c++ isn't memory safe and will probably never be. that being said, it's not more or less possible to create an efficient browser engine for multicore systems with c++ than any other language. programming language is not the thing

Let it burn. > If the summer blockbuster season is ever to recover, it's going to require some blue-sky thinking. Yeah, revolutionary thinking like: stop producing recycled content slop, lower the budgets, make original films not ba

No it does not. You can absolutely add copy and move ctors without function overloading.

I'd be very surprised if they were actually using geometry shaders (at least this conclusion can't be drawn from their post). Geom shaders are basically dead weight, a holdover from a bygone time, and are better avoided for modern

they're not. they're saying "if we had constructors in c, we'd need a mechanism to allow multiple constructors for the same type". in c++ function overloading and mangling are used to get that, but it's far fro

I respect Jean-Heyd very much, but I'm unconvinced by this article. First, the whole name mangling discussion is completely irrelevant to the issue and can be omitted. Second, one could tack on both copy and move constructors on to C

I'm calling eBPF "kernel shaders" to confuse graphics, os and gpgpu people all at the same time.

while i agree with the spirit of the title, i find the specific conclusions dubious and the arguments presented unconvincing. if touch ui wasn't more convenient for _everybody_, it would remain a weird niche use case. so it's stil

and to answer your other questions - Java and Python both have what I consider good, detailed specifications (which one could call "standards").

a "language standard" is something i can use to hold implementation developers accountable. it doesn't matter if it's an actual international standard, or just a document on the internet. I want a dry, exhaustive and sys

while i agree with your sentiment, hk is not "another country" by any stretch.

medium isn't amazing - it's probably one of the _worst_ ways of putting writing on the web. pastebin is better than medium.

considering that they use qt as (one of) their backends, why would i use this over qt?

what i hear you saying is "maybe we'd be stuck with half-assed shitty map software, half-assed shitty browsers, and half-assed shitty video sharing services".

sorry but no. there's a lot of programming languages out there and it's the job that the programming language and its community to convince me to use it when there are many alternatives to choose from. i don't have time to co

i don't think it was even funny the first time. reading this stuff i always feel like the author is trying to keep my attention by jiggling some car keys in front of my face as if i am an infant. this applies to books like learn you a

this is legitimately the worst programming book i've ever read. i wanted to get started with ruby back in 2009, and everyone was praising this book. i got it, read the first few chapters, and got bored out of my mind. it meanders and t
