I'm a fan of the C++ method. R"SQL(my string without the sequence S Q L goes here)SQL" You can use any extra delimiter you want. The concatenation rules make it easy for you to easily insert source code line breaks

I agree with you. TR36 is outright terrifying. I might feel more comfortable if the recommendations were already baked into foundational libraries like libicu, but they aren't. Its as if I'm wading into a world with as many foo

Its the same with SpaceX. Musk wants to build a Libertarian utopia on Mars under his personal control in his own lifetime.

I love it all. Cortex-M0, M3, M4, M7, and A7 all together span several full orders of magnitude in performance. Every one of them has their niche. Unfortunately for ARM, all of those designs are many years old and they are still nearly o

Latin didn't even evolve lowercase letterforms until the 9th century AD. "J" didn't evolve as its own letter until sometime in the 16th century AD. Early Roman had only 19 or 20 distinct (strictly uppercase) letters de

Its also important to note that Rust changed radically in its early life. Here's one of its core authors describing some of the changes they went through (in part) as a result of dogfooding the language in its own compiler, in the co

The BLAS have historically relied on a wide range of microarchitecture-specific optimizations to get the most out of each processor generation. An ideal solution would be for the browser to provide that to the application in such a way tha

In the presence of types which are truthy (ie, contextually convertible to bool), its too easy to accidentally swap the unpacking: // Oops, backwards! auto [result, error_code] = do_something(); if(error_code) {

This is a widely-held belief, but it isn't true. Maybe once upon a time in the land of spinning rust that was true, but it certainly isn't now. Databases are fast enough that a scripting language frequently is the performance

The receiving process gets a copy of the file descriptor. Both processes must close(2) it.

If process A opens a file and passes a file descriptor to process B, then process B's descriptor will continue to refer to the same object regardless of what process A does. Process A can unlink the descriptor, swap the directory entry

Is there a way to get this behavior with the implicit index on the primary key?

My own recommendation is NIST Technical Note 1385 "Global Positioning System Receivers and Relativity" by Ashby and Weiss[0], and the GPS ICD for the L1 and L2C signals IS-GPS-200[1]. They are aimed at the practitioner who actuall

Even better, use a receiver in low-earth orbit. See also: COSMIC, GeoOptics, Spire, and PlanetiQ.

The natural expression of the DOP matrix is 4x4, since the receiver is computing a solution in 4D space-time. Its pretty common for the dominant eigenvector to be along the time-vertical axis for a terrestrial receiver.

Perl uses ~ for string concatenation. Nothing says that you cannot use both infix "++" for concatenation and unary ++ for increment. "-" is both a unary prefix and binary infix operator, for example.

Apple filesystems are infamous for breaking this convention. IIUC, they will support codepoints which expand to 4 bytes in UTF-8, but their implicit normalization rules can trip up programs which expect behavior closer to POSIX norms.

That's part of why the capture list is explicit in C++. Automatic by-reference captures should only be used for lambdas whose scope is strictly lexical (ie, passed down the call stack, aka "downward funargs"). Otherwise sti
