They joyously announced zero new features for Snow Leopard over Leopard and it has been known as the most excellent release of OSX, ever (before the iOS-ification of the system and deep iCloud integration).

As much as I value the new file system (interestingly architected by the chap who did the BeFS, if only Apple had bought Be Inc!), it appears to still be lacking all the wonderful features of NTFS. I'm still on Sierra at the moment as

Perhaps it should be renamed to Power Hell?

I do not associate it with Gnome3 but I have to ask (as I am not longer a desktop Linux user), do they still rewrite every system utility every couple of releases? Back when Fedora Core was a thing, they rewrote the GUI utilities every coup

Skype was terrible before they got it. Had to make the config XML file on Windows readonly and remove the obnoxious advert placeholders. Skype 7 still works alright with these removed (although uses mind-bogglingly high amounts of RAM). The

Yes I think it is, but it doesn't have such visible iterations as the Chuwi (which went from having to take the bottom off to get to the SSD and then adding a flap) and having indeterminate specs from the sellers, or having bad reviews

I have to maintain other people's code, people who have left the company and not commented it. It is horrible to do, but it is possible. It's even better if they wrote it in a logical way.

Yes universal references take a while to understand. I read Scott Meyer's book and the chapter dedicated to it took some getting used to, and note taking. The language is dealing with some tricky concepts. To hide them or try to gloss

I recently bought a Linx 14 from Tesco in the UK ( https://www.tesco.com/direct/linx-14-ultraslim-full-hd-light... ) which is Intel and I've been pleasantly surprised by how good it is! Particularly for the money! A

How is this an actual problem in the real world?

I am currently on a team maintaining a giant codebase and migrating to C++11 (and beyond) for a new compiler. We do not have issues with the deprecation of auto_ptr, the use of raw pointers or general debugging COM problems. The code base i

I understand my code - the language doesn't dictate the understandability of the code that is written. Any language can be used to write indecipherable bad code. You are blaming the wrong thing. C++ seems to be very widely used to writ

That's a lot of code to read before using something!

In my example although auto was used, it was explicitly specified in the trailing return type that the function returned an int. This makes auto both needless and confusing in this instance, and should hardly be a recommendation! You are ri

by 72deluxe 9y ago
Yes, I think auto for iterators is good but for return types it doesn't help any poor developer left to maintain your code in 20 years time (even 2 years). Dealing with an extensive large and complex 5 million line C++ codebase at the

Yes, auto is definitely welcomed in the case of my::long::scoped::namespace::templatedItem<more::details::here>::const_iterator but using it for member functions is insane given that you have to read the entire thing left to right onl

Not meaning to be rude, but how do you run Windows itself if you cannot audit it? How do you fetch updates from Microsoft if you cannot audit them? What about other applications, eg. anything from Adobe, Microsoft (for Office etc.) ? Seems

I thoroughly enjoyed the Asimov Foundation series (all of them, not just the original trilogy) and often wondered why nobody made a film about them. I think it'd be tricky to do them justice (a slow exploratory pace would be good) and

Herb Sutter is very good. His "almost always auto" idea is crazy though - who on earth thinks this is a good idea instead of being explicit?? auto main(int argc, char* argv[]) -> int Madness!

Yes the data collection volume is pretty massive. I run a raspberry pi at home running pihole to block DNS requests and the amount of metrics and dialling home devices do is pretty staggering. That being said, my Windows 10 and Apple device

Read Stroustrup's blue book (The C++ Programming Language 4th edition); chapter 1 will teach you a LOT. Then read Meyer's Effective modern C++. And then have a local copy of cppreference.com (they provide a zip you can download) a

Like sofas, armchairs, refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers, flat-screen TVs and oak beds? Great idea, but how would you feasibly transport them? The deliveroo boxes are going to have to increase in size...

I have not had a problem with cold starts with diesels in the decade I've been driving them. I did have a VW Golf with a PD engine but now have a VW with a Common Rail engine. In both cases I prefer them to petrol cars because: a. the

Is it that bad? The wheels look like ultra thin elastic band wheels which would transmit much less road noise than normal fat wheels, so is it just a lack of sound proofing in it?

I did work experience for Rover many years ago and they had a department that took competitor's cars apart to see how they were built and how much they could build the cars for. Some cars were selling for much more than their assembly

I've used this on the Mac and it is good enough for me - putting titles on videos before uploading to YouTube (I sometimes do a video of playing an instrument). It is better than iMovie in this regard because it doesn't require co

You are right. I mainly commented because your last sentence has 3 metaphors in it which made my brain explode: 1. missing a boat 2. pulling up a drawbridge 3. cutting down (like a tree) Now I am confused if the boat they missed was actuall
