Also fuck Boost I should have just

2024-10-10 02:10:03.22697+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Also: fuck Boost. I should have just written this code to raw POSIX calls to begin with; changing signatures mean I'm converting last_write_time(f) to just using stat(f.c_str(),&...).

It's times like every time I upgrade and C++ breaks that makes me think I should just port all this shit back to C. Or Perl. Some environment that doesn't think dicking around with my legacy code for its own sake is good.

It really shouldn't be this much of a PITA to keep stable systems running.
