ApplicationExce ption creating named event in service

I have two prorams, one of which runs as a service, and the uses a shared
resource (actually a log file) which I want to protect with a named mutex.
The service starts at login, and when I run the non-service program it throws
an ApplicationExce ption (Access denied) when it tries to construct the mutex.
I can only assume that this is a security thing, maybe because the service is
running under the Local System user. (If I stop the service, run the program,
and then restart the service it's fine).
Is there any way round this other than by using PInvoke calls to create the
named mutex with security attributes and a null DACL?

I hope this is just something stupid I'm missing and someone can easily point out my error. I'm trying to do a few turorials on windows services, and the couple I found so far just create an event log and write an entry on start and stop. I build the projects and install them fine, but when I run the service it starts and stops instantly. The service is not creating the custom event log I wanted it to but instead adds an error message in...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
