I love how OP directly borrowed the plot of The Social Network by scraping the campus directory for a student rating system. And somehow it's playing out in the exact same way. > I had scr…

I don't think he's being disingenuous. OP is transparent they started a campus gossip website inspired by The Social Network . > I had scraped data for all students at IIT Delhi, and mad…

I've enjoyed this, honestly. There's a whole short-term pain/long-term gain tradeoff to risking healers that adds more strategy to the campaign. > I know you can kinda cheese it by …

Highly suggest connecting with one of the lead developers, Charles Dang/Vultraz, if you have any C++ jobs in the USA. He's been a developer on Wesnoth since 2012 but only graduated universit…

I've spent US$16 700 last month. I made an autoscaling K8s cluster for distributed compilation/caching on a large C++ project. I also heavily modified the build system to use a forked versio…

If you're doing single-core builds, you will get impressive speedups from unity builds. This is because C++ compilers spends a lot of time redundantly parsing the same headers included in differe…

I'm referring to this: https://github.com/bazelbuild/remote-apis Once you get a very large C++ project with several thousand compilation jobs over hundreds of devs, you need…

You're not supposed to distribute the precompiled module file. You are supposed to distribute the source code of the module. Header-only projects are the best to convert to modules because you ca…

That is what I'm doing so I can get distributed builds working. It sucks and has taken me days of work.

I haven't used it. That being said, while it looks better than CMake, for anything professional I need remote execution support to deviate from the industry standard. Zig doesn't have that…

"Stable ABI" is a joke in C++ because you can't keep ABI and change the implementation of a templated function, which blocks improvements to the standard library. In C, ABI = API becaus…

C++ builds are extremely slow because they are not correct. I'm doing a migration of a large codebase from local builds to remote execution and I constantly have bugs with mystery shared library …

You don't on new projects. CMake + ninja has support for modules on gcc, clang, and MSVC. This should be your default stack on any small-to-medium sized C++ project. Bazel, the default pick for v…

No, because most major compilers don't support header units, much less standard library header units from C++26. What'll spur adoption is cmake adopting Clang's two-step compilation mod…

I wouldn't blame reddit, it's what you get when you ask several thousand teenagers to give collective relationship advice.

r/AmItheAsshole is biased towards breaking off relationships rather than fixing them. They also hate social obligations. e.g. If the OP is asking "I ghosted my friend in AA who insulted me d…
