  • Comparing asio to unifex
    2 projects | /r/cpp | 23 Jun 2023
    I'm curious what led you to this conclusion. If you ran into scalability issues with its static_thread_pool, then that's a known issue. If it's something else, the authors (of which I'm one) would love to know.
  • How does one actually build a C++ project
    3 projects | /r/cpp_questions | 26 May 2023
    Instead of calling add_executable you will call add_library. Here is a (only moderately complicated) production example of a library that can be built standalone (along with tests and example executables), or as a subproject, where it builds only the library
  • How to write networking code now that will be easiest to adapt to the upcoming standard?
    2 projects | /r/cpp | 22 May 2023
    My original thought was to build my DDS implementation on top of libunifex in anticipation for standardization: https://github.com/facebookexperimental/libunifex
  • Executors/libunifex example project
    1 project | /r/Cplusplus | 10 Oct 2022
    I'm trying to understand how to work with the proposed executors in a project, but after watching Eric Niebler's cppcon talks (https://youtu.be/xLboNIf7BTg) and looking at the libunifex examples (https://github.com/facebookexperimental/libunifex/tree/main/examples) I still have a hard time wrapping my head around how to employ the sender/receiver pattern in a larger project.
  • Async/Await pattern in C++
    3 projects | /r/cpp_questions | 19 Jul 2022
    You have coroutines in C++20 but there is also the executives proposal that's making it's way into C++23 that is available as a library under the name unifex that only requires C++14
  • Using Asio for asynchronous gRPC clients and servers
    3 projects | /r/cpp | 6 Jun 2022
    Asio-grpc makes exactly that possible by providing an Asio execution_context compatible interface to the CompletionQueue. It supports all types of RPCs (including generic ones), completion tokens, cancellation, as well as libunifex sender/receiver (if you want to try out what might become std::execution). The latest release (v1.7.0) also introduced a GrpcStream class for writing Rust/Golang select-style code.

  • "C++ makes it harder to shoot yourself, but when you do it blows your whole leg off"
    4 projects | /r/ProgrammerHumor | 18 Feb 2022
    All the network handling for Instagram and all other Meta apps on all platforms is handled by their own C++ library https://github.com/facebookexperimental/libunifex.
  • State of the art for CPOs (customization points) in C++?
    2 projects | /r/cpp | 3 Dec 2021
    This. I'd also like to mention libunifex. It's entirely based on tag_invoke and is a testament as to how much power it actually provides. On the other hand, it also proves how cumbersome it is to define CPOs with tag_invoke. But IMO it's a lot better than anything else anyone has ever created, and users usually don't need to define new CPOs, only library writers do, so there's that.
  • Why do we need networking, executors, linear algebra, etc in the Standard Library?

  • Demystifying the Shadow DOM
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 9 Apr 2024
    One of the unexpected use of shadow DOMs for me was a document generated for image resource URLs [1], because the HTML standard apparently specifies the exact DOM structure of the generated document except for the `` element [2].

  • Detect when your installed Chrome extensions have changed owners
    8 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 6 Mar 2024
    Recently my favorite open source mouse gestures extension SmartUp Gestures was taken over by some shady entity (with github no longer being updated of course).

    I opened Chrome ticket that they should ask to re-enable extension when ownership changes. They just closed the ticket replying with this link:

    :(

  • Supermium – Chromium fork for Win 2003 and newer
    6 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 3 Mar 2024
    Hmm. It looks like files with the .lnk or .pif file extension can only be downloaded on a user gesture: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/39841e54180...

    So it can't be done silently. Although, I do wish the type was marked "DANGEROUS" a la dll files.

  • New Linux glibc flaw lets attackers get root on major distros
    7 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 4 Feb 2024
    On Linux, Chromium uses setuid or user namespaces to restrict the access of sandboxed components and seccomp-bpf to reduce the kernel attack surface.

    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 21 Jan 2024
    For the sake of completeness, I've traced the evolution of the notice over time:

    From 2008-07-26: "Going incognito doesn't affect the behavior of other people, servers, or software. Be wary of: / • Websites that collect or share information about you / • Internet service providers or employers that track the pages you visit / • Malicious software that tracks your keystrokes in exchange for free smileys / • Surveillance by secret agents / • People standing behind you" (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/09911bf300f...)

    From 2013-12-07: "Going incognito doesn't affect the behavior of other people, servers, software, or people standing behind you." (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/c5e36c57178...)

    From 2013-12-13: "However, you aren't invisible. Going incognito doesn't hide your browsing from your employer, your internet service provider, or the websites you visit." (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/70821506825...)

    From 2014-02-27: "However, you aren't invisible. Going incognito doesn't hide your browsing from your employer, your internet service provider, governments and other sophisticated attackers, or the websites you visit." (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/ab54bd65701...)

    (Note that some of these were behind a feature flag for a few months.) Also, it looks like they've been intending to modify the new-tab page text for Incognito windows for some time, as part of the "Revamped Incognito NTP" project. You can view the modified text with 'chromium --enable-features=IncognitoNtpRevamp':

    From 2021-08-13: "What Incognito doesn't do / Incognito does not make you invisible online: / • Sites know when you visit them / • Employers or schools can track browsing activity / • Internet service providers may monitor web traffic" (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/e6ae57ba385...)

    I think its weird that Vercel has this limit. There is no practical reason I can think of for having such a limit on URL characters that is so small. Chrome suggests a 2MB limit[0] for example. The platform itself doesn't have one, and Firefox I believe if memory serves (I can't find the source for this claim atm) is 1 MB effectively, and I don't think Safari is any lower than that either (and may well be more inline with Chrome on this, at 2 MB)
