Is there anything like this for c++?
I am loving the criterion library for rust benchmarks. These charts are beautiful. The tooling in this language is really top notch. One major downside is I am going to do way more micro-optimisations if it's this easy :/

Good software does not emerge from a series of really polished changesets. In fact, you can easily have technically really polished and well-tested garbage features. Good software follows from establishing a gradient towards a better end result - continuous improvements.

One of the coolest happy accidents I've seen Lay of the Land's procedural generation make has to be this river perfectly snaking its way under this structure. #gamedev #indiedev #voxelgame #voxelart #voxel #procedural #UnrealEngine

What if GitHub made you take a quiz about your PR before requesting reviews, to make sure you know what's in it? And if you don't...

[ RUN ] MeshingUnitTests.MeshGrid_Perf meshed 1000 chunks in 0.02 seconds, time per chunk is 22.14 us I was playing around implementing binary greedy meshing by Erik Johansson ( https://t.co/hQh8KheRtD). Got a 32x32x32 chunk down to 22 microseconds. Really impressive algo!

Microservices are what happens when your organization has communication problems and you decide the architecture should have them too.

While bit fiddling I realized that geometry side length isn't usually zero. For my case this meant that what was previosly in the range 0-32, 6 bits, could be restricted to the range 1-32, encoded as 0-31, which fits in 5 bits instead of 6. Mini win :)

Visual Studio 2026 has a new "Generate preprocessed output for any C++ file" feature that brings us one step closer to parity with the development functionality available in CodeWarrior 1995.

About unwrap: people don't seem to get the point of Result; it makes it explicit that you bet for the happy case. And if it fails, the problem is bubbled. Exceptions are easily overlooked, leading to surprise crashes. And error codes can be forgotten, leading to silent errors
