Yes it's slower, but it works. It's being built by one single dad who focused on compatibility before speed.

I'm not convinced that tying the lifetimes into the type system is the correct way to do memory management. I've read too many articles of people being forced into refactoring the entire codebase to implement a feature.

Fil-C is one of the most underrated projects I've ever seen. All this "rewrite it in rust for safety" just sounds stupid when you can compile your C program completely memory safe.

My wife has wanted a security system for a while. The turnkey cloud solutions freak me out. I've done some home automation with home aisstant before, and omg that was configuration slog. But with Claude..... It becomes fun.

I have a prompt to make it not rewrite, but just point out "hey you could rephrase this better." I still keep my tone, but the clanker can identify thoughts that are incomplete. Stuff that spell chekcer's can't do.

He's describing the Cuda execition model.

More interestingly, it's the same model as Intel's Implicit SPMD Program compiler (ispc, God that name is awful). But ispc works across SIMD lanes.

He makes such a good point. This is such a tragedy. Import std would of been an amazing thing that would of led some much less pain, but the committee got greedy.

Like most things in C++, I wish the default was `nothrow`, and you added throw for a function that throws. There's so many functions that don't throw, but aren't marked `nothrow`.

In my experience I've used exceptions for things that really should never fail, and optional for things that are more likely to.

It would be nice if it just became a python interpreter. The concepts and build that CMake has is pretty good, but implementing it is a pain due to the quasi shell syntax.

This article could benefit so much from defining what an ERP is.

The nice thing about chat is it's open ended, the terrible thing is that holy crap I have to write a paragraph describing exactly what I want when I should just be able to hit a button or navigate through a couple menus.

Honestly this seems like a really nice feature. There's been so many times I'm driving and just want to Google something. Used to use Google assistant for that, but I no longer use android auto, so that ended.

I used to think gitlab was the bees knees, but more recently there's just a lack of user awareness. They've had a open issue for years about failing a job due to not finding artifacts. The logs even say "ERROR" I've concluded they're now a marketing organization.

A variant on that I say on one of these is "Do the dumb thing" thing to find the right abstraction. I've seen so mucb code that didn't need to be written if someone had just done the dumb thing. On the flip side, I've also seen so much code that could be so much simpler if after writing the dumb solution, they went back and figured out a better one. I guess the takeaway is: Prototype.

I followed this. And would recommend vkguide.dev for several reasons. The code here is "clean code" pointlessly abstract void fin(void) so each call is a mystery as to what it does. I came away from it asking, why do I do these things?
