A long-delayed post about importing the standard library in C++ using the latest CMake 3.30 release and a recent Clang 18.1.8 toolchain. It works (mostly) and continues to improve! I linked to a few accompanying commits where you can see the details too but I only tested it on an up-to-date Arch Linux install :-) https://cryos.net/2024/10/cmake-and-import-std/

One year at a startup already! Hard to believe, a quick post reflecting on my journey and what I enjoy about startup life. Really an opportunity to take stock as this was quite a shift in career for me https://cryos.net/2024/07/one-year-at-a-startup/

Summer is upon us!!! ☀️ 🏝️

Despite the cold spell the passion flower has bloomed! Got a hanging basket from our neighbor's farm, it did really well a few years back.

We are hiring for a Staff Build Engineer role. Do you have experience with C++, CMake, compilers, CI, software development processes, open source and working with dependencies. Do you think this is you, or know someone who might be a good fit? https://boards.greenhouse.io/voltrondata/jobs/4063289006 #remotejobs

A bit of a tangent on the importance (in my opinion) or toy projects, pointers to past posts on C++, CMake, C++ modules, packaging, C++ with a columnar database and some hints at areas I hope to find time to dig into more in the future plus Lego! https://cryos.net/2024/02/toy-projects-and-lego/

First baby steps looking at using DuckDB in a simple C++ application. It looks cool and I am certain that I am missing the best path. Still I got an in memory database linking to the library and making a few calls, and it looks easy to deploy. Future post almost definitely diving deeper into binary batch type approaches and more complex types. This is the hello world of DuckDB in a C++ module ;-) https://cryos.net/2024/02/duckdb-and-c-/

A more personal post marking six years since I naturalized as a US citizen and reflecting a little on how much has changed since then https://cryos.net/2024/02/six-years-since-naturalizing/
