modern c++ is c with templates and an angry horde of nerds strangles you if you use a pointer or throw an exception

yeah i know but c++ programmers are dumb

there’s a book called “modern c++” that I think is good idk I never read it

once you have a basic command of the language read and follow these

c++'s unique strength is writing parameterized programs that generate specific programs, which is something that most people don't want to do most of the time. they want to write the specific programs directly. it takes a ton of code and consideration of minutiae to write a "correct" C++ template that is suitable for inclusion in a library and people get salty over that fact because they just want to parameterize over the type of some operation and not worry about every potential interaction with other client code's reference types etc

luckily i haven't had to write c++ recently but any template that i'm writing that's not going into a library (which is all of them since i don't write libraries) is probably not going to cover every edge case wrt perfect forwarding and other poo poo that will end up getting compiled out or not even instantiated in the first place because im only instantiating it with ints. it's basically a case of premature optimization if you're working overtime to satisfy client constraints that you made up yourself for no reason

unless you use unsafePerformJo of course

i took linear algebra in 11th grade

us has the best education in the world. mostly for plutocrats tho

not a plutocrat myself, my parents just bought the cheapest place they could find in a weirdo school district that also served plutocrats

it was deffo worth the 200k extra they paid already

its not so much about unmanaged resources used by the long running task (though you absolutely need to worry about them), but more about the task itself. You need to manage the total number of those long running tasks which is definitely doable, but its one more thing to remember to do properly in your code. Plus your long running tasks need to be incredibly durable as the application pool may terminate at any time and its not going to wait for your tasks to finish (unless you do some kind of hacky stuff).

The design of asp.net is centered around requests being totally independent of other requests. When you adhere to this design it makes things much easier to maintain. Its not designed to handle long running tasks, so there are no mechanisms to handle them built into the framework. This means you need to design them yourself which, while possible, is more code to maintain in a system not designed for what you're doing.

Aside from the code maintenance benefits of separating short and long running tasks, you make it easier to understand the performance profiles of your 2 systems. This makes it easier to scale the overall system since you've separated 2 totally different task profiles into totally different subsystems.

i'm pretty sure the secret to programming success is hubris and ignorance. always believing that you know what you're doing and it won't be very hard to reach your goal, until finally you get there after 20x the originally estimated effort

yeah your compiler should be warning if the first argument to printf is not a constant


uh this isn’t actually a thing is it?

the moral of the story is: whatever you do it's gonna suck in some way and you'll wish you did something else, but you have to deal with that and not get super paranoid about what ifs

or get seriously stoned/drunk and convince yourself there's a multi verse and there's an alternate you out there that did this stuff and is successful, handsome and who makes good posts

When I was learning cmake a year ago, I remember An Introduction to Modern CMake being pretty good and useful

Professional CMake is quite thorough and modern. It's written by a maintainer.

cloud is good because it's an opex cost instead of a capex cost and the rich people who own you like that a lot

see also i18n for internationalization, a11y for accessibility, etc.

it's a pretty stupid naming trend but it caught on and doesn't hurt anything except my "old man yells at govcloud" bits so 🤷‍♀️

Krankenstyle posted:

yeah imo don't use javascript or derivatives. stick to static pages

DELETE CASCADE posted:

sounds like you first need to figure out why that is (or why they think so, anyway)


npm sucks so i doubt it will actually solve your problem

mystes posted:

So right now it's not really an SPA but instead you're using asp.net to serve some static pages as well as a bunch of javascript files manually compiled from typescript for individual pages?

mystes posted:

Are the typescript/react parts talking to the server via a rest api right now? Or are you using react just to enhance static pages even though that seems extremely overkill?

ctps: trying to work out why the gently caress maven-javadoc-plugin keeps giving an "unmappable character for encoding windows-1252" error when i have explicitly set the encoding to UTF-8 everywhere I can find to change it, and indeed mvn -X claims that it is going to use UTF-8 for everything ... right before it tries to map something into windows-1252 and dies horribly

i mean probably the easy solution is "don't use non-ASCII characters in your comments ever" but i want to

pretty sure machine "learning" has some role here. last time you typed "exce" you chose the Excel result so it remembers that for that query. if you've never typed "excel" all the way out before, it has no history to check. then you choose "search web for excel" by accident and that gets remembered for next time

though i'm not sure why, absent other information, a web search is prioritized over an exact prefix match of an installed application. that seems unhelpful
