Inheritance (the subtyping part of it) is considered the OOP way to write sum type. sum Expr { Int; Add(Int,Int) } VS class Expr { } class Add extends Expr { Expr left; Expr right; }

The title of the article has changed to make it clearer than it only concerns the GTK and WPE ports. "WebKitGTK and WPEWebKit Switching to Skia for 2D Graphics Rendering" Can we update the title here also?

Do you know a syncing tool which would work with a VeraCrypt image? (rsync algo doesn't for example)

by maattdd 3y ago
VeraCrypt is good but it doesn't work well with syncing, because changing any bit of the disk image invalidate the whole disk hash. Cryptomator works a bit differently (it changes the structure/names, but store the underlying encr

Pointers to stack sound like a recipe for disaster (all those pointers will be dangling very very soon).

We don't care about the content of the node. The interesting part is how do you define the Node itself. struct Node<T> { Node<T> left; Node<T> right; }; would obviously be the best choice (what I call in the art

I consider C++ a copy-by-default language (and pointer/ref being the necessary evil which breaks this great default). In Rust, it's move by default and you need an explicit .clone() In C++, it's copy by default and you need a

(I'm the author of the blog post) Indeed it's exactly the same idea (and I think `value_ptr` is actually a better name than `box`). I've googled before writing the blog post and haven't found literature about this (but

Indeed, the reason is simply to keep the current look-ahead(1) for the CSS syntax. If you allow nested rules with selector list which doesn't start with a symbol, you need (in theory) an unbounded look-ahead. However, the current spec

Amazing work from the team! I wonder if this is actually the first mainstream language which has managed to remove its "global lock" without breaking changes ?

It's hard. Normally I start with a word that I know is fairly unique to the domain I'm looking for (in your case maybe "cssselector"). And what you are looking for is in the Blink third party folder.
