And you had the same misunderstanding as OP. Because you have eliminated all macros during the preprocessor step, you can no longer have macro-based APIs, including function-like macros you expect library users to use, #ifdef blocks where y

Completely agree. My employer makes all employee badging data available. Any employee can view whether any other employee has badged into the office and when. This includes viewing whether your boss has come in. However badging data is much

The C language is too complicated and too flexible to allow that. If you are starting from scratch and creating a new language, this could be a design goal from the beginning.

Steve Jobs never announced a price ceiling for apps on the App Store. The well-known I Am Rich app for iPhone retailer for $999, the actual price ceiling.

If it was enabled, why can Apple still demand 30% cut here? Couldn’t Patreon just switch to external payment processors citing the Epic case?

In practice I’ve seen apps just game the system by (1) using IAP using the normal flow, and (2) giving user a button unrelated to purchasing that would open a new WebView, which just happens to contain a purchase button.

Another time when writing a quick and dirty spinlock is reasonable is inside a logging library. A logging library would normally use a full-featured mutex, but what if we want the mutex implementation to be able to log? Say the mutex can lo

This is really useful! I only knew about -mcmodel during compilation but I didn’t know the linker would insert thunks for faraway branches. I would’ve thought that the linker would simply complain and ask you to recompile with a larger code

Around the time Aperture became dead, I was looking for a photo editing app on the iPhone; three of my non-negotiable requirements: non-destructive adjustments, curves, and the ability to brush a mask for an adjustment. I found Snapseed whi

If you assume a person’s chair height and desk height are both set optimally, then I guess the person’s height doesn’t matter for this detection.

It’s a cultural thing. If a Chinese person steeped in that culture of “low, quiet, unseen” strength came to America as an immigrant, that person would likely not do very well. If the person immigrated as a child, schooling in America will q

Yes. And it doesn’t have to be titanium per se. Cerabyte is trying to use ceramic. Even rocks might be good enough.

I don’t see that at all. Instead, I think tech workers, including the engineers and the product managers, are correctly prioritizing user convenience over resistance to government abuse. It’s honestly the right trade off to make. Most users

No it’s not common for two pieces of code within a single process to communicate by serializing the protobuf into the wire format and deserializing it. It’s however somewhat common to pass in-memory protobuf objects between code, because th

Patents are supposed to protect the inventor’s interest. The trick is to divulge enough details to get protection, but not enough that competitors can just copy. So if a patent says “a hydrofluoric acid-based etchant” you can almost be sure

No. You either design the site to be fully responsive (which would necessarily include CSS changes), or leave out that line. If your CSS assumes a desktop layout, it is strictly better not to set the viewport width to device-width so that t

You can also do that intentionally and correctly. After all `delete this;` is a valid statement that can occasionally be useful. That said, I’ve only seen this in old pre-C++11 code that does not adhere to the RAII best practice.

I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again: the nano texture screen decreases the apparent pixel density, so much that my eyes don’t perceive them as retina screens. With nano texture, my eyes feel like looking at individual pixels even t

That’s just the justification for the individual responsibility penalty. SCOTUS justified the penalty by saying it is a tax on inaction.

Yeah but for this accident both trains were well below 300 km/h at the incident site. Around 210 km/h I think.
