Having Google behind this ambitous new language as C++ successor is a big deal. Lets see if this gain popularity. Though I am personally more interested in Rust at this point.
Carbon, a successor language to C++ was announced at @CppNorth today by @chandlerc1024.
I'm very excited about this project's potential. You can learn more about Carbon and get involved on GitHub.

The floating point types, f32 and f64, now have a method called `total_cmp` to compare them using a total ordering that includes NaN, instead of the usual partial ordering in which NaN is unordered.
This is especially useful when sorting floats.

Another day in JS world: latest Chrome update broke all profile traces and then all pages makes it super hard to find and install older versions of chrome/chromium. Oh, wow.
As the general chair of https://t.co/YhYQFCbb1h I have faced a persistent problem – finding organizers of the ICFP programming contents. I think I just do not know the right people personally, and the time is short! 1/43 @icfp_conference@icfpcontest2021@icfpcontest2020
It's really fascinating when #AdventOfCode inspires changes/bugfixes to the #RustLang. The most recent example is O(n^2) complexity of finding median in array: https://t.co/X9012av87n
@MTY_FDR@GergelyOrosz Could you share any examples of that? From my experience DP with memoization is typically the optimal which is hard to beat otherwise.
Working more with #Rust I keep discovering very cool parts of it. For example, you can define immutable variable and assign it later inside if- or match- block. The compiler then will enforce that it is initialized in each branch.
This is happening: the first fully autonomous drive by @Cruise in SF with only a passenger in the car (no safety driver at all!). The future is closer than you think!
1) Monday night was a night I’ll never forget. I’m still speechless. I got to take the first ride, by anyone, ever, in a *driverless* robotaxi on the streets of San Francisco.
This was officially ride #1 for @Cruise. Full story and vids below.

That moment when writing UI on ICFPC 2021 went better than algorithmic programming and you end up solving all problem manually to ~top25 place #icfpcontest#icfpc
