I love how WASM is the thing that finally blurred the line between Web and Native programming, formely two realms isolated from each other for a long time. This both develops better awareness of how the code is executed by the hardware, whi

Euro-Office codebase will, obviously, not diverge significantly from the original product. If they planned fundamental changes, they would have started from scratch because taking over a huge project and rewriting its basis is an ever more

Yes, but they can't do anything about it anyway. The FSF resolution on this matter, though, essentially means that they might just as well pull Euro-Office patches into OnlyOffice. So in the end, the product will be formed by combined

I can't help but notice that this, in effect, establishes collaboration between EU and Russian devs over a common open-source office suite, because both projects can easily copy future changes from each other. The irony is staggering,

Nevertheless, it's also React team that came up with prefixes like __SECRET_INTERNALS_DO_NOT_USE_OR_YOU_WILL_BE_FIRED in their codebase because people couldn't stop messing with the internals. So any documentation about the new co

It's quite frightening to see how an enormous 120KLOC pull request gets merged at once with very little public discussion or coverage by the devs after just 3 months (which IMO is very little time in relation to the amount of code). Th

char* is an exception to strict aliasing rules of C++ precisely to facilitate the author's use case. You would still need a reinterpret_cast to make it work, but it's actually good because it makes the intent clearer, and the cast

There is also an independent open-source interpreter for 1C language (which is to this day reported to be extensively used in Russian enterprise) implemented in C#. I haven't tried it myself, but just though that it's also worth m

> std::string_view or std::span should be used instead That is for when the owner is a std::string or an owning range respectively. But a raw pointer does still make sense as a non-owning view over a single element, doesn't it? I&#x

Why does any mention of C++ nowadays turn into a Rust debate? These can coexist even in a single project via C ABI. Also, despite the vast syntax and semantic differences, an experienced dev will be able to apply most of their knowledge fro

Since you are already making use of LLMs, you could also ask questions about the code that it produces. I've been asking Google's AI overview and Deepseek while doing my first ever C++26 project, usually not to produce any code bu
