   As mentioned in another comment, the use of 'auto' isn't just to shorten an unwieldy type name. > The primary use-case of auto returns is for templated functions where the return type depends on the thing passed in.

   One of the problems is that whatever you happen to be focusing on, you also have to be able to react quickly to potential hazards. I'm pretty sure (guessing) that being not particularly focused on the road is still significantly better

   I can't even think of a language that has first class complex numbers, let alone complex number literals.

   Another interesting thing is how the size of the apple affects the flavor. My local super market sells two sizes of Fuji apples, 'Large' and 'Lunchbox'. For whatever reason, the large ones have exponentially better flavo

   It's probably based off of their users' self-identified information.

   Reading this reminded me of an article I read a little while ago talking about the tradeoffs "biohackers" take on to try to get ahead on relatively untested techniques[0]. It seems a little silly to think that shocking your brain

    I really wish we had a proper 'web assembly' instruction set to compile to. JavaScript has proved itself to be a surprisingly adequate language over the years, but there is only so much optimization you can do with its language sp

    This is really interesting considering that if you just memorize a sufficiently long string of random Base 3 numbers you can't lose more than 50% of the time, but with any discernible strategy you use to gain an edge there is a counter

    I found the Rust video pretty informative. Rust, for better or worse, is already pretty complex, but this gave a really nice high level overview of some of its more important features.

    The video certainly doesn't predate the IO monad, but the point was that Haskell was designed as an academic language with zero emphasis on practicality, and has grown in usefulness over time.

    Coming from a JS/Mongo background rather than Rails, I was completely expecting a Collection.find() of some sort. Why should a product know how to find itself?

    This type of spam seems like the comment equivalent of "native advertising", where the goal is to trick the reader into believing that it is organic content when really the point is to sneak a brand impression upon them.

    Remove the unsafe package asap, and do database operations the safe way. edit: For downvoters, the author has the 'development mode' package still in the project which allows you full read/write to the database without any cr

    This is probably obvious to anyone with a legal background, but does this carry any weight? Or is it just a gentleman's agreement that could turn into a lawsuit if you make them angry enough?

    I also don't understand why VCs pick companies that are clearly courting a huge lawsuit by providing a platform for people to ignore local laws.

    Depending on how carefully you want to track how you eat, I would recommend dropping the weight loss to ~1lb per week (~500 calories under TDEE). Any faster than that and you'll probably be sloughing off whatever muscle you already hav

    The deal with having string literals not be delimited by actual characters is that you don't have to escape characters. What you see is what you get.

    "some have speculated that the Jews adopted this after their exile in Babylon in the sixth century B.C." Citation needed. The Torah would clearly put the 7 day week as one of the earliest doctrines, far before the Babylonian exile

    Lambdas are not particularly complicated, but the way to make them simple is to compare to other language's implementation, not other C++ features.

    I find that for me, Spotify is really only good if I already know exactly what I want to listen to. Also, it's ads are incredibly loud compared to the music sometimes. Hopefully Soundcloud doesn't follow that aspect.

    Maybe the stuff we want to buy has gotten increasingly expensive. College, phone and internet, all on a stagnating wage.

    Thanks for this. I've been wanting to pick up a bit more new C++, but haven't found a lot of great resources.
