Those hit a bit too close to some of the plot points of the White Christmas episode of the Black Mirror series.

Kind of a missed opportunity to not stick an "everyone" in there :-). Or is the phrase copyrighted/trademarked?

What I want is for the semantics of the language to match the semantics of the physical machine I'm writing software for. If on x86 INT_MAX+1==INT_MIN, then that's what should happen on x86. If on ARM INT_MAX+1==INT_MAX, that'

One note about the interface - the rotation arrows are very confusing. You should always put the curve on top, rather than on bottom, since most people think of rotation directions based on the movement of a point on the top of the arc. Add

You could think of it like, once Disney has permeated our culture to such a degree, people would collectively decide they don't deserve to own them and their kids and erode copyright. The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more s

Have you tried QtCreator? It is somewhat Qt-centric, but other than that it's an excellent IDE.

OpenCL always reminds me of "implementing the for keyword as a class in Java"... Yes, you can get pretty much the same semantics, but the code gets awfully unwieldy. Compare to the CUDA alternative where a lot of this is implement

robots.txt already lets you specify per-robot behaviour. You can trivially opt-out of crawling, but opt-in to archiving by explicitly allowing archive.org's bot and disallowing all other user agents.

Whether huge states vs lots of small states are desirable or not is another topic entirely though.

Maybe you need more people to handle the surge? There are hard physical limits on how much attention a person can pay.

What the hell does "symbolic" even mean in that comment. Can you rephrase that in plain English?

GTK2 was a universal toolkit. Only with GTK3 the developers stated they're absolutely focusing only on a toolkit for GNOME and everyone else can take a hike.

Yes. Just tested starting a gedit and sending it Ctrl-Z in the terminal. Completely unresponsive window, can't drag titlebar, can't click on X. But that's what users want, right? Feature parity with Mac OS X and Windows.

I call bullshit on the theory that Gtk devs decided to focus on touch. There are exactly 0 projects for tablets running vanilla linux distros (i.e. not Android).

I wonder if, in time, this won't morph into just telling the window manager the layout and widgets in your window... then we can have full abstraction over all widget toolkits. Like, you send it some sort of xml description of your win

For law and medicine - is it because there's less sexism, or because the fields are more prestigious and therefore women who wish to be in those fields let more of it slide in the interest of retaining and advancing their career?

The first and last time I bought an ATI card was in 2003. In the 12 years since then, the drivers have become a little bit more stable and support the newer OpenGL interfaces. They continue to be light years behind nVidia.

Oh please. Your eyes are a system rife with bugs. You have a blind spot that exists for absolutely no good reason - the bundle of nerves can just as well connect to the back of the retina rather than the front. About 50% of people have a de
