If you're in trouble and cannot find an answer to a question which goes beyond Stack Overflow...

If you have a not-so-usual solution for your problems but need to justify it to your boss...

If you like to think on your own rather than blindly follow "common wisdom" and "profound truth"...

...then 'No Bugs' Hare on Soft.ware might be the right place for you.

Your mileage may vary. Batteries not included

For most of us, programming (or more generally – software development) is all the life is about.

IT Hares are not different. And they have more than just quite a few bits to share about programming…

C++: On Using int*_t as Overload and Template Parameters

Quote:	“We decide which set of types we’re using (fundamental or int*_t), and use it consistently”
Another Quote:	“The only thing we’re doing here, is changing the name of the type, NOT its behavior”

Quote:	“Allocator-based serialization for (Re)Actors is extremely fast (for x64 – around tens of ms per 100MB of state)”
Another Quote:	“Per-(Re)Actor allocators can be implemented without any changes within (Re)Actor itself (i.e. all the necessary changes can be confined to Infrastructure Code).”

Quote:	“with std::reduce() such code, while it compiles at least under MSVC, MAY occasionally provide wrong results”
Another Quote:	“if you happen to need something beyond that – take a deep breath and allocate at least several months to understand how does parallelism really work under the hood.”

Quote:	“as long as serial code provides good-enough response times from end-user perspective – DON’T PARALLELIZE”
Another Quote:	“out of all the premature optimizations, premature parallelization is the most premature one”

Abstract:	“I made an experiment which demonstrates Big Fat Dangers(tm) of implying that parallelization can be made as simple as just adding a policy parameter to your std:: call.”
Quote:	“it is still necessary to understand what we’re doing”

Quote:	“Let’s consider our brain as a CPU, which consists of the control unit, ALU, and 7+-2 registers.”
Another Quote:	“Moving C++ one step farther from being a brainfuck is IMNSHO always a Good Thing(tm)”

Quote:	“we DID get a perfectly usable C++ dialect which is also 100% safe against memory corruption and against memory leaks.”
Another Quote:	“we can (and often SHOULD) have different approaches to safety of the Reactor::react() and the rest of the code.”
