I have hundreds of movies rated in my Netflix DVD account. I wish I could export my ratings and import them elsewhere. Any such options? Amazon Prime shows movies’ star ratings (from IMDb?), but didn’t let users rate movies, AFAICT. I’ve fo

If you’re designing a stable API for external users, you might want to lock down your API even more by forward declaring the struct types as opaque in the public header file and only defining the struct members in a private library header f

Translation: training GPT-5 will cost time and money, so we’re going to cash in on the commercialization of GPT-4 now while it’s hot. A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.

I’m glad to hear that. I had wondered whether most Haxe users used the nightly releases. That might be more common for projects that have a few main contributors: they fix issues blocking them and use their own builds without the overhead m

Haxe development doesn’t seem very active: the last minor release, 4.2.5, was 13 months ago. The last major release, 4.2.0, was two years ago. Even if Haxe was effectively feature complete, I would expect maintenance for bug fixes and keepi

strcmp's return value is loosely defined because some implementations return the difference between the characters in the string to avoid some conditional checks or jumps. Something like: int d = a[i] - b[i]; if (d == 0) return d

I bet “should begin with the letter E” was one of Microsoft’s requirements for selecting a new browser name so they could continue to use IE’s familiar “e” app icon.

Yes, but beware that many websites are broken when “resistFingerprinting” is enabled. That’s why that mode is not enabled by default or an opt-in option in Firefox’s settings UI.
