It was only a commentary on whether buying adapters/dongles or converting to new hardware now vs. later doesn't (or shouldn't) matter to users individually, not a suggestion that USB-C adoption shouldn't concern users in

That's certainly true. Apple included the ports that people will use the most, at some point in what they believe to be the justifiably near future (we'll see!), and they naturally support adapters for those who need what are cu

Although it's odd, I suspect it's more a reaction to USB-C blowback than a conscious decision to harm Apple. These days, Microsoft is not generally one for going out of their way to put the pain on Apple. Besides, Microsoft's

Not to disrespect Moore — the man is a legend in my opinion, and he'll be sorely missed — but I tend to agree.

If what you're trying to achieve is to pump out some HTML, Go has built-in safe HTML templating. The template syntax isn't glamorous (in fact it can be very unpleasant at times), but with it you can catch type errors at parse time

I certainly agree. I think there are compelling arguments both for keeping the work to a very small handful of people and for spreading the work across many contributors. It seems to be early days for TFS, but so far it looks like an impres

I don't consider that a bad thing. The project may pick up more contributors down the road — or it might not. Either way, that doesn't speak negatively of the project itself.

I think there are some areas where GitLab can improve their CI story, but I agree that having a One Stop Shop for that is actually very compelling.

Lack of persistence is one such reason. Because Go's built-in maps are not completely safe to use concurrently, too, their usefulness as a key/value store is somewhat limited in many applications. Naturally, it's possible to

There's a somewhat more simplistic version of that on the above-linked results, which is four centered, horizontal lines, each decreasing in width from top to bottom, which I think communicates basically the right idea: you have a much

Maybe I don't understand what that means in this context. Why is making crude jokes more useful/effective/beneficial than reporting on issues and having mature discussions about those issues?

I don't think there's any particular shortage of news outlets covering the bad side(s) of the Trump administration.

Google provides backup codes, not Google Authenticator. Each service you add to your Authenticator keychain will have its own backup codes, if any.

An outfit called Polyend has commercialized the concept with something they call PERC, though I don't believe they have something capable of engaging and disengaging the snare like this contraption. http://polyend.com/p

You've missed a step. After enabling Developer Mode, you need to enable support for WSL in Programs and Features, then restart Windows.

They are provided in WSL, but the Windows Subsystem for Linux is a separate install atop Windows, and the installation process is currently very complex and lengthy.

The C++ Core Guidelines[0] specify — albeit kinda verbosely — how to write modern C++. Implementation support to enforce these guidelines is ongoing, but MSVC and clang-tidy offer some support. There are some domains and industries that b

The main appeal for me is the possibility for substantially decreasing compile times. The current include system really precludes a lot of work in this area.

That's an unusual experience. Based on a handful of benchmarks[0] done by the author of JOE, VS Code is sometimes an order of magnitude slower than Notepad++ and Sublime at some tasks. I use VS Code pretty much exclusively these days m

I agree that it's not direct and less useful. The commenter I originally responded to, however, appeared to be concerned with the ability to link to files in a way that doesn't bring up the Dropbox UI, which the query parameter do

I believe that's an intentional limitation.

Although it involves a redirect, so it's not, per se, direct , appending ?dl=1 to a Dropbox link does at least trigger a file download.

I'm curious: what is it you don't like about importing packages in Go? With go get and goimports editor integration, I find third-party package integration pretty easy. If it's a question of versioning or package.json-style d

It depends on the problem domain, but it's been my experience across a few domains that many errors are of the "trivial" type you've described, in that recovering from an error by taking some alternative path is usually
