This is contrary to my understanding of mainstream keyboard technology. Scancodes, like what you're looking at with Linux input, mainly refer to physical positions relative to a “standard” keyboard, and the labels in the header file fo

As another non-QWERTY user, I usually want desktop keybindings (excluding games) to follow layout changes, because I'm remembering the function by the mnemonic. Most applications have this behavior on my existing FDO/Linux system.

I broadly agree with the lots-of-pitfalls nature, but regarding the enum case specifically, which version of C++ are you talking about, and in what syntactic context? The later-introduced “enum class” makes things somewhat tighter than C-st

And if the senders are mostly within the US military and are thus resolving that domain through their infrastructure, changing the outgoing domain resolution configuration for the mail servers may be able to help with this.

There's a third vertex to the triangle here: C++ and Rust allow both at the same time by dropping separate compilation. More thoroughly so in Rust than in C++, but header-focused libraries move C++ further toward whole-program compilat

It's possible to use a type parameter in a throws clause in Java, last I checked (as I also mentioned in more detail above). But it doesn't seem to be common practice, so interop is still a disaster.

Do you currently pay for much or any of the libre software you use? Of course many published libre software packages have no workable monetization scheme attached, but many of them have a facility for donations, and then there are major fou

So what would be different between those and forked processes?

Do they still have the “in case of problems, you might be asked to supply a local postal address for communication” sort of thing that got introduced a bit over a decade ago? (I forget the details and am not in a position to recheck right n

That can decay to ~zero from a career-agency standpoint though if it's not the limiting reagent for professional access to the next level—that is, if the assignments you can get next all include the same thing at the same speed regardl

I believe you mean “hash functions are not injective”.

Incidentally, this is nearly identical on top to the pattern Erlang uses for the same reason, where most processes couple a long-lived “behavior” with a callback module with a particular structure and a pure-data state value threaded throug

The domain seems to have been picked up as a false positive for spam/malware in places. They were blocked by Quad9 too due to one of their underlying data sources (I forget which), but they were unblocked after I submitted a false posi

For anyone who doesn't want to follow the link, the practical gist in that case is indeed that LuaJIT wins and they don't care about later Luas. (Edited somewhat for wording post facto.)

Side question for all of you who are saying “the Lua language is very stable”: do you mean you're staying on Lua 5.1/5.2? If so, is this driven by LuaJIT essentially freezing everything in place by grabbing so many users and libra

The non-response to SIGINT makes it a more serious impediment if you get it wrong in a tight situation, though. It's not like a short joke message or something. (Yes, I know you can SIGQUIT instead.)

I can't speak in detail to whether it'd work or be a good idea, but there has been an attempt to design a fraud-resistant carbon capture coin. https://www.gwern.net/CO2-Coin

For the boolean case, yes. But note also that an Emacs instance can open frames on multiple displays. This is not necessarily that hard to get if, for instance, you start with some X frames and then invoke emacsclient in a terminal in a way

I'm not seeing from the error message how that qualifies as a glibc symbol compat issue as such. On the face of it, it looks like the application is vendoring its own libm rather than using the system glibc's libm, and then it tri

HSV and not HSL for that mental model? That's surprising to me—I thought the tint/shade system would lead to wanting to put max-chroma in the middle.

Because if you're modifying a function and you're adding a new variable to hold some intermediary value, you might accidentally pick a variable name that already exists. If you're in the habit of writing := to signal your i
