It is possible with every kind of de-duplicating copy-pasted code. You need some boilerplate for the common template (not necessarily in the C++ sense), then some more boilerplate for its instantiations to replace the previously-copypasted

The best C++ developers are those who violently oppose extending the subset of C++ features used in a project. "Template specialization and traits? This belongs in library code. The resulting code is actually more bloated than the copy

Le Corbusier tried that but I think the prevailing agreement is that it didn't work.

There was an interview with a fund manager, after the toxic asset crash. The person said they had known the bubble would burst but the (short term, on-paper) profits were so high that they bought anyway in fear of customers moving their mon

Wikipedia page on Peano axioms maybe. Edit/elaborate: First order rules like "no element X has successor(X)=0" and "two distinct elements have two distinct successors" assure there is a chain of successors that star

To me it looks like attempts to axiomatize natural numbers with first order logic. You can assure there's a "zero" and an infinite chain of successors starting from it but you cannot assure there are no cycles disconnected fr

While people do make stuff up to score imaginary internet points, this does not have to be a case here. Any "super rare" event you hear about on public media is actually something that happened to one of billions of humans within

I cannot rule this out. This happened twice so far, with a different cartridge brand each time. Also, the last time two slots failed at once, or in a very short timespan (black and yellow). Unfortunately I don't remember which slot fai

OTOH it might be easier to take a urine sample from a toilet trained cat. For litter trained cats you need to use special non absorbent litter or leave the cat at the vet so that they collect the sample themselves.

Sadly, not my experience. I bought a Brother HL-L3210CW an my advice is to avoid it. Cartridges have chips and the printer randomly stops recognizing the third party ones. The official service provider told me it's the cartridges and t

To make it more interesting, Poland's biggest newspaper makes quite a solid case that the purchase was funded via embezzlement [0] (Polish only). Kaczyński dismissed the misappropriation of the funds as "mere technicality". [
