IT Hare on Soft.ware
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

Quick Update on C++ Compiler Bug Hunt (overall, 15 bugs reported, 8 already fixed)

posted by

Some time ago, I wrote a post about kscope – mini-project on finding and reporting bugs in modern C++ compilers. The point was that there is a way to use C++ facilities to make C++ code self-mutating (more strictly – pseudo-randomized using externally supplied ITHARE_KSCOPE_SEED macro), which allows finding certain classes of bugs during randomized […]

As the Day 2 of ACCU2018 is over, here is my report about it. Kotlin ~= Java with a Better Syntax Keynote of Day 2 was about Kotlin (titled “Kotlin/Native – Embracing existing ecosystems”), delivered by Hadi Hariri. While the talk as such was pretty good, I wasn’t convinced that Kotlin is worth the trouble. My takeouts from […]

#ACCU2018 Day 1. From Gender Equality to (kinda-)Quantum Computing, with Threads and C++ copy/move in between

As #ACCU2018 is underway, and as I am here, it would be strange if I wouldn’t use the opportunity to tell about what I like (and don’t like ;-)) here. Diversity in Tech – What Can We Do? Gen Ashley was opening the conference with a keynote speech on “Diversity & Inclusivity in Tech”. Main point: […]
