The auto keyword in C++ is great because it helps you avoid unintended type conversions in assignments. For that reason it should be used widely IMHO. The downside is that it makes it slightly harder to read code outside of an IDE.

When I click on the submitted link with Chrome on Android, it asks me if I want to redownload "0.pdf". Such a confusing question. If I pick the wrong answer, I end up with some restaurant menu I must have looked at months ago, not

Thanks for the tip, I haven't tried tig yet. That might actually be useful on remote systems in situations where I don't have access to my personally configured emacs.

In Magit you can easily select arbitrary regions of code to stage (or chunks as you would via the command line). I haven't seen any git interface that is as intuitive for this task.

Yes, I don't think the "Nordic model" is a good final answer. But I am not sure if there are more problems with human trafficking in Sweden than in Germany (of course geography plays a role, too).

> victimless crimes I am not sure if it is really that clear cut. Germany has pretty liberal laws around prostitution and there are massive problems with human trafficking. Many women do not do the work out of their own volition.

That name has just been burnt into my mind to stand for the Scintilla Text Editor: https://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html Amazing how this is still getting releases after 20+ years.

If you are not careful, you end up with 1000s of tests that are tightly coupled to your implementation, testing internal details of your systems, not their behavior. They become a massive burden if you decide to refactor a system and change

Then these two lines of code move away from the context of the surrounding function. There may also be something specific about how the scrollbar is added in this instance, requiring a very complicated name if you want to convey that. As lo

How about a Renault Twizy?

Yeah, that's exactly the same reasoning. Because it's more convenient you run your notebooks in a dedicated tool. Nteract or Vscode or Pycharm..

It's convenient to directly open a notebook from a browser download or a slack message without having to fire up jupyter in a terminal and navigate it to that temp file.

But C++20 is very different from the dialect supported by an old Watcom compiler. :)

The storage, the spam filtering, the interface were massive improvements over the status quo of the day.

Sure, but Fuchs sometimes went to far. Nothing in the original should have triggered her to make Donald and Daisy cousins, who were dating after all. Relocating Duckburg, California, to Entenhausen, somewhere in Germany, also made things pr

Carl Barks absolutely invented, defined, and developed the character of Scrooge / Dagobert. For decades the _good_ Dagobert stories appearing in "Micky Maus" and the other periodicals on the German market were exclusively fro

Awesome, they included the Vatican with Latin.

I love reading classic Carl Barks comics in Erika Fuchs's translations, but one should acknowledge that her very liberal variations did not always improve on the original text, but also resulted in some unnecessary obsfuscation. Still,

I found one charge of 0.89 Eur in April 2013. Probably the first year was free and then I paid once. Maybe they charged me just a single time after all. Quite a bargain to be honest (before the Facebook acquisition at least).

I paid that Euro a couple of times.

When instant messengers like AIM, ICQ, Jabber, or MSN were in heavy use, there was a very popular web based client for those services. It used the same type of UI quite effectively. Here's a screenshot from 15 years ago: http:/&#

I switched from a Fire TV Stick and a Valve Stream Link to an Nvidia Shield Pro. Very happy as well. But to be honest I miss Amazon's voice search. It worked much better to find thing from the Netflix and Prime Video catalogs than Goog

A sizable portion of the Jetbrains IDE functionality can be accessed by the keyboard. Moreover, the keybindings can be configured very similar to Emacs quite easily (I don't want to live without C-x C-2 etc. for splits for instance).

That's awesome. I missed that stretch of years when DOS games were sold with PDF manuals stored on disk, but not everybody was launching them from Windows 95... My pre-teen self didn't get to run games from CD-ROM before 1997 or s

This one is quite fascinating. It comes with a highres GUI mimicking Windows 3.1. I wonder how big the market was in 1993 for graphical applications running on pure DOS. Screenshots: https://winworldpc.com/screenshot/10

But if you expect an upper bound of the required size of that stay, it may be worthwhile to explicitly set the capacity of the vector to avoid these reallocations.
