I'm not following your logic. You're trying to say that the existence of regulation somehow prevents the spread of information via word of mouth? Besides, in Bangkok with its 8 million people, does the word of mouth even make an

Just because Vim was not designed for the mouse clicking UI environment does not mean that it's not designed well. If it weren't designed well, Vim would not be in widespread use 40 years after its inception.

It's all smoke and mirrors. Just as Dimon called bitcoin investors 'stupid' at the very time he was already trading bitcoin, Buffett's downplaying of bitcoin is also a sign that he wants to get in on the action.

It's an old program the source code for which may either not compile with the modern C++ compiler, or be lost. Back in 2000, Microsoft was using Visual Source Safe for managing its source code. I wouldn't be surprised if nobody

I hope that customer paid you enough for you trouble. But obviously it wasn't as much as it would have cost them to fix their crappy cron script.

I work as a software developer. Instead of working more hours I found another approach quite useful for productivity which is almost quite the opposite. The idea is that every day you have to call it a day at a certain hour. Let's s

The best thing about Iosevka is that it's configurable in so many different ways. You're not limited to a configuration that the author of the font thinks to be the best. The attention to details in Iosevka is also notable (like

> Luckily, my local Time Machine backups have always saved my ass. So you do backups for something that already functions like a backup system. That's fascinating. Did you know that Git does not lose anything? You might find &#x2

It doesn't have to be integrated. It shouldn't be hard to produce a .clang-format configuration file for this coding style.

This looks more like "Misunderstood TDD did not live up to expectations." It's obvious from the article that tests were written after the code. That explains the excessive coupling in the code and tests being hard to write a

Bullcrap. Another made-up story from WaPo based on anonymous sources and internal leaks. The NSA has not confirmed anything from this story.

Yes, I'd write that code in C++ in a single like if I could. At the moment it's not quite possible, but in C++17 and with ranges library the expressiveness of C++ will get quite close to the expressiveness of Python. It's no

I was in this situation more than once. My actions are usually these: * Fix the build system, automate build process and produce regular builds that get deployed to production. It's incredible that some people still don't underst

This guide is so primitive that it cannot be called useful. It can possibly be harmful, though, to those who don't know the language well and use this guide as a sole source of information.

Those are basic features, not "every feature". Black Screen needs to have basic features before it can be considered usable. Besides, it's macOS only, so I won't use it any time soon.

Small utilities with limited lifetime can be written in the same manner. You just allocate memory and never free it. When the utility finishes its job, it just terminates freeing all the memory it allocated in one shot.

Apple isn't making a Mac tower because there is no demand for overpriced machines with mediocre performance. All those people building hackintoshes want a cheap Mac desktop. They won't buy a new Mac tower should Apple produce on

For any reasonably complex codebase the complete rewrite is not possible. The first several versions of the rewrite will inevitably lack the functionality present in the original version and have more bugs compared to the original version.

This is spot on. I have observed this very thing happen with co-workers who abuse git aliases to "avoid git complexity." They have an alias for, say, "add everything, commit and push" and they end up committing all kin
