Extend C++ for safety

I stopped reading after this. Why do you think C++ is unsafe in the first place? Someone decided ro extend it, and now you cannot even read an error message without finishing an university course on lambda calculus first.

wcsoll is a mispronunciation of wcscoll

At this point russians target whatever will make bigger news. If putin cannot make other countries respect his power, he’ll at least show everyone how unhinged he is.

Considering how the plans for the counterattack were leaked by everyone and their mom last year, this time they did the right thing with secrecy.

Go here and Ctrl-C / Ctrl-V

I especially like ⨹

C₊𝅄⨧⁺ᐩ is used for building firmware for hyperdimensional singularity processors.

You also have CLOCK_MONOTONIC, which could or could not be the number of seconds since last reboot.

To be honest, this mess was directly inherited from POSIX C system calls.

Just do a quick simple sudo apt-get install task-kde-desktop

It’s made worse by the fact C++11 made a lot of solutions for the deep problems in the language. As the C++ tradition dictates, the problems themselves are carefully preserved for backward compatibility, the solutions are like a whole different language.

And Lisp is small - the first Google result provides a Lisp interpreter in 117 lines of Python code.

C++ is OVERWHELMINGLY SUPERIOR, if you ask any professional C++ developer.

Laptop has keyboard, you can type your password with the same speed as pressing your finger and waiting for it to unlock.

Most casual users won’t even know that their laptop has a fingerprint sensor.

When a company needs a proper security, they buy every user a hardware token like Yubikey.

But most of all, it comes down to the tradition. Manufacturers won’t add fingerprint scanner because users do not demand firgerprint scanner. Users do not demand fingerprint scanner because they are used to have no fingerprint scanner. Try removing a fingerprint scanner from a phone, you’ll see your sales drop like a brick.

That’s exactly the difference. The business needs to sell shit, so your management needs you to get the shit done, just good enough quality to sell it, because otherwise you’re burning them money in salary.

Take any of your hobby projects, and ask yourself - ‘How do I sell this thing?’. You’ll arrive at all the same problems you are seeing in your company. Good managers will explain this and let developers make their own decisions and take part in business processes, bad managers will just dictate which buttons you need to press on your keyboard.

Lines of code is a really ancient metric for managers who are totally ignorant of technology, I was just putting it here for emphasis.

I believe the author got the wrong job position. If your job title is something like ‘software developer’, yeah you are measured by the amount of lines of code. You should aim for a senior role such as ‘system architect’ or ‘technical lead’, then you have some kind of guidelines from the sales side of business, and your job is to turn them into requirements and produce the final product, and you choose the tech stack and other details that are inconsequential for sales bug will get the programmers flinging keyboards.

It wasn’t an engine limitation, it was a design choice. Heretic is a colorful game, and it was made using Doom engine.

It’s especially bad in Quake, all monsters look like a moving piece of a wall, and the level design is walls on top of walls with some walls in-between. If not for the revolutionary game engine, it would seriously flop.

The answer is 256-color (8-bit) palette.

That’s why cowboy hats have folded brims.

Yeah, it’s called AMD DASH, but it’s available only on select CPUs, unlike Intel’s variant.

Good bot

edit: I just found this, which seems to be exactly what I need: https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/en/man7/amt-howto.7.html

Ah yes, Intel’s famous security hole.

Some people stopped buying Intel CPUs after this feature was introduced.

It was pretty smart marketing move. Business people hear ‘dot net’ and nod wisely. Tech people hear ‘dot net’ and scrunch their faces. Either way people keep talking about Microsoft Java.
