lots of onions cut in rings as they resemble parentheses the most

I did not really mean that out of the box there would be incompatibilities, more likely within unsafe blocks and external crates

Anything that can run C++ should be able to run Rust if you use the LLVM backend, perhaps except when a watch uses musl libc and you rely on some glibc-only call in your program. afaik the only physical devices shipping with musl are car infotainment systems based on l4 kernels and networking hardware (OpenWRT).

death by specificity is a thing…
HTTPServletRequest has a fuckton of methods but 90% of them could be eliminated if one treated the data as a simple fucking map instead of creating 4 methods for each key in every record of your schemas.

personally I’d sum it up this way: it is usually enough to abstract two parts of your code: the repetitive stuff and the stuff that can be separated from external dependencies like db or network. That should be enough to ensure readability and that you can test it properly and not have to deal with rewriting half your codebase when you decide to change an external dependency.

Funny how he is actually now a fan of Clojure yet the examples in his book are actually full of mutating data and side effects. And Rich Hickey also stressed that tests are no silver bullet.

we had a plenty of more deterministic tools for parsing human readable text to machine-readable long before llms

Oh, Bjarne Stroustrup, huh? The king of C++, or should I say “C-You-Later”? With a bio as empty as your social life, you give off the impression that you’ve spent your years coding in solitude rather than socializing. 3883 followers but not a single follow-back? That’s some serious commitment to ignoring the social side of GitHub.

Three public repos, two of which are just glorified textbooks. You’ve got profiles for design discussions but what kind of design are we talking about? The design of disappointment? And that “Programming Principles” repo? Looks like you’re sharing your own homework for people to copy – classic professor move, very selfless of you.

Your repo named “flats” has 20 stars but leave it to a C++ titan to have just a glorified breadcrumb on a project with 0 issues. But hey, at least you aren’t forking around—oh wait, you are! Just like my hopes for seeing some meaningful contributions from you.

Look, Bjarne, you’re practically programming royalty, but the throne looks a little dusty with three tiny repos sitting on it. Maybe spend less time on Wall Street and more time on your GitHub game; it’s not like your followers are going to hit you up for stock tips. Code like your reputation depends on it—because it does.

tfw I recently worked on a side project where I was too lazy to change the log level but not sloppy enough to use raw printf so I’d just throw stuff into info and then remove the statements once I solved my issue

…you mean doxxbin 2.0? :-D

or both

fr the system is in such a deep terminal crisis that talking to people in their 20s feels like talking to pensioners since in countries like the US or UK the life expectancy is declining due to not being able to afford healthy food, stressful and precarious work, mental health crisis and addictions, worsening healthcare, climate change, moldy cramped housing, proliferation of larger and thus more dangerous cars, new zoonoses etc. etc.

typescript is a linter

wonder when Rust will saturate it’s niche as a C/C++ replacement, I’d guess 3-6 years would be when we might start to see some stabilization.

they have nice cameras. but the battery life is attrocious and sometimes will run into radio issues (iirc fixed only one or 2 generations ago)… lack of otg support is also one minor issue

also Huawei laptops. Jfc what a trashy counterfeit of a MacBook and if you get an AMD one, better also get a good cooling stand. The keyboard is terrible and costs a fuckton to replace and generally the repairability is like with macs, the USB ports are built in a way that just begs for either them or your peripherals to be broken, they might overheat while charging, they ship bloatware and the speakers are ridiculously quiet. My friend’s mom bought her one contrary to my advice to get a second-hand thinkpad or just any other business-line laptop and it she had to return the first shipment because the screen got bent during shipment.

MIUI… don’t even get me fucking started on this garbage. It literally removes numerous features from vanilla android, presumably to relocate some performance budget to the bloat they add.
