Easy because since the bite I'm adding some comments after those initialisations where I really intend to call a given constructor. Three instances I could grep immediately, all from the same file: std::vector<std::tuple<std:

Complexity can solve issues but can also bring new ones. For instance, I've been bitten recently by the new "universal" syntax to write variable definitions with only curly braces. #include <iostream> #include &l

Have spent a few years during the late 90s/early 2000s in an industry running on ASN.1, coming from the web. I was initially surprised by how enamoured most of my coworkers were with ASN.1 and its tools, but it grew on me too: the plea

Questioning the novelty of a letter based game sounds perfectly reasonable to me and does not call for any sort of insults. It certainly happens frequently that a new game idea is stolen to make money in some app store, but it also actually

Couldn't find the source I was looking for, which was I believe from a french scientist (likely from the French CIRI that co-founded the Wuhan lab studying coronavirusses). So I will have to softer my above assertion that the lab was b

This line of reasoning forget a very important information: research labs are not built at random. This lab studying coronavirusses was built there precisely because this is a place where new coronavirusses have appeared in the past. Will

I believe this issue of Turing complete config language vs simpler declarative configuration is one of the basic thing for which there exist no good universal solution. I face the very same issue in my day job where I'm struggling to c

acpid vs logind is another illustration of the trade offs involved when moving towards GUIfication of the bazar that is (was?) unix. Basically the proposition is akin to a weapon exchange program: hand over your powerful but dangerous Turin

It's also a dependency of everything detrimental. My point was: it's not central in itself, but is framed to appear so because of ideology.

I do not believe the hard data you are looking for exist for real. Interviewing is assessing what value an individual will bring to a project. Ideally we want this assessment to not depend on the interviewer and as a unidimensional real num

Almost all responses state distribution as the main advantage of the web, and I certainly agree. I just wanted to add that what we really need is a form of distributed operating system, and the web is the closest implementation of that, alb
