So, unmaintainable undocumented untestable legacy code? Yes please, rewrite it, break it, and when its real intended behavior is understood, write tests and document it so the next guy doesn't have to wonder about that crazy function.

Most vacs are adjustable. Also, I think they're trying to maintain a roughly constant speed of the fan, not a constant power. Which would mean that they reach peak power when airflow is obstructed, and idle at lower power when air is

I think EAP300 is rated 26dbA on its lowest level. I don't mind expensive, I'm tired of buying poor quality products.

Speaking of air purifiers, does anyone have recommendations for one that is quiet and still effective? I have a pair of Electrolux EAP300s, in small rooms. Unfortunately on the lowest manual setting ("Quiet") they hardly do anythi

Yep, sometimes we have to do without cushy debuggers and easy reproducibility in a test environment. A registers dump and a top few stack items may very well be all you have for figuring out a bug.

Even browsing beyond the first few pages of results can end you up having to play with captchas. Also it's funny how they lie about having about a quadrillion results, and then when you're on page 12, suddenly that's all the

Also posting dieharder results as validation (and the only kind of validation!) smells like a joke.

Linking a hobby project isn't necessarily meant to say anything about attitude at work. At work, the expected attitude might very well be that you have to bend over for and pamper customers and deal with no end of bullshit. Or maybe

I think if you're actively deploying malware that people will run, the case is pretty clear. And when you say "for common use", it sound like you know that it is or intend it to be distributed and run by many people. What&#x

The complaint is more about bad interfaces. One of the examples (unix command line tools) has a very clumsy interface if you're trying to use it from within a lower level program: create pipes for input & output, fork, exec, use

I'd say the correct way to is to use lrint or lround and check for errors the standard way.

I mean I still buy and play games that were made 20+ years ago. Shame they have so many bugs we can't really fix. I don't buy websites that were made 20 years ago. Almost every commercial site has seen multiple rewrites in that

I feel like there must be something way wrong with the way vsync is implemented in most games. It often feels like it adds massive latency (like an entire extra buffered frame, like bad implementations of triple buffering), but if my FPS i

Fun, but maybe not terribly educational. It'd be easier to internalize the pitfalls of concurrency when shown a problem, and a way to (attempt to) fix it, and the ways the fix breaks, and the correct way. You can play this game like a

Lying is saying something you know to be not true. Saying something you don't know to be true is just spewing bullshit or practicing a religion.
