A better analogy is that you decided to replace your door with a new one, and before installation you notice that it is smashed to pieces and can't be used.

RewriteCond is a mechanism to redirect under certain conditions. Security becomes irrelevant if the whole Apache module is broken.

Happiness Forgets is one of my favourites for a classic experience. Discount Suit Company has a cool vibe, a bit more party-like, I remember dancing a few times there (despite it being tiny). Waltz is a new one that's a bit different,

People who never had Belvedere or Chopin simply don't know that a vodka shot doesn't have to be a painful experience.

The trick to having a good time at a cocktail bar is sitting at the bar and talking to the bartender. Tell him what kind of things you like and he'll be happy to make recommendations and even have you taste some unusual ingredients he

That's not a security issue, it's a correctness issue. The whole feature simply does not work.

Reflection is purely a compile-time frontend thing, so is easy to roll out. Things that affect the runtime or ecosystem of tools are obviously more complicated, especially given that those things aren't really covered by the standard.

I'd argue using third-party libraries in a C++ project is a bad idea to begin with. Bad ones especially.

So the solution is to have a thread waiting on the future. Technically you'd need a thread per future, which is not exactly scalable. The article uses a pool which has its own problems. The article even mentions an arguably better appr

In general most people don't do networking right, especially within real-time systems. As people discover the problems with their approach, they rewrite it. I'm my experience it's generally better not to have transparently re

Not if you use may alias. Also yes, that's the point of the C++ object model, only one type may exist in one location at a time. Since usually different register banks are used for different types, having to copy makes sense.

the opt-out in C is to use char*, which is specifically allowed to alias other types. There are also GCC extensions to build other types that may alias.

In my experience the difficulty in building good software is having a good vision of what the end result should look like and how to get there. If the developer is not savvy about the business case, he cannot have that vision, and all he ca

Right, we all know this. LLMs write a lot of bad code that cannot be realistically reviewed. I've even had code submitted to me by juniors which didn't make any sense. When I ask them why they did that, they say they don't kn
