Silence is not an option.

@olson_dan Also amusing is that many large c++ projects build tooling to create unity builds to get the wall time improvements that come from giving the compiler chunkier translation units, especially on windows where the cost of process creation is higher.

I'm not sure about this critique. Crate as TU has some downsides with respect to distributed building. But C approach is a mess and not a standard to hold other things to.

@olson_dan Oh yah, that's a pretty big size for toml, no wonder you're having issues. Mine isn't optimized or speed, was just curious since it is quite a bit simpler.

@Ca1ne In this case any given run probably only needs a small percentage of the data so if I could strip it down with another tool before deserializing relevant sections with serde that would speed it up greatly. But this is a complicated optimization I believe.

I need a faster toml deserializer for Rust. toml::from_str is taking over 5s on one of my files. Maybe I shouldn't have used toml for this...

Tiny Glade is out NOW on Steam (Win & Linux) 💗🎉 Thank you so much for following the development and being so supportive of our little diorama builder. We hope you have fun, and I can’t wait to see what you make 🤩 If you post your glades, add #TinyGlade so I can find 'em :D

Rarely have I seen AI described so succinctly.

Today mark the first day where we're publicly talking about our upcoming GPU benchmark suite called EVOLVE! We'll be at SIGGRAPH to spread the word, if you're interested in talking to us directly please book a spot: calendly.com/jasper-travers… Otherwise: evolvebenchmark.com

@FlohOfWoe @RuiMVFigueira en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/…* "The behavior is undefined if this->has_value() is false." Never change C++.

I haven't actively used C++ exceptions for ~10 years, mostly because the codebases I worked on don't use them. With all I've learned the last 10 years, one of these days I need to give it another go with some pet project. Thoughts?

@ernerfeldt Actually it's 2 fewer since `to_ascii_lowercase` on a `str` is just a String. ;)

@ernerfeldt Camino ftw

@Bobby_Anguelov Good to know it's not a phenomenon unique to Stockholm, literally every driver shitty enough for me to take note of in the past year has been a Tesla. Notice the light is red. He's doing a left turn. No signal. Fucking idiot.

I swear all the bmw drivers have traded in their cars for Teslas. I've never seen such entitled and just awful driving. Like pedestrian crossings don't seem to exist for them. Either blasting right through them or parking across them.

@ArvidGerstmann Except when a crate just invokes cmake. 🥲

Cargo is the best C++ build system.

@mitsuhiko I also find this attitude strange, particularly in the case of CI, where it's often the case that compiling a tool from source takes longer than the actual project/repo itself.

Judging by the audience there is not massive appetite for pre-distributed binaries. I find this odd. Y’all are installing a binary compiler. Let’s rather invest into better supply chain security (eg: cargo vet etc.) and give binaries on cargo more of a try. #eurorust

@rovarma Heh, me literally 2 weeks ago #L44" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/EmbarkStudios/…

@Ca1ne Not so fast, sir! I've spent the last hour or so trying to figure out how to cancel a blocking function (epoll_wait) without resorting to timeouts and the answer (so far) really seems to be "send a global signal and wait for EINTR". Which...not great!

Have been doing a lot of low-level Linux work the last few weeks, and I gotta admit: being able to just go look at the source code when you're not entirely sure what a kernel function does internally is pretty awesome. No more guessing; just read the code and know for sure.

@rocallahan Don't forget x64, thanks to Microsoft.

Is it really too much to ask that a CPU architecture have a single universally used abbreviation? aarch64 vs arm64, x86_64 vs amd64 :-(

@olson_dan @Bobby_Anguelov It's possible to get an exemption for specific projects in your contract, at least before you are hired, but I literally only know one person who had it.

@Bobby_Anguelov Could have sworn it came up in a past interview process with them. Thanks for clarification.

Does EA really not own side projects? I thought that was definitely a thing.
