ok, fixed contact info: https://gitlab.peach-bun.com/snippets/120/raw

for the paranoid, the current SHA-256 of that snippet is ef81bc8943f25a46b5e664d98887b71202b07861fa9d81f3fb67cd8c5e8a4445

Okay, "NaCl" is one of the most unexpectedly overloaded terms in computer. What the hell, techdustry

So far I know it means:

- Networking and Cryptography Library
- Native Client
- this includeOS thing

Yes, you do drag in the entirety of the OS services with #include <os>. No word on what they'll change to name to if modules take off

TIL includeOS, a unikernel library written in C++: http://www.includeos.org/

I first saw it in this cppcon talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4etEwG2_LY

fixing a watch and this looks pretty neat outside of its case

WHOA HEY

Qt Creator 4.6.0 has a big UX improvement, check this screenshot out.

That's Qt Creator inferring constructor arguments through std::make_unique, which is a variadic template function. I don't know if they special-cased std::make_unique, but it's still really nice to see this.

I didn't see this earlier because I didn't use std::make_unique that much, and I didn't use it that much because its ergonomics sucked. This fixes a lot of it.

(CLion 2018.1 doesn't seem to do this yet?)

LB that site also has links to implementations of DNSCurve, which is something I've been looking for for a while

The E in Ello stands for "edgy"

(What do you suppose "S****" was supposed to beep out?)

Kerrygold makes a cheese that combines aged cheddar with Irish whiskey. (There may be others out there, but this is just what I saw at the market.) This is really awesome on eggs: melts quickly and adds a nice sharp zing.

I mean most cheeses are good on eggs, this one just stood out as being particularly nice

TIL MissKey (https://github.com/syuilo/misskey), another piece of software that speaks ActivityPub

I guess the "shots fired" response to this is "yes, it's called engineering"

Is there a school of engineering that, instead of worrying about "leaky abstractions", instead just accepts that no abstraction is perfect and instead tries to make going up and down abstractions as painless as possible

I feel like this is getting into a Bret Victor essay

I can't tell if writing iterators is naturally difficult, if C++ just makes it harder than it has to be, or if I'm just not cosmic brain enough to do this without having two references open

You can stop the fun by lazy-unmounting the share (e.g. umount -l /media/smb), at least

My favorite system-wide Linux error is when you have a CIFS share mounted, change networks, and then random things start to freeze up or crash

I don't even know what's wrong, all I know is that it's annoying and hilarious. it's like nobody ever thought you'd take a laptop from place A to place B

starting "The Color of Success: Asian Americans and the Origins of the Model Minority" by Ellen Wu - https://press.princeton.edu/titles/10134.html; seems like an interesting book
