A constant is a variable that _always_ has the same value on all lifecycles, e.g. const int a{10}; An immutable variable well ... does not void some_function(const int a); Can you tell me what is the value of `a` on both ca

Just to clarify: I'm not saying I doubt they are the fastest, I don't know and I don't care. What I do care is that a company (a VC backed one specially) that markets their product like that follows the statement with proof,

Yes if a software markets itself like this without backing up I smell BS. Like any company now is "global leader in X market".

This is a sad timeline. "AI is going to replace engineers.. but first please fill this human-readable markdown file to help it understand your code". What a bunch of morons, that's just called documentation. Instead of using

It feels to me that C++ has long become a language for "academic" or compiler-minded people to try yet another thing just for the sake of it or because its fun. Yes reflection eases some issues we have on C++ but the syntax is hor

These are some really weird arguments against RAII. First and foremost it is not only used for memory allocation. Second the fact that we have RAII doesn't mean it is used like "std::lock_guard" to acquire and free the resour

How is that different from just making a call? It's much faster and you can both be looking at your respective screens with the same information

Have you ever heard about helicopters? There are hospitals that have them. Why do we need _personal_ airplanes for this to happen? Why you think doctors will have money or space for their own airplane when they have no helicopters yet? In t

I can't take this language seriously. No enums, letter cases defining if something is "public" or "private", generics as an after-thought. To name just a few

This is such a cool visualization. It's so interesting to see that Rust's embedded libraries are on a more separate, dense, group.

ebpf seems to be a very interesting idea and have been experimenting with it. Still I find it weird that we're doing documentaries on software "frameworks"

I doubt they had the time to pull MacGyver stuff. This scenario was most likely already predicted and tested and it was a matter of changing configurations.

That is a very eloquent explanation, for an opinion I share and wasn't able to put so plainly! I always get weird looks when, watching TV, I change channels during ads.
