That's not really what extern "C" does though. It doesn't change the language rules or the parsing or anything, it only changes how symbols are represented in the object file. Extern "C" means they are mangled

>With "volatile variables" you can use compound assignment operators on the variable. What does that even mean? Nothing. It means exactly the same thing as on a normal variable, and it boggles the mind that people somehow not u

No, in C++, a pair of member variables is what I wrote. C++ has enough complexity already, there's no need for you to add additional false claims. The thing you pointed to is the standard library version of std::pair, written to be as

That's one way to look at it, I suppose. What I see is someone who travels around a country that is unfamiliar and inaccessible, and who focuses on showing us what life is like there. And that may not be incredibly spectacular, but I a

Here is a basic struct that stores two members in C++: struct foo { int a; int b; }; That's all. The thing you refer to is not a 'basic struct', it's complex standard library component.

According to the Dutch government, 87.1% of the Dutch over 18 are partially vaccinated, and 83.5% is fully vaccinated. For people over 12, those numbers are 84.9% and 81.4%. I don't know if the difference comes from "our world in

Competitive gamers aren't constantly switching between navigation mode and typing mode, and they use only a small fraction of all the keys on the keyboard. Also, if their experience is supposed to be indicative, HJKL should be replaced

Your dataset could, instead of gigabytes in a single request, also be a very large number of small requests all sent to a server to handle. Each message might be easily human-readable, yet the whole system would benefit from expedient proce

No, absolutely not. And I find it very sad that apparently Big Finance has managed to convince people that it would be.

What 'surplus' is that? It appears to me there is a deficit running into the trillions, every single year. For comparison: the US military budget is apparently around 0.7 trillion.

Mr. Westerbiek is saying that Dutch people think they're better at English than they generally are. Or maybe I misunderstood that? I'm Dutch, so who knows...

I suspect we can only handle a finite (and quite small) number of meaningful connections. The modern age has grown the number of available options from just those people within walking distance, i.e. at most a few thousand, to everyone with

"marketing!" It's always marketing, on the missing dots in this kind of list. Otherwise people don't know where they can buy whatever it is you are selling. Underpants, apparently, in this case.

I totally understand your point. I don't see why all the daylight hours need to happen during the time when I'm stuck in the office (or otherwise at work), leaving only darkness for the hours I'm not at work. This may have ma

You put a smiley so I suppose it's possible you know better, but this kind of shallow, thoughtless critique is just painful to read, especially when following such a well-presented, historically accurate description of the debate surro

I take offense at that. Yes, you might be achieving the holy grail of storing carbon , but a collection of identical, equidistant trees with barely any other form of life between them is not a forest , it's a soul-crushing horror sho

In my village in the Netherlands, a great amount of greenery has been eradicated in this last year. Gone are almost all the brambles with their delicious harvest, all we have now is grass, grass everywhere. Surrounding villages have the sam

Can someone explain this for someone who is not a web developer (which I'm guessing this is aimed at)? So there are frameworks out there that... generate frameworks that generate frameworks that generate websites? That seems excessive,

Once you're done with that one you can go on with more advanced subjects here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cISmv0IGoQQ From around 1:00 pointers are being discussed.

Also, there's already more on youtube than anyone could ever watch, and many people struggle with youtube addiction. Adding further platforms doesn't make things better, it makes things worse.

It's just a piece of programming knowledge being explained. It's very far from a 'semantic pitfall' or an 'esoteric niche'. Don't be such a drama queen.

Around 1800 or so, you could order a box of insects from the colonies, spend time carefully describing each, publish, and in so doing, with comparatively minimal effort, be a scientist. But the low-hanging fruit has largely been picked now,

I make software for the space industry and get attacked on things I can and will call utterly silly. Before that I wrote invoicing applications, and that was far worse. My question is: are there places where people don't scream at you

So a conclusion that uses a false generalisation must be accepted at face value despite its faulty logic? This has nothing to do with opinion, mine or otherwise; the article is pushing a policy on the basis of broken logic. And yes, I can d
