🚀 Ah yes, the "revolutionary" world of C++ coroutines, where we turn the thrilling task of converting futures into awaitables into a four-minute snooze-fest. 🤯 Don't worry, though, after 696 words, you'll be so enlightened, you'll be converting your next yawn into a snore. 😂

www.ddhigh.com · C++ Coroutines Advanced: Converting std::future to asio::awaitableIn modern C++ development, coroutines have brought revolutionary changes to asynchronous programming. However, when using boost::asio or standalone asio, we often encounter scenarios where we need to convert traditional std::future<T> to asio::awaitable<T>. This article will detail an efficient, thread-safe conversion method.

Paul Graham writes Lisp code that's mostly understandable... unless you try reading it 🤔. With names so short they resemble a cat walking on a keyboard, and a love for deeply nested "if" statements, it's a wonder anyone can decipher his cryptic masterpieces. Apparently, loops are for amateurs 🌀.

🍓Introducing Berry Script: because writing in C is just too mainstream for your microcontroller (that's already struggling to blink an LED) 😅. Now you can enjoy the luxury of a "dynamically typed" language that fits in the palm of a toddler's hand! Just don't expect it to turn your toaster into a supercomputer anytime soon. 🔧😜

I just remembered I wrote a free Rust crash course years ago, I think all of you will find it useful. It's slightly outdated by new syntactic sugar post-1.70 but it's very good for crash course on other stuff nonetheless

Ah, yes, the thrilling tale of translating a colossal math software into #C++20 modules, brimming with groundbreaking insights like "we did it" and "it worked" 😂. This riveting PDF is the comedic equivalent of watching paint dry, but with more acronyms and self-congratulation. 🎉📄

arXiv.orgExperience converting a large mathematical software package written in C++ to C++20 modulesMathematical software has traditionally been built in the form of "packages" that build on each other. A substantial fraction of these packages is written in C++ and, as a consequence, the interface of a package is described in the form of header files that downstream packages and applications can then #include. C++ has inherited this approach towards exporting interfaces from C, but the approach is clunky, unreliable, and slow. As a consequence, C++20 has introduced a "module" system in which packages explicitly export declarations and code that compilers then store in machine-readable form and that downstream users can "import" -- a system in line with what many other programming languages have used for decades. Herein, I explore how one can convert large mathematical software packages written in C++ to this system, using the deal.II finite element library with its around 800,000 lines of code as an example. I describe an approach that allows providing both header-based and module-based interfaces from the same code base, discuss the challenges one encounters, and how modules actually work in practice in a variety of technical and human metrics. The results show that with a non-trivial, but also not prohibitive effort, the conversion to modules is possible, resulting in a reduction in compile time for the converted library itself; on the other hand, for downstream projects, compile times show no clear trend. I end with thoughts about long-term strategies for converting the entire ecosystem of mathematical software over the coming years or decades.

🕵️‍♂️🔍 A noble quest to decode the mysteries of a bot detection script, because, you know, #privacy matters, or something. The author's Herculean effort to untangle #JavaScript spaghetti would be impressive if it weren't so pointlessly convoluted. 🧩🤦‍♂️ Just remember, kids: everything's a string until you need it to be an integer!
