Why We Love and Hate CMake: Making C++ Builds Easier with Rho & vcpkg
Are you tired of wrestling with CMake files, endless boilerplate, and confusing build systems? You're not alone! In this insightful interview, we sit down with Nicole Patricia Mazzuca, build system and package management expert at Remarkable (and former Microsoft vcpkg contributor), to dive deep into the world of C++ build tooling. Nicole shares practical advice, lessons learned from maintaining massive codebases, and her vision for empowering all C++ developers to own their build systems without fear. Whether you’re an experienced build engineer or new to C++, this conversation will help you rethink how you approach project builds. Key topics covered: - Why CMake is both loved and hated by developers - Real-world pain points with CMake, Make, AutoTools, and MSBuild - How vcpkg helps streamline developer dependencies across platforms - Introducing Rho — a new CMake library designed to make build files simpler, more maintainable, and less intimidating for non-experts...

Another nice perk of using macOS and UTM with a Windows VM, is when the clipboard between the two operating systems stops working.
I have to paste from macOS into a clipboard.txt in a public folder, and then read it from Windows in UTM.
These things should always work ... *sigh*.

My latest "drama" with the Emoji picker on macOS has morphed into something more ... sinister.
Previously the emoji picker wouldn't show up. Now it shows up, but the emoji is not pasted in the app.
🤦🏻♂️ (had to copy this from a different app)
It's mostly silly Microsoft apps like Edge or Teams.

I will also play the 𝘐𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘢 𝘑𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘊𝘪𝘳𝘤𝘭𝘦 game, since it won't run on any Apple Silicon computer.
