This is just a director level person. Either 1. This is not important enough that a senior person (VP or above) is assigned to take care of Generative AI (the biggest shift since Mobile/Cloud) or 2. Robby Walker is cannon fodder and is

You haven't demonstrated the capability of Generics though (which C doesn't really have, only a minimal version). For this particular example, C++ does function overloading on parameters which C cannot hence you need this silly Ge

People unironically keep posting this article, yet here we are - in 2025 - a full thirteen years later and ZeroMQ remains a C++ application with no C in the mix. So, it seems to be a case where C++ should not work in theory but works in pra

You were going through some good points until you hit Rust and then the entire argument seemed suspect. Rust has none of the interactivity of the REPL or dynamism. Complete pain for a normal scientist programmer. Given that security is not

Mojo has an interesting mix of things to investigate. Julia is also interesting things that make CUDA/GPU programming easier than Python or C++.

Among the many improvements, time is one area where C++ has become better than old school C cruft. In c++20/std::chrono, the Lua like code is just this - auto now = system_clock::now(); zoned_time local_time{current_zone(), now};

Wow, Doug McIlroy is 92 and still sharp, working through the implementation. Too many times, people complain of being over the hill when they hit 30!. Mental capability doesn't slow that dramatically (as physical) good perspective to h

This is a Bjarne issue. For personal reasons he uses proportional fonts in his code blocks (in his texts) instead of monospaced and the code snippets always look bad. I guess he is stuck in his ways, just have to work around this ugly look.

What do you mean "gave" them 1.4 Billion? It's a loan so it has to be repaid. Usually, this is unsaid but with crypto people you sometimes have to explain basic financial conditions. Also, the loan was to bail them from risks

Good things eh? The simplest Spring Boot program (assuming you can handle maven after this). The fact that Spring Boot is the end result of lot of de-FactoryFactoryization of Java shows how god awful standard programming in Java is. pac

Less of a technical reason than the fact that TSMC was willing to go farther in accommodating Apple's demand (which is right). Also, this is Morris Chang relaying, so not totally unbiased. The implication was that Intel lacked the

Jeez, read the article. C++20 has such an elegant solution that it has him swooning. Being truly luxurious, the tz library supports using not just your operating system’s time zone databases, which might lack crucial leap second detail, bu

Quite honestly, doesn't seem like Rust is a win here over C++. In fact, C++ has fewer sigils that make it somewhat easier to read sort of striking the balance between being simple enough (C-like) and abstractions (templates). Readabili

If you want to be pedantic, there is a constexpr in the snippets, wont be accepted by the C compiler. More broadly though it is a C++ tutorial. I insisted on it because the author of algorithmica actually explains he chose C++ and perhaps s

Congrats!. Curious if you tried to run your game in C++ of 2024. What kind of improvements did you see (speed, performance, etc..) compared to doing it in 2004.
