   They got move semantics, smart pointers, concurrency primitives, type deduction, etc. out the door first. While I agree that reflection is important, it's not as important as those. I don't see any problem with comittee's pri

   Qt's meta object compiler (moc, a code generator that lets C++ kind of emulate Objective-C's message passing) is mighty handy for transparently queuing (instead of directly calling) signals that cross thread boundaries. I don&#x27

   I have a Jolla phone and I love it. I guess I'm among the luckier ones as my phone doesn't have any of the wiggly sim/battery problems. It's been very stable for me for the past 8 or so months I had it. I love the batter

   I see so much emotion in this thread. Yes, I was there to witness what M$FT (ha! take that Mr. Gates!) did around the dawn of this millenium as well, but we had all felt that the times they were a-changin' when Slashdot retired the Bil

    And I'd like to thank Gentoo developers for the usual very fast response they had towards this security advisory. The moment I saw the news here, I ran to update my stuff -- the patch was already there, marked stable in the official ge

    Are you sure about the rear suspension? Yes, it can save your wheel in some situations (which you should really be avoiding as an amateur), but %99 of the time it's unnecessery weight that also happens to eat some of the power that&#x2

    I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, I'm enthused that Rust, arguably the only serious contender to C++'s throne, is gaining traction. On the other hand, I'm scared that respectable projects like Qt (~6M lines of C+

    FWIW, with neurons, there's always the option to override markup generation on a field-by-field basis, so if you don't like the generated code for a certain part of the document, you can change it to your heart's content. You

    I've been working on something pretty similar, but on the server side. It's called 'Neurons', and it's a pre-alpha Python library. It's built on Spyne[3], an RPC framework which is another side project of mine

    ORM Stands for Object Relational Mapper. ORMS are software packages that map objects (class instances) to relational database tables (among other relational structures) and vice versa. So maybe I'm nitpicking here but this project is n

    Are these libraries at all portable? Do I have to be on Linux or KDE to make use of these? The feature set of eg Solid sounds very tricky to implement in a cross-platform way.

    From my initial skimming of the source code, this is not just a web interface in front of the package manager of your favourite distro -- the apps need not be trusted and work isolated from the host operating system. But why not use docker

    Visual Studio's Python and Ruby plugins seem quite decent and free if you're on VS Pro and up. You don't necessarily need to let VS go if you're to migrate to a language supported on more than one platform.

    As far as I know, they could only have used Iridium satellites for communications. All of the alternatives that I'm aware of have satellites on geostationary orbit, which makes it impossible to cover anywhere outside 80 degrees North a
