I did some MFC for my job and disliked it. It didn't help that the software in my job was made up of thousands and thousands of COM objects and everything felt like treacle to write (got to implement those interface functions I'm

Same for the Honor Band 5 in the UK until recently, when it has been enabled. Very cheap device, I see many of them and the Mi Band 4 around here (and Apple watches). Seems to be a saturated market.

I remember some Geocities websites being horrendous in their appearance, making use of the "rainbow" animated horizontal ruler. TBH I miss this era of the Internet when pages loaded fast even on slow computers (although Netscape w

Because you're tied to an expensive fixed-size SSD that you can't upgrade and the system hogging disk space reduces the space left to store the colossal 4K videos that every phone shoots these days and the VM snapshots you need? A

wxWidgets is worth looking at. I use it and really enjoy using it. Used it for a largish cross-platform job a few years ago which is why I think all the modern garbage like Slack and Electron-based apps is sheer laziness. The forum can be a

I always err on the side of "deny" and trying to fix it afterwards, particularly on Android. Typically well-written apps will alert you that you are about to receive a system prompt and explain the reasons why.

How? It shows it at the point of access request. If 2 programs request access 5 minutes apart, how would you show that in a single window? Do you suspend the first program and wait until another application makes an access request? What hap

If a program calls fopen, how is static analysis going to help? It will just know that the program will open a file of some kind, not the location of said file.

Settings should be under ~/Library somewhere (perhaps ~/Library/Preferences?) and not in the Documents directory.

But what experience would you recommend here instead? If 2 programs that require access start 5 minutes apart, do you stop/suspend the first one until another program starts and then show a dialog listing both for a good "experien

Have 2 side projects. Then when you get bored with one, you can switch to the other. Then, when you're bored with that switch back to the first.

Fascinating reading and looks very useful. I will try to get away from SQL Server for a bit to look at postgresql again. Thanks

I do not mean to be rude or offensive but are there plans to fix the half-baked type system? I am using PHP7 at work and the ability to annotate functions with types is a good idea until you get arrays which can take anything (so you can ha

Yes, it's black. Also, you can't change any of the UI colours. The major feature of the last release was that you could change the UI from grey to black. So, now 2 colours to choose from. One day we'll get 3 or more!

Must be a different development sphere to me. I have to use xcode for dev on the Mac and it is feeble compared to VS. I can't think of a better IDE to be honest (C++, C# for me). Whenever I have to use other offerings like Eclipse, Net
