Is there an extension that brings this button back? I know publishers hate this, but publishers don't exactly have a good track record of treating their user well. Non-copyable text, hijacking right click. Regardless of how they feel i

It is a windows standard but I wouldn't call it a good compiler. It has traditionally has lacked in the standards department and compiler & code gen bugs have not been fixed with any kind of urgency.

Overhead, fragmentation, pointer chasing, malloc() bound. It's one of those data structures that makes perfect sense in CS theory but is only applicable in a limited set of real world problems. For now we're beholden to implementa

Based on experience I'm going to form an educated guess (hypothesize) and say that both std::map and author's trie container are primarily bound by pointer chasing. Obviously one should test this. If that's the case, use a C+

That's why I upgraded at home from a 6700k to a R7 1700x. My build times went down to like 55 to 65%, so not quite 2x as fast.

When you say "Republican ideals" do you mean lower case 'r' republicanism vs Republicans? It's a pet peeve of mine. Same when people use democratic vs Democratic (party) interchangeably.

The reason we even have HBCs in the first place because most universities did not accept black people. So HBCs were created by black people and their allies. Many HBCs pre-date the civil right changes and school integration prior to the 196
