I've got a little boring minutes ago and it came to my sense to ask Microsoft Copilot something about its gender. Then I've asked: If you have to choose a gender, what would you prefer to choose? Ok, I had to create some scenario corresponding to

Pilgrimage back to C++

Pilgrimage back to C++

I think the title of the pilgrimage back to C++ is a nice allegory. The last use of the programming language for more than bug fixing and small extensions for other OpenSource projects probably goes back to the standard C++98 and the version change from Qt 4 to 5.

Simple task-thread-pool

Simple task-thread-pool

This simple task-thread-pool for Rust is for tasks like shearing sheeps. It uses a limited amount of threads from the pool to handle every task implementing trait TaskRunner. Threads will be reused if there are more tasks available. It is using crate log to log errors, debugs and traces. //! Simple

Be careful with mixing TypeScript and JavaScript

Be careful with mixing TypeScript and JavaScript

In TypeScript you can use the same private class features like in JavaScript since ES2021. So far so good. Depending on the compiler options target during compiling TS to JS there might be added some generated JS-code to handle private-fields in JS and this needs to be remembered when modifying
