I found that just looking at them with an unconcerned, disinterested expression, then carrying on my way did the trick.

What do they say when you reply "Windows"?

Conan seems to have appeared recently but I haven't yet tried it myself. https://www.conan.io/

Except the exact same code was republished, so the point still stands.

Agreed. biicode ( https://www.biicode.com/ ) might have potential.

gcc is little more than a symlink to clang for recent versions of Xcode, so something else fishy is going on.

Any invalid ID redirects to your own page, or something like that.

I was very excited until I saw: "Supporting graphical applications such as those based on GTK, Qt, SDL, OpenGL etc is outside the scope of this project."

Good! Having done a lot of recruiting recently I've noticed no correlation between degree classification and problem solving ability. I have a 2:2 myself :)

It was a good rant until he encouraged writing a test after writing the code to be tested :( As a developer also with 12 years experience, I implore you to write your tests first . Otherwise your organisation will almost inevitably end up

I am most excited about template strings, simply because they let you write multiline strings. e.g. instead of "hello\n" + "world"; use `hello world`;

"The runtime-modifiable classes use a macro that registers the files themselves to be monitored. Whenever one of those files changes, we pick it up and recompile it into a DLL. By linking that DLL we can switch over to the new code, le

There isn't much of a difference. The underlying principles of how they work are essentially the same. However hg has IMHO a more pleasant UI, and it's easier to customise. I believe Facebook chose hg for the latter reason: https

Can someone delete this comment please? I'd like to read the other comments here but this one means I've got to scroll back and forth for each line :(

I'm glad you mention Qt. Qt bindings are an absolute necessity before my company (which also makes cross-platform applications) could consider adopting Rust.

I found that in my team that agile worked brilliantly for us at first - we were working together to create features that customers loved. Then support queries came in for the features we developed previously. At first a couple of team membe

Ironically that has already been reinvented in the form of Cap'n Proto: http://kentonv.github.io/capnproto/ (other than that I agree it's a good solution)

It is indeed rather nice. However I just started using PyCharm and it's on a whole other level: http://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/

Intel GPUs != solid OpenGL drivers. I do a lot of work in OpenGL and I curse Intel almost daily for the multitude of bugs in their OpenGL implementations. The GPUs' only saving grace is their ubiquity so at least I get a bug report qui

I'm genuinely curious, who and how do those people have a "vested interest in keeping the UK on the European fringes"?

Prohibitively? That really depends on your use case. OpenSceneGraph [1] uses intrusive reference counting pointers yet has been found suitable for many real time applications. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSceneGraph

by McP 13y ago
Neither of those statements are true, and the cited article doesn't back up your claim. Check out this thread safe reference counting pointer, it's not complicated: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_53_0/libs/smart_ptr/shared_p...

This seems naïve: "A character is not an Unicode character but a single byte." Disappointing from a developer who presumably types several ü characters each day.

It's linked from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/contribute/#coding which kind of makes it officialish

That's a shame. I think your project still has a lot of value, even if the results are used more for software that's end-user focussed.

It's not too hard to write a Mercurial extension to do that kind of thing. Copying the code for the EOL extension ( http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/EolExtension ) and modifying it would be a good start.
