Superman is such a basic character that you can absolutely make stories about him without actually copying the character. Also, it's desirable to have your own character that you can merchandise exclusively. As an example, the Japanese

There's also this quote from the article: "The trouble started, the couple said, when their 10-year-old son was nearly hit by one of the vehicles while he was playing in a nearby cul-de-sac." Driving annoyingly cautiously is

Re: colons for separators I think we should just define a .ip6 pseudo-tld and then you can write e.g. ff::12:34 as ff.x.12.34.ip6 (with .x. being the equivalent of ::). This should be enough for any practical purpose of users specifying fre

As long as you can link old-C++ and new-C++ together, there shouldn't be any big problems. You'll write your new code in new-C++ and wrap your old code in extern "old-C++". The same way you can mix C code in C++ projects

It's a bit ironic that those of us who grew up in actual communism understand the difference between government- planned healthcare and government- funded healthcare better than Americans. Even as the communist regime was being tor

AFAIK C and C++ compilers are not allowed to re-order floating-point arithmetic precisely for that reason. Also, given that all cpus support SSE/Neon/etc. now and I haven't seen a compiler use the 387 FPU, I suspect registe

Everything except mixed mode debugging Just Worked (tm) last time I used IntelliJ to write Java code. I didn't notice performance problems and never had to configure those features. We used the Maven build system. I last used NetBeans

I would also like to know what exactly you mean. I've heard similar rants before and usually it boils down to 1) non-standard shortcuts, i.e. not implementing CUA; 2) being built around a terminal rather than designed around the capabi

As a full-time C++ developer, my only gripe with features like these is that they require nontrivial compiler optimizations in order to produce the equivalent "old-style" high-performance code. That leads to two issues for me: 1.

Oh man, email. Fun story - I started using the internet around 2000, maybe 2001 and to me email was always a website. Like hotmail etc. The first time I installed Linux I was very confused why it wanted my email address and most importantly

No. The world has a child porn problem. And until you start offering mental health care to paedophiles and going after child porn producers, nothing will change. You can ban the entire internet if you like and paedos will just meet in bars

Disney have Marvel now, which is printing money. I don't think they've done anything Mickey-related in a long while, they might actually let him enter the public domain. There would probably still be many restrictions on his use,

That's pretty much how commercial ray tracers work. Path tracing for scattered rays and GI, with ray tracing for evaluating direct light. Look at Cycles's code.

True, but with so many people with reading problems, it would behoove any author to state his thesis simply and plainly in the first paragraph, in straight text, with no sarcasm, allegory or metaphor. Otherwise you run the danger of bringin

This is also how the Apache httpd server works, last I checked. Not the entire server, of course - it's a long-lived program with lots of memory to manage, however when servicing a request, it uses the arena pattern to allocate memory

Exceptions are the exit() of libraries. Or if you're using plain C, setjmp/longjmp might be a good idea, depending on what you're doing.

It might be niche in the grand scheme of things, but for me this is an incredible improvement on my usage of Firefox. This was honestly one of the few things that Chrome did better. Firefox was the only program that I use every day that for

On the other hand humans have built-in special processing stages already. One that comes to mind is that the neurons in your eyes in effect run a sharpening filter on the incoming light before the data ever enters your brain. I don't t

At this point the ethical thing to do is to pirate the book and donate the money to the author. Like, if I were him, I would just put the PDF up on the pirate bay with a link to my patreon. Edit: I see it's also on Google Books, which

I can identify several traits that helped Rust be more marketable over D. First is that Rust is making tooling a central issue they're working on. Right now you can install VSCode and get a Rust plugin with a single click or get a Visu

You can also say that it is immoral to receive compensation for not working, i.e. rent-seeking. The creator should be compensated for his or her work, but that's not what copyright is about, it's about being compensated at the tim

I wouldn't advocate being an asshole usually, but for Parisians speaking in English at you to be snobs, just compliment them on their impeccable English skills and suggest that means they must have some Englishman blood in them.
