ИТМО × ВЦИОМ

People who complain about Rust's build times have never worked on a big C++ project.

plasma-desktop, 44KLOC C++, 32KLOC QML. 7 minutes on my 12-thread machine.

rustc, 610KLOC Rust, ??? more KLOC of Rust in dependencies, 4m20s (nice) on the same machine,

Non-incremental release build for both.

Even if we assume that ~300 of rustc's dependencies brought in 0 additional code, while QML expanded 10x when converted to C++, this is still approximately twice as long for 2 times less code.

К сожалению, пишут мне не только из Стэнфорда

boost ебанулись и вместо того, чтобы воспользоваться variadic template и perfect forwarding, генерят с помощью m4 вот такую фигню на все комбинации const? volatile? на каждый из аргументов, коих {1,2,3}.

Хз, может эти мудаки поддерживают pre-C++11.

Понимаю

Сегодня зима началась. Наверное логично, учитывая, что на днях солнцестояние было.

В этом году ИТМО каким-то образом умудряется стабильно оставаться без свободных крючков в гардеробе, хотя его вместительность в последний раз меняли уже несколько лет назад.

There's nothing quite like waking up at 4 PM

SCP fanfiction or Epstein files?

This was SCP fanfiction. "There Is No Antimemetics Division," to be precise.

It's pretty good. Like "Memento" (the Nolan's one) but on steroids.

I have no idea why pretty much the entirety of this chapter got the Epstein files treatment in the PDF I was reading, when this is where a lot of world-building takes place, and, imo, really crucial pieces of it.

But whatever. I had actually read several pieces of it a few years ago, on the SCP foundation website itself. Namely, two SCP entries related to this. And they were one of my all-time favorites, so I'm glad there turned out to be more similar stuff out there.

For comedic effect, I should make this post again in a few days, as if I don't remember ever writing it.
