Fond of Generic Programming.

The choice to break out access to registers on a PCI optical fiber card fifteen years prior now enables to easily substitute a register-compatible USB variant of said card, using a vast part of the same fiber card register nitty gritty with both card types.
Text in screenshot: // DualFiberCard< ChannelToRegister > // // Enables to use different ways to access registers on the card, e.g. // plain memory mapped PCI registers or using a 'spy' or logging variant thereof. // Or a register-compatible USB card a colleague is developing. // PCI: typedef DualFiberPciCard< MemoryMappedAccess< pci_data_t, pci_address_t >> FiberCard; // USB: typedef DualFiberUsbCard< DualFiberUsbDevice< usb_data_t, usb_i2c_address_t >> FiberCard;

Welp, that 'AI' revolution is going great.

Seems like whoever is behind these 'toys' should be in prison for child endangerment and potentially worse things to do with underage adult activities.

Cartoon showing various types of insects walking towards the edge of a cliff and falling off. At the bottom of the cliff we see a heap of already dead insects. The final insect in the row in a dung beetle, not rolling a ball of dung, but the earth.

Alle Nederlanders krijgen binnenkort een boekje in de brievenbus getiteld: 'Bereid je voor op een noodsituatie'.

Dat is niet om angst te zaaien, zegt demissionair minister Brekelmans, wel moeten mensen bewuster worden van dreiging uit met name Rusland.

Raises the question of whether we should even have to pay for games if they are just machine-generated these days anyway.

What would we be paying for? The compute time on 'AI' datacentre systems? Definitely not for the creative talent.

It takes one or more capable, energetic individuals to land much desired (quotation needed :) practical and recognisable algorithms for strings in a future C++ standard, I'm well aware.

It never stops being chilling that some people feel that certain groups of humans do not deserve the full set of human rights.

You don't get to pick and choose how human someone else is. Not even if it's official policy, like the Jim Crow laws.

"The dinosaurs strike back."
Screenschot from the presentation "The Past, Present and Future of Programming Languages" by Kevlin Henney at ACCU Conference 2025: TIOBE Index for March 2025 March Headline: The dinosaurs strike back It is interesting to see that very old languages are sneaking into the TIOBE index top 20. Fortran and Delphi are competing for a top 10 position, whereas COBOL and this month's new entry Ada are a little bit further down the list. All of them show an uptrend. Why is this? Why aren't the new and promising languages shining instead? I think that it has to do with the many vital legacy systems that keep the world running. Most of them are developed with the aid of these dinosaur languages. Now that the last of the core developers of these systems are about to retire, companies avoid any risk and choose to keep the existing systems and even extend them rather than replacing them by newer systems based on more modern languages. Note that we name these languages dinosaurs, but they have evolved over time and are pretty up to date. All of them have new language definitions. Check out Fortran 2023, Delphi 12 (released in 2024), Ada 2023 and COBOL 2023. We might frown to see these languages being in the TIOBE index top 20, but they definitely serve a purpose and deserve credit.
