I feel sick everything time when I see C++ related stuff, simple & fun programming got so complicated just because some big name "committee members" who insist to spend 30 years to standardize networking/filesystem/r

it is quite amazing given just 5 years ago that Intel PR mouthpieces were still trying to convince people that why they don't need anything more than 4 cores on desktops.

I really like the fact that it takes "decades" for any reasonable change (e.g. networking, fiber, reflection etc) in C++ to be approved, implemented and promoted. It has never been a better time to depreciate such dinosaur languag

Rice is probably the worst junk food in the world, with a GI of 90 and billion of people eating it, its negative impact on health on a global scale is just shockingly bad. I stopped eating that junk food a few years ago, couldn't feel

If 2-3 Ryzen machines is all you need, you should just go for a Xeon/Epyc server. You can build a decent Epyc workstation/server with 64 cores for as little as $2k USD when using 2nd gen Epyc processors.

Simply by being Han Chinese? That itself sounds like a discrimination to me.

As a Han Chinese, what caste I would be in when dealing with those abusers who openly discriminate their peers?

You can't revert this trend - C++ is a legacy language being depreciated by more and more projects. C++ and Rust are simply not competing on the same level. You don't need a complicated "enterprise" building farm/cl

nice setup! I spent weeks searching for a 10G switch that can support the IEEE 1588v2 PTP Transparent Clock (TC) mode but couldn't find anyone that can fit into my budget ($1-2k USD new or <$1k for used). Anyone has such switch to r

cross-platform is no longer a bonus of a language or a toolchain. it is a must to have feature in any modern language. to give you some example - using the exact same toolchain on amd64/macos, I can build my golang code to run natively

no one is against C or assembly, they are direct models of how machine works, they provide native access to underlying stuff. the same can't be said for C++, e.g. its OO concept seemed to be cool back in the 90s, but after so many deca
