@CalebChamberla6 You made your NES control deck into a building. Nice

@MatRopert To properly manage this, a language should allow you to manage/query stride, besides size and alignment.

Swift is the only language that I know which does this.

[Borislav Stanimirov @stanimirovb]

@cmake_aid @crascit That's only assuming I'm OK with changing the binary directories. What if they are already configured?

[Borislav Stanimirov @stanimirovb]

Another ranty post about CMake stuff: https://t.co/0Ro5QjnmAP

Help me, @crascit. You're my only hope.

[Borislav Stanimirov @stanimirovb]

@prince_chrismc @crascit Let's say I want to build 20 configure presets. How do I do it?

[Borislav Stanimirov @stanimirovb]

@tsoding ...also, if you make a language named "porn" presumably it will make TIOBE #1 on day 1

[Borislav Stanimirov @stanimirovb]

@tsoding The rank is based on searches. There certainly is a correlation between them and use, but you must view it as "What are most people struggling with". If you make a language so good that nobody ever has any issues with it, it won't make TIOBE, even if everyone starts using it

Old McGoogle had a keynote

In case you missed today's #GoogleIO keynote presentation, we summed it up for you

@pavelpe94122033 @okx What? Does this have anything to do with me?

[Borislav Stanimirov @stanimirovb]

@lefticus As a contributor to std::to_chars for base 3, 6, and 9, I completely disagree

[Borislav Stanimirov @stanimirovb]

@realhashbreaker The difference is not even one byte, but one bit

[Marc Stevens @realhashbreaker]

Here is a 72-byte alphanum MD5 collision with 1-byte difference for fun:
md5("TEXTCOLLBYfGiJUETHQ4hAcKSMd5zYpgqf1YRDhkmxHkhPWptrkoyz28wnI9V0aHeAuaKnak")
=
md5("TEXTCOLLBYfGiJUETHQ4hEcKSMd5zYpgqf1YRDhkmxHkhPWptrkoyz28wnI9V0aHeAuaKnak")

A new (somewhat esoteric) blog post from me:

[Borislav Stanimirov @stanimirovb]

@YossiKreinin @rhythmose It's not *bad*, but if "no UB" is a metric, it's not a huge improvement over C++

[Borislav Stanimirov @stanimirovb]

@rhythmose @YossiKreinin If rust is close enough to "no UB", then Javascript is close enough in perf.

But if you're looking for a good balance of the three, you might wanna check out swift or nim, or crystal, or even C#

[Borislav Stanimirov @stanimirovb]

@YossiKreinin Rust has undefined behavior

[Borislav Stanimirov @stanimirovb]

@madskristensen 1. Can't inherit configs from launch.vs.json
2. No text search for startup items
3. No text search for targets in targets view
4. Can't save state of "Show all files" in solution explorer
