Where are we with modules, isn't pimpl there largely to avoid costs related to including the world? I was pondering on why he was putting the defaulted methods in the cpp, any particular reasons? I did realize that the indirect version

The irony is that including/using many standard c++ headers is far far more expensive than including a lean windows.h these days. To make hobby-coding fun, i use a mstdp.hpp that implements "naive" versions of unique,shared,f

I think part of the entire design is that it's quite hard to detect. 1: Reads/Writes are just routed to a COTS SD-card. 2: Unless the (correct?) password is detected in the write-data that starts the disconnect procedure. The only

Ah sorry for being coy, the G was meant to be a shorthand for gyr or am I misremembering?

Can't remember the exact featureset of the popular D one (because boy, was there many languages called D and E and so on over the years in the 80s/90s), I'd say to be a car it needs both temporal and bounds safety at the leas

For those that weren't around (or didn't do programming back in those days). The GUS soundcard just filled a niche perfectly at point in time with a reasonable pricepoint. It came out at the same time as the Sound Blaster 16, but

It's the old craftsmen vs industry issue, Andrew comes from the craftsman tradition that prefers all other people developing to also be proud craftsmen. What Java, JS, Python and C# all did to conquer the industry from a C++ dominance

I think that's the issue in some cases though, while being totally absent is a major negative, the perception the kid has of the parent _while_ present is more improtant than when being absent if the absence is understandable, a kid in

RenderWare was quite a special case that made trust in third party engines go down significantly since EA closed it to external customers just as the PS3 hit (Renderware kind-of saved the PS2 since it was "complicated" in the same

You mean in the sense that async methods return "awaitable" (Value)Task objects that contains the actual activation machinery that can be queried for liveness status? It's funny that they're actually revamping the entire

Iirc often the frameworks don't have worker affinity, anyhow environments like .NET has "AsyncLocal" to provide an aware alternative.

You're thinking of older early coroutines or in singlethreaded runtimes (JS). It's M:N threading, most logical threads/tasks are more lightweight than full OS threads, the logical ones should preferably behave cooperatively b

by whizzter 3mo ago
Nah, coroutines/async/etc often lives in various threads (ie, the workers can schedule one of them on different threads during the lifetime and they live concurrently), so you still have all the issues of threading (+ new ones sin

Again, it's all still tied to that one device, the phone, if it's hacked it's really game over and with a big enough hole in the Android or iOS ecosystem that could be wormable a lot of people could be exploited en-masse. Sur

Well that is the point of this entire digital wallet thingy, there's going to be a transition period since everything here is more or less hardcoded to bankid not to mention tons of code with presumptions about Swedish identity semanti

Honestly, as long as the architectures is fatally flawed (Even if convenient) it's just bandaids over a larger issue. These mobile id's are too powerful, signing contracts, transfering all your funds or taking loans, regulation is

I'm not entirely disagreeing, right now however there is so much fraud that when it intersects with things of interest causes millions(billions?) to be spent on chasing the wrong leads (see findings on that 2006 Amyloid Plaque paper re

I think I was more referring to academia than commercial research even if there is a large intersection.

by whizzter 4mo ago
I wouldn't say so, more that lawyers and capitalistic interests goes before scientific advancements, that doesn't preclude independant (or guided) re-discovery and eventual replication of findings.

by whizzter 4mo ago
Researcher/academics pay/promotoins should be contingent on reviewing,challenging and reproducing papers rather than publishing quantity, because publishing cartels and AI has already degraded most research fields.

We would end up with some other (probably worse) JS frameworks instead, JQuery(shudder) was still big, Angular 1 was a glimpse of something but they went for Angular 2+ that changed everything, backbone js, ember js,etc. Vue is probably the

Right, but bad UI's was not uncommon before webviews, if anything the spartan-ness of the web often simpified patterns whilst reliance on weird hotkeys in desktop apps isn't uncommon.

This is a library in similar vein to "Dear imgui", minimal requirements for integration (rectangle and text rendering) so that it's easy to embed into game-engines,etc for debug UI's and similar things.

And that's the unserious part, they really don't want anything to do with consumers despite making consumer products (gmail, Android, etc.) so you're always at the mercy of their automatic systems.
