From my experience, the fuzzy matching works well enough to handle picking out text or icons on interfaces with semi-transparent backgrounds that change on scrolling (e.g., due to a parallax effect). It's pixel-based and not scale-inv

They released an ISO for Update 1, so chances are there will be one for Update 2. In the meantime, you can download the online installer [1] and run vs2015.2.exe /Layout to launch the downloader, which should create a folder w

The "maximally flat" package structure in npm 3 solves the problem in most common cases, so I suppose "much more useful" was an exaggeration - if you keep your code in a relatively short base directory such as C:\src\nod

Even if you constrain the type to be something you know is a class, it won't work. [1] The typical workaround in Java is to either pass around .class instances, or to do tricks with anonymous subclasses to create a type token. [2] [1]:

I've often thought of C++'s templates (when used in the "straightforward" manner, anyway) as more of compile-time duck typing than a real generic type system. Even moving from C++ to Java took a while to get used to.
