If we survive Y2026…

All of our modern infrastructure is.

That’s how the C++ code should have looked all the time. And the amount of people that get surprised and complain about this is just more evidence that nobody should write C++. Ever.

That one is easy. Page breaks are just some hidden code you can delete.

Go try extending a numbered list with paragraph breaks inside it.

Yes, you can pull the “more options” thing and run it.

Windows will block any software that isn’t popular. Unless the developer pays Microsoft.

Are you still taking about macs? Because that’s Windows.

That’s why you know that if your code hasn’t put up a fight yet, it’s because it’s saving its energy.

The problem is that “the same issue” here means “there’s any error at all with the MS Store”. Any discussion about there will be useless.

Meetings! Meetings as far as the eyes can see!

There’s no escape, there’s no rest. Life is only meetings now.

Well, round numbers will indeed make the math easier.

Yes, people some times live up to 120 years. You should start at 60.

Yeah, by default kill sends sigterm, and not kill the process at all.

It’s the correct behavior, sending sigkill by default would be harmful. Now take a look at how killall worked in Solaris (before it adopted GNU).

The NT kernel was all built to emulate object orientation (read Smalltalk, not C++) style message passing. That’s because it was the 90s, and it’s the new technology kernel.

So yeah, expect everything to have more flexibility sending data around, and no standardization at all so you can’t have any generic functionality.

Even worse. You’d get from Windows 7 to Windows 11.

Why, indeed?

Yeah, it’s because it’s not the school that is bullshit.

It’s some of the stuff people do there. At the same time, some aren’t. And we are incredibly bad at telling the difference, and worse than useless on doing that at scale.

Just let C++ die already, and stop pretending it’s a reasonable thing to compare other languages with.

If you can’t do it in C, you are better in Java, Python, Haskell, whatever.

The length of variable and function names should be proportional to the size of the code that can potentially call them. And preferably segmented in namespaces, explicit modules, or something like that.

I belong to all of them. Same question.

Or at least say what’s broke…

The worse people are the ones that generate most of the interactions, so every side is biased.
