But the same is true of any other language. Given a complex piece of C++, no amount of IDE features is going to help anyone understand it, nor know what is implications could be in a system (without looking at the entire source code to see

Very interesting. This is impossible in C++03; this must be related to the very useful changes in aggregate initialisation for C++11 (particularly useful as there's one great syntax for that and uniform initialisation).

But there's no COM on Linux. How can I magically port my software across if I do not have access to all the wonders of COM, eg. MS XML and have to rewrite my software from scratch? At least with Microsoft you have support for APIs for

The argument appears to be about whether to block adverts and whether this is ethical or not. The real reason for adverts is to pay for the site and its content. I think the real argument should be about how we pay for content on a site and

I can't work out why nobody does HTTP 402 to pay for the content on a site.

I never understand this. Why would a machine get painfully slow after a few years of use? Do you install rubbish on it? Do you not take care to ensure that everything in your process task list makes sense? Do you look to see what's gob

That's a very good point to make. The "buy a machine with Linux on it" option didn't exist yesteryear when I was using it. Very thoughtful point.

NTFS supports compression, hard links, streams, transactions, quotas, and has a master file table (or multiples of them) which enables tools such as Voidtool's Everything utility to find files in nanoseconds. APFS does not support any

Still running a 2012 non-retina MacBook Pro. I shoved 16GB RAM in as soon as I bought it (it officially only supports 8GB). But it was a real dog with a hard disk. Shoved in a 1TB SSD and all is good (and that's a SATA3 not NVME). Shou

You can edit plist files that litter the ~/Library directory???

You forget: Windows has NTFS which is still lightyears ahead of Apple's upcoming APFS, let alone HFS+ (how on earth is it still in use??) And I say this as Mac user.

Although Apple have been known to change things for change-sake, I find it is possible to take a Mac running Mac OS 10.2 and 10.12 and you will find your way around with ease. Of course, under the hood they've rewritten everything like

TimeMachine is really great. Does anyone have experience with the Windows 10 backups? I know the Windows 7 one was dire.

This is very true. When I reboot my MacBook into Windows the touchpad becomes dumb.

I'll be holding onto my MBP-Non retina from 2012 for as long as I can! Best look for a cheese-grater Mac as a workhouse. Xeons may be old but not to be sniffed at.

I used to enjoy tinkering with computers and spending all my time on Linux trying to get things working. I didn't edit any code, just spent days getting ndiswrapper working, reconfiguring my desktop after an upgrade, refinding my parti

I thought battery life on my MacBook was great particularly after AppNap was introduced and the aggressive shaming of power-hungry apps via the battery menu. Then I build some C++ under Xcode and battery life is not so good... Probably grea

What about stable APIs for development? I only ask coming from a C++ background. I see much fragmentation in Linuxland, with encouragement for Vala, every other GUI tool written by RedHat being written in Python etc. so it doesn't enco

Cmd-` lets you switch windows within an application though, as I recall (can't confirm as I'm on Windows at work)

This is great and I miss it every day at work on Windows. I end up Alt-D , Ctrl-C, alt-tab, Ctrl-V to work out where anything is.

Try ShiftIt or the clone. I use this at home as I missed the Windows+cursor movement of windows.

I would say no to a native package manager. I do not want to make Mac OS Linux. I would like to keep Mac OS as Mac OS. It's like recommending putting Quartz on Linux. The built-in apps aren't cluttering I don't think. If you

I do have a smartphone but oddly he is mildly correct that they really aren't smart. You have to spend ages on them to do anything. It is odd that computers are meant to work for us but we spend such a long time using them and working

I am a rarity here in the U.K. as I still text, having got fed up of constantly switching IM apps. I mean, I remember when MSN Messenger was all the rage. Then Yahoo, ICQ, GTalk, Hangouts, various Jabber protocols, FaceAche, errr I mean Fac

The Dalvik system that runs on top does indeed put apps into their own named processes with restricted access etc, quite a good idea imho! But the entire system as a whole doesn't get updates to lower parts. E.g. Updating your java app

Thanks for reminding me of Plug'N'Pray. Some stuff worked but a lot didn't, likely the cheap rubbish hardware I bought with lame drivers. And trying to load a mouse driver for DOS and play a game that needed himem. Or trying

I have zero signal at work due to the building being a huge metal frame and metal mesh on the windows. This means I cannot SMS anyone. It also means increased productivity as I don't bother looking at my phone to see if anyone has text

Do they need help? Or a more rigorous test suite? Or pushing more errors to the compiler to trap these kind of things?

Isn't this just hoping that products come along that use your platform and that people are willing to pay for that? Doesn't seem a good strategy to my limited understanding. Also, experience has taught that users are fickle and th
