Career 1st. Discovering a potential code gen bug on C++ @VisualStudio compiler... ... While doing a take-home exercise for an interview. (Details TBD since I have to coordinate releasing the code to the public with the interviewer)

Admitting defeat. No problems at all with compilers after all. I wrote a buggy accumulator and the bug manifested when the elements were ordered in a specific way. ... I was iterating over an unordered_map...

So. I'm reading a book about game audio and bump into this quote: ...@JonMikeHolmes, a former colleague now at @RareLtd , ... reminded me of a tip I gave him: “When streaming, it’s always better to suck than to blow.” I was given that same quote from the man himself :)

#cpp to the rescue. How/Why is this NOT UB ? clang 6.0.0 -fsanitize=undefined does not complain

How computers are you actively using in your household? Me any my SO are sitting at 3 laptops, 2 Rpi's and 1 desktop (3 monitors combined between two desks), all in a less than 60m^2 flat!
AMEN!
Code I have seen, and deleted, at least twice yesterday struct MyClass { // useful things // destructor ~MyClass() { } }; Please stop with the empty destructors! Let the compiler do its job! (See also rule of 0 and rule of 5) youtu.be/D8eCPl2zit4

As a Greek developer working in the UK. I once said in a C++ interview "I forgot the question mark at the end (brain fart)". Needless to say, the interviewer was baffled...
I hate Rust, it won't let me prank my coworkers
Quick @developconf summary: 1) Missed @residentveg award yesterday 😭 2) Saw @Gamerboss and @jonny___v both doing great 😂 4) Played some excellent indie games 😃 3) Won an occulus rift s headset on a @facebook Programming contest 🎉 I'd say, not bad at all..

Reading stuff about drug costs in the us on @HackerNews ... "drug costs went from 177.00 a month to $8000.00 a month where it hovered there for a year, then it went up to $43,354.73 a month" response: "At that price, one could probably save money by hiring a dedicated chemist "
