk comes to mind, but even there - having a comment can screw things up)

But you can't implement std::string with pimpl (and the small-string optimization), but I agree though - I wish there was a way somehow (?)

On windows you can do this with RESERVE, e.g. MEM_RESERVE from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/memoryap... - For example when you have a callstack (on Windows), it can reserve (say) 1

Something that I need to remind myself often about why is that so: "In particular, the language forbids a “small vector optimization” analogous to the small string optimization (which we’ll see soon), because the standard requires that

Oh, please let's not this go into another "compile time" flag, because I've seen enough where this goes. Unless you are doing strictly embedded, or whatever clearance software, you don't need this "compile time

I disagree, lmdb is exactly what you need to run exactly where you want. No more, no less.

On Apple ][ (/e, /c, etc.) there was some non-standard DOS version (I don't think it was ProDOS, but something else) that was first geared towards using the 80 column mode (PR#3), but then it had the notion of directories....

I have only one real complaint: - I can't find any newer chromebook laptop with 32GB of RAM (or even 16GB, apart from mine). Feel like 32GB is going to make it a lot better to use for development.

Same here, I'm happy Google Eve user since 2017 or was it 2018. The little beast has 16GB of RAM, and initially I was using crouton, but one crostini got better I switched to it. There are little things that are missing: - No idea how

It depends. I've seen it at Google - in bigtable, megastore and spanner - there are quirks - for example you (may) need a registry with all proto(s) the db may contain. In our case (Ads team), any other team using us could've plac

Good point on this too, he must've told me about it too. Now my son knows (from him again).
