When I heard about D it was often in combination with issues that seemed rather basic. Like multiple mutually exclusive runtime libraries that made D libraries incompatible with each other from the start, or hard version breaks that where t

Just hope they aren't using Xerox to digitize those documents. That glyph substitution bug from a few years ago made quite a few would be digital archivists rather unhappy.

We could ask JRR himself what he thinks about getting ripped of by 90% of the fantasy genre. A lot of sold works are comparable to badly written fanfiction with inly a thin pretense of originality.

At least the wiki article on MISRA C cites multiple studies that consider the rules mostly pointless, in some cases outright counterproductive and basically accuses it of being only beneficial to companies selling compliance tools. If MISCR

The dev. at VW was at least smart enough to keep the paper trail around. Lets hope the people working for this company did the same.

One of dozens of parts is out of stock and as the other comment points out itself it is also the part that makes the least sense to replace.

> I would have assumed that you don't want to use uint_fast16_t to store anything that doesn't fit in 16 bits. I could have a 16 bit wide bitmask in it, lets flip them ~myMaskFast16, that leaves the higher order bits set to 0xF

uint_fast16_t is the fastest type (for some undefined meanings of fast) that holds at least 16 bits, I don't think the standard guarantees that it even has to fit into an int, so we are already silently discarding data. Worse if it use

So you picked an example the average reader would find believable, is likely to spread, but is complete bullshit without marking it as such?

While I wouldn't be surprised if browsers still haven't managed to actually replace flash there have to be dozens of ways to rotate a circle without rotating the rectangle it is contained in. In the case of svg you can, as far as

Did they ever invest much into it? As far as I understand they got the core components from Spyglass Inc. and avoided paying licensing fees by giving it away for free.

Java dropped the leading 1 with version 5 since Sun decided it would never go for a complete rewrite of the language. Imagine the chaos if Python did that and then pulled the 2 to 3 change on a run of the mill update from 213 to 214.

I think the point the comment is trying to make is that these politicians are not stupid, they are corrupt. They are not doing it because there is a problem to be solved, they are doing it because there are bags of money to be had. A smarte

Quite sure it just uses _NET_WM_PID and fails if it isn't there. At least as far as I remember I had issues terminating my own application with xkill until I set the _NET_WM_PID myself, the framework I used only did the bare minimum t

A lot of the mockery PHP got was not because it attracted amateur developers, it was because the language itself was amateurishly implemented and because of the resulting mess when that leaked into how it behaved. Things like function names
