That sounds a bit familiar to how Apple dealt with their suppliers.

You can scale HANA vertically and horizontally. Vertical makes sense for ERP workloads where you want low latency (avoiding communication). The ERP workloads of most companies can fit in RAM easily nowadays. Horizontal scaling is best for d

But this is about workstations where CPU bound workloads are running, like rendering or compilation. Most people will either buy a laptop or desktop (if their smartphone is not sufficient) and not spend nearly as much money, they only need

clang implements it that way, most (all?) warnings from macro expansion are omitted. Maybe gcc does the same for some warnings, but I've only noticed it for clang. I find clang's behavior particularly dangerous for warnings referr

I'm in Shanghai at the moment and it's definitely the same here, especially during peak hours. Lots of bikes for rent here too, you can see them on many sidewalks, not unusual to see a few hundred in a row. Students and office wor

There is an important class of warnings which only gcc gets 100% right: Those about optimizing away checks for this != nullptr and &refobject != nullptr (because they will always be true). clang skips the warning inside macros. This is

I wonder how much of this trend is helped by the stock market going mostly up and sideways in the past years. In that case passive investing is very good, you need to minimize fees. Timing the exit before the bubble bursts again and re-ent

You will have to split up your library. There is also a limit for PDB files of 1GB, which can be workarounded to 2GB, but from the error above I think you are not hitting this limit.

That's an interesting read, thanks. Note that the algorithm/app I mentioned does use the salt mentioned at the end as a possible solution. The counter problem is still there, but I don't feel it is a big issue.

There also is a counter used for hashing. So for a new password you just increment the counter. Remembering the counter for every site sounds too complicated, but you could store that in a file without losing much (any?) protection.

From the same (master password, site identifier) combination you can generate the most common passwords. The app has categories short, medium, long, max, PIN (4 digits), phrase. There also is a counter used for hashing. So for a new passwor

With my latest password overhaul I switched to the master password system, not requiring any compromisable database of passwords as with password managers: http://masterpasswordapp.com/ You can even implement the algorithm

Any benchmarks?

I have found the latest update (VS 2015), were Microsoft significantly invested in the compiler after years of stagnation, to bring better compile speed in addition to standards support. There were also quite some bugs in the codegen, but i

Correct me if I'm wrong, won't we need an updated OS tool chain, i.e. kernel headers and libc/libstdc++ fully adjusted? That will take some work...

Modules are the answer, but it seems nobody cares enough to get them in the standard or, more likely, it's just too hard a problem. Having looked at the clang modules implementation you basically have to clean up all the system include

It's hard to collect money for a rolling upgrade. This was the pre-cloud era and you sold products. With Windows 10 that's changed and it looks like they found a way to monetize user data also.

On the other hand, since we are confined to earth, we are fighting these wars among the species and even ourselves here :(

I would love to see a C++ compiler implement multi-core optimization and code generation for template instantiations. I feel this can be a big win for cases where you instantiate a template n times and they are basically all independent fro

You can try gold with parallel and/or incremental linking (although incremental linking didn't work on a large library where I would've needed it most)

Those UI animations are all fine and dandy until you log in via remote desktop or similar, over VPN on a not-so-fast network. Then you learn to hate it. Is there an easy way to disable such animations in the browser, e.g. via Firefox extens

Don't understand this either, it makes the OS look a bit cartoonish. I like the material look much better.

Unfortunately a large portion of VW is state-owned so they will be bailed out anyway since a lot of jobs in that state depend on them.

You should offload the build to a compile cluster. Especially if there are multiple developers doing this it will be worth setting it up.
