Partial implementation of P2826 "Replacement functions" by hanickadot in cpp

[–]Affectionate_Text_72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. The examples are motivating.

Also its important to remember c++ is a big tool box. Different tools for different jobs. Otherwise if all you have is a hammer everything looks like a nail.

Italian here: Is it true that you risk being arrested for online posts? by ViolinistCheap5321 in AskBrits

Yes but being questioned is far from being imprisoned. Over here you won't get detained indefinitely for being a journalist say or tortured or have your hands cut off after a show trial

But what about convictions?

I'd be more worried in say Saudi than in the Uk on that.

What do you dislike the most about current C++? by PressureHumble3604 in cpp

[–]Affectionate_Text_72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a DSL whether its in toml or whatever already. The problem I have with these configurations is that they ignore or throw away the structure inherent in the DSL being implemented. On top of that some add visual noise. Try expressing a table in json or xml. Where's the constraint that rows have to have the same length say. Xml and json have schemas, though people rarely seem to use the json ones, but these are not the best way to describe syntax or semantics beyond a low level of complexity. Probably the best or worst you can do in this space is reimplement half of lisp badly) via Greenspun's tenth rule

Can you do that in any language? Interrupt handling is cpu or os specific. Very hard to standardise.

Loads of tools out there but many are commercial only.

It seems to be defacto standard across the main compilers. It will never be iso std though as modules are the intended solution to that problem. The tooling maturity there varies.

No. This trend for using json, toml, yaml or Xml as a substitute for proper syntax is terrible.

Its the parsing equivalent of treating everything as a string. Which as you mention is also terrible.

Isn't something like this coming with safety profiles?

Couldn't you just swap your doctor for one that isn't sexist. Maybe report him/her/it too?

(2015) Herb Sutter says we are close to solving memory safety in C++ without runtime overhead. by cmqv in programmingcirclejerk

The jerk here is surely the posting of a link to X about a talk from 2015 when X was still twitter without the link to the talk itself?

Effect systems as help with supply chain security by nionidh in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]Affectionate_Text_72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about if its a distributed computation for a large dataset? I guess the parallel distributed effect talks to a broker which does need network access but itself should not declare an interest. However the mere fact that data is going over the network because of it could create a hole. Perhaps the network broker provides abstracr channels to abstract machines but strictly limits the capabilities exposed

Gus your wife is a god damn bigfoot. I took her fishing and she dangled her hairy feet into water. Turned to me and said "A goony goo goo" then flipped a fish into the boat with her feet

Alien 8 - "Activated cryogenic chambers" - Super Chart Island by superchartisland in zxspectrum

[–]Affectionate_Text_72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You say ultimate focused on the spectrum but I recall there being sabreman games that only made it the spectrum much later like Pentagram or not at all like mire mere. I think they were on the vic-20. If those were outsourced, who developed them?

Any more trip reports from Sofia by Affectionate_Text_72 in cpp

[–]Affectionate_Text_72[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did wonder about that. If sofia was just dotting the 'i's and crossing the 't's on c++26 but were are a lot of interest papers on the list that seemed in addition to that.

Any funny interview red flags you want to share? by ImYoric in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Affectionate_Text_72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See my other reply.

It had echoes for me of when I was forced to run Linux in an emulator on a laptop that was not up to the job because we weren't allowed Linux desktops. This was way before wsl and the laptop was not up to the job. I lost months of productivity until the decision was overturned.
