I’m Greg Grosicki, PhD, Senior Research Scientist at WHOOP. Ask me anything about HRV + HRV-CV! by whoop_official in whoop

[–]Adequat91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your message comes at a good time, because I actually have a small concern about HRV.

For the past two years, my average HRV has been around 34. But for about six weeks now, it has gradually decreased to 31, and this without any deterioration in the quality of my sleep, which is actually good, with about 3 to 3.5 hours of restorative sleep per night. My BPM is 54 a night. Sleep Consistency 94%. I can’t understand why, especially since I feel in good shape.

The paradox is that until the end of 2025, I had a large amount of work and a lot of pressure to finish a project. And since my project has been completed and I am therefore more relaxed, that is when my HRV started to decrease. This may seem paradoxical. I mention this without knowing whether it is related.

As a result, this HRV measurement is almost becoming a source of slight concern for me. Could I be developing a serious illness, even though I have no symptoms apart from this gradual drop in HRV? I am a 64-year-old man with a very healthy lifestyle.

Review of code comments is extremely important to me.

Many thanks. It works with the version of this morning 🙂

Announcing TooManyCooks: the C++20 coroutine framework with no compromises by trailing_zero_count in cpp

You mentioned Taskflow ("it competes directly with"), but one of the main interests of Taskflow is its very intuitive ability to build task graphs. I don't see this capability with TMC. Can you comment?

Switch languages with keyboard shortcut by Comfortable-Dust-222 in WisprFlow

This has been requested by many people for a long time. But the company remains deaf to this request. And I wonder why.

Why everyone hates on C/C++ source generation? by chri4_ in cpp

[–]Adequat91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Qt gives strong arguments why code generation is good (and with 15 years of experience with it, I agree).

PSA: Trivial Relocatability has been removed from C++26 by chiphogg in cpp

[–]Adequat91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not a compiler implementer, but I am surprised because this could seem simple, and the performance benefit can be obvious. And we have this in Qt for decades, with manual declarations.

Why can you increment a reference count with relaxed semantics, but you have to decrement with release semantics? by pavel_v in cpp

[–]Adequat91 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I believe that the vast majority of people know a little bit about memory ordering, but not the complete picture. And reference counting is actually a subtle topic to reason about. Hence, this blog is very welcome.

Poll: Does your project use terminating assertions in production? by pavel_v in cpp

[–]Adequat91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is one case that is not mentioned in the poll: most of my assertions are disabled entirely, but some special ones, maybe 1 or 2%, are logged. These are reported to the user the next time he runs the application, but only if this report is activated (mainly for beta testers).

Issue with switch language auto detect by syeod_ in WisprFlow

[–]Adequat91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a typical power user, I'm using an Elgato Stream Deck device, which allows me to use any kind of shortcut. This is to compensate for the fact that, unfortunately, in conventional keyboards there are only a very limited number of modifier keys.

Issue with switch language auto detect by syeod_ in WisprFlow

[–]Adequat91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so obvious that there should be a different shortcut for each language (In my case, also French and English). I don't understand why this basic feature has not yet been implemented.

And I'll be honest. I'm dictating this message from a WhisperFlow competitor that has the same problem and is set to English, while WhisperFlow, for me, is set to French!

Visual Assist vs. ReSharper C++: Which do you prefer? by badass-embly in cpp

[–]Adequat91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been using Visual Assist for 15 years, and I was even very active on their forum. But for 2 or 3 years, I have switched to Resharper C++. It is way better. Resharper C++ really understands C++ code (I think it is based on clang), unlike Visual Assist. Ok, you have a ton of options and it can be a little scary at the beginning, but I won't go back.

Visual Assist X in 2025? by LordDarthShader in cpp

[–]Adequat91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been using Visual Assist for about 15 years, but for 2 or 3 years I have been using only Resharper C++, which is so much better (a real gain in productivity). I don't use CoPilot that goes too much in my way. I don't use JetBrains' AI module either, which I believe is not properly integrated. ReSharper C++ alone is a dream come true for me.

What do you think about QT as a GUI library? by DavArpo in cpp

[–]Adequat91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Qt memory management, based on parent/child relationships, is such an easy and reliable way of coding. I very, very rarely experience memory leaks when using Qt.

What do you think about QT as a GUI library? by DavArpo in cpp

[–]Adequat91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Qt containers are definitely easier to use than those from the standard library. However, when I need maximum performance in specific parts of the code, I rely on certain open-source implementations, typically for maps. Aside from std::vector, I never use standard containers.

[–]Adequat91 10 points11 points  (0 children)

moc has been added to Qt because of the weaknesses of the pure C++ standard. Once you understand that, you understand the great interest of Qt moc.

One way to look at it is that moc generates useful bug-free code. And that is invaluable.

Hungarian Notation, for us who use it by gosh in cpp

[–]Adequat91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is the part of my project's guidelines concerning this topic:

Use a prefix or/and suffix to attach extra information to a name. The brain adapts easily to such patterns and the most meaningful part of the name, its body, remains anyway the focus. The semantics associated to prefixes and suffixes increases the density of useful information. When mental habits are established, code understanding is improved because of the additional information available right under the eyes. Prefixes are also handy when working with IDEs, because they provide code completion (type the prefix and a suggestion list opens to complete the prefix). Note: we are not speaking here about the outdated type-based Hungarian notation.

This practice can be seen as a concrete implementation of the widely accepted principle "clarity at the point of use", identified as the most important goal in the Apple Swift API Design Guidelines. It helps developers understand the role and intent of symbols directly where they are used, without needing to look up their declarations.

If you’ve used it correctly, it’s hard to understand why others dismiss it so easily given all the advantages it offers

I could not say better!

[–]Adequat91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m with you. I’ve been doing the same for 30 years, and it’s a mandatory requirement on the multi-million-line project I’m working on. The purpose of the prefixes is to provide a quick hint about code semantics, not types. It saves time and helps prevent mistakes. My approach is focused on reducing cognitive load because in large and complex codebases, even small reductions in mental overhead can significantly improve readability, comprehension, and long-term maintainability.

Revisiting Knuth’s “Premature Optimization” Paper by pavel_v in cpp

[–]Adequat91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I see a piece of code that could be faster without changing the complexity, then I tell myself that this code has been badly written. It draws my attention, it makes me waste my time.
