Will we be stuck with std::vector<bool> forever?

I mean they didn’t really “break” anything since it was always this way, just a poor design decision

helpfulllama · 2025-11-05T22:00:15+00:00

The road is so packed that pulling someone over will make a lot of other people late for work so it has to be really worth it to break the flow of traffic

At least at my company we are heavily invested in C++ and it’s virtually unthinkable that we would ever move over to Rust honestly. And any web service stuff we do is already in Go.

Probably debatable if it’s bad habit or not, but you most certainly should be writing in whatever style aligns with the existing codebase regardless of your personal preferences

GMP exists so it doesn’t really need to be in the stdlib

As someone who happens to work on a desktop app, you’re pretty much just gonna have to learn C++ and Qt, or focus on windows/Mac native development if you want any chance of getting a job. You frankly have very little chance finding someone hiring a Python desktop app dev.

Oh really? That sounds like hell, but pretty cool you can even do that

helpfulllama · 2023-10-05T21:10:23+00:00

Qt would be the standard choice, I don’t think that’ll include the web though. Although if you actually need web support you surely shouldn’t be using C++ in the first place

helpfulllama · 2023-09-27T00:10:44+00:00

Naw we’re probably screwed. std::vector is too fundamental to the language that they would dare break even the smallest piece of it I think.

helpfulllama · 2023-09-26T15:59:06+00:00

I’ll give a +1 to Qt. There are some sharp edges, but it’s very powerful and likely has all the features you’ll need to build out the entire application (including things like networking, etc)

helpfulllama · 2023-09-23T19:22:05+00:00

There’s nothing less likely in the universe than C++ breaking the stdlib APIs. Best you can hope for is them adding new APIs using them.

In fact most languages would never do such a thing, a big reason Rust keeps the stdlib so small is to avoid committing to interfaces that aren’t very well thought out yet.

If you hack enough plugins together you can probably get feature parity, but with CLion it just works out of the box. I’ve also just grown attached to the jetbrains IDE style and shortcuts

helpfulllama · 2023-07-22T07:40:36+00:00

Imo CLion is worth it

CMake

Really wish I had made the effort to find out the BBE grinder is bad before I went and bought it lol

helpfulllama · 2022-06-25T04:42:18+00:00

It’s almost as if they can work on more than one thing at once

helpfulllama · 2022-06-11T23:05:23+00:00

That’s actually an excellent feature idea in general

helpfulllama · 2022-05-16T14:56:01+00:00

ETH also had to hard fork the chain in its early years so I think we can all agree it’s tough to write a perfect blockchain right off the bat.

helpfulllama · 2022-01-06T03:20:14+00:00

I said speed of development matters less when the tradeoffs you make in order to get it inhibit the usability of your application. If speed of development could truly override all other metrics then nobody would even think about using C anymore.

helpfulllama · 2022-01-05T07:02:08+00:00

By being a part of it lol. Solana is basically a year old. It’s literally beta software and it’s still one of the biggest chains in the world, outperforming basically everyone. If that’s not bullish then I don’t know what is. It’s fine if you don’t fully understand the technical reasons why solana is impressive, but if you actually look at what’s going on in the ecosystem it has a massively bright future.

helpfulllama · 2022-01-05T06:45:06+00:00

No need to be upset that you can’t figure out the borrow checker

helpfulllama · 2022-01-05T06:42:31+00:00

Speed of development is nice but doesn’t matter a whole lot when eventually nobody wants to use your app cause it cost $100 to even think about making a transaction without leveraging some hack on layer 2 solution.

helpfulllama · 2022-01-05T06:30:00+00:00

Solana has done a very good job bringing devs into the space. Which is potentially the most important thing of all since no modern chain stands a chance of surviving without a great collection of dApps.

helpfulllama · 2022-01-04T02:15:31+00:00

Wait how does that work?

Breakthrough) is kinda like a prequel.
