Blood pressure results are within 6-8 mmHG of a blood pressure cuff, the display is vibrant, the battery lasts a week, basic health tracking is available, and it's inexpensive.

C++ Coroutines Advanced: Converting std:future to asio:awaitable

July 15, 2025 · 696 words · 4 min In modern C++ development, coroutines have brought revolutionary changes to asynchronous programming. However, when using boost::asio or standalone asio, we often encounter scenarios where we need to convert traditional std::future<T> to asio::awaitable<T> .

A Mental Model for C++ Coroutine

news.ycombinator.com Lu'S Blog 2026-01-22 12:23:57

C++ coroutine is not a library that is ready to go (e.g. std::vector ). It is not even a trait (think of Rust’s Future trait) that library writers or users can implement (or the compiler generates for you in the case of Rust). C++ coroutine is a specification that defines a set of customization points that library writers implement in order to get a functional coroutine. A function supports two operations - call and return . A coroutine (in any language) is a generalization of a function. It su

For Algorithms, Memory Is a Far More Powerful Resource Than Time

wired.com Ben Brubaker 2026-01-24 15:00:00

That classic result was a way to transform any algorithm with a given time budget into a new algorithm with a slightly smaller space budget. Williams saw that a simulation based on squishy pebbles would make the new algorithm’s space usage much smaller—roughly equal to the square root of the original algorithm’s time budget. That new space-efficient algorithm would also be much slower, so the simulation was not likely to have practical applications. But from a theoretical point of view, it was n

Alternative Blanket Implementations for a Single Rust Trait
