  • makes me wonder why that is. priorities? uncleared questions in implementation strategy? or is the inner compiler structure of GCC just in a state that takes more time and effort to rewrite in order support something like modules? Like did GCC naturally have a greater implementation space distance to modules than MSVC and Clang had?

    I generally wonder how much of that is a factor which decides which compiler gets which features first. If one compiler already does something very similar to feature X, it’s just a matter of a few code line changes, or in extreme cases different default compiler flags. contrast that to a complete rewrite of one of the core algorithms and/or data structures.



  • In my case, it’s a mixture of life wiki, personal project wiki, videogame wiki, and journal (not daily, but more for a few significant days).

    Like, there’s this cluster with all the people that I know, pointing to their respective communities, and who participated in which annual social gathering (which have their own articles with pictures and videos). With one (usually rather empty) article per person, I can just link to them from other relevant places.

    Then there are all my (software) projects and generally intellectually interesting stuff I thought about, which I wrote down over the years (which took me a few weeks to digitalize/find/sort once I got my hands on obsidian).

    In terms of video games, it’s either the knowledge/realizations I made or rough copies from some online wiki articles. Considering my internet provider is horrible and unreliable, having an offline source can be really nice sometimes.

    In general, it’s really useful to support my shitty memory. Having detailed descriptions of what I’ve made or what happened just makes it easier to re-experience certain moments.
