That would work, but that means branching to handle the left/right difference. The author mentioned that he wants to avoid branching to maximize performance. Avoiding branching is still relevant on modern machines when optimizing hots

How about, let's hope Apple open sources Swift like they did with Objective C To be honest, don't hold your breath. If you research the history of Objective-C you'll realize that it was in fact the first GPL violator. It&#

An image diff is pretty simple. If you represent an image as a vector of values, diffing just means subtracting two vectors abs(A-B) and writing out the result into a new image. template<typename T> T diff(const T& a, co

rather than converting things silently and possibly losing or corrupting data Exactly. Python3 went down the "silently converting" route, and it's not pretty[1]. I would go so far as to call it harmful. http://

This is probably true. An ex-coworker that worked in a chip factory in high school used to say, "Don't eat the BBQ flavor chips!"

I'm a C++ developer, and Rust looks very exciting to me. Maybe I'm optimistic, but Rust really looks like it can be a serious C++ contender in the long run. Talking with other C++11/C++14 users here, the general feeling is t

Personally I don't think it's so useful of a feature; it saves typing a few asterisks but obscures the fact that you're actually modifying some other variable There are many real-world use cases where references are exactly

I noticed that the description says, "Inspired by SourceTree" for the line-by-line staging feature, but actually git-cola[1] invented that feature, before even git-gui, and SourceTree just copied us 8^) Also, if you're going

Teflon is bad too[1]. It's quite horrible IMO. Additional source: I know a lawyer that worked for DuPont. Their job was ensuring that DuPont would never be held accountable for problems caused by Teflon. That was enough evidence for me

Unfortunately qmail shows its age and may no longer be a good choice these days Last I checked, Yahoo (Mail) uses qmail. Can anyone verify whether that is still true today?

I tried submitting an existing project. Sure, it wasn't created yesterday, but... You're not supposed to submit a project created ONE year ago. People just want fresh air. That's a bummer. Why not? Fresh air did n

Very interesting, I never considered looking at the conflicts that way. It might be helpful to allow looking at the conflicts in the diff3 conflict marker style. The advantage is that you get to see the common ancestor, which can be crucial

For Big Hero 6 we also translated and replaced all of the Japanese text in San Fransokyo with Chinese and Korean for the Chinese and Korean markets. By "text" I mean all of the CG signs, posters, and environmental set dressing

This is really interesting. moz6581, can you please email the Git development mailing list[1], I'm pretty sure there are lots of folks there who may have missed this that are interested in this topic. This approach is novel and quite g

That's a good idea, but people will steal them anyways. Sometimes things get stolen for no reason ~ e.g. my bike seat got stolen. I'm pretty sure they didn't need it.

An interesting metric is that the San Fransokyo city shots in BH6 contain more geometry on screen than all of the shots on Frozen combined. In the past we would have used a matte painting for distant background stuff. It's pretty sweet

Another factor is that Linus' colorful rants are the only ones that people hear about. There's a sampling bias there. No one ever talks about the "uninteresting" day-to-day stuff.
