A new artificial intelligence (AI) system has been developed to help ordinary untrained people to design and create applications and software for smartphones and personal computers. Visual Basic returns? (Now with AI!)
Of course there's an AI...

A total waste of time, no different than endlessly polishing a PowerPoint slide deck. Just build a console app!

Its benefit isn’t immediately obvious unless you’ve been deep down the rabbit hole of high-performance library authoring, so I’ve written this post to show you how it can make certain generic types more efficient without requiring huge amounts of template magic. I don't even know how to translate all those qualifiers

I am pretty interested in the performance and I will re-read this carefully and try to do some tests, but I have to admit that I haven't understood the half of what he was explaining in the first read...

It seems to me they started with a contrived example and went off the rails with it. I have used unions many times and I would never, ever use one like that and it is reason for all of the rest of the gyrations. That was almost entirely useless to me. The one useful thing was a reminder about non-trivial constructors.

Some people love arcana. To speak your language, I have no patience for rabbit holes.  But I'm thankful that these people exist for those few situations in which their obsessions are valuable.

C++ can be prone to rabbit holes. As the song goes, one thing leads to another. I've occasionally spent an hour or two dealing with the ripple effects of a seemingly innocuous change. That's what I find annoying. That phrase, "seemingly innocuous" can really take a bite out of your backside.

What's increasingly becoming my favorite eye-roll target with the promoters of and people who write about the newest generation of make a website without programming products is that they're all fixated on threats to full on custom development; when the real category at most risk is are existing platforms that are already >95% of the way there like Wordpress and other build your own website by slapping together eleventy jillion plugin products.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I still have that first Windows box Bill is holding, although its not in very good shape. It's been squished in the bottom of a bigger box for a while. I got it "free" with a mouse. I vaguely remember installing it, being unimpressed, and removing it. I didn't install Windows again until v3.1.
