I've written a few over the last 25 years as well, and it's fun to write something that produces pretty pictures -- like drawing or playing an instrument is fun. Currently I'm doing a C++ one that describes the model, colour

Nice. I've been wanting something like this. I can imagine using this as a starting point to hack something up with as it appears to have examples for all of the bits I was thinking was going to be hardest :) Hopefully it'll mean

AutoCAD always has. The GUI is really nice, in that it understands how to build the LISP commands that actually implement the system. You can put in a template LISP command and tell it where you want a 2d point, or a distance and the GUI co

You're positing that there are less books from the 1990s available because less books were written then than in the 1800s?

This does seem a bit crazy, but it's worth remembering that the named tuple is copied from Python. Although I suppose the excuse there is a lack of structs.

If the wealth is held as stock then there is no "money" for the bankers to do anything with. At best he can borrow money with the stock as collateral and then allow bankers to invest that.

Is it not powerful enough to do this in software through the GPIO pins?

Actually, we already live in the third world :) (Thailand), but the attitude exists here too. When university professors suggested that there should be less censorship the university students rose up against them.

This sort of attitude is a really scary thing -- the west seems on the brink of losing all of its values. How on earth am I going to make sure that my 5 year old doesn't end up this way?

> a Linux userbase of just 1% My impression when it first came out was that Linux game sales quickly surpassed Mac ones. What actually is the case with Linux as gaming platform in terms of sales revenue rather than percentage of users.

That's true to a certain extent. There are a ton of new libraries appearing though, and the benefits of moving to the newer features are so compelling that actively maintained libraries are swiftly moving over. In the past six months I

If that's really the API for boost optional then I'm very pleased I never used it. A default constructed optional really needs to be empty rather than contain a default constructed value.

Surely that's only on the assumption that the debt can actually be serviced, let alone paid back.

Been doing this for log files for years now. It's pretty convenient and simple, but I'm not sure that any end user would want to see this -- they're just going to want CSV.

That isn't really what that test is about. They don't think there's a 99% or even 80% chance that it's a bomb. They think there might be a 0.0001% chance that it's a bomb so they're going to test (along with hu

Which might not be so bad if the copyright owners were actually profiting from it, but for the most part we're talking about books that are out of print and not earning their copyright owners anything -- it's just sheer intransige

I wish they supported kvm for Linux rather than virtualbox.

It's always possible, but doesn't seem like the sort of thing they'd do. If it's a domestic problem they'd sort it out themselves.

We've been considering doing the whole AirBnB thing (also in Thailand), but the problem with all of these online services is that you just aren't in any control of your income. I've kept only to business models where I bill d

Having used JavaScript and C++ promises, the thing I find easiest is coroutines, and they've been accepted for C++17. In the meantime Boost Coroutine together with ASIO makes for very readable code.

I also would tend to agree on this, if you're talking server sockets. With client sockets this is still very relevant though.

Most of what you propose already exists in the form of type traits together with `static_assert`. Originally concepts hold the promise of also writing adapters so that you could write meta-programs that transformed one type into another com

The GC won't do anything for stack allocated objects so you can still use the RAII goodness for all of those. You just don't also need to use things like `std::unique_ptr` and `std::shared_ptr` to manage heap allocated objects.

This should only be the case for the build server that creates the packages that get installed on production.

Somebody elsewhere pointed out to me that these will give types that are not aliases of the common ones. I.e. __int8 isn't the same as either unsigned char or char. Probably won't make a difference most places, but what does?

It's simple enough if you split the list at the partition point, but hard if you do it in place.

by KayEss 11y ago
The 'long tail' really oughtn't be that long if they switched to the native sort when a partition becomes small enough.
