Have you ever read or attempted to implement a portion of the SVG specification? It's absurdly complex, and there is little guarantee that the SVG spec is implemented completely and identically in different environments. I know of seve

It's not a limitation or the machine, it's a setting in the compiler. Try doing anything pretty fancy at compile time with templates in C++ or macros in Rust and you'll quickly need to set the recursion depth limit higher.

If you've ever heard a counterfeiting story from a chipmaker this is unsurprising. They'll copy anything and everything just to be sure.

The analog of a timeout in a compiler is recursion depth limits.

This bothers me on all search. Search for <model> <year> of any product on google, 50/50 shot its a different company's item in the first (few) places. Search bribes are user hostile but developer necessary it seems.

That would be illegal, or at least unenforceable in California. Intel and AMD wouldn't exist if that were legal here anyway, both were founded by way of exodus from an eventual competitor. Intel in particular, its two founders were ori

A large amount of cruft and performance issues in the C++ standard library remain because the committee is too afraid of breaking ABI compatibility, so it's not so much as a "no" as "oh no." Even MSVC hasn't br

It's not a problem for devs so much as users. If I'm not maintaining my software it's probably because I can't afford it, but the people that use it still want it installed.

Its intellectually hazardous to anthropomorphize chaos, like ascribing a purpose to evolution.

To me, the single biggest distinction between working in a startup versus a traditional organization is that all your work has immediate impact. There are points in the lifetime of a startup where code quality and test coverage have immedia

Yes lots of them died before 2013. Conversely they're not charging you a massive one time update fee. They're charging many smaller fees for smaller updates which is more representative of the development costs of the product, whe

You never owned the software, just purchased an indefinite license to use it. This has turned out to be ultimately unprofitable and has changed from infinite subscription terms to finite ones. I don't know why you think it hurts R&

This is going to sound a bit like "no true generics" but if you think of C++ templates as macros less so than generics you might be more open to seeing how other languages do it in a way that encourages better engineering.

Editions exist to guarantee forward compatibility, it's actually a really good solution to a hard problem.

Well for one, I've never heard of it until this thread so that might be an issue. That said, "doing something that other things do" is a really hard place to be, doubly so with developer tools. A lot of time and money is inve

I don't want to downvote you because I assume you didn't write that, but this kind of vitriol is childish. We shouldn't point and laugh at people losing their jobs in this environment.

The thing is that "the web" doesn't make sense as a platform for audio applications when to build upon it you need to throw away realtime safe subroutines. Realtime audio rendering is a soft realtime problem. If the web audio

I'm guessing TDD stands for Test Driven Design/Development, but I feel compelled to call out the author's failure to spell out the acronym at its first usage. Same for Read Eval Print Loop.

This really only matters for iOS builds, meanwhile I have users that can't upgrade to Catalina yet and I need Mojave/High Sierra environments to build and test against.
