C++ compiler errors back in C++99/01 days weren't usually so bad unless you were doing basic code and not some SFINAE shit. Increased boost usage and C++11 introduced var-arg templates and a lot of other things that made things ex

One thing to note is that the idealized Sweden and many benefits remain because we had a much lower wealth inequality 30 years ago but (mainly) right-wing governments have been very "successful" at removing the barriers that kept

I was initially annoyed at parts of the article, but it does point out that "hacks" often adds hidden complexity that isn't simple so there is a clarity about the tradeoff. Now the problem with the headline and repeating it i

It's better now, been annoyed like you but the Rpi5 comes in a 16gb variant and has a PCI-E port that can be extended to 5x SATA or 2x M2. It's not blazing but probably an improvement over my old Celeron J1800 with 8gb of ram. The

If you still use HDD's they pull around 10w each, 15w for the board is not too bad. (My current quite old machine is something like 40-50w, disks being the big draw), still at 15W you'll get a fair bit more perf than with any Arm

That this would even become a thing for established and widely depended on projects shows how broken our model currently is. In cases like this though, if it involves code from before 2005-2010 the author shouldn't matter since people

Some of these would make great oldschool spy- or detective-movie props, like the rubber stamp being overlooked by "stupid" detectives whilst the smart detective directly connect it to a callsign to uncover the murder victims secre

(Did skim a bit, heading out) While most research is commendable I think this feels a bit as one that goes in from the wrong starting point. Unified memory has become a thing (Apple machines, Nvidia AI machines like the GH200, recent AMD &q

Maybe you can answer one thing that pickled my mind, no mention of CSRF protections,etc in the documentation that seems to cover quite a few bases. (apart from one xss symbol application that I couldn't fully decipher).

On the contrary I think they did the right thing in not supporting any schema it. 1: The "simpleness" made it easy for producers/consumers with unstructured languages (ie JS,Python,PHP,Ruby,etc) to participate in the ecosyste

Depends on the task, JSON won because it was so simple whilst XML is waaay to complex. Maybe an alternative to JSON with just a tad more complexity for sanity could have won 20 years ago, but alas it never happened.

Still, from a security perspective considering the low amount of sites that use it I think a better solution would be to implement it with a JS shim like PDF.js. JS is already required to have a XML DOM parser, an universal XSLT engine in J

No, but there's an ridiculous amount of programmers whose first language will have been Lua and have grown up with using first class functions and composition over inheritance from day one.

C++ 11 with lambdas is so much nicer than 98, but even if 14, 17, 20 and 23 have been minor in comparison the accumulated changes have been radical in making what was introduced in 11 into something really useful. Making anything remotely u

I think it might just be the other way around, if they front-loaded a lot of inventory shipments before tariffs were due to hit they might be loaded with unusually high inventory levels that needs shifting and will be hard to do so at price
