Tesla's PR handling of it hasn't really turned me off the idea, nor has the car's action of veering off the correct course (because that's occasionally expected), but the collision itself is disconcerting to me. I would

While true, I think it’s worth remembering that history is being written constantly. Facebook’s position and scale has no precedence, and we’re just now really beginning to understand what the consequences of such a position can be. Today’s

Apple’s a publicly-held company, and China is among the largest markets for consumer electronics. Apple’s shareholders wouldn’t be too pleased if Apple simply said “nah” to such a market, and Apple’s obligations are ultimately to its shareh

The situation wouldn’t be nearly as bad if the federal government offered some sort of API or search service to which all states would have to report, but this is currently only being addressed by the private sector. And at kind of a prohib

I simply cannot imagine running something like that in a professional context. For me, "maybe this next update will install correctly" is a non-starter. For consumers who just really want to run macOS, I can see the appeal.

Alameda St, just north of I10, is in such poor condition that it’s practically third-world. I’m usually so concerned with damage to my suspension that I avoid it. Los Angeles has a very interesting set of problems. Chief among them is the r

C++ move semantics are complicated, definitely, but Meyers actually somewhat complicated them more in the way he describes "universal references". I don't quite think that was his intention. It's not that only Meyers u

To add: according to cppreference, all known STL implementations leverage this optimization. This used to be specific to Microsoft's STL implementation, but apparently all the major STL vendors are now on-board with it.

A good point about sugar. Sugar’s interesting, though, in that it produces a kind of euphoria before it results in the feeling of crashing (usually moderately long afterward). For that reason it can be difficult to correlate the feeling of

I agree that they have every right to be upset. Grindr didn’t need to share that kind of information with third parties.

Given the current reality, you can do either of the following here: A) Mark yourself as HIV positive in your profile, which Grindr will share with third parties. B) Directly declare yourself as HIV-positive at some point in a conversation.

Grindr wouldn’t be the only way to declare one’s STD status though. It could be omitted from one’s profile, but declared during chat, for example, or prior to hooking up.

Isn’t it accurate to say though that encryption is a component of — but not the only property of — secure exchange? Or am I misunderstood?

I don’t see anything scary here. If a truly secure channel is required — and these are pretty rarely required for games — one might consider TLS instead, and simply accept the additional overhead. Unless you’re sending executable and/o

In C++, all the craziness and brittleness you find in the "C version" is actually encompassed entirely within the `constexpr` keyword. The compiler gets to deal with a lot of complexity to make that possible, but for users it is

To be pedantic, note that is not the "C++ version" of max(). This is a particular STL's implementation of max(). Different STL implementations may approach it somewhat differently. In practice, the style for writing STL code

It's a true statement that C++ has gained considerable complexity since those days, largely due to the C++ committee's very religious approach to compatibility. How that added complexity has influenced how complex C++ application

Limiting the number of entities you need to trust with closed-source software is perfectly sound wisdom, but that number doesn’t need to be zero to be useful. That’s not to say Marta’s author has any ill intent, because I doubt he or she do

I was shooting for a simple answer, but perhaps some more clarification would be useful. I describe C as "simple" in the sense that it's A) not a large language, by specification and B) somewhat by virtue of the former, there
