Comment on GotW #1 Solution: Variable Initialization – or Is It? by Mald

Just want to thank you Herb for your GotW articles. Your explanations by example has really helped me. I have a question that is related to Copy Constructors and c++11. I was making a class recently and I was writing the copy constructor for it. I realized that it was basically a duplicate of the explicit normal constructor that I just wrote. Fortunately c++11 allows constructors to call peer constructors using delegation. So could I just have my copy constructor call my explicit normal constructor? Is this acceptable?

Comment on Bjarne and I are speaking in Chicago on Tuesday night by Dithermaster

Herb, thanks for the great talk.

You mentioned the iOS 7 animations, and it seems some folks are affected by this: http://www.macrumors.com/2013/09/26/ios-7-users-complaining-about-motion-sickness-due-to-parallax-and-zooming-effects/

Comment on Bjarne and I are speaking in Chicago on Tuesday night by Herb Sutter

Yes, I saw those reports afterwards.

What is most baffling is the (unfortunately-as-usual) vacuous and even hateful comment threads. In the first couple of pages, I saw nothing but angry comments that people are making this up and should get a life.

As I mentioned in my talk on Tuesday night, my wife is a longtime satisfied iPhone user who is prone to motion sickness, and the gentler motion in iOS 6 and earlier never bothered her before. After installing iOS 7, she couldn’t even unlock her phone without a wave of nausea — the effect was immediate from the first unlock with iOS 7. And it isn’t just the parallax wallpaper (which wasn’t even enabled on her iPhone 4), it was the extra zoom motion everywhere but particularly on unlock, where the zoom animation was (a) slower and (b) irregular with different icons falling in at different speeds.

Calling people who report these problems “stupid” and claiming they’re making it up and should “grow a pair” is just foolish, yet that’s what every user comment I’ve read so far has said. Now, I realize comment threads are usually 90% foolish, but this is the first comment thread that was 100% foolish (at least as far as I read it). Fortunately the commenters here are much better and well over 90% reasonable and thoughtful — thanks! it’s much appreciated.

Comment on Recommended reading: Why mobile web apps are slow (Drew Crawford) by Taylan

I’m sorry but I urge you to reconsider your appreciation of Crawford’s article, and if possible, post a correction mentioning what I now will, for I don’t have the publicity to correct the misinformation spread by Crawford. As apparent from my e-mail exchange with him (linked below), he is extremely ignorant on garbage collection, loves misinterpreting academic papers, and the claims in his article regarding garbage collection are clearly a result of misinterpretation of a linked paper; the article grossly misrepresents the results of the paper, whose value are I think dubious even if interpreted correctly.

http://taylan.uni.cx:8080/webapps-js-gc/

If you have difficulties with the above link, contact me via taylanbayirli at Google Mail and I will send you a copy.

It disturbs me greatly that an article with this level of misinformation is nevertheless written this well, and enjoys the publicity and appreciation it does, please help correct this for the sake of the public’s information and education.

Comment on Reader Q&A: "Will C++ remain indispensable…?" by Herb Sutter

@pjmlp: Yes. He is smart and a good guy, but so negative that I wonder whether we were at the same conference. He’s welcome to his opinion, and many people have said the same; but I don’t share it, and I disagree with most of his examples.

Two particular things he’s wrong about involve compatibility:

1. He underestimates the importance of source backward compatibility. It’s extremely important, see here: http://herbsutter.com/2012/12/04/compatibility/

2. He overestimates the complexity cost of source backward compatibility. It isn’t as high or important as he thinks.

I’ll talk about this on Tuesday night in Chicago at the Chicago C++ Users Group meeting: https://sites.google.com/a/chicagoacm.org/chicago-chapter-of-the-acm/meeting-topics/2013-09-24-onec-herb-sutter (Note it says the event is at capacity, but they’re looking for a bigger room, so do add yourself to the waiting list.)
