I know you were probably just throwing out the “90%” statistic, but if you take that as a given, the implication that 10% of the libstdc++ bugs on file are legit is a worrisome notion in and of its own right. I don’t want to be responsible

Do not use magic. — Strongly agree. Do not use macros. — Absolutely I agree: I involuntarily grimace whenever I look at and/or things like Boost MPL, or the wartier corners of the Python C-API’s underbelly, etc. I only use macr

I haven’t got a ton of experience in this arena, but what I have done in the past is: 1) incorporate the larger venture as an LLC (“My Company, LLC”); 2) incorporate the specific project as a C-Corp (“My Company’s App, Inc.”) – my partners

The hazy miasma visions of a perfect past can legitimatize themselves, in some, with far far less than 10 to 20 years. Some can do it in a span of weeks – q.v. “Where I Was From,” the memoir by Joan Didion (which specifically is about Calif

Yes, there is a Zen state of C++ programming wherein you, the programmer, surrender to the wisdom of the compiler, and in doing so are liberated from caring about the minutiae of the type system, to be carried forth, skyward, on the twin wi

Good start but -- some C++ stuff is wrong, e.g. in the bit on friend functions, a member function prototype is written with an empty block instead of a terminal ";". Subtle, but you know. Also, more subjectively, std::string is de

Wow this takes me back – 2007, those were the days. Back before so many flagship projects had frankensteined libLLVM into their innards; before every single JavaScript framework was required by law to include at least one CLT whose executab

… also one of the forthcoming Clang projects is a static-analysis tool (á la `clang-format`) for replacing any `auto` decls with the actual typename, so you can write lazy code without appearing unscrupulous at code reviews

These are good rules – as in liquor advertisements, it’s advisable to always accompany a declaration that uses `auto` with a rejoinder in the comments to Please Enjoy Responsibly

I am really into C++ but it has the same problem that Perl has – it does not try to stop anyone from using it to express themselves in an ugly or inscrutable fashion – and this is a frustrating aspect of dealing with the C++ ecosystem/

This is indeed a great intro article. For those interested in seeing examples of LLVM hacking in action, I would recommend reading the source for Halide – https://github.com/halide/Halide – which is an image-processing

By “goads” do you mean “gods” (in, like, the Battlestar Galactica sense) or is that supposed to be “gonads”, as in junk? Just askin.

This is pretty awesome – I’m writing a Python extension in C++ that piggybacks on top of NumPy dtype codes, and I thought that I could “just” use templates to deal with dynamic typing. It proved to be waaaay less straightforward than tha

Python's API structure may be fast and loose, but that is a feature, I think. Its type system may have some threadbare implementation spots – the _sre example from the standard library, for instance – but there are some compelling exam

Plenty – as I recall, the Glock was invented (in the garage, no less) by a guy whose passion for shooting things was on par with the iron-fisted cleverness of Woz and Jobs. Things are pretty hackable, in a very different way from computers.

These tools straddle some Venn circles, so the developer pitch can be confusing. For example, I make use of both ipython and bpython, both of which I refer to as either shells or REPLs; though neither program is a proper shell (in the &#x2F

I did not think a random-thing-generator could possibly make me laugh again, but for me `git-shoot-subtree` was the undeniable breaking point.
