What’s the story for Rust-C++ interoperability these days? That’s what kills adoption. Most C++ devs I know like the idea of Rust, but no one is going to go rewrite 30 years of working code. It needs to be something you can incorporate grad

If you learn to play, over time your ear will improve and you won’t be tone deaf anymore.

To be fair to the committee, upgrading C++ compilers is already a chore, even with the changes as small as they are. Would you rather spend time updating your lambdas because they changed how capture works (a real breakage not long ago), or

I spent quite a while trying to learn Common Lisp and I really wanted to like it, but I’m not sure I’d recommend it. The first problem is finding good learning materials, as most are out of print. On the language side people complain about

Setting aside the “why” that everyone is so focused on, I want to know, how? I can’t get Claude to do anything even a fraction of this complexity. How are people setting up their agents, Claude.md, etc to do such big projects? There are a l

I didn’t realize IEEE had courses. I’m curious if anyone can comment on the general quality and if they have any good ones.

I don’t understand why the Steam Machine is getting so much hate. The form factor is amazing and a huge part of the value proposition. It’s slightly bigger than a box of Kleenex and you can put it next to the TV, on your desk, etc. I’m temp

It’s covered in the risk factors section at the end.

It does get easy to read, but then you unlock a deeper level of misery which is trying to work out the semantics. Stuff like implicit type conversions, remembering the rule of 3 or 5 to avoid your std::moves secretly becoming a copy, unwitt

I tried setting up mu4e once. It wasn’t worth it. It took me literally a few hours of reading random blog posts to figure out the configuration, and that was only to download email. Never got around to setting up sending them, which is a to

The biggest tip is to read fun books. Pick up an easy dumb page turner like The Da Vinci Code, and reading won’t be a chore. Save the non-fiction and literary fiction for when you get more in the habit. Also, it’s ok to give up on a book if

I was on the same boat as you. The “Learn Fusion 360 in 30 Days” series on YouTube is awesome. In the first video you make a working Lego brick, and after a couple of hours I could make my own simple parts. Complex objects still seem hard,

Amazing write up! Everyone at work is itching to try Rust, but I think what’s killing adoption is that it’s not very clear how to gradually transition a code base. We have a few million lines of C++, some of it written 25 years ago. A full

There was some article about it on HN a while ago. If I remember right the problem was that its bioavailability is super low. You can take all you want, but only a tiny percent makes it through to get absorbed. In theory you could increase

Many negative comments here, but the notion that food might be less nutritious is certainly interesting and worth exploring, even if this article isn’t the end all be all. As mentioned in there, apples are sold up to a year old, and I know

I discovered Rory Sutherland this year and he’s awesome. I recommend to anyone checking out his TED talk or book.

In the past 3 weeks I blocked, no exaggeration, about 350 of these same text messages. They’re almost all for republican fundraisers, and almost always either unscrupulous or borderline fraudulent. Stuff like “50X match if you donate now!”,

Just for another data point, I haven’t gotten Wayland screen sharing to work reliably at all. I tried it in Fedora 35 and Ubuntu 22, where Wayland is the default. On Fedora it just didn’t work, and on Ubuntu, Firefox would crash every time.

The author just needed to get a second opinion. I showed this to a veterinarian I know, and she said this is pretty obvious from a quick glance at the bloodwork. In fact she's skeptical that the first vet didn't see it, and rather
