You can proceed with the enrollment anyway, even if you receive that message, with any set of six digits and any set of characters for the last name and receive a message indicating that you're enrolled. I watched the video of the CEO

For what it's worth, Google recommends using pixel units for font sizes: https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/insights/UseLegible... I personally use a base font size in pixels and use em units to in

The poster's comment reads a bit like an advertisement, but LMDB would be a good solution for persisting data, in my opinion. It has a pretty simple C API and it's been described by its authors as "crash-proof".

In the end, the existence of the term "transpiler" has a negative effect on the perception that many developers have on the quality of languages that compile to JS. Is this actually true? Have there been actual widespread compla

In fairness, the phrase he used was "looks like". I don't think his comment was intended to suggest that he'd done rigorous and exhaustive wide-spectrum analysis of compile times and executable size, just that expectatio

I really don't disagree on any particular point. I only take issue with the suggestion that it simply shouldn't be an option. In the past I probably would've said the same about PHP, which sits pretty squarely in the same cam

While I think we agree on points, I also feel like your argument is kind of an overgeneralization. There are knowledge points specific to Node, but developing good code for the browser has similar land mines (referring mainly to asynchrony

I'm not a particular fan of JavaScript on the server these days, but when you have a large number of developers who know JavaScript from the front-end world and a language ecosystem that's quite large and relatively robust, I wo

It's a fair question. I don't know of any correlation between an increase in porn-viewing and decreased sperm counts.

That's it in a nutshell, yes. And I agree that it's sad, but it's something I only tend to feel compelled to do on very divisive political topics, so it's not too bad, really.

Sure! It's solely based on my experience with commenters, who sometimes view statements like that as endorsements or as indicators that personal beliefs align with those who are being quoted or described. So it's sort of a disclai

He stated on Tucker Carlson that he has based his argument on what he referred to as scientific consensus. I'm not making any endorsement of the comment or of the science, since it isn't my field, but just relaying what he said.

The quality may be better, but can you stream pirated content on, say, an iPad app or on a pre-installed TV app? Netflix and other legal providers seem to have a real value proposition versus illegal providers, but I'll admit it's

Is the universe at large legitimately impacted by our meat consumption? Off-hand, I can't think of a single thing mankind has done that has more than neglibly impacted anything beyond our own atmosphere.

A good consumer will always want to have their cake and eat it too: that isn't childish. A consumer's expectation that it will always pan out that way is the point of naiveté.

Nor is it the place for commenting on being downvoted. C++ is still used widely, in many domains, and there's a lot of code out there that can benefit from incremental improvements to the language and the STL. As for who the standards

Not sidestepped, but they're a TS that may (should, I think?) be folded in C++20 once there's a consensus. There are a couple nice implementations already, so I'd expect no problem with a modules proposal making the cut for t

In Go, the magic right now is actually in special-cased types like map. Generics actually have the potential to reduce the amount of magic as it exists currently. The design can go badly wrong, of course, but it can also go wonderfully righ

Perhaps fewer than a billion lines of Go code if there were generics.
