For going from C to Rust, I think you'd just use CString::to_str instead of CString::to_string. I'm pretty sure this just calls std::transmute behind the scenes and doesn't cause an allocation. (In the same way that you gener

imo, only if it's asked in bad faith. maybe that's just worded poorly, but e.g. "oh, thanks! what'd you do differently with this recipe?" or w/e

Sorry, didn't see your reply till now. It's not literally everyone. Immunocompromised people who have managed to survive are often still afraid of catching Covid. How little most people care means that those who are worried have a

RTO in and of itself is hostile. Especially when there is still a highly contagious disease running rampant. It might not _legally_ constitute a hostile work environment, but it is _literally_ hostile.

i remember using the falstad sim constantly at university a decade ago. super helpful and so much more intuitive than any spice thing. cool to see that it's still around and used

this is what those end up being, it's pretty straightforward? fn five() -> i32 { return 5; } fn five() -> i32 { 5; return (); } semicolon changes the expression from returning the res

idk there are a lot of uses for it let dx = { let prev_x = x; x = get_x(); x - prev_x }; often, it's slightly better cpp style scoping blocks if nothing else? there are tons of other little QoL thin

let x = { 3 }; let y = { 3; }; assert_eq!(x, 3); assert_eq!(y, ()); i think it'd also mean having to parse whitespace or newlines without something like that?

is that a problem...? should a city not prioritize its citizens over random vacationers?

i think you might lose people in the transition from the turing tape machine style bootstrapping to using full "words" for operations. it might help to compare it to something like regexes? (obviously they're not similar in t

this is sort of what modern ides (e.g. jetbrains stuff) already do in the bg. when im working on stuff, i almost never navigate via text or the file explorer, i use things like "goto usages or definition" and navigate via what is

it feels like there are two main categories of reaction to big societal issues: one starts with "this is unacceptable, so we will find an alternative," the other says "everything else sounds iffy so we shouldn't even try

everything you listed is still better than giving it to the cops. "these random examples sound bad" isn't really a good argument for doing nothing.

code that uses coroutines is often a lot more straightforward than callbacks. with callbacks, it can also be non-trivial to even find out where / when some delegate was set. it's also often difficult to even navigate / read a

most of the builds are incremental, but even incremental builds still take awhile when it's that massive (linking, modifying a header / template code, etc)

it really depends on what type of game you're making

by jihiggins 3y ago
more or less agree, although this issue isn't even really unique to C++. in practice it's still worth it imo, since debugging callback heavy stuff isn't exactly fun either

obviously many teams do (i've seen incredibuild used pretty often.) that's not a cureall, though.

it's partly because of the engine code. there's even bigger stuff, especially especially if it's a company with any legacy codebase that's 10-20 years old or whatever (e.g. EA / Frostbite.) one i worked on took hour

every time rates come up on this website, people come out of the woodwork claiming "most" developers in every north american country make half a million or more a year. it's hard to not feel like this is just a few people usi

cigarette smoke also has a bunch of other stuff, including MAOIs. it's definitely not _just_ the nicotine. iirc, cigarettes also have additives to make the nicotine hit harder / cross the blood brain barrier faster, which probably
