I'm an ordinary human and I disagree. I would not expect a blank line to end the [hosts] table. I find it nice that you can visually separate different categories of entries under a table. I also find it nice that global entries must b

I'll substantiate regarding UI: On a Mac it has no items in the menu bar. The default cursor is changed to a low-resolution raster image instead of the default OS cursor. The image metadata pop-ups keep appearing even though darktable

Is there a "latest draft" standard available legally and for free for wider audiences? C++, also ISO standardized, does this and I believe it has contributed greatly to its adoption and post-C++11 renaissance. See https:/&#x

I would also recommend checking out OsmAnd Maps in this space. I use it both for hiking and cycling. I love the UI customizability, for example being able to overlay a satellite map on top of a trail map and having a slider to adjust opacit

I'm not sure about the problem of brittleness caused by buggy scripts you must rely on -- you'd get that in any language. But if the brittleness is caused by slightly different dependencies being installed for each developer or CI

> If you use a language that can produce binaries the job of ensuring you have all the dependencies in all the right versions is a one-time job: it happens at build time. This is not true for most language toolchains by default as far as

Undefined behavior entails "there are no restrictions on the behavior of the program", meaning anything can happen, including executing the opposite of the program text. Implementation defined behavior is saner in the sense that

Any time the spiral rule comes up, I like to point out that it's wrong. It is instructive in a way because one learns more about C declaration syntax, but it is even more instructive to recognize why it is wrong. The spiral rule works

NamedTuple or namedtuple instances are tuple instances that have the same properties that regular tuples have. They are immutable (you cannot reassign their fields), you can index into them (a[0], a[1] instead of a.x and a.y), you can unpac

I recommend the LLVM source code. I've worked a bit with it implementing toy compilers and using LLVM as a backend for generating x86/SPARC object code. Just compiling it is a nice exercise if you're new to C++ and CMake (as

You can use the memvfs module to load in-memory databases if you're using the C API. I'm not sure how many higher-level APIs support it though. [1] https://stackoverflow.com/a/53453338/3063 [2] https:
