What should be a developer's focus? Performance or Clean code? "Both? Both. Both is good."
If someone puts a gun to my head and I do have to pick, I'm going with, "it depends".

Clean code, first last and always.
Unless you are writing performance-critical code, the compiler will do a decent job of optimization (code inlining, etc.). Choosing the best algorithm for your data is something that the compiler can't do, and will pay much greater dividends.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Agreed. This was the only thing keeping me in "it depends": Daniel Pfeffer wrote: Unless you are writing performance-critical code

Intel is rethinking how it releases — and brands — its semiconductor innovations If the other guy stands still, we're sure to pass them!

We want to be the home for .NET based Community Toolkits which are partnering the community with engineers, Microsoft MVPs, and the teams working on those technologies. "It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood"

They are focused on exploiting pain points in code analysis and reverse-engineering. Do they also keep tigers?
I'm sure that Go and Rust developers love to think of themselves as 'exotic' developers.

After returning from the edge of space, Jeff Bezos has personally waded into Blue Origin's dispute with NASA over its decision to award a $2.9 billion lunar lander contract to Elon Musk's SpaceX. If you can't beat 'em, pay people to pick you

Back in the day, that was called a bribe.

Bezos has only himself to blame. While SpaceX has been aggressive, Blue Origin has been taking it's time. (I'm not a big fan of Musk, but he did good by hiring Gwynne Shotwell and letting her run the company while he spouts off.)

The No More Ransom project celebrates its fifth anniversary today after helping over six million ransomware victims recover their files and saving them almost €1 billion in ransomware payments. They have a particular set of skills

Do they get a % of what they save others?

Despite C++’s downward trend on the TIOBE Programming Community index since 2001, the language’s fall from the coveted top two slots in 2020, vociferous and persistent claims that C++ is “dead like COBOL,” and the inroads the Rust is making in developer circles – C++ is still as viable, vital and relevant as ever. It's the pluses
|
|
|
|
|
It because it's object oriented!  (referring to your other post below.)
|
|
|
|
|
And it can do amazing template tricks! What's not to love?
|

Even COBOL isn't dead yet, so C++ will probably be around for a long time. Besides the legacy inertia, it has good performance and isn't paternalistic. For some things, it's the clear choice.
|
|

|
|
It's deterministic--things happen predictably--with gobs of high quality extra stuff available.
(Except for template meta-programming, it's also really straight forward. Yes, sometimes the syntatic sugar gets crazy, but less so than many other languages.)

I really need to work on my reading comprehension. I first read your post as implying template stuff was straight-forward. After I picked my jaw up, I realized you meant the opposite. Still, with my heart condition…

Some inaccuracies in that article, such as the list of legacy app's written in C++, at least two of which were (and predominantly remain) written in C. Most notably UNIX and the Linux kernel. IIRC, muchof My SQL remain in C too.

Microsoft announced in June that developers would soon be able to update software distributed by the new Windows 11 Microsoft Store via in-app updates instead of relying on the platform's update process. Good thing no one uses those anymore
|
|
|
|

If only the distribution is affected... well, it should not be a big lost.
If they block win32 in Windows 11... that's going to be a big "ouch" that will probably bounce back to them.

Mercifully, it does just look like distribution. It will probably end up meaning the store is as useful as today, and people will get their apps the usual way.
