It can indeed be incredibly confusing for users if that is not disclosed, bordering on hostile.

It is a common pattern to reregister i.e. when in a hurry so you end up with multiple ids. If you also have userids in addition to email addresses, it can easily become a hard problem in itself to solve/remember which email/pw corresponds to which userid. Obfuscating user/password error messages can make this much worse.

Techies often forget what a messy world non-engineers live in.

Isn’t NOT disclosing that security by obscurity?
> Comments going out of date is a shit excuse for not writing comments as far as I’m concerned.

I agree.

> Comments go out of date because of bad developers

I disagree.

Comments can also go out of date because

- developer is having a really shit time atm and their head is not in the game (bad looking after people management)

- developer is on a one day a week contract and doesn’t have the time in their contract to write big header comments explaining nuances (bad strategy)

- developer thought it looked obvious to them but it’s not obvious at review time (developer is being classic human)

- developer is getting pushed to deliver the thing now now now (bad workload management)

Most of those are the result of some decision made by someone who was not the developer (they’re all real cases). And they are the “non-code blockers” that good managers solve for us, so we can focus on getting good stuff done.

I’ve been where it seems like you are at. Blaming others for being bad didn’t help me. I had to lower my expectations of others, keeping my expectations for myself. Then get on about teaching willing people how they could be better. Might be making a few assumptions/projecting a bit there, but that’s my experience with “bad developers”.

Being any type of “leader” is lonely. Whether that’s an official role assigned to you or not. Or if it’s just a skill level thing. No one can quite match up to the expectations or understand what we see and why. But explaining it goes a long way with the right ones.
> Except the compiler still needs to ensure that if an exception bubbles through a noexcept function, std::terminate will be called, even if the exception were caught at some level above.

That's the failsafe I mentioned.

> Generally what a language feature is intended to do is less relevant than what it actually does, over time.

Not true, and again this take misses the whole point. The point of noexcept is to declare that a function does not throw exceptions. If a function is declared as noexcept, the whole point is that it does not throw exceptions. How the runtime handles a violation of this contract is something that only expresses in a bug. The same applies for exceptions thrown in destructors. It makes no sense to describe destructors as something that calls std::terminate .
Yes, it would mean something, and, yes, I would think about the sign. In fact, I did this about a month ago to someone who was selling a service I was actively in the market for. As I said, and I can only say this to you again, I can't understand it for you: the sign is an IQ test. I will not do business with someone who cannot or will not read the sign.

But you can't really repair a glass.

That may be, but rem ember of the three things you should be doing - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle - Recycling is the worst and should be avoided anytime the other two are doable.
I wonder how Duralex compares to Superfest in terms of durability. Duralex is certainly more durable than regular glass, but I have stopped demoing it because it does break sometimes. Our Duralex glasses are also pretty thick, while the Superfest stuff is rather thin.
Short tangential story:

My grandfather many decades ago came home with a pack of "unbreakable" glasses. My grandmother asked why he had bought them. He shrugged and replied "well, if you don't want them..." and threw them all on the floor.

They all broke, of course.

My grandmother was not amused. She was a very serious person. The rest of the family is still laughing on 60 years later.
> As I mentioned above already pre-allocating the required size of data is hard. This leads to many reallocations and memcopy’s during the building of this type.

Well. Reallocations have to happen mostly because the virtual memory space is flat, so you can't just grow your allocations without the possibility to accidentally bumping into some other object. But having non-flat virtual memory space is really inconvenient (Segment selectors! CHERI! And what about muh address arithmetic?) for other reasons, so here we are.

I toyed with the idea of having a specialized memory allocator for incrementally growing, potentially very large buffers by having it space allocations by, say, 16 GiB, and then there would be the "finalize" operation which would hand over the buffer's contents to malloc by asking malloc to allocate the exact final buffer size (rounded up to the page size) and then, instead of memcpy-ing the data, I'd persuade the OS to remap the physical pages of the existing allocation into the virtual address returned by malloc. The original buffer's virtual addresses then would become unmapped and could be reused.

Unfortunately, I couldn't quite persuade the OS to do that with user-available memory management API so it all came to nothing. I believe there was similar research in the early 90s and it failed because it too required custom OS modifications.
This makes no sense. As I said the original poster was saying that g++ and libstdc++ are tangled together and it is not possible to use g++ with another implementation of the C++ libraries. But you can use gcc with other C libraries. As proven by gcc running on other OSs with non glibc libraries.

If anything isn't "independent" here (using your definition) it's the apps that rely on implementation detail - not the C library, the C programming language, or the compiler.
I think it was all fluff. Articles were coming out saying they were close, but nothing ever materialized.
I did door to door selling in the US (as a Brit) as a summer job after graduating. The items weren't super expensive (maybe max $80 in the early '90s).

I wasn't very good at it, but some people did quite well out of it. Admittedly, only earning student-amounts. I don't think you could have fed a family on it.
Some pint glasses designed for lager are made with nucleation sites for the bubbles at the bottom, over time these wear out and make your pint of lager look 'dead' compared to a fresh glass. This is less of an issue with ales and other less carbonated drinks though.

> The end here (presumably) is a healthy ecosystem

More specifically, the end here is a package manager that doesn't randomly start break your builds because a dependency you need can just vanish from the main servers or lose files you expected to be there. That may or may not contribute to a healthy ecosystem, but it definitely contributes to widespread usage of npm.

Despite the project being archived and no longer maintained I continue to use it and recommend it. I use sourcetrail when diving into new codebases to help get a sense of the flow and organization of a program. I've mainly used it for C but also C++ a few times. If you have a compile_commands.json setting up sourcetrail is as simple as telling it where that file is located.

Though I do wonder if issues will start to crop up around new language features in C23 and beyond. We just moved our embedded C project to C23 and I haven't tried sourcetrail on it yet.
> logind provides features developers of software that use them want or like, people aren't adopting it just for the sake of it.

On the contrary, as the article describes, Pottering and the RedHat team pushed all these projects to adopt their stuff, and part of that was making the patches themselves and saying a lot of things that turned out not to be true. It absolutely wasn't an organic success on its technical merits.

This is such a low effort insincere comment I can barely be bothered to respond to it… but tldr; no, it didn’t.

If it was easy, people would have done it. It’s not easy. Phi is not a state of the art model. It does not perform significantly better or even on par with larger models.

Yes, I’ve read the tech reports and used it. No, I don’t believe it has any kind of meaningful bearing on the problem, which is explicitly in question here, which I explicitly posit, again, is basically unsolvable:

Given a large user contributed repository of code (npm), it’s very hard to determine “good” from “bad” in terms of quality at scale, when you have malicious actors.

…I mean, it’s not impossible with enough time and effort I suppose, but if Microsoft, who own npm have a good way of filtering out bad content on it for their language models, you’ve really got to ask why the duck they’re using it for their language models, and you know, not to unduck npm…

I still don't get it.

Everything which occurs involves change. Change implies time and motion and exchange only happen over time. Without time there is no big bang, no "work", no decay, no expansion, no energy propagation, no chemical reactions, no state changes... probably no resistance.

you could try 6400 on memory synced if 6600 boots with 4 dimms which is a very good result. 6600 is into the territory of needing luck with IO die and then also tuning all the voltages.

For the infinity fabric if you're trying to push it checking for performance regressions is a good idea as it delays and retransmits as a form of pseudo ecc when it detects an error. Same with memory if you're not using all custom timings as motherboards can set some very much not good timings if left on auto and sitting on the edge of stability

To me the biggest change has been to amplifiers. Mid range practice amps now sound passible. Digital modelling is pretty good, and helps keep the volume down. That wasn't true before, most practice amps made guitars sound horrible. I always recommend people spend more on the amp than the guitar. I have a motley collection of cheap guitars and they all sound preety good into my Fender Twin... my Classic Vibe strat (as another commenter said) sounds perfect, as does my homemade Tele with homemade pickups.

Neuromorphic hardware is an area where I encountered analogue computing [1]. Biological neurons would be modeled by a leaky integration (resistor/capacitator) unit. The system was 1*10^5 times faster than real-time—too fast to use it for robotics—and consumed little power but was sensitive to temperature (much as our brains). If I recall correctly, the technology has been used at cern, as digital HW would have required too high clock speeds. I have no clue what happened to the technology but there were other attempts at neuromorphic, analogue hardware. It was very exciting to observe and use this research!

Hi friends,

I'm Nick. This is Roometron, my first project that I managed to launch by myself while being a web developer and having a full-time job.

I started working on it in 2019, so it took almost 5 years to deliver a beta version now.

It was both a fun and challenging journey. I didn't expect things to go so slowly, but anyway, I'm happy to announce it's finally launched.

What is Roometron?

Roometron is a tool that converts floor plans into 3D apartments. It is VR-ready, highly performant, fast, efficient, and affordable due to its incredible automation.

Feel free to ask any questions.

Cheers.
