Not really on 'latency' per se as discussed in the articole but an interesting take on slow terminals is Casey Muratori's famous rant on the topic [0] that led him to write his own terminal [1], a reference renderer for monospace terminal displays that is several orders of magnitude faster than Windows Terminal despite being largely unoptimized.
I feel very sad! Everything I loved about music had always ties with him, his style and his type of production. I was so excited about the upcoming Shellac album and tour. This hits so heavy... :(
I also remember by videogame magazines I was reading back in early 90s that another C++ compiler that was a favourite among devs was Watcom C++ that was released in 88.
Time is the only thing you can't buy.
I've been engineering videogames in C++ for almost 20years working on AAA games and I can tell you that modern C++ is not very appealing to the vast majority of our industry. Modern C++ it's overcomplicated and from what I can see all the best software engineers I met in my careen write very simple C++98 code, maybe a bit of C++11 but that's it. They keep it simple. They don't need a move constructor because they've been already clever enough to solve a prolbem from a different angle. Modern C++ is for experienced C++ developers and it's solving problems that experienced developers know already how to solve without all this extra complexity. And because of that it's keeping away young developers... This new C++ syntax is just a gimmick that we don't need. The C++ community seems it's feeding itself to create a new standard every couple of years. It's just disappointing...
5 years ago I wrote a small python script [1] to help me solve "the same problem". It reads files in a folder and generates an header file containing the files' data and filenames. Is very simple and was to helping me on a job. It has limitations, don't be too hard on me :)
What's wrong with people still using DDD in 2022?
As someone living in Europe right now all the news are about the Russian-Ukraine crisis and it's very unsettling and makes you over anxious and distracted from your daily job. Problem is that working from home makes it so easy to access the news... Anyway I really needed to read these five points right now. Thank you.

Try making this change incrementally. Set a very small goal for the first week. For example you could start forcing to sit at your desk for 5/10 minutes with no distractions and start small just making a list of what you should do. Give you a small goal after you managed to sit down. Slowly increase the time and start doing some exercise. Walk everyday of you can't do anything else. Walk a lot with no distractions, no phone/music, just the environment and your mind. Try to stick to a routine every day if possible. And then slowly increase those minutes at your desk every day.
As an Italian living abroad I can tell you that one or two old Moka always travel with you. There's always space for a Moka in your luggage. My experience is also that the best coffee comes from the old beaten up and a bit burned Moka owned by your old grandma.

Journey to the End of the Night by Louis-Ferdinand Céline
Here's my pick for you. It's a very well writtern and degined piece of code. It's clean and well documented.
- SFML is a simple, fast, cross-platform and object-oriented multimedia API. It provides access to windowing, graphics, audio and network. https://github.com/SFML/SFML
Great video, I think I've watched it at least once a year since I found it.
I know! It's a struggle and it takes a very long time. I'm still practicing too...
I have the same problem and I trying to tackle it bit following a few tricks from speed readers. The main point as far as I can see is to stop your inner voice. You can play classical music while reading (with no lyrics) so that it drowns out your internal voice. Also saying random words to yourself, chew a gum, or counting is used to override your brain from reading back the words in your head. Hope this can help you.
The SFML game engine is very well written and documented, definitely a pleasure to read. https://github.com/SFML/SFML
Interesting article. When I was studying the elf format myself in the past I've also found very useful this poster. https://github.com/corkami/pics/blob/master/binary/elf101/el... The author has made many more for similar binary formats.
As Italian I feel very touched. Hope the body count won't go up. What a tragedy! This is the live streaming from an Italian newspaper https://video.repubblica.it/edizione/genova/genova-crollato-...
You can find their names at the end of the article. Hope this guys will keep working in the field in the future.
In my case I find it very useful to have audio and first line of subtitles in the language I want to learn and second subtitles in my native language.
It's a very old attack (~2000) named NAPTHA. http://www.securiteam.com/securitynews/6B0031F0KA.html
I am paranoid I know, however the first thing I thought is that, as headphone can be used in a reverse way as microphones, that Apple made a secret deal with the NSA (or else...) so they will be able in a Bluetooth range to connect (as Bluetooth is far away from being secure) and listen to people. Those plugs all around are just free and easy tool for spies. Of course they could also listen to non encrypted conversations during phone calls between people using encrypted channels/tools. Am I the only one thinking about that?
