is_printable
Update: This post really took off on /r/cpp and was trending! You can have a look at the comments here.
While playing around with C++ templates and SFINAE, I came up with the idea of a new metafunction named is_printable which tells you, at compile-time, if a value of a particular type can be printed using std::cout. So something like is_printable<int>::value will return true since int is a fundamental type. But something like is_printable<std::vector<int>>::value will return false.
My Google Summer of Code experience with the Chapel Parallel Programming Language
I participated in GSoC 2019 and worked on improving LLVM support within the Chapel compiler. This post discusses 3 tasks I undertook: adding llvm.lifetime.start and llvm.lifetime.end intrinsics, improving debugger support, and limiting C code generation when using the LLVM backend.

Remembering Daadaji
I lost my Daadaji on May 21. He was 77 years old. Allah called him back in the holy month of Ramadan. It was very sudden and it has emotionally crumbled our spirits, to say the least.

Living The American Dream, in Canada
I am an international student living in Canada. I originally hail from India and like a lot of Indian kids, I always dreamt of living and working in the USA when I grew older. And I have to say that this was the case until I actually came for higher studies in Canada two years ago.
I started to code when I was still in grade 4 and I always thought of ending up in the Silicon Valley to work for a multi-billion dollar tech behemoth.
An iOS user’s review of Wear OS (Android Wear) with the Ticwatch E
This article is going to be a very selective review of certain apps and aspects of the Wear OS and how it fairs for an iOS user
I finally decided to get a smartwatch last month after waiting for almost 4 years since the Moto 360’s first launch in 2014. Back then my primary device was a Nexus 4. Last March I switched to an iPhone but I didn’t want to buy an Apple Watch since it is crazy expensive (duh!
