Depends on how strongly you mean "no other option". For example, is Rust another option? I'm not sure how comfortable I am writing for a language with a version of "0.12.0". My understanding is that they make breaki

Sorry, I'm really ignorant about these things, but once you have the ip of the phone that sent some message, couldn't you trace that to the physical phone? So you want to know who posted "foobar", you wait until you have

Sorry, in what way? Because Yik Yak is pointless?

Yeah, the crime would have been prevented if Uber hadn't hired the driver, and I hadn't known about the GPS, which is also key. My question is more "would Uber's background check process have caused the driver not to hav

I don't quite understand the wording on the website. The article said the driver was acquitted; would a proper screening still have disqualified him, given his acquittal? Quick disclaimer: clearly, given what you said, Uber needs to dr

Today I learned, yet again, that I can't do simple subtraction. Thanks for the correction.

It's very heartening to see Microsoft and Intel actually adopting the new C++ standards given the fiasco that compiler support for C and C++ standards has been in the past. That said, I sort of worry about the new approach to C++ stand

Sure, the rise of CO2 in the atmosphere is fine for life in general, but I don't really have a huge emotional attachment to the shallow-sea fish that will have all that lovely extra living space right where Miami used to be. The future

If you're developing a fairly complex library for things such as image processing, machine learning, numerics, linear algebra, etc., then I think that C/C++ is the way to go. Most languages have some sort of FFI to interact with C

The point is that -1 is not a GUID, though, so in the sample function, if record::id changes to a GUID, the find_id function is now trying to return -1 (an integer) and ii->id (a GUID).

I think in any sane library, public API functions will have declared return types. It's only for small helper functions inside a source file that will be autoed. I agree that misuse of auto is going to be terrible, though.

I'm not sure if implicit conversions are applied to type deductions. It could be that GUID has a constructor that takes in an integer, which would mean that if the function were declared with a return type of "GUID", returnin
