Yes but you also say that about C++ 😂😂

Taylor security tips are the best! (basically common sense, but not necessarily common practice) 👑👑

Imbal Levi on new C++26 static reflection that has been voted in Saturday! We have a new powerful tool in our toolbox 😍

A great developer conference should include a retro computing talk. @matt.godbolt.org is speaking on ZX Spectrum emulation using ultra-modern C++ at #cpponsea 2025! @cpponsea.bsky.social

Iconic movie 🍿

This is you regular reminder that windows still sux. It rebooted my PC without asking and in the process lost my unsaved notepad document I was drafting a process report in for the entire evening. Thanks for nothing M$. #save_often #save_early #microsoft_sux

When you know, you know. #portable #coding

that's one large bunny ..wow..

I will keep an eye out ☺️

What options exist these days for "native" UI development with C++ on Windows?

#cpp #cplusplus #ui #windows

Are you familiar with WinUI? Or is it more that you'd want to move away from C++/CLI or move because it's "newer"?

The long awaited C++ Under the Sea YouTube channel is now out! You can glimpse a shot of when Bryce, @lefticus.bsky.social , @janwilmans.bsky.social and I recorded Episode 206 of ADSP there 🎙️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBf3...

Too late, notepad has fallen too 😭, but you can still turn it off in settings

Same, it was so intense, I loved it but I had to go unwind after 😎

In general, but specifically in engineering: Trust, but Verify 👍 also Dont mistake chatgpt for intelligence. AI is just a misnomer for machine learning.

The Study That Should Alarm You In early 2025, a team from Carnegie Mellon and Microsoft Research published something every OSINT analyst should read, but most haven’t. It was a large-scale survey of 319 knowledge workers using GenAI tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, and Gemini in their daily work. What they found is a warning shot. The study revealed a clear pattern: the more confidence users had in the AI, the less they thought critically. In contrast, the more confident they were in themselves, the more likely they were to question the output, verify the information, and think deeply about the task. Let that sink in: Confidence in AI replaces confidence in self and with it, the thinking disappears. Here’s the punchline: High trust in GenAI consistently led to reduced critical thinking and less cognitive effort across the board. Participants weren’t lazy. They were experienced professionals. But when the tool responded quickly, confidently, and clearly they stopped doing the hard part. They stopped questioning. Stopped verifying. Stopped applying the mental friction that separates automation from investigation. The scary part is that many users still believed they were thinking critically, because GenAI made them feel smart.

You are not missing out, no knowing is better is almost every way.

TIL you can right-click the windows-button on Windows 11 and it has all I ever wanted from the start-menu!
😀

this person really knows their raccoon recipes.

In a world of Matts, be a Derek.

that is a long one

But also,
other languages: no you cant do that.

C++: here are 10 ways to do that with trade-offs depending on your compiler and requirements

Yea it's hard to keep following, the delulu is everywhere.

cheers 🥳

ok thats certainly an opinion, I never saw it before and I also dont put expiration dates on humor.

Why? its not news but its still funny 🤣🤣

Strange, I feel horrible even looking at unmanaged allocation, C feels super unsafe to me and I have a similar uncanny anxiety in C# because scopes don't control resources. Very enerving.
