Apple | Debugger Engineer | Full-time | Onsite | Cupertino
The LLDB team at Apple is looking for an engineer to work on the LLDB debugger. LLDB is a core part of Apple's developer tools, used internally to debug Apple's software stack and externally by millions of developers. You’ll be able to work on different levels of the stack: from supporting our existing and upcoming platforms to developing new features to make debugging even better. Most of your work will be open source, on llvm.org (http://llvm.org/) and github.com (http://github.com/) where you’ll collaborate with the LLVM and Swift community.
If you love working on low-level tools you should check out the details here: https://jobs.apple.com/en-us/details/200311412/debugger-engi...

Indeed, the commit hash reported in the version corresponds to something that landed on master at 11PM this Monday.

I wish more developers wrote code with a mute keyboard.

LLVM adopted a new version scheme which made the minor version redundant. IIRC someone suggested to remove it and nobody objected.

JDevlieghere | 7 years ago | on: Apple's investment into Clangd and refactoring tooling
> What for you might need it on iOS? Server is meant to run on a development machine.
While I totally agree, I can see the author's point. Think for example about Swift Playgrounds.
JDevlieghere | 7 years ago | on: Apple's investment into Clangd and refactoring tooling
Yes, exactly this. If you have 3 different editors and 3 different languages, you potentially end up with 9 different implementation. LSP means that the same can be achieved by one implementation per language and one plugin per editor.

In addition to what everyone else has said, something I'd find really useful would be going in the other direction. Just mark some keys and it tells you what chord you're playing.
JDevlieghere | 8 years ago | on: The Benjamin Franklin method for learning more from programming books
> Let’s face it, programming books suck.
While I agree that there are a lot of bad books out there, I don't agree that programming books suck in general. I very much prefer a well structured book over one of those chaotic tutorials that leave me with more questions than answers. Especially for languages where the "why" matters a lot more than the "how".
> It’s a lot like the way you may have already been doing it, just with more learning.
Maybe that's the reason why I disagree. Indeed, they way I read a book is by putting its content into practice.
JDevlieghere | 8 years ago | on: LLVM patch to fix half of Spectre attack
Why would you need to recompile the compiler? Both variants only provide read access.
JDevlieghere | 8 years ago | on: A visual ARM emulator
From the home and about page it seems like this was developed in the context of teaching a course at the Imperial College London. I wouldn't be surprised if there was just so much bureaucracy involved in getting this open source that the author deemed it not really worth it.

This is how I understood it as well.

Too bad IPv6 is again ignored completely; not even a mention in the article.

Indeed, it's portable and part of the standard. Personally I'm a big fan of this implementation: https://github.com/progschj/ThreadPool/

Same here in Belgium :-(
