There was this one time I had a prolonged dental operation, I was fully conscious, the dentist talked himself through a delicate situation while hunting in my mouth for the right angle to do it. And I thought suddenly, hey, it's just

I write of code in both C# and C++ daily, have been doing it for ~15 years now, and maintaining an ancient codebase. I generally agree with TheRealPomax. C++ has problems but I personally find it more ergonomic than Rust (less than C# tho

Tell me about it ;) Apparently, it's related to the few win 7 machines that are still present somewhere in the organization for various reasons. All of them are airgapped (I hope) so there's no real reason to keep NTLM, but nobod

In addition to what was said above: In later versions, LFS doesn't play nice with misconfigured internal networks based on Microsoft's Azure / Active Directory. The LFS project dropped support for NTLM (for good reasons) but

Completely agree. My team has on-call duty, but we don't have to do it 24/7, just during business hours. I hope we never get to the point where we're giving support 24/7. Slightly off topic: stdout's On-Call. ht

That Roslyn analyzer linked by notanaverageman below is really cool, I didn't know about it. But I don't think that even that analyzer will be able to tell if you call a method which itself allocates memory. But it's not ver

Knowing people who work in the defense/military sector, this is what I gather as well. Pay is lower, sometimes much lower, compared to other jobs. I know some people stay in it out of ideology, or because they're natural lifers,

Try watching the "back to basics" videos from the last 4 years' cppcons. But that's mostly learning modern paradigms of the language. If you also mean the tooling, then it depends: Learn CMake which is sort of an industr

I haven't been reading here as long as you have, so I don't have your perspective. But: As a reader: I don't think there's only one POV, but maybe because if a topic interests me, I tend to read the whole thread, or at

I think it means that reference type objects stay allocated forever, but I'm not sure. From [0]: If an API allocates as part of its operation and doesn't return that as result, it's not good. We don't have a GC. This

Also for hard real time systems (which do not necessarily include operating systems). You need to have a deterministic computation time each cycle and never go over the time budget allocated. With a GC that isn't reference-counted it&

Here's how to emulate TCP_CORK using TCP_NODELAY, from [0]: - unset the TCP_NODELAY flag on the socket - Call send() zero or more times to add your outgoing data into the Nagle-queue - set the TCP_NODELAY flag on the socket - call send

A personal tangent. In the spirit of the OP, I guess. I read Justine (1st book of the Alexandria Quartet) back in my early 20s, circa 1993. The way I found it was utterly weird. I was helping my dad sort out his old stuff my mom wanted hi

Yes, they are willing, that wasn't the problem. The problem was that the consuming app on my side is historically metadata driven, and historically tries to avoid having to recompile when the interface changes. We do that by keeping
