Compilers don't strictly adhere to standards, and I'm far more concerned with things like whether my compiler crashes, how godawful the error messages are, and whether the bundled STL even functions reliably.

but just ended up restating the obvious: obsessive male geeks can be a pain to work with (regardless of gender) I wish we could get this message out there. If more women are interested in programming, great, but all I care about is makin

Sounds like some combination of low-grade depression and anxiety. It's not helped by modern society generally not expressing gratitude or affection for each other. What you're feeling is pretty common.

I spent a decade watching C++ painfully slowly add more advanced template support and... well, that's about it. After a million iterations of "for (mylisttype::const_iterator i ..." they finally added ranged for loops. The r

Pardon the dumb question, but is the term ABI new (or experiencing a recent increase in usage)? I've seen it twice in the last 24 hours, and never before in my life. And that's despite being entirely too familiar with COM.

No you don't. I'm 6'2", 200, 15 - 17% body fat, and my BMI is too high. I'm only moderately active (no gym time, just active or laborious hobbies).

Do people actually go back and look at all these pictures and videos of themselves? Yes. To counter this, let me ask you: what's with people who don't enjoy the hobby of photographing and recording things always making the abs

As a motorcyclist, I just want them to innovate the painfully obvious feature of a waterproof pass-through for power. I have a Hero Session, which is a delightful small item, but you can only feed power to it by opening the waterproof cove

I don't know why you're getting down voted. It's somewhat shocking to me that MDMA would have any kind of even slightly similar effect on such a wildly different animal.

as the first somewhat interesting thing? But it's not interesting, that's the point. Obviously it is* interesting to the author, because it's a dangerous weapon, just like the explosives are dangerous weapons. That, again

But, by my understanding, the sarcomeres, which are the source of the actual movement, don't run end to end, they're chains. The entire line of reasoning seems to rest on the idea that the smallest unit we consider runs from one e

The average American male seems to carry more upper body muscle mass than, say, your average Indian male. You don't have to look like Schwarzenegger or The Rock to find yourself bumping up against the general guideline numbers.

I took risks as a kid and then went out and crashed cars and motorcycles as an adult. I didn't learn anything about motorcycle dynamics from falling out of trees or face-planting off shoddy bicycle ramps.

force is proportional to the cross section of the muscle. This never made any sense to me. Muscles are made up of groups of fibers, which are made up of chains of sarcomeres. How could strength be proportional to cross sectional area ra

Because it's not even remotely notable and much of the article was about literal bombs. Would they write "within ten minutes they retrieved an old wrench"? Because, barring additional details, that's exactly the same i

While the BBC filmed him and his two uncles, it took just 10 minutes before they found a knife in the canal. That's some very British pearl-clutching.

The Segway was banned from San Francisco sidewalks almost immediately upon release. You really think NIMBYs are going to sit quiet as the streets fill up with empty cars circling like sharks?

Trucks and SUVs are slowly cannibalizing sedan sales in the US. So not only do people like driving, the vehicles they tend to purchase are increasing in size. I think this statement is misleading. The market has filled with SUVs that are

I could see a shopping mall and restaurants from my hotel across a busy multi-lane road and there was literally no way to get there on foot. This is almost exactly the situation described by Bill Bryson in I'm a Stranger Here Myself

Or we could take an alternative route, and collectively grow a thicker skin and show a bit more emotional maturity, instead of seeking offence in every situation. No. I've been reading apologist nonsense like that for literally deca

But equally important is everyone on the other side working to avoid being consumed by emotion, and learn to control their emotions better You just described exactly what Linus needs to do. It's not any easier for Linus to always be

I have to wonder if Linux would even be remembered other than as a footnote at this time without his forceful personality being in the mix. He probably would, because he's a fairly prodigious developer working on hard problems. He w

Almost certainly Linus didn't write his rants in order to gain some sort of sadistic pleasure I don't find that assertion convincing. I guess what would be called abusive by many was merely a "stern talking-to" to Lin

More people can walk than can/will ride a bike. Many old people avoid biking due to poor balance and strength, but can walk without issue. Biking allows you to move without moving your full body weight across your for and ankle. Bic
