I made a magic_enum abi stub for this: https://github.com/psyclobe/magic-enum-reflect

Cause its dead simple. Shell out, run a quick sed or something, then compile it in. It is quite amazing what 'magic meta' stuff you can do with that shit. Meanwhile 10 years in we are finally getting reflection.....

They are gross but... effective so shrug

Pretty much. Was hoping it would've been a 'reflection slam dunk' but no... same 'ol same 'ol.

Absolutely spot on, easier, and way more effective

Man that aucks was looking forward to some kind of speed improvement. Using magic enum atm and I guess we'll continue to do so.

C++ build times are hard pill to swallow when migrating from c. This is just another reason we'll probably stick to writing c as t the company where I work. It's like asking someone to give up instant compilation for cleaner easier to read apps?

Also now that we have cleanup handlers in c (destructors) even less of a reason to move...

My well being is judged now by whether I took the time to watch a movie with my daughter, take my son out to fly a rc plane and so forth... so easy to dig into the daily grind ... not sure what life is about but I sure a shit know misery it born from abandoning your kids and the sickness that brings inside is insidious.

If I do nothing both will be in their rooms all day. Makes me sick.

> For example, Cmake can use vcpkg to install a package but then I still have to write more cmake to actually find and use it.

I have this solved at our company. We have a tool built on top of vcpkg, to manage internal + external dependencies. Our cmake linker logic leverages the port names and so all you really do is declare your manifest file (vcpkg.json) then declare which one of them you will export publicly.

Everything after that is automatic including the exported cmake config for your library.

So... can we upgrade our existing sfp connectors to 25GBPs if our cable quality is good enough?

It certainly helps with boredom but quickly losses it's effect after repeated use.

I am calling it quits for now it's been making m a little crazy and I want to see what life is like without it for a while.

Today, not much differentiates them. But as time passes our only option will be to further specialize the hardware to get realistic gains; at some point perhaps a 'purpose built analog' computer kinda thing will get to the point where it is so useful, that it would be like the 'Standard Template Constructs' concept in Warhammer 30k. So what you can make a faster ai but, the current one can 'teach everyone, basically anything'.

I really think this is a temporary scenario, there will be advancements in ai's building the next generation of ais, where the scale of the model continually shrinks and maybe there will be some break through that allows us to double the use of existing hardware/memory etc.

10 years ago I couldn't do alexa at my house, now I'm pretty close with a Qwen3:8b / Ollamma LLM (I mean I never really wanted alexa to do anything other then play music, automate stuff, etc. zero interest in it teaching me how to code).

I'm even thinking at some point we'll consider ai to be a fundamental human right to have access too as otherwise you are inherently in a disadvantaged position in terms of wealth prospects to those who do have access.

Yeah but, how long do mainframes last? Think of the COBOL systems used in government. No reason to update them, they worked forever; their job is discrete and they performed it well enough where intense updating wasn't a requirement.
