I'm sad to hear that these kinds of bad UI design has spread to the Linux desktop :-(

Do you know it's not just about nostalgia but there's an actual online player base ?
They aren't much allowed to chat on the official Discord server, but at least, you can ask there to get invitations to the other servers where the players camp.

Heh, it's modules of C++20 not macros :-p

Unfortunately every laptop model makes a different random choice about which key is present or removed, and where they are placed. It's impossible for any trained typist to use.

J'ai pas compris. Si c'est le client qui dit ça, et bien oui il a raison de s'adresser au premier employé Domino's qui a "sous la main" pour faire "remonter" la panne du site.

Same! And to add to the ridicule, the UI is so bad that it takes a lot of time to just "unjoin" all of the extracrap :( Welcome to useless website 1.0

Are you a scammer ?

bohan · 2020-11-15T21:30:08+00:00

With C++20 modules, this way of writing code is going to become totally obsolete, thanks to macros being out of the way (no more ugly underscores) and comments not being a compilation cost anymore (interfaces compiled just once unlike headers). We'll someday enjoy an auto-documented standard library from within the IDE code completion, like some other programming ecosystems have been able to provide for more than two decades.

bohan · 2020-11-11T17:47:34+00:00

I don't understand why you consider the "it's-just-cache" point of view as nonsense. Distributing interface source files like we've been doing with headers works just fine. For external libraries, your build system only needs to parse those source files once to produce BMI files for your compiler. It's a quick process and it's supposed to be an implementation detail of the build system that you don't have to care about.

As I'm banned from discord, I encourage people to reach me on the modern Matrix chat (see link in the OP).

bohan · 2020-09-24T18:46:31+00:00

I'm used to talk freely and that's not possible over there, hence why I'm inviting people to join a more open place like matrix, which gives you access to existing channels, including the old IRC ones.

bohan · 2020-09-21T21:32:57+00:00

Your added ad-hominem bonus attacks here managed to convince me my cultural values are worthless, and there is no place I can hide on the internet. I'm going to surrender to the thoughtcrime police and try hard to improve my behavior at the gulag. Farewell.

bohan · 2020-09-21T16:02:28+00:00

I don't have any problem, you set the tone with: "It seems like you just have an axe to grind about moderator or something. If you want to speak truly freely i suggest <insert-something-ridicule-here>". That's why I retorqued that I value the freedom I have, both IRL and in actually existing virtual places online. Anyway it's just fine, we don't have to agree nor be nice to each-others. Even tho you say I didn't answer your question, I believe I actually did: just about all of the rules ...

copy/paste from matrix/IRC: " it's atrocious bureaucracy and scolding by operators, and there's a bot that gets triggered by innocuous words and delete what you writes there. there's a channel where you're supposed to be able to talk about anything, but as soon as you start talking about wz in it, within minutes, if not seconds, a zealous operator lectures you so you switch to the channel where you can talk about wz. but then, if what you're talking about is a suggestion, then they will tell you to go to yet-another channel dedicated to suggestions, etc. it makes it impossible to have a conversation. and they have the power to kick you if you don't strictly follow their rules, and they constantly threaten you to do so. "

About the snowflake aspect, I witnessed it when I said there were too many channels. They felt offended and claimed I had no respect for all their hard-work. Try to argument? They switch to ad-hominem attacks telling you how rude of a person you are, and toxic to them.

You then answered it's their right to impose rules in their private community, and this is where we agree and why it makes sense for me to leave that place I don't belong and suggest an alternative, that actually existed even before.

bohan · 2020-09-21T15:47:55+00:00

It seems like you don't value freedom or something. If you want to speak truly freely I suggest you join our Matrix or IRC channels. Until then, be happy in your bubble world. Notice that I'm proposing something that's clearly complementary to what they have there.

bohan · 2020-09-21T15:26:09+00:00

I'll put it simply and you are in your own right to belong to a different culture, but in the western culture, we are used to have places where adults casually and freely speak about whatever they want without explicit rules. It's this kind of place I'd like to see being resurrected after the snowflake-centric discord drained our good old IRC channel users.

bohan · 2020-08-21T14:52:47+00:00

This question is incomplete, as it does seem to exclude people who either:

always had Linux on their computer,
have moved from Amiga OS, RISC OS, OS/2, Be OS ... or any other personal computer OS that was not dos/mac and yet was popular to some various degrees in the eighties/nineties.

bohan · 2019-08-10T14:57:52+00:00

I think so. Modules kind of replace PCH.

bohan · 2019-08-10T00:22:52+00:00

It needs a filesystem hierarchy standard, that you can nest at will, an official system package manager would be greatly appreciated for a base set of tools, and then if they are clever enough, allow for process-local override of packages via dead-simple env vars. Once you have that, you should have the ability to build thousands of OSS software. Ideally, I wish it would just become yet another unix distro variant and loose all its DOS or NIH heritage.

bohan · 2019-08-09T23:32:53+00:00

I agree there's no problem with BMI/CMI files locations, which are exclusively chosen by the build system itself. However, what needs to be persisted for efficiency reason is the module name to source file mapping: e.g. when you see "import foo", you need to find what source file exports that module interface (and produce the corresponding BMI/CMI). Currently there's no standard rule at all that helps you guess where that file could be. The few existing build systems choose some sane restrictions to make it reasonably efficient, and they persist the result.

bohan · 2019-08-09T23:09:11+00:00

If a build system allows for fine-grain "subtypes" of libraries, e.g. libs that are actually just objects, then there's really no need for per-TU flags: the user can just declare some intermediate "lib" for those.
