1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

It's that time again - GTC is happening now. Unfortunately, it's virtual again but that is probably not going to change for a while. Is anyone else here 'attending'?
The sessions I have watched so far have been mostly pretty good, mostly. I have been disappointed with every one I about AI, so far. That's because they were nothing but marketing hype with very little of interesting substance. It's pretty obvious that is where Nvidia's focus is because, according to them, the market is really booming right now and nearly all of their products are focused on it. Personally, I think they are generating a lot of over-expectations right now that might come back to haunt them, especially if it takes a while for the real killer app to emerge.
I am primarily focused on HPC and the sessions on enhancements to C++'s support of parallelism have been fascinating.

I really wish my toolchains weren't crusty. I'd love to be dabbling in bleeding edge C++ but I also have to be careful where I spend my time. I only have so many years left, so until my toolchains support the newer standards, I'm at C++17.

My Modem is Arris brand with a wireless router. I suspect somebody hacked in my Modem in my home because wired internet connection is not stable.
how to find it out?
diligent hands rule....

I'd start here: Router Malware: How to Remove a Virus From a Router | Avast[^]
But ... IIRC, Arris modems had a problem a few years back when hardcoded backdoor accounts were discovered - if your router firmware isn't up to date, it may still have them and that means anything can get in.
The other possibility is noise: get a WiFi analyser on your phone and look how many other people are using the same WiFi frequency - if it's a lot, move to a quieter zone.

I just made a few breakthroughs. That's nice.
What's not nice about it, is the absolute torrent of canned worms it has left in its wake. 
Basically I've unlocked the ability to port a bunch of old code to work on another platform.
And now all that old code is staring me in the face. I'm talking perhaps dozens of libraries.
I'm feeling overwhelmed.

The media has been doing this (referencing each other) for years. Invariably when you dig into the source you discover that it was either misquoted, taken out of context, or simply not true, but the media has long given up doing their job. These Large Language Learning systems only do it faster and make it more obvious.

I was sure it isn't that complicated...
If I say Split == Fork, does it helps?
