But does Whiz count as dairy or is it purely a petroleum distillate?

The tarball, with its signed hash, is the authoritative source with immutable ID. Not every project uses git. Not every project uses a public VCS. Git history can be changed with a simple command and is unreliable. The point of a tarball is

Wait, I though the cheesemakers are blessed? What if it's Whiz?

The authors are required to make it obtuse. They're required to use warts on all of the names because most of the code is in the head files and is generative code compiled by users of the library rather than the vendor. In order to avo

Child classes can override private member functions in their parent class. Making all virtual functions private is the better way to implement inheritance: it separates implementation from interface, allows for common functionality to be mo

Unless you're looking for a compelling reason to switch. For example, I use VS Code sometimes because of its markdown preview pane. That's not available in emacs or vim (to my knowledge).

Sometimes an n7m?

Why would I choose notepad++ over something like vim or emacs? Is there a compelling differentiator?

I'm a maple syrup producer in Ontario and I can state unequivocally there is no marketing board or supply-side economics for maple products here. You make it, you sell it, people buy it. Do maple trees even grow in BC? I'm not awa

One is really hard-pressed to argue these little loadable executables are ELF files. They do not conform to the ELF standard. They're simply tiny loadable Linux executables because they exploit the Linux kernel loader's slackness

The ST was named using Sam Tramiel's initials, so I always assumed TOS was Tramiel Operating System. It's all Tramiel from Commodore on down.

What a load of crap. We tapped our trees a couple of weeks early this year and had just about normal production levels. It just seems to have stopped a couple weeks earlier than usual because of a cold spell and an awful lot of cloud cover

Does this require everyone present a government ID to access anything online? Are international content provider going to be compelled to report transgressions to Florida state authorities?

Because when you take a real cat apart to see how it works you can never get everything back inside and it never works quite right again.

That's not a problem with unions. That's a problem with the capture of labour regulation by greedy capitalists. It's just another manifestation of enclosure. Don't blame the symptoms for the problem.

Most of it was because of the channels. People buy a phone from their carrier. They don't buy from an OS manufacturer. They don't even buy from a phone manufacturer. They get a plan and it comes with a phone. Carriers only distrib

You may be prejudiced against C++, but ISO/IEC 14882 is a published international standard that links to recognized regex standards, so answers the question "does anyone consider RegEx standardised?" very much in the affirmat

The ISO/IEC 14882 C++ standard library <regex> mandates [0] implementations for six de jure standard regex grammars: IEEE Std 1003.1-2008 (POSIX) [1] BRE, ERE, awk, grep, and egrep and ECMA-262 EcmaScript 3 [2]. So, yes, at least

You'd need a pretty special distro to have enabled -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables by default in its toolchain. By default on most Linux distros the frame tables are built into all the binaries, and end up in the GNU_EH_FRAME segment,

Context switches are incredibly expensive. Given the sampling rate of eBPF profilers all the useful information would get lost in the context switch noise. Things get even more complicated because context switches can mean CPU migrations, m

The old programs do their job. They work and they're stable. But I guess you can try to change that if you want.
