I think the parent's point is that we started with raw pointers to implement PIMPL, then we had std::unique_ptr, and now we have std::indirect. So there are now three different ways how PIMPL can be implemented, each has its gotcha&#x2

It's often used in libraries where you need to guarantee ABI compatibility. Fixing a bug or implementing a feature may require adding a new member into the class, which would change its size (thus break ABI compatibility). PIMPL is the

I sometimes wonder how these systems are being tested on the road and whether there's any feedback from the test drivers, or what kind of morons are there saying "this is completely fine, exactly like intended" when they read

I learned HTML thanks to Operation Flashpoint so that I could write mission briefings in the editor...one thing led to another, and I have a successful career as a software developer. Thanks, Bohemia Interactive.

For me (as an EU citizen), sovereignty is about being independent of companies operating under law that I have no control of (can't vote in the US) and is veeery unpredictible (Trump administration). I don't want to wake up one da

One thing I haven't seen mentioned here yet and really like about OpenRouter is their openrouter "meta" model, that automatically routes the prompt to an appropriately capable model. Saves me a ton of money on not routing eve

Maybe I'm missing something, but how would GTA6 source leak really harm Rockstar? I mean it's unlikely it would be possible to compile a full working game from the leak, and even if so, it's such a non-trivial task, that I do

I used to have a git post-checkout hook that set the repo identity based on the repo origin url [0] on checkout - maybe there's some post-clone hook these days, but 10 years ago when I wrote it there was only post-checkout hook. [0] h

Happened on the first day of my first on-call rotation - a cert for one of the key services expired. Autorenew failed, because one of the subdomains on the cert no longer resolved. The main lesson we took from this was: you absolutely need

I believe every sensible open-source developer strives to keep their software performant. To me, a performance regression is a bug like any other and I got and fix it. Sure, there's no warranty guaranteed in the license, yet no-one who

The question is, does Mozilla rigorously review every single update of every featured extension? Or did they just vet it once, and a malicious developer may now introduce data collection or similar "features" though a minor update

I always enjoyed being a metal head, the music is the main reason of course (I like it), but the community is a very big aspect of it too. I always thought about metal shows and festivals as a "safe space", where people can really

I would guess this is just to make the explanation of the bug easier. In real world, the futurelock could occur even with very short locks, it just wouldn't be so deterministic. Having a minimal reproducer that you have to run a thousa

I was involved in porting some software to Qt back when Photon was deprecated, and I always found the system very interesting. This is the first time I'm actually learning more about its history. Thanks for the great read. I was also a

It's more about having the LLM give you a plan of what it wants to do and how it wants to do it, rather rhan code. Then you can mold the plan to fit what you really want. Then you ask it to actually start writing code. Even Claude Code

This is my gripe with C++ - I have to have a CI pipeline that runs a job with clang-tidy (which is slow), jobs with asan, memsan and tsan, each running the entire test-suite, and ideally also one job for clang and one for gcc to catch all

The problem I found about the adaptors is that you can't charge your phone and listen to music at the same time. I have an older car with an old stereo where the only external input is via jack. Worked perfectly fine with my old phone.

The one thing that sold me on Rust (going from C++) was that there is a single way errors are propagated: the Result type. No need to bother with exceptions, functions returning bool, functions returning 0 on success, functions returning 0

With pi-hole, you can also block telemetry from smart devices (TVs, dish washers and stuff), and if you run it on a VPN that your phone is connected to, you can also block ads and tracking in phone apps. As mentioned in the article, pi-hole

Amazing, now could I just get a way to do asynchronous network requests in two lines of code, like I have with other languages? Honestly, it seems to me like the committee is constantly chasing the easy bits but is failing to address the bi

What I miss mentioned here is AUR and the fact that almost any software that you can think of is packaged there. You read about some cool software (like git-bug I learned about today here on HN), you do `yay -S cool-software` and it's

Syscalls are provided by the operating system, it doesn't matter which C library you use. The C library usually just provides a nice API to call the syscall. And it it doesn't, you can still call it directly via syscall(1).
