This talk will give an overview of some of the major and types of memory safety errors in C++, how they arise in practice, and the prevention strategies available today. It will also provide a platform for reflection and open discussion.
A journey from the Visual6502 project to a real, fully assembled board, and the debugging adventures required to make it actually work.
What if AI could do more than suggest code, and actually drive hardware-in-the-loop test cycles on real systems? This talk looks under the hood of a practical agentic AI workflow for embedded C++ development.
Going through some Go code with the help of a static analyzer (by one of the developers of the analyzer)
Today, my remote ssh extension updated.
Result: I could no longer connect to a remote; a message box was shown.
Since that was for work and I was a bit stressed, I didn't take a screenshot. However, I reinstalled the last version, and the problem was gone.
Has anyone else seen that?
The PrimeTime is talking about what he does not like in modern Go and brings some criticism.
Since I am not an everyday Go developer, but like it, I wonder what people are thinking here about that?

A Swedish podcast recently had a lot of C++ content, in English.
The first 20 min are about consultant life, the rest 60+ minutes are C++. Since there are not that many Podcasts with C++ content, I thought I would share it
The episode is also on YouTube and on Spotify, and possible other services.
From the description:

We then talk about the standardization process for C++ and about new things in C++ 26. Harald discusses the issues of adding new things which are good in themselves, but perhaps don’t fit into a bigger picture, take a lot of focus and energy which in turn means many other things do not get considered which may be smaller and more widely and immediately useful.
Also: once something is in the standard library, it’s eternal. And there is still no real ecosystem around C++. Infrastructure is a hard thing. And Rust is out there.
Finally, we talk about Harald’s experience of running the Swedencpp meetup for ten years. What does it mean to run something for so long? Technology, talks, locations, providing a space for presentations, and trying to keep things evolving are all discussed.
C++ is an old language, and so is its business model. And if the language needs some updates from time to time, its business model might need them too. But hold on, what is C++'s business model? C++ is the specification of a programming language, so what are you talking about?
Software performance doesn't happen by accident, nor can it be an afterthought.
This talk illustrates this idea through the story of a 2x performance patch for a game, made as a side project, by explaining not just what was done, but, more importantly, how and why it was possible to achieve in the first place.
