C is also a living language to some degree: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/wg14_document_log... It still requires dialect selection: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-8.

I wouldn’t do this with stock trading because I’m risking everything. But I wouldn’t call the people adjusting search engine parameters completely untrained either, simply not using a methodology that tests their changes against every query

Actually most of the JS cookie libraries I’ve used have an explicit “None” string that’s separate from a null or disabled setting. And the spec is carefully written such that it doesn’t actually say whether the default is None or Lax, it’s

But it works? If you measure your tuning based on which rank an item is when a user clicks you might get feedback that would obviously help find more examples or create some kind of self-learning system, but if you only care about say, boos

No, but if you were on a contract they can charge you the device cost prorated to how much time was left on your contract. And the new carrier can charge a setup or admin fee, though most carriers don’t for competitive reasons, or they call

That’s because C/C++ is what Windows is written in, and C# is likely used by a majority of their customer base. The only reason anyone pays attention to VB is because of Excel/VBA. F# (or Lisp for that matter) just isn’t as cool a

While searching for a list of topics in Encarta, I found a PC Mag article recommending Encarta over other encyclopedias of the day - it really took me back, I’d forgotten how I used to get all my software recommendations from magazines - h

Right. Besides those topics (though maybe it would have them?), Encarta also doesn’t have any facts of science or history beyond 2009 outside of whatever web updates might have shipped, and yet I’d also point out that Wikipedia is not consi

While I appreciate the recommendations, the language/tone is a bit over the top. Nobody’s seriously suggesting you should dump offline slices of Google Maps, or Open Street Map (OsmAnd) in order to use an outdated virtual atlas. It’s m

An iPhone SE is $238 in India, $299-449 in the US. Similar pricing exists for the iPhone 6 & 6s, and the iPhone 7 is quite good while still well under $1000 most places.

+1 for Clang. It integrates with everything. But like most open source options, it plays second fiddle to each company’s primary languages, and so thee’s no one IDE so perfectly integrated into these mobile dev C++ use cases as to make it e

It’s native in a number of browsers but quite hidden these days. Set your JS security settings to (ah I’m making this up as I don’t have the browser window in front of me) “Prompt” or “Allow (Per Site)” or “Blocked” - https://sup

Ah yes, trackballs are good too due to the reduced wrist movement/strain, and much cheaper than the Evoluent. Trackpads can work, but hand and wrist placement matters similar to keyboarding...

+1 on keyboard remapping, though I’ve never gotten used to it permanently myself. In Colemak, Caps Lock was originally changed to backspace, so for users who don’t need to hit Ctrl as often, that’s also an option. I suspect the only way I’l

The biggest change that helped when I developed temporary RSI when playing video games in my mid-teens was learning and switching to Colemak. Natural keyboards (Microsoft-style) helped a bit, but the curved Kinesis Advantage really taught m

I suddenly realized what made reading old Linux books feel so nostalgic - in at least one of the books I still have, the terminal commands were all printed using broken bars for pipe, etc. You really don’t see that nowadays, but I remember

Yes, I can confirm it happened. A relative of mine was quite happy when this happened. Myself, I migrated off their cards years ago. That said, I don’t think it will lead to bailout. Debt forgiveness is a rare but standard practice in tryin

I also see this as a play for cloud marketshare, but if Github can nail the “simple yet good enough” UI standard for this CI service, it’ll win out hands-down over Azure, which would evolve to become the more niche product that does more fo

This is surprisingly hard to explain off the cuff. In DNS, zones are separated by dots, and a fully-qualified domain name ends in a dot. The zones exist because there are too many domains for just one server to handle and this way zones can

It vaguely reminds me of Ann Leckie’s Ancillary books, which if I recall correctly have the rats, underworld, technology, and more, but it might not be it as it doesn’t have the light sheets etc, I think... I’m trying to figure out where I’

Generally the New York Times fact-checks and corrects itself—but all newspapers spin stories for more clicks or interest. “Everything’s going okay at Apple” isn’t going to move advertisement dollars, the metric by which all news media ultim

It seems to me that the problem is entirely of the web advertiser’s making, though. When the web was new and novel, tracking was used to prove or validate specific ad spend. You can still do that sort of comparative analysis but now detecti
