Offline Weekend

This is just a quick one to say that I spent an offline weekend, and would like to apologize to those waiting for the weekly roundup. I’ll get to that tomorrow, having just dealt with the backlog and started work on a project with a new client....

cpp-netlib: Moving Away from Header-Only

Today I pushed the initial step for cpp-netlib to move away from having a header-only design. Yes, the project has come to a point where a decision had to be made: lower compile-time requirements and wider acceptance, or high compile-time requirements...

cpp-netlib: Demolition Day

Yesterday I wrote about some of the things I’m trying to do to reduce the compile times of cpp-netlib — at least in the tests. Today was mostly demolition day for me. This means today I spent most of my time tearing big things (tests) down...

cpp-netlib: Reducing Compilation Times

Earlier today I spent some time to get paperwork done for my application to get an Australian Visa. I’ll write more about the reason for that at a later time, but right now I want to write about a glaring issue (the white elephant in the room I...

Generic Programming Barriers to Entry

I thought about the subject a little more and tried to look into myself and what was stopping me from learning generic programming earlier in my C++ programming experience. One recent interview I had still sold C++ as an Object Oriented Programming language...

This is a quick post, mostly just letting everyone know that Boost Bug Sprint has begun — if you’re looking to contribute to the Boost development effort, or just want to see what’s going on, you can help in various ways. The easiest...

So it’s a Sunday and I’ve decided to write-up a few things about what I’ve found in the web about C++. Here are a few interesting links and discussions that went on while you weren’t looking during the week — some of them...

Using Generic Programming in cpp-netlib

I wanted to write about this yesterday but I was dealing with the end-of-week correspondence and some phone calls I had to take. Somehow yesterday I wasn’t feeling up to it, so today I spent some time with cpp-netlib development and refactored an...

Call Day

Today I pretty much spent most of it taking phone calls and responding to correspondence. I also took some time to have a good afternoon with my wife and daughter. Things have been moving on many fronts and unfortunately I didn’t spend enough time...

Detox Day

Unfortunately I had quite a few things going on Nov. 24, and I wasn’t able to write anything significant. I’m dealing with a few health issues at the moment and I took some time to detox. I should have a post up about some interesting things...

Green Computing with C++

Have you heard of green computing? It’s basically the concept of lowering the energy requirements of computers in order to reduce the carbon footprint of datacenter operations and desktop/mobile applications. The idea is that since computers already...

Life After OOP

It’s no secret that I abhor Object Oriented Programming especially if it’s used to solve every problem that needs a computer program to solve. I don’t know what the guys thinking about OOP were drinking or smoking when they sought to...

C++ Hating

I got a chance to read an interesting, well-written, but badly inaccurate and almost exclusively provocative piece of writing over at TechRepublic. The article — like countless articles on the web already — try to predict the demise of C+...
