If you disable Maximize Compatibility you also lose compatibility with current programs from Adobe itself, such as Lightroom. So while it seems like a good thing to turn off old crufty stuff, it actually is horrible.

People often use a vector of vectors as a matrix. It's not as efficient, it usually is a bad idea, yet it doesn't discredit std::vector. I suppose we could create a variadic template std::optional<...> which works like a tup

There have been deprecations like auto_ptr and gets(). But I assume you're looking for more. You aren't going to get it. C++ is just not that language. It isn't going to have a Python 3 moment. Nor should it. I for one am gla

A related effect happens after you move. In your first months in a new place you can easily seem interesting and get invited to parties and whatnot because you're new in town. But you're like an animal in a zoo: look at him, so un

How did that happen? And what if anything do you now think about the permissive attitude of some people toward tazing? E.g. did you find any lasting effects? By the way, hi. I enjoyed your talk at PyConSG a little before this all happened.

I hope you stay away from GCC as well, which for example broke C++ in 4.7.0 and fixed it in 4.7.2. Any new major release is bound to break something for someone. Prudence suggests adopting a major release only after a few months. This appli

I assure you this is not always the case. I have worked directly with multiple people who could contrive the most exquisite solutions to really difficult problems but whose code was gibberish. Flagging such characteristics during recruitmen

Not only does fear of lawsuits prevent companies from disclosing no-hire reasons, it prevents them from even recording those reasons internally. If you get rejected and don't know why, take heart: a year from now the company also won&#

Flickr was incredibly successful at one point, but it has been slowly dying for years. I used to pay for Pro features there but one day they emailed saying that free accounts were now good enough. So revenue must be reduced since then. And

Don't worry. You do not need a cable cooker cooker, because every cooker (in the latest generations, natch) is cryogenically treated before ever leaving the manufacturer. If you have an old cable cooker you may want to bury it deep und

That's not a framework but a function being customized. Calling everything a framework is smelly.

Pulau Galang, where the protagonist lived as a refugee, is fascinating. It's a small island in a small chain which many people now call by the name of the largest: Batam. Today there are bridges but when the Chinese-Vietnamese refugees

It seems like her H-4 EAD status might give some employers pause. First it is tied to your H-1B if I understand correctly, so if your status changes she could become unable to work. Not to mention if you decide to move to another country. C

The "data driven" nature of the ECU is not surprising. Ever since the first ECUs were made they have used lookup tables (LUTs) as opposed to mathematical models. I don't know exactly how ubiquitous LUTs are today but certainl

You mention that R doesn't deserve the bad rap it had 5 years ago. Less than two years ago I learned the hard way that R reference counting had only three possible counter values. 0, 1, and 2+. So if you took a second reference to some
