I've never head of TWSBI, although I do enjoy Moleskine. Would you be able to give a comparison between them?

This isn't aimed at you, but I think it's interesting that a couple of days ago (yesterday?) we had a thread where people said they would like a company to be honest and upfront about the need to make a profit, and clear about it

Isn't K related to Q (and KDB)? We have one guy at work responsible for all of our KDB stuff because no one wants to learn either!

I have to say, I work for a bulge bracket bank ran entirely (well, mostly) on MSSQL 2008/2012, and I don't think I've ever had any issues with it, apart from the one set of DBs that someone decided to turn into a backend for

Security and media devices are what a lot of people seem to go for, or DIY IoT. I know your pain, I have a few Raspberry Pi's sitting in my draw...

People generally seem to go for it instead of C++, from what I've heard it's got a cleaner syntax and less (none?) UB.

It's not about want, it's about a requirement that they're maintained, expanded.

Surely there's a simple way to improve: go to events and talk to people.

What vi-mode extension would you recommend? Vimperator always seemed worse than Vimium (on Chrome), mainly because the scrolling is jittery.

I think the distinction between nullable types and the non-nullable types you speak of is fairly narrow, you've just made it type safe (which isn't a bad thing!).

const means a completely different thing depending on what language you come from (even JavaScript). I think readonly has a much clearer meaning.

But isn't that exactly how dynamic linking works? By loading a DLL at runtime? The only issues I've ever had with dynamic linking are at _runtime_, where XXX.dll can't be found.

The opposite where I work - literally no one has a CS degree, but there's plenty of people who've studied Humanities or the arts.

Ive always wondered why they don't break the text editor from Visual Studio out into a native lightweight editor. If they did that I would switch from Notepad++ for my text file editing on Windows. However, even if there was a native V

It does come with thousands of packages still installed. Check out the Arch distro, that should be much smaller.

While Visual Studio is a testament to understanding your users, it's not great software. Randomly slow downs (even with Visual Assist turned off) and hanging every time you open a moderate (~50 project) solution.

Moleskine squared notepads are my favourite writing materials in the world. It would be nice if they weren't so expensive, but it's worth the cost.

It's a lot better (and easier!) with a different tile set. Definitely worth taking the time to play, fantastic game.

As far as I was aware it was the areas that the least amount of immigrants that wanted to vote for leave, but at this point it's moot. And I wouldn't say that fears over immigration are xenophobic, I think that the referendum came

I'm currently working on a code base that's just upgrading to MSVC 10.0, and seeing std::vector::value_type(?)::const_iterator everywhere is killing me.

Deluge is pretty good, that's what I tend to go for.

In your C++ example you're giving `std::mismatch`, which is a generic algorithm. If you're so inclined you could provide a wrapper that has the same interface as the Go example, but you're comparing apples to oranges. I'

Which would introduce the overhead of a vtable, which would vary depending on how deep your inheritance goes. I haven't read the article, but I would maybe use an enum if this is just use to parse variable declarations.

That's a rather arbitrary statement; C _compiles_ to machine code that maps pretty directly to an assembly language, which is normally not far off of the abstraction level offered by C. Taking the definition of transpile being translat

I happen to disagree. Exceptions are a powerful abstraction over errors that allow you to highlight the exact context of an error of handled properly by avoiding catches that just throw and actually giving the exception body useful informat

I've not seen any way to stop it, but I used to use a tool that would clean it all up on the first instance and move them on every additional time. There was something about moving them (and not deleting them) that stopped them regener
