If you live in a country where local, short-term rain / shower forecast is essential (like [1] [2]), it's funny to see how incredibly bad radar forecast is. There are really convenient apps that show an animated map with radar dat

It's funny how languages like Go and Julia are typically still seen as "new", even though they are more than a decade old. It's similar to "modern C++" referring to C++11 and above. Sometimes you even read abou

Just as an example: CMake ensures roughly a decade of backwards compatibility. This `license_file` change is the epitome of unnecessary breakage.

About "eager deprecations" let me give you another absolute gem: ******************************************************************************** The license_file parameter is deprecated, use license_files instead.

Python's situation is pathetic. Some Python folks wanted to get rid of the builtin module `distutils`. Got deprecated, and now it's finally removed in Python 3.12. That's a breaking change in a minor release, probably because

Where did you get those numbers 35-50%?

You'd hope that modules would make those issues go away, instead of making them worse. Also, CPPFLAGS ensure the shared code in headers is the same, whereas with modules it feels as if you have to manually bring the compiler itself in

In Python I sometimes miss "header files". Quite often you see: import x class Foo: def bar(self): import y # break circular import y.something() Would be nice to be able to import `

C++ is really becoming easier to use! compiler error: you have to match the flags of that one dependency you're not familiar with and you didn't even compile yourself, rookie!

Yeah, that'd make a lot of sense. With Fortran mod files I believe it's not even backwards compatible for a single compiler: gfortran. If it's not standardized, you end up recompiling the world, which defies the point.

The suggestion there (uid = gid = 1000; uname = user; gname = users) isn't great. Just use uid = gid = 0, and omit uname/gname. If you're distributing software via a tarball, the uid/gid bits are meaningless. They only m

The issue is that Make isn't particularly well suited to figure out properties of C / C++ compilers, or how to locate and link dependencies. That's the main reason Autotools and CMake exist.

GNU Make is still being developed. What features are you talking about? IMHO GNU Make is pretty complete, and it shouldn't change drastically. Also note that ninja exists as an alternative.

This tutorial is out of date: # Search for the "-i" flag. MAKEFLAGS is just a list of single characters, one per flag. So look for "i" in this case. ifneq (,$(findstring i, $(MAKEFLAGS))) echo "i was

Also, don't include generated C files when distributing the package. It's notoriously non-forward compatible with Python, and generating C code takes much less time than compiling, which has to happen anyways.

With -std=c89 you shouldn't need that `int k`, right? Further, you can add includes on the command line cc -std=c89 donut.c -include stdio.h -include string.h -include math.h -lm Then the source can be left as is.

The question is, is this statement binding for 10 years, or can they "kill" it within a couple years?

It'd be great if more people had the audacity to say they've solved all problems in an academic field and then leave that field, instead of referring to that popular image that shows how your PhD is only a small dent/addition

Also Bjarne Strostroup said that this (pun intended) was a mistake, since often there is no "most important" object. If you want to do generic programming, it's much better to write f(a, b) instead of a.f(b). Suppose I'm
