@websloprat Hard to say. One can say, it's a flex being in tech now as a Junior and managing to find a job anyway in this crazy market. But I'm glad I learned lots of stuff pre-AI. It helped a lot to solidify fundamental knowledge.

@ChShersh is it really a flex if you were in tech before the pandemic though

"Compilers are deterministic" Lol nope! (but I agree with your conclusion.)
Ben Dickson@bendee983

Compilers are deterministic. Give them the same code with the same compiler settings, and you'll always receive the same binary. You can take responsibility for your software at the code level. LLMs, on the other hand, are stochastic. Even if you set the temperature to zero, you're likely to get different responses on the same prompt. Therefore, you need to understand the code it produces if you want to take ownership and responsibility for it.

@devabram Only because I worked on getting GHC to be deterministic because it very much isn't :p

@AndrewGossage33 Yeah, I work with a single-line text, I don’t have newlines, so why do extra work. Fortunately, taking care of them as well them is straightforward.

@ChShersh Are you intentionally leaving newlines or am I missing something?

You're not a true C++ dev if you haven't written your own implementation of string 'trim' at least once. Here's a version with zero allocations.

@endingwithali Every morning here I see an unhinged tweet and I’m trying to guess whether it’s a copypasta, a parody, or just the normal state of the world.

I think I’m willing to give up on the fact that a man will not take me to get fork lift certified as a first date Instead I am willing to settle on a picnic but it’s us, a whole rotisserie chicken each, a stack of 100 unhinged questions (generated by our AI of choice using our account history), and a bottle of wine (or case of spindrift).

fun fact: c++ templates run at compile time. you can compute fibonacci, sort a list, or build a type-safe state machine before main() is ever called.

@schteppe I wonder how many people noticed. I'm not even trying to be subtle at this point, yet I'm surprised how many people replied seriously.

C++20 introduced for-range loops with an init-statement. I propose to support increment statements in for-range loops in C++29. I call it Default Enumerated Range loops, or DE-ranged loops for short.

These are my drafts for installing OCaml on Windows for Ubuntu under WSL. I was planning to write a blog post, but I'm too lazy, so here you go.

@yama_codes OCaml is a really nice language. It's very pragmatic and ergonomic. When I don't need the lowest possible latency, I go for OCaml. Otherwise, C++

@ChShersh How's OCaml as a language? Does it have definitive advantages over C++ or C?

@OSINTCap This is just a trade-off, as usual in programming. You gain portability, but you might lose some performance. Different languages provide different options, so you can always pick the tool with the best set of trade-offs for you.

@ChShersh A java application or python application are running on their own VM (Java Virtual Machine, Python Virtual Machine) and are packaged as an executable with that VM included. I understand the portability reason, but things would be better, if they were tailored for each platforms.

why is it that most software tools/libraries/frameworks for building have an abstraction and relies on virtual machines, why couldn't they just make it so it runs directly on bare metal.... why do they always do this. No it's not design requirement, they're just retarded!! WHY!?
