Just look at boost and you will get an idea of what other containers are useful. Here is a quick list of the top of my head: - flat set/map - multi_index - static_vector (called SmallVector in LLVM) - bimap - intrusive containers - var

This is achieved by overloading the operator|, although there is some special hackery to use static function objects to omit the constructor calls. The first mayor library to use this syntax was Boost.Range and it is now being proposed as t

The image in the reddit thread is clearly taken from the video that is part of OP's submission, yet commenter KanterBama identifies it as QuickClot. QuickClot however is a powder so I think his comment should not be considered factual

This might seem like a minor issue but it annoyed me like hell. At that point I knew all I was seeing were the visions of a drunk marketeer anyhow, but at that point I realized that they weren't even bothering with reality.

OpenGL has never been implemented in terms of DirectX on windows. No idea what you are talking about here.

No dice has been cast. Things simply revert back to how they always have been. One important thing to know is that German universities are not handled by the federal government but on a state level (as all things educational) but there is a

There seems to be a confusion of words here. You seem to make a difference between tuition and tuition fees while the Wikipedia [1] article suggests that those terms mean the same in different English dialects. As for Germany: almost all pu

Compare the article with any of the papers it references. This is pure fiction. All papers clearly state the sign language in question shows emergent regularities which clearly means that it is on its way towards duality of patterning. It i

Neither of the two languages a bilingual person speaks is considered foreign. Otherwise the person would not be bilingual. What would be the result of such a study? Keep in mind that in linguistics the difference between being a native spea

This clears up a lot. The whole article felt dubious from the start since it was lacking any examples of the language or an explanation of how functional the language is. The paper makes it clear: the language is young and regularities alre

You can still do metaprogramming on single character constants and with a bunch of really ugly hackery make it somewhat pretty. You might be interested in metaparse [1] which can greatly simplify compile time parsing of strings but has a ve

Apparently those measures have not had an negative effect on productivity in the Netherlands, so I do not see where you are coming from. And you are also forgetting that this is done to prevent the spread of life-threatening diseases for wh

I assume that no one in its right mind would refute a nuanced criticism of Open Source, but the grandparent just didn't think it necessary to be nuanced or elaborate or make some concrete point at all. He just went for the quick pun an

Interestingly there is another article by Walter Bright on writing your own compiler on DrDobbs [1] in which he explicitly recommends to write the parser yourself and I have received similar advice by others that know how to implement compi

I found this article [1] from another participant in the study a much better read. He also is a violin maker which could explain why he is happy with the results, but he isn't trying to justify any of the results. His closing words say

This argument can be made for many different disabilities (mental as well as physical). While I don't think we should stop pursuing development of cures we should refocus our efforts on enabling the afflicted to live the life they want

A Mono developer should avoid looking at the .NET code at all costs. That would only set them up for patent law suits.

AFAIK the main reason for implementing modules for C++ was to show that it can be done, which makes standardization of a major feature much more likely. As long as there is only one compiler and no guarantee that you will not have to change

Clang modules for C++ are going nowhere as long as the concerned working group of WG21 isn't proposing anything. While it seems that everybody has almost the same idea how modules should look as part of the language almost no one can a

Which other languages use the C/C++ preprocessor? I've seen it used for generating data or other source code when a preprocessor comes in handy, but never as a full-fledged component of another language. I also think that a modern

Hard problems for C++ compilers are keeping track of where a piece of code originated and providing good diagnostics in code expanded from macros. Can warp help with this or was speed such a paramount goal that the rest of the tool-chain ca

I used to do this for my .emacs files and modules. It worked quite well, but in the end package.el made it unnecessary. Since then I came to the conclusion that git submodules are not a real substitute for a package manager.

There are only very few universities that will actually give you a proper indoctrination in most modern software engineering practices. Usually you get a bit of horrible object orientation, a few stern words about coding standards, and the

Russia's military presence in the Black Sea and on the Crimea predates the founding of the United States of America. I agree that Russia might inflate the reasons for its intervention, but there is a lot of geo-political influence at s

No one ever is considering what Granny thinks when movie or television ratings are concerned. The age groups normally considered are 18-34 or 18-49, because those are the ones which far outweigh all others in terms of commercial interest. A
