You got the wrong person, I didn't write that. Once it became obvious that it's the only way to solve the issue and that a different use of Direct2D can't help with this, I implemented a prototype based on my pre-existing kno

I didn't say they were pointless anywhere. They were anything but. I did say however: If we had figured out a way to solve the issue while we continue using Direct2D, we would've definitely sticked with Direct2D. Since there was n

We actually took the same approach Casey suggested, at least when it comes to the drawing part which is what this is about. A lot of terminals implement it that way. We have a long way ahead of us to improve the performance of our text inge

I'll try to avoid sarcasm in the future. What I haven't understood yet is what significance "The solution is trivial" being sarcastic or not has on the article itself. I understand it's reflecting poorly on it due t

Thank you for your suggestion! I believe I can't just edit the article now, since that would be disingenuous, but I'll try to avoid sarcasm in the future and use something like you suggested instead.

Oh yeah, for sure. I can't tell you how much I regret being that defensive about something that benign. This was certainly a life lesson. I've apologized to Casey in person before (well, to my best ability) and I'll apologize

Hi! I'm the person who wrote that blog post. If you have any questions whatsoever, please let me know! English is not my native language and "The solution is trivial" was meant sarcastic. The solution isn't trivial at al

Some very important goods are almost exclusively produced in rural areas (food for instance, being produced by few people). The importance of these goods might be as important as the goods produced by people living in large cities (services

...which surely depends on the circumenstances. It could just as well be 3 years or more (for instance if you're part of a gang) and I think this is reasonably since you want that person to change (i.e. stop dealing) and not destroy hi

Just put it into a gas cylinder (it doesn't even need to be compressed or anything). ELI5 version: It might be lighter than air, but that just means that it will "float" ontop of heavier things - like oil ontop of water. But

Can someone explain me why workers where only alive for 6 seconds? Even now: Why are they only alive for 20 minutes and why is that even acceptable? Is it due to memory leaks? I'd probably instantly lose my job if any of my systems wou

I think what'd be even more interesting is whether a candidate can transform a simple recursive algorithm to an iterative one and vice versa. It's taught in CS courses for instance but I know a lot of software "engineers&quot

tl;dr: Slashdot and SourceForge have a new owner which removed all this nonsense from those sites - including the adware. I believe the average HN reader - including you - should be interested in this then: https://www.reddit.com

And the "correct" code would be this for instance: export default function getUsers () { return getUsers().then(users => { return filterUsersWithFriends(users) .catch(err => trySomethingElse(users));

ASIO can be used standalone with any C++11 compiler and the compile times are quite good. If I should make a guess then I'd say that the original author of that part of the library either started before ASIO was standalone and/or

Your version is quite inefficient too... If you call `insert(_:atIndex:)` N times it will obviously move the entire content of the string N times by only a single character. The optimal solution would be instead if you create a `Collectio

Your code is a bit inefficient. I took the liberty of fixing that for you: https://gist.github.com/lhecker/8e89d998c156f0bfdd2d (You can use that code freely and without any attribution if you want to.) The important p

Maybe they just don't want to backport their backend code again and again for every LLVM snapshot they do, because that can be a tedious thing to do compared to just having it in origin/master forever for free.
