Where did you hear that it got pushed back out? It's going strong as far as I can tell.

Tao is so incredibly ahead of the curve in this regard that you trying to accuse him of not "going with the program" is a bit silly. He's not an AI Luddite by any means.

absolutely crazy to make this a "paid tier user" feature. the primary difference between the free and the paid versions should be the amount of inference quota you have access to

This does sound a lot like there's a real risk of C++ imploding, in some form or another. (Arguably, it has been in that state for a while now.) I personally agree that contracts probably shouldn't be in the standard, but this who

I don't think this goal was ever realistic, it was just a marketing pitch to get a foot in the door.

I run Linux as my primary operating system and I have never even heard of eBPF! I'd be surprised if most end users have.

Afaik Herb Sutter largely stopped working on Cppfront a few months ago, and was never quite supposed to be a real thing, just a personal playground (or so Sutter claims at this point, anyway). Afaik Carbon is at this point the only attempt

Stupid question, can't this trivially be solved by having a movable constructor / builder type that then gets turned into a non-movable type when built?

It's not about having to remember them, it's that you shouldn't waste these short single symbols on operations that are only rarely used. This stuff (especially the ternary) are a step backwards. There is just no reason to wa

It's their own blog and they can do whatever they feel like to break up the flow. I think it's quite charming tbh

Sort specifically is kind of a weird example, but C++ is full of awful naming. std::map (which is not a hash map, which is what most people would expect), std::move (which doesn't move), std::vector (which is not a vector), and std::ve

Yes, with the trade-off of essentially requiring exceptions, which are also banned in some codebases.

Is it really, though, or is it just in comparison to C++? Tbh I never expected that experiment to go anywhere. I guess that leaves Carbon (and large scale efforts to rewrite C++ in Rust).

May I ask how far you got? It's not a good representation of industrial engineering, for sure, but I do like the actual logistics management and "how do I deal with my technical debt" later in the game. I think most of this o

Strategic vision. The common sentiment is that you didn't really want to do that. You expect higher returns from only having a single base model.

How about just panic? If a wrap happens and you don't expect it, it's almost always a severe bug. Then, dedicated APIs for wrapping behavior where you expect it to happen.

Not OP, but I've had the same conclusion. It's a bit cheeky to call it a puzzle game, but I don't think it's strictly wrong. Imo it's better to approach Demon's Souls as an exploration puzzle game with RPG stuf

No shade thrown, but I always preferred my game with some amount of story or artistic ambition beyond mere puzzling. I'd take Void Stranger or probably even Deadly Rooms of Death: The Second Sky over Stephen's Sausage Roll any day

I think that a "minimal viable baseline" type implementation should not break the ODR. In Rust these types of proposals are common, in C++ less so. The incredibly tedious release process encourages everyone to put in just as much

Well, I've been unable to follow you as well, then. Obviously if they'd used a different type of syntax (e.g. using # for annotations), those would also be compatible with the language spec, and other implementations would still

It's an overloaded comment. I am personally quite fine with it, I don't think it's bad. but it is an overloaded comment.
