It's a very tough tradeoff. You're not the first to take aim at it, and that's fair. Visual C++, GCC/Clang, and Intel C++ have quite different syntax for declaring inline assembler. I did not wish to burden libco users w

So you can cover about 95% of the library (and 99% of the games people want to play) with about 20 or so mappers. From there it can be a slog to support them all, but conceptually mappers are really very simple. Almost all of them are just

Friendly note: they modify the stock install to enable root SSH login via password. I'd strongly recommend disabling that. Go to RSA key login as user only. In an absolute emergency, their GUI portal will let you log in as root via pas

I run https://byuu.org using C++. Not just for page generation, but also for the server itself. It's all a single package, so no CGI is involved. Although I do use nginx as an HTTP->HTTPS proxy because TLS is scary. It&#

And that's why the older model worked better: a donor would pledge $1 to twenty creators, and would get charged one $20 transaction fee at the beginning of each month. The creators ate the Paypal fee (usually 4-5%), and then Patreon co

Well, shoot. I just took ciprofloxacin for a week following a minor surgery, and noticed that I've lost some of the sensation in my upper right leg. I assumed it was caused by the surgery, but in six weeks, it hasn't improved. Not

Ideally, yes. It may not've been popular at that point, but Linus did. But what about the next Linus of 2017? Something like that's not going to be possible anymore. Just the basic necessary hardware drivers alone. The hardest cha

I'm all for everyone commenting so at least it's well known how far this FCC is going against public opinion, and encourage everyone to make their voices heard. But, and I hate to be the cynic here, does anyone really believe that

4-AcO-DMT is psilacetin, which is an acetylated form of 4-HO-DMT, or psilocin. Acetylization seems to result in an easier time crossing the blood-brain barrier, resulting in a quicker onset of effects, with a matched quicker comedown. You&#

Unfortunately, Amazon is a large part of the problem too. People who want to watch Japanese cartoons get to pay for yet another streaming service, and for years there was a split where we had to pay for both Crunchyroll and Funimation. We

As a whole, I'm much more happy that I did than if I hadn't. Over the past 13 years, I've been developing console emulators for 12 systems and counting. If my work were closed source, I would not have received patches and con

And here we all really thought their recent redesign to add border-radius: 50% to literally everything on the site (avatars, text boxes, buttons, etc) and to strip all contrast away from the icons by hollowing them all out would bring about

I'd love to use nouveau. Unfortunately, they aren't concerned with anything other than Linux, so there's no FreeBSD port for me to use.

For me the last big one is longer-lasting certificates. I'd like a three-year cert like letsencrypt.org uses for their site, instead of the 90-day ones they offer. I much prefer the CA industry practice of, put a meta tag on your front

Removing the web client of Netflix would hurt them a lot more than it'd hurt Google and Mozilla. I really don't believe that without EME, Netflix would abandon their web client. They'd just keep using Flash, which I am fine w

Why can't HTML5 be relevant without Netflix? Most gamers use Steam, not WebGL, and the internet hasn't fallen apart. People can survive using Roku/FireTV/AppleTV/PS4/XB3/standalone PC app for their streami

I'm aware, but that's perfectly legal code. Every warning case I've described can result in bugs, but the problem is when you intended to do what you did, you can't get the compiler to shut up about it there. For the

It triggers a lot in generic code (eg templates), where it's not so obvious the result is going to be tautalogical until you instantiate the template. Another time I've used it is just pure aesthetics: if(addr >= 0x0000 &
