intea··on Clang Format Tanks Performance
But the root cause here lies with GCC or rather glibc and not the language? C++ is but a tool, just like every other language.
intea··on Sunsetting Python 2
>in 2008, we announced that we would sunset Python 2 in 2015

More like 12 years by now :-)

intea··on Beginner's Guide to Linkers (2010)
Can you elaborate here? One of the Ls in DLL stands for library after all.
intea··on What happens when you launch Google Chrome for the first time?
Thanks for bringing that up. Im wondering why they went through all that trouble though. Are there no alternatives to GA?

Actually most modern hypervisors allow nested virtualization.

intea··on Fork: A fast and friendly Git client for Mac and Windows
A closed source git client, that's almost an oxymoron.
intea··on x86 API Hooking Demystified (2012)
If you're writing a hooking library / a hook you should be keeping track of where they are. It's a big hook, that is true but it's also one that doesn't spoil a register and is pretty straightforward to add. It's a tradeoff.

intea··on A Kernel Engineer at Microsoft's Answer to “What Do You Think about ReactOS?”
So you're using their "leaked" or reverse engineered information? That's just IP theft with extra steps.
intea··on Open-Source Slack Alternative Mattermost Gets $50M Funding
I wish there was something as simple to use as Discord but selfhosted. The closest thing I've found so far was rocket.chat which is only halfway done or Matrix which has close to no admin tools available.
intea··on It’s Time for a Modern Synthesis Kernel
inline syscalls? How would that work?
intea··on A Kernel Engineer at Microsoft's Answer to “What Do You Think about ReactOS?”
Honestly I always thought that that was an open secret of ReactOS. How else are you gonna achieve binary compatibility with a closed source OS. Of course there's symbols but those only get you so far.
intea··on Microsoft developer reveals Linux is now more used on Azure than Windows Server
That's very unlikely atleast in the near future due to things like https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/?p=98755

intea··on Matrix 1.0 and the Matrix.org Foundation
Thanks!
intea··on Matrix 1.0 and the Matrix.org Foundation
Setting the max filetransfer size to 0 still showed the button and allowed uploading of 0 byte files. Probably just a UX oversight but annoying nonetheless. Not having a simple to use admin or even moderator interface makes Matrix unusable for my purposes for the time being.
intea··on Matrix 1.0 and the Matrix.org Foundation
Are there decent Admin tools for hosting your own homeserver now? Last time I checked it out I could neither disable file uploads completely nor remove users from the server short of editing the database.
intea··on Show HN: Leg – Simple, elegant logging for Rust
Since when does simple and elegant mean removing vital features like timestamps and proper loglevels while adding pointless emojis into the log? How am I going to search for errors in the log from an SSH console? Search the emoji online, copy & paste it into the shell and hope it works?

Logs aren't meant to be pretty nor elegant. They're meant to help the user fix the problem in a timely manner.

The WSL processes are called pico processes.

intea··on Show HN: Xmake, a modern C/C++ build utility
Probably just bad experiences with it in the past and the lacking IDEs. e.g. PyCharm makes writing Python a breeze.
intea··on Show HN: Xmake, a modern C/C++ build utility
I'll check it out, thanks.
intea··on Show HN: Xmake, a modern C/C++ build utility
Im not a fan of LUA. The syntax of XMake.lua reads somewhat like CMake but easier to understand. What I'd really like to see is a build system in Python (3!) utilizing objects and dictionaries for tasks like this should be a breeze.
intea··on Writing an OS in Rust: Introduction to Paging
C++ does not have garbage collection of any sorts. Objects leave the scope and are destroyed, however the order in which they are destroyed is not defined by the standard.

intea··on C++17 constexpr Compile-time Ray Tracer (2017)
C++ compilation is massively slowed down by the sheer existence of the preprocessor. This could be drastically improved by the usage of modules which are coming soon(tm).

Both MSVC and Clang already support them experimentally fwiw.
