I think we are rewarded with "tolerance" which we interpret as love, based on our perception of the cat; if it is our own we see it as love; if it is someone else's, we think it is a friendly cat.

What do you mean that it no longer works? Do you mean it won't find drives, won't back up to existing backups, won't restore? I only ask because I'm still on Sierra and see this list of broken features under High Sierra

I am glad to see this continuing. I subscribed for a year and a bit and in that time spent enough money to actually buy a version of Logic Pro X on the Mac; instead I paid monthly to hopefully reach the goal of having a usable DAW on the Ma

Lovely to see this. I used CDE when I was on work experience at Rover and they had a tonne of Sun pizza boxes connecting to their SunOS mainframes. I remember using early KDE (KDE 2) with a CDE colour scheme to emulate the look.

I just use the ssh client within the Ubuntu thingy in Windows 10 - surely that was an option?

Not sure on Qt's features as I last used it in the KDE 3.5 days for basic basic apps, but I have used wxWidgets extensively. The Mac port has improved significantly recently, although there are still bugs. It uses the native UI so fits

Whilst APFS is an improvement and I fondly remember using BeOS back in the day, I am not sure APFS is that impressive feature-wise compared to NTFS. It's still miles behind NTFS, which is now ancient.

This is very true. As I sit here waiting for my compilation to finish, I am reminded of the "speed" of compilation.

I would choose wxWidgets personally. Easy to build the libraries, plenty of samples. Some bugs here and there but paired with a tool to layout UIs (like wxFormBuilder), you can get a lot done.

We did not ship often! Quality is more important to me than being able to quickly fling rubbish out of the door. Anyone can do that. For audio hardware, you don't want to be grabbing software + firmware updates multiple times a week. Y

As an end-user of software, which do you value more?: a. A smaller executable that makes efficient use of your machine's resources b. A developer with less knowledge and experience who is able to write a memory-hogging desktop applicat

I worked for a company that released control software for audio hardware. I was the only GUI developer (the only guy writing the frontend app), and there was another dev who wrote firmware and a network communication library that I used in

What constitues a "bad amount"? It is displaying a series of text onscreen, with a history of messages for each contact. What's it eating all that RAM for? My mind boggles.

I think wxWidgets is still around and they have Python bindings (not used it, but have used the C++ wxWidgets a lot).

by 72deluxe 9y ago
This is odd. It indicates a badly written application with disregard for resources. If efficient use of something like RAM is blatantly disregarded, what about more important things like performance-critical sections of code? Would you be h

"In the years immediately after the council, nuns discarded their habits, priests discovered women (more than 100,000 left the priesthood to marry)" This position on marriage for priests is intriguing. Even Peter was married - see

Oddly, this does not apply to C++ which has been steadily growing and growing in features, yet gets criticized for being "too complicated". Of course, you can get by knowing only the bits you need, and Stroustrup makes the excelle

Call me old, but how can a messaging app like this use 130MB RAM? I am exasperated that Skype on my machine is using 109MB with only one conversation window open. We seemed to get by with MSN Messenger with far less RAM, and the features we

Note that under Android developer options, you can change the window animation scale and other animation scales to shorten/lengthen animations; no need to root.

Stroustrup said he was disappointed with C++17 as it didn't introduce anything massive. You can see him mentioning this widely and openly at cppcon last year. It'll be interesting to see what gets in next.

Doesn't this mean going past the 85 dBA limit in headphones? That's instant hearing loss.

C++ solution (the solution you didn't ask for, sorry) for saving to disk from memory (as some sort of periodic expensive sync) would be to write a stream operator for your objects and stream them to disk. Loading would involve reading

"The C++ version has no pointers but instead uses value types. This means that all data is stored twice: once in the array and a second time in the hash table." This is interesting. Are they using modern C++ and making use of move

My 1972 VW Beetle has done 6000 miles apparently. Turns out it has gone round the clock...

What manufacturer and model is that? I had a 2008 VW Golf TDI Gt Sport (the 140PS PD engine) and that consistently lied. My newer 150 Euro6 (I think) engined VW Beetle TDO gives even better MPG so perhaps it is lying again... Potentially ti

Would it perhaps be because the bluetooth speakers typically cannot reproduce bass below a certain range and so play the harmonics of the bass note or use the resonance of the item they are placed on to "produce" the bass note? In

And perhaps too loud for humans? I only say this because most people are happy listening to music on CDs but when in the presence of a live band (eg an orchestra) it is suddenly obvious how incredibly loud it is. My brother is a drummer and

I think the type of music you are listening to assists with being able to differentiate. To me (much rock, blues, guitar music) 128kbps MP3 sounds like somebody chewed it first. Cymbals and bizarre snares that sound like the snare is now ma

Yes and hihats. But how am I to tell now that I have high frequency tinnitus?? Blasted drummers.

Why is this? I only have 16 bit 44.1kHz "normal" CDs and I notice some terrible mastering jobs, eg. RHCP Stadium Arcadium loses the snare for the first track and is like listening to minutes of distortion yet apparently the vinyl
