I'm just so bummed that multiple vaults are pretty much unusable. I can't sync my sensitive work notes. But I want to sync general programming notes between work and other PCs. But multiple vaults hardly work. The just open in a new window.
Other than that, I love so many things about the program. Just linking and graphs are weird and strangely overrated. Search and tags still rules over everything imo

It really is the specific wavelength. Higher or lower is easier. But euv has tricky properties which make it feasible for Lithography (although just barely it you have a look at the optics) but hard to produce with high intensities.

I wrote a mildly popular header only library with exactly this pattern once. Then there came a guy adding cmake. I didn't really know it back then so I didn't stop him. The downloads went to literally zero lol. Cmake is an extremely vocal minority.

He rubs me the wrong way, too. Curl is overhyped and a pain to work with. And he's getting high on the "success" while crying about not being paid for something he offers for free. I think Americans have a nice phrase about having cake and eating it, too.
No. People who are loud do that because they want to be loud. They want to hurt people. And they get off to weaklings being polite. The law is too slow and too forgiving for these destructive forces. We need to bring violence back in a big way.
Re:Inlining – The Ultimate Optimisation
on Tuesday January 13, 2026 @03:52PM (#46607781)
That's the reason why polymorphism is sometimes described as slow. It's not really slow... But it prevents inlining and therefore always is a function call as opposed to sometimes no function call. It's not the polymorphism is slow. It's that alternatives can sometimes compile to zero
Re:Don't fall into the anti-AI hype

But LLMs aren't advertised as some future thing. They're advertised as being almighty and replacing devs in great numbers. And that's simply not true. It's a fad like 3D movies
Re:Don't fall into the anti-AI hype
on Sunday January 11, 2026 @08:31AM (#46575608)
Another one of these sickening pieces. Framing opposition to an expensive tech that doesn't work as "anti". I tried letting the absolutely newest models write c++ today again. Gpt 5.1 and opus 4.5. single function with two or less input parameters, a nice return value, doing simple geometry with the glm library. Yes the code worked. But I took as long fixing the weird parts as it would have taken me myself. And I still don't trust the result, because reviewing is so much harder than writing.
There's still no point. Resharper and clang-tidy still have more value than all LLMs. It's not just a hype, it's a bloody cult, right besides those nft and church of COVID people.
