I can see how you might say that but... what about... std::vector<std::pair<std::size_t, std::complex<float>>> data = SomeMethod(); vs auto data = SomeMethod();

I have, and it actually works well (performance wise). The maintenance burden is a little higher.

As expected, language start up time only matters to some people. Often in my case, Python is used to build command line tools (similar to the case of Mercurial). In such an event, the start-up time of the program might dominate the tot

Yeah, often the guess you have is something you have no confidence in. Also, I am just speculating as someone who has had similar problems... I did not contribute to this app. Another common case is the history of your behavior is fully rem

Usually happens due to very high uncertainty in localization estimates.

Sorry, what are the C++2x metaclasses? I haven't been following along very closely.

All people are imperfect. I have watched how market buzz words evolve, it is often not an intentional process. In many companies, there is very little direct cooperation between engineers and marketing/sales. In fact, it can get so b

Yes, I think in C++ at-least you are supposed to protect from this by never having the child directly implement the virtual method. This means inheritors only need to ensure they implement according to the specified constraints. I also susp

I do. And fwiw, "It takes a true Haskell mind to take something so intuitively obvious and make it incomprehensible." is both a compliment and a gibe. I guess most people are pessimists.

Yeah, that's a good point. In the sense, RubyOnRails was a great blessing to the language.

Additionally, writing a compiler really helps a team find their edge cases much faster. Without a major software undertaking for an immature language, most of those bugs would be found (and likely not reported) by users. But yeah, there&#x

Thanks for explanation. I've seen the damage of KSMD as well.

If your VM call to `fadvise` is not calling the underlying host kernel operation, is it even working?

So it is ethical to track hundreds of millions of people to manipulate them for profit. But unethical to defend power plants in the United States?

Can sndio replace Jack?

Yeah, a real shame too. I really liked the simplicity of `finance.google.com`. It appears new development has been done at `google.com/finance`... a different interface with less information. And it surprisingly still uses flash. So

I do not know Optimizely specifically. But there are many advantages to having fewer large customers than many small customers. Particularly if you are still inventing product.

Ask HN: Do any of these GCC/LLVM features exist?

Bookmarked, this is a very nice reference I will need to read in greater depth.

Hmm, this seems like it might create security leaks for developers using protobuf at public interfaces. They should probably have some kind of static configuration variable `DefaultDiscardUnknown = true`.

I use the C bindings for ZStandard, it performs very nicely as an algorithm. I wish the documentation was a little easier to use. I am still not sure if the provided examples really properly handle the degenerate cases of /dev/u

Because it's acronym is very unclear. I think it stands for "zero", but I am not sure.

I don't mean to be argumentative. MULTICS was in use by Honeywell Aerospace into the early 90's simulating physics models. There was a centralized computer which was programmed via punch cards which you could dial into to submit

In my experience... when you're dealing with external descriptors or programs where CPython releases the GIL on low-level operations which might be contended by multiple threads.

That sounds like the mantra of an anthropomorphised virus. But my down-votes seem to suggest it's popular opinion here. I'm just saying there was more to learn from America than "potatoes and corn are good".

I feel like sending earth worms to Mars is like sending pigs to South America. Perhaps there is nothing living there... I don't know. But do we need to have such an imperialist attitude with planets too?

It seems a bit older than that. Much of the design goals for Harvey were in the early MULTICS systems of the 70's. In some ways I view Plan9 as Bell Labs attempt to bridge the great components of MULTICS and UNIX together.

The real problem imho is that Mozilla hired a wild fox to become its CEO. Before becoming responsible for guidance and stewardship of a free and open internet, the fox primarily spent its time chasing mice and sneaking into chicken coops.

I have been a regular biker in a few major cities. Frankly the only rule I was aware of was "try not to die, try not kill anyone". I'm not sure most people know what the correct action is with a bike lane in the right-most l

This kernel model was written for the explicit purpose of modifying the BIOS[1]. The module writer makes the recommendation of not enabling in KConfig[2]. The question is did Ubuntu enable it by default and if so, why? [1] https:/&#
