Seems unlikely that virus is so prevalent to infect multiple family members that do not cohabitate but nonetheless show genetic link for BD.

Indeed Eigen is a popular library for its expression templates that make many math operations much faster.

Hm, I’m not sure where to start with your assessment here. Your comments on sorting don’t really seem relevant, I don’t think you’re referring to the same kind of compile time programming we’ve been discussing. There’s a difference between

You can cast void pointers in C++ as well, and it is very easy. The difference is that usually you would use a specific kind of cast that makes this clear to the reader.

You’re talking about really two different issues here. I don’t think anyone would suggest templates can’t get complicated. But they are certainly the doorway into maximum performance over C.

Strange thing to say, to be honest. Many of the most performance-critical industries are heavy on C++, not C. Games, finance, high-frequency trading, where every microsecond is worth huge money -- these are typically C++ shops. The strictne

A properly formed modern C++ program doesn’t really use memcpy. Most idioms from the C language have a much stricter counterpart that is part of the C++ language. You’ve made a few comments now about a language that you don’t seem to actual

I’m not sure what you’re talking about, to be honest. First, what does this have to do with the type system? Second, C++ typically uses vectors, which know exactly where they end, with the option to use an indexing into them that will throw

This implies that the genetic link is somewhat of a coincidence, the family members just happen to have all caught the same virus? Is that the right interpretation? Because BD does seem to come in waves in families.

The C++ type system is vastly stricter than C.

Sigh. I wondered if someone would come in here and do that. The entire reason I did not paste it myself is because this paragraph has a much different effect on the reader after they have read the rest of the article and understand the back

Very thrilling read, and the last paragraph sent chills up through my back.

We've built our SAAS on Keli for the last six years and have been amazed by the productivity. Each year we are able to make a net reduction in lines of code. We are now down to only 2 lines, and we expect next year to be the most impre

Even the word "enum" is quite overloaded; i.e. compare Swift's robust class-like enums with those of C or C++.

I installed Catalina on one machine, kept the other on Mojave. I can't tell the difference between the two unless I'm looking hard, and both are equally reliable for me.

It's not just software -- it's services of a wide variety of types. I.e. Apple TV+ is not software. Having your own search engine allows you to integrate with services more tightly and enhance that business.

To suggest that “bug wise“ it is the same between Mac and Linux is a bit of a stretch. I work in a team where the developers are mostly split between Mac and Ubuntu. Guess which ones often have problems joining zoom meetings or attaching th

Regardless, it’s quite pretentious to expect people to put forth creative and expressive energy for something they’re possibly going to end up paying you money for anyway.

Enjoyable to see these mockery sites. The original Hey marketing was just asking to get mocked. Hopefully they take it in good spirit. The lesson learned I think is, don’t act like God unless you want to get mocked for it.
