If it's not documented it's not part of the "public API". Software using Semantic Versioning MUST declare a public API. This API could be declared in the code itself or exist strictly in documentation. However it is don

The Python "argcomplete" module[1] generates shell completions for any program that uses argparse, so it's certainly doable. [1] https://github.com/kislyuk/argcomplete

Indeed. git diff --color-words will often do the trick for prose, but the real solution is plugging a sentence-oriented diff viewer into git difftool. git difftool is extendable by setting git config variables, so it's very much doabl

Yes. Always chain sequential commands with &&. Always. This style is pretty prevalent when writing test cases in shell (or just shell scripts in general), e.g. when using something like sharness[1]. [1] https://github.co

Too bad it's a mirage I hate to spoil your worldview, but modern C++ is very alive and well in the scientific computing communities. Disney Animation implemented a new renderer using it, and our next movie is currently being rendere

Back in the day, crosstool was a solid way to build cross-compilers: http://kegel.com/crosstool/ I haven't really kept up with the latest stuff, but I've seen mentions of crosstool-ng, which may be a newer ta

Seems like this attack could be trivially prevented by disabling speech recognition while speech synthesis is running The paper mentions that they save the synthetic voice to .wav files first, and only later play them back, so this would

There's a wealth of numerical code in C++. Calling into C is pretty straightforward, but with C++ it's a complicated choice between Swig, sip, shiboken, BoostPython, ..., or hand-writing your language bindings to C++ code in exte

This looks nice. I would suggest avoiding macros in the final release; it should be possible to implement CROW_ROUTE() using template meta-programming instead of #define's.

Binary compatibility is noble goal, but when you have the source code to everything it can also be advantageous to just rebuild dependents. The Windows source code contained lots of extra complexity because of its legacy compatibility comm

Exactly. I feel like this post was blaming Gtk+ when it seems like the real problem was the distro not realizing that their package dependencies didn't trigger a rebuild. If something breaks ABI compatibility, that doesn't mean it

git reset --hard These days there's little reason to do reset --hard. `git reset --merge` is much safer and can be used almost anytime you would have otherwise done `--hard`. e.g. if you want to force your branch to point at "fo

Another reason I've heard for avoiding getFoo() is that on certain typefaces the lower-case "g" and "s" look similar enough that folks with bad vision can confuse them[1]. Thus foo() and setFoo() are clearer than g

This is nice! A few comments: When you are on a closed node, hitting "l" (lower-case L) would be a nice way to open that node. When you are on a opened node, hitting "h" would be a nice way to close that node. It seems
