Aplikacji Pocket, znanej niegdyś jako Read It Later, używałem niemal każdego dnia przez ostatnie 12 lat. Paradoksalnie, im mniej czasu miałem na korzystanie z komputera czy telefonu, tym bardziej była użyteczna. Jej zastosowanie? Przechowywała linki do tekstów, które chciałem przeczytać; filmów, które chciałem obejrzeć; podcastów, które mogły mnie zaciekawić.

Önce ana rakamlar. Toplam gelir 593 milyon dolardı, bu da Mozilla’nın 2021’de kazandığından 6 milyon dolar daha az. Yine de 2020 gelirinden 100 milyon dolar daha fazla.

A few years ago, on a whim, I wrote YAIOUOM. YAOIOUM was a static analyzer for Rust that checked that the code was using units of measures correctly, e.g. a distance in meters is not a distance in centimeters, dividing meters by seconds gave you a value in m / s (aka m * s^-1). YAIOUOM was an example of a refinement type system, i.e. a type system that does its work after another type system has already done its work. It was purely static, users could add new units in about one line of code, ...| Il y a du thé renversé au bord de la table !

I’ve blogged about surprising bits of the C++ object model before, and I’m back with more. Executive summary: Don’t use mozilla::PodZero or mozilla::PodArrayZero. Modern C++ provides better alternatives that don’t presume that writing all zeroes will always correctly initialize the given type. Use constructors, in-class member initializers, and functions like std::fill to zero member fields. […]| Where's Walden?
