The main downside of becoming a C++ dev is that all of other languages seem so inferior.

wxWidgets, FLTK and gtkmm use only pure C++ (and some preprocessor macros).

So is it like ASP.NET WebForms?

That modal popup can be blocked as well. Ad blockers have element pickers for a reason. No need to wait for some official lists updates.

I mean the deal Microsoft has with yandex to have it as the default search engine.

by zerr 3y ago
Btw, Microsoft seems to be circumventing US/EU sanctions. While traveling to eastern Europe, the fresh installation of Edge has yandex (pootin-linked company) as the default search engine, and also proposes other similarly shady websit

Awesome! It might be boring for you, but accompanying that project with a "Let's write a debugger" tutorial would be very useful.

You don't. Production ready statically compiled native C# is a death sentence for Golang :)

Fun observation: SICP is a kind of book that after finishing, you rarely/never go back to it.

They do anthropomorphize - Flutter and Golang mascots.

I'd also vote for std::string split and join functions. And networking.

Same with C++. Even C++98/03 becomes beautiful after reading TC++PL.

Asking for more pay with their standard PTO and as-needed UTO (Unpaid Time Off) might have been more successful.

And then compare that ratio to someone from Portugal or eastern Europe who charges 5x less?

Are you able to pay US-level hourly rate?

At least `export` keyword was implemented in Comeau C++ :)

`Copying for yourself` vs `copying for profit`
564.
by zerr 3y ago
Unlike physical objects, copying digital goods has a zero cost, including for the author. So when the pricing does not reflect this (e.g. when ebook's and printed book's price is in the same order), it encourages unauthorised copy

If you are counting MBs at that order, then wxWidgets would be the best option. It can be statically linked easily. The size overhead is about 2.5-3 MB. It is a thin wrapper on top of native controls, so e.g. you can always get to the under

Nokia acquisition of Trolltech gave us LGPL Qt.

by zerr 3y ago
> The problem is that Gtk is ugly, Qt is extremely bloated and WxWidgets barely works. Seems like the author didn't look at cross-platform toolkits since 90s.

Right. It doesn't make sense to lay off a dev in Romania, who's salary is less than a janitor's one in the US office.

Did the popularity of AWK demise after Perl became ubiquitous?

Why Microsoft was never able to come up with Borland C++Builder competitor? i.e. RAD for C++. Even today there is no WinUI3 GUI designer for C++.
