it's 2001. open-source Linux is better than Windows on servers. Steve Ballmer calls Linux "cancer", "communist" and asks for it to be regulated away
it's 2026. open-source LLMs are better than ChatGPT/Claude on costs. they are called "decelerationist" and "communist"
First they came for your server RAM, and we said nothing, because we don’t operate servers.
Then they came for our laptop RAM with electron and we said nothing because cross platform.
Then they came for our battery and CPU and there was nobody left to stand up to us.
I’ll be speaking at ACCU (C++) on Sea in June and sharing a new library!
C++26 is bringing us compile-time reflection, but what if we built on these capabilities to create new runtime reflection techniques?
Find out during my talk:
CallMeMaybe: Building Modern Runtime Reflection via C++26
After having used Claude for some work stuff, I can say that it surprises me that it actually works for backend and Frontend stuff. But for C++, it is the opposite, it produces incorrect code quite often, but it is useful for drafting ideas and researching tho. :)
@Elrromanov@MetrobusCDMX La usé una vez (primera y última), le invadieron el carril exclusivo y tardé un montón en llegar. Desde entonces, tomo metro para ir/venir al aeropuerto cada vez que voy a CDMX (algunas veces Uber, pero sólo para ir al aeropuerto).
Debemos resistir a la mercantilización de las necesidades humanas esenciales. El agua, los alimentos y la asistencia sanitaria no pueden estar subordinados a consideraciones de mercado o a intereses geopolíticos. El acceso a una alimentación adecuada es un derecho humano fundamental arraigado en la dignidad de cada persona. Responder a esta necesidad no solo sirve para aliviar el sufrimiento, sino también para afrontar las causas que subyacen a la inestabilidad geopolítica. De hecho, la seguridad alimentaria es un componente esencial de la seguridad global e integral. https://t.co/xj8YIAaaKi
I don’t care what people say, Modern C++ is starting to get really cool.
For example, C++26 compile-time reflection uses this neat little trick to represent heterogeneous data with a single, scalar value (std::meta::info).
This value is *technically* an ID into the compiler's AST. The neat part is you can steal this technique for representing runtime entities as well!
Next Thursday I’m giving a talk in the UK at ACCU on Sea, where I'll show how to use the static metafunctions to help build a homogeneous runtime reflection registry.
@Fullantho@ElenoAM No me sorprende que en Corea del Sur sea tan alto el porcentaje de jóvenes que viven con sus padres, tienen un sistema de rentas horrible, pues debes dar un depósito demasiado alto, o vivir en un goshiwon
Compiler construction is one of the oldest, best understood CS fields. It's decades of work by the brightest minds, and it's grounded in logic, informed by experience and strictly deterministic.
Comparing that with LLM-based coding agents is just wrong.

@leonpalafox Narita es un aeropuerto no tan bueno, y que esté lejos lo hace más incómodo. :/
Aún así, tanto el Skyliner como el NEX son cómodos y con asiento reservado
@M12crew@omaryesahel No sé si has viajado a esos lados, pero definitivamente haces bastante menos tiempo. ICH a Seoul Station son ~43min en AREX, de Narita a Tokyo Station son ~50-60min y en Skyliner poco más de 40min
@DanDan174174@wafflefry19@MattisRedacted I've been to those 3 cities too, Tokyo and Osaka are less polluted than Beijing, which wasn't that bad (at least when I went a couple of weeks ago). For QoL, I'm not sure, talked with a few 中国人 and they told me that things got bad since Trump
