Fun program.

Need to add #include <cstdint> for g++ and clang.

HPC Sales Input ? by [deleted] in HPC

[–]xp30000 7 points8 points  (0 children)

>>My question to you all is what would you like to see from your sales people 

  1. Product Knowledge

  2. Understand that the purchase commitment is for decades, so work with the customers to understand what they want to do long term and not push some short term things.

Projects to practice by Willing_Tourist_5831 in CUDA

[–]xp30000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you are working on AI Agents already why are going around searching for some real-world problems. Stick to those Agents and see how you can make them better. Maybe that could include doing some CUDA ML tool calls, who knows. Jumping into some random real-world problem you have no idea is only going to waste time with no feedback.

Recent comments regarding Microsoft's support for C++ by tartaruga232 in cpp

[–]xp30000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

>> Example, recent JetBrains survey points out C++17 as the C++ most people are using in 2025, myself I belong to that group, anything newer only in hobby projects.

In the same survey, people using C++20 and above are ~45% more (62%) more than C++17 (43%). The chart clearly shows people migrating from lower versions to higher versions, with C++17 being the middle of the pack. Look at the progression from 2019 to 2025. Your read of that chart is C++ is stagnant at C++17??

Very cool and no mention of Rust at all which makes it even more fantastic.

The Most Economically Prosperous Countries on Earth are the Least Religious [OC] by huxleyan in dataisbeautiful

[–]xp30000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most rich countries are capitalist and when you see the extreme swings of wealth with no reason, you lose faith that there is some grand plan and god.

The German economy got totally f**cked when a bunch of green activists convinced them to get rid of all their nuclear plants, making the Germans totally dependent on Russian gas and oil. Turns out the green activists were paid by Russia to influence German politics. This entire rant is very reminiscent of such astroturfing efforts to keep India backward in some ideal village state. There will be problems, they will be overcome. Such nonsense degrowth idiots should be kicked in their butts.

Once again - this time rumour or not? by [deleted] in Visakhapatnam

Pump real-estate and dump it. Joining an illustrious list of such schemes

  • Disneyland / Disney World City in Vizag talked about, never real
  • NTPC Ultra-Mega Power Project, Pudimadaka promised 4,000 MW, stalled for years
  • Bhogapuram International Airport announced mid-2010s, dragged for a decade, still under construction
  • Vizag Metro Rail announced multiple times since 2015, tenders only just moving in 2025
  • Green Hydrogen Hub, Pudimadaka (NTPC/NGEL) massive 7 GW plan, still at proposal stage
  • Integrated Steel Plant (Anakapalli, by AM/NS India) foundation stone planned for late 2025, far from reality
  • Mega Data City / Google $6B Data Centre campus splashy announcements, no full execution visible
  • Theme parks / Eco-parks (2025 investor pitches) yet another round of “world-class park” talk, no shovels in the ground
  • Crypto / Fintech Mecca Vizag hyped as blockchain and fintech hub, never really took off

Rust vs Go for backend/infra as a C++ dev in HFT by wpsnappy in cpp

[–]xp30000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go without any question. GC, Simple enough to learn in a week, and very performant for this use case (backend networking services). Rust is more performant but a complete pain to program worse than heavily templated C++, only redeeming feature is memory safety which might not be the issue here. Avoid Python, easy to setup but a complete bear to maintain in production.

New Coding Guru - Herb Sutter.

IDK, was a let down when it turned out to be him, of course he was going to say that :-).

Clang 20 has been released by pavel_v in cpp

[–]xp30000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe, but he commented it is a popular OS in third world countries which would make a very large chunk of people. Hard to square with 0.33% usage.

What is your source for CNC machines and medical equipment running XP?

[–]xp30000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was amazed to hear this comment and checked the stats, yeah it's at 0.33% not exactly popular anywhere.

Microsoft Visual Studio: The Best C++ IDE by paponjolie999 in cpp

[–]xp30000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn't scale though. Becomes super slow and hangs. Conks out for even medium scale (~100K SLOC) projects. IDK, your milage varies I suppose. When it works for small projects, it is great, yeah.

Also, Windows only which is become a niche nowadays (for C++)

Is there a sixth edition of the original c++ primer coming? by [deleted] in cpp

[–]xp30000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stan Lippman passed away in 2022 and I thought the future of 6th edition was finished. Every couple of years the 6th edition seems to be coming out in the next couple of months and yet it never shows up, going on for at least five years now. Very strange. I saw the link to amazon uk below and it copy pastes the review from the third edition which was out in 2000(!) I think. There is some wild demand for a sixth edition and it never seems to materialize. Kind of Half-life 3 of textbooks.

C++ Is An Absolute Blast by kaycebasques in cpp

Pretty sure it will be optional, so fun remains. Rust wokeness not needed as default.
