Yea, I did not speak out. I yelled. But the opposition shouted even louder. Just butting heads doesn't seem to be getting us any results, there are probably better ways to achieve fairness, even if it is not exactly in the form we want

I don't believe any computer-illiterate people use Windows. Tablets and phones have completely replaced PCs in ordinary people's lives, with macbooks serving for the tiny percentage of tasks that need a keyboard. Anyone trying to

In my life as a professional c++ programmer, overloading the comma operator has been much less useful than using goto. The operator itself is fine and using it in its default behaviour can be good, but overloading it is absolutely useless.

Even worse when the band name isn't written with latin characters to begin with.

Sort of. Instead of mnemonics, I find it easier to remember when I know how a concept is derived from basic principles. So, first we observe that 1am and 1:00 in 24h format are the same time. Then, we consider the hour before that. That hou

On the bright side, screaming at the void can be therapeutic for some people...

Object initialisation complexity is a consequence of the design goals of C++. It's unavoidable complexity, but it's not surprising once you know about it, and it is required for consistency.

> every single part of it is deeply flawed, and the best solution is to avoid using it completely You can sadly say the same for a large part of C++ standard features. At least the core language is mostly sound, simple intuitive and perf

Yeah, I use that one when I need to hand-count somewhat large quantities. The Roman system is better (larger numbers), but I can't independently bend my pinky, ring or middle fingers, so it's unusable sadly.

Yep. Combined with the requirement for fresh ginger juice it would seem the best protocol would be to dissolve sugar in warm (for easier dissolving) milk in a jar, let it cool to room temp, squeeze the ginger directly in the milk, stir, sea

Same. I feel the positive effects are actually making me more productive, not less. I do end up writing code at midnight some days, but having a floating schedule fits me so much better. Meeting face to face for some things is nice, but it&

> should the very nature of written language change to adapt to the needs of technology This has been always the case. I mean, think of how modern latin letter forms developed. Think back to the Roman Empire, when the letters were etched

It's not entirely unprecedented. Modern cyrillic shapes are in part influenced by the printing press - when it was being imported in Russia, they didn't want to mill an entire new set of characters, so they repurposed the latin on

Korean is especially difficult. Chinese uses only hanzi and you have a limited set of logogram combinations that result in a word. Japanese is easier because they often add kana to the ends of words (for e.g. verb conjugation) and you can u

This is why older computer scientists get jaded. It's the same problems again and again, which you foresee and try to make sure don't happen, but you can't make the world do the right thing. So you say your warning, people la

You can trivially get at the padding bytes, just cast to char pointer. Their contents are undefined and there is absolutely no guarantee that they will remain constant, but they're there. Generally you have several possibilities for ho

I understand that, but for too long the narrative has been exclusively controlled by people like you, even though your views are in the minority, apparently. Remote should be the default, with occasional office presence so people can get to

I would argue that this is a bug and should probably be fixed in a future C/C++ standard that allows declaring misaligned types. Something like "members of a packed struct have [[aligned(1)]] attribute and cannot be converted to a

No, because this expands colours to ones that cannot be expressed with sRGB, no matter if it's encoded as 16bit linear, or with the sRGB transfer function. You cannot express a hue outside the Rec.709 triangle, no matter how much preci

NMS had problems of a completely different character at launch. Once they fixed the bugs, added the features that were missing and did a lot of polish, people really like the game. It's very well-received now. Here's a short story

I think I get it, it's pretty smart. So you have a texture atlas - a big texture with many small textures packed into it. Each small texture occupies a rectangular UV region in the big atlas, and when you are looking up texture coord

Would be amazing if this could also integrate with a language server to provide code browsing functionality. These days I'm using Vim's gdb integration, which doesn't have any data visualisation features, but lets me use all

I wonder why we don't see more developments with underground parking. Imagine a three-level underground parking space with a small public park on top. Access would be gated to residents of the surrounding buildings. You should still ha

You could, but the fact that (one of) the default mainstream DE does not respect its users' workflows is a valid gripe. Going against the grain requires energy investment and it's not sure tomorrow we will still be able to run Xfc

Claiming that this is a synthetic virus is pretty much the height of racism and is deeply unscientific. I hope sciencemag rescinds this story after the backlash.

Two other words I would like to see given more usage by English speakers are overmorrow and ereyesterday. For two days after/before today. They aren't ancient and you can find usages in books from the 20th century, but most people
