   yep plus i wonder if they will pull the plug on Rust (which is an ambitious project). I mean the project has it's momentum but in terms of industry it means nothing so i wonder if they will cut money someday like they are doing with th

   I don't get why Firefox tends to add and remove feature so often. Even if it's because of money, this is hurting the user base. Firefox Hello was probably an atempt to fuel WebRTC or provide some capabilities to Firefox OS. But it

   Still i can imagine they require recent compilers (w/ support for C++11) to build for example some ports like Chromium. This means they rely on "old" compilers to compile "old" C code from the base.

   Just curious if OpenBSD plans to continue to use the old gcc 4.2.1 or migrate to LLVM or even GCC 5.1. I can imagine the later is not compatible due to the license.

   Trust me even though it's not updated everything he mentions in the book is still valid. If you want to really know more about specifically modern C++ there is always Modern Effective C++

    I'm surprised you didn't mentioned Fortran as i don't consider it an "unfashionable" language but it's old and still used a lot in scientific work for Maths and Physics areas. The biggest reason is the performa

    Since some time i want to express my opinion on Smartwatches specifically the Apple Watch. - The UI, imho, it's ugly when compared to Android Wear. It needs a refresh to keep up and align with iOS. Possibly better hardware ? - First of

    For years developers used C++ without most of these features and built great code. So this is not the problem of C. There are still lot's of great code done in C.

    First of all it's only available in US :) second the comment system is weak compared to Twitch not to mention that they will never be able to make a community around it like Twitch did.

    All of these will probably mean Facebook might have an opportunity in Videos. Recently Youtube screwed up with Gaming which cannot compete even close with Twitch, older attempts to provide a premium service also failed now this is just piss

    Thanks for the answer I'm crossing my fingers for a major player to use DDG for their personal assistants. The first step was already done when they set DDG has a search option :)

    Gabriel, thank you for DDG I have been using and promoting for years. In terms of mobile any plans for the future you can reveal? How do you feel about Siri, Google Now and Cortana is it something you think DDG can do or can be used as a ba

    With the new iPhone 6s you shouldn't have this problem as they have 2GB RAM. At least i have much more issues in my Nexus 5 than with my iPad Air 2 (with 2GB RAM)

    Where is the API ? The last I've known they only have it available in Android and iOS so no desktop yet.

    To be honest i'm surprised with the adoption of C++11, i know the toolchain supports C++11 since some time but still i can imagine there's lots of legacy code using C++03 or older.
