You need more than a compiler, so it is complicated, and not pure GPL, https://support.arduino.cc/hc/en-us/articles/4415094490770-L...

Ah the traditional browser stress test from the .NET team. :) Joke aside, yet another interesting read of all little improvements that go across all the runtime, and very much appreciated that they put out the effort to go through this deta

Note that the sandbox also relies on the fact that most userspace is managed, the Android team is very clear on what they see as supported use cases for the NDK.

Depends on how widely we consider Scheme and Raket adoption in CS curriculum.

Any organisation that cares about security should be allergic to external dependencies, that is why companies like Nexus and JFrog exist, with companies paying to keep internal repos infrastructure in shape. One just doesn't install wi

Of course we do, it is done via OS package managers, commercial libraries and SDKs. More recently, via vcpkg and conan.

While at the same time bragging to have exhausted their AI tokens in coding, yeah really annoying.

C++11 GC was useless from the start, I don't get how it ended up being voted in. At the time the two main customers of having a C++ GC would be Unreal C++ and C++/CLI, the design that landed on the standard serves neither of them,

One thing that people almost 100% of the time miss in the Java vs C# generics discussion, is that .NET was actually being designed with generics support, but they weren't ready on time for the 2001 launch, and there were some internal

Seriously doubt it, given that there is enough FOSS on those domains as well.

As someone that has had that experience when Timex 2068 was considered modern, and all that Nintendo did were Game&Watch handhelds, I am fine with it, there are other activities to keep one busy.

I know how well it has worked in practice since the Walnut Creek CDROMs were a thing.

Learning how to compile packages manually it was a common skill long before Linux came to be, and how GNU/Linux fits together could also easily be learnt with Slackware or Yggdrasil.

Coming alongside them, Swift 6.4 is now also officially available.

Interestingly enough, young developers have no issues writing C or C++ when it comes to game development, Pebble, Arduino or ESP-32 coding.

I doubt it, as Rust approach to language design is the antithesis of Go's culture. I would appreciate Go much more otherwise.

Can vouch for the sentiment, hence why regardless of the ranting, I am quite supportive of whatever helps to improve C and C++ security story. Also for Rust based rewrites, they could start by bootstraping Rust compiler itself, dependent o

Yes, proprietary hardware support out of the box, and pre-installed option by the few OEMs that sell GNU/Linux computers.

Canonical has been pushing its own agenda for ages, how many examples do you need? Microsoft making Rust tier 1 is great, it means probably one day we get a VS proper support instead of VSCode only. If you head off to Microsoft official blo

It isn't that bad, at least XML is machine friendly, supports schema validation, and does comments, contrary to its replacements that had to rediscover why such features matter. As for performance, that was also rediscovered why none o

Businesses. There is a reason all FOSS OS alternatives for embedded systems like Zephyr, NuttX, FreeRTOS, IDF, Arduino,... are not GPL based, while Google has purged Android and ChromeOS from it, with the Linux kernel being the only GPL pie

First of all, not all workstations are alike. A maxed out Mac Studio does very little for audio processing, and the custom audio cards that get used in the field. Second to do the same as many users do with graphics cards configurations, on

As someone into computers since 1986, I have used non 0 indexed adressing in BASIC, Pascal, Ada, Modula-2, and it was perfectly fine.

Consider that for the others you are supposed to build your own SDK from random pieces of libraries, not all of them playing well together. In that regard, the Vulkan SDK is definitely an improvement. However using Vulkan on Android is actu

It used to be UNIX as well, but Apple choose to give up on UNIX workstation market.

Even more so, having retired themselves from server and workstation market.

While using a compiler framework written in C++, yeah.

We can't cheer about using Claude for coding, and then complain they use to write blog posts as well. This attitude is what gets me a migraine.

I got to love scripting languages with at very least a proper JIT compiler, since the work a Portuguese startup, where we did too much "rewrite Tcl in C" kind of work. Indeed we ended up weighting between rewriting the whole thing
