@mpweiher @kruxigt Apples PIM tools and card/caldav implementations are beyond sad. Contacts is unusable and contactsd fits the picture. I genuinely wonder how it can be that slow.

@mpweiher @juliknl Do you mind sharing the experiment?

@seanbax Oh no! We don’t habe mem-safe C++, yet. Please get hired by some company with an enormous C++ codebase that wants memory safety 😎

@krzyzanowskim Try making asan/tsan builds with recent Apple releases 😭 Build engineering is always a pain. I found combinations of autotools/cmake/make/bash and Haskell helpful. Oh and upstream clang 🤣

@ironmagma @DrMickeyLauer @heylookitsalan „What have the romans ever done for us?“

[Oliver Epper ☠️ @OliverEpper]

@kushagra391 @DrMickeyLauer @ironmagma @heylookitsalan I know NFS, Sparc, Solaris, ZFS, dtrace, Java and LDAP and I used all of them. I have yet to use a Facebook technology. I appreciate that they payed Eric Niebler, though. I think std::ranges is great and std::execution seems to be landing, too.

[Oliver Epper ☠️ @OliverEpper]

@DrMickeyLauer @heylookitsalan This is so true!

[Oliver Epper ☠️ @OliverEpper]

@DrMickeyLauer @ironmagma @heylookitsalan dtrace!

[Oliver Epper ☠️ @OliverEpper]

@DrMickeyLauer @davepl1968 I second that! I basically moved from 3.51 to Linux! Because 4.0 wasn’t as good (for me at the time!).

@bitfield @jgndev I have never encountered that green field project that has no dependencies, though. Last time I checked everything that I needed had a C-API. C is a protocol and C++ is really useful when you need to interface with C. When I am willing to put in more effort I‘d consider Swift.

@zachnagengast @RaajeevChandran @krzyzanowskim Please don’t do this, folks. Some background: https://t.co/SqZhU0R3ZM

@RaajeevChandran @krzyzanowskim Which does not even reset the package cache. Check contents of ~/.swiftpm If you have an upstream version same name but different checksum of a binary artifact you need to delete it manually.

[Oliver Epper ☠️ @OliverEpper]

@davepl1968 No. 100% agree.

[Oliver Epper ☠️ @OliverEpper]

@bitfield I produce and use software, obviously. As a user I do care! I will always prefer non-electron over electron and memory-safe over a potential harmful software. I do care less as a programmer than as a user.
