Also, install a copy of Ninja and try cmake -G Ninja It'll speed up your build by a lot in most cases.

This is not surprising. The chemical compounds used for the colours will degrade over time, either from direct illumination, or degradation by oxidation, or some other process. This will lead to subtle change in the colours, and if you ca

It's already done. As you might expect, the food and drink industry have a need for this. In the brewery I worked at in 1998, we had a commercial set in our "taste training" room which was a set of defined things to smell&#

It's the Windows update system being a horrible mess instead of a proper package manager. Each time you hide it, what you get is apparently a new update with the same name. If you hide it enough times, you eventually hide every avail

Well, this is the language where Turing-complete template metaprogramming was "discovered" as an emergent property of the system!

This very much depends upon whether you want the latest OpenGL 4.x features or not. Compute shaders, etc. Most people won't notice, but if you want to develop or use applications using these features, the open drivers aren't yet

It's not just NAT that's broken. On both Windows and Linux hosts, with bridged networking, SLAAC doesn't work for Linux or FreeBSD guest systems. It does eventually , after somewhere between 5 and 30 minutes, but for machi

That's the wrong question. Would they put up with the conditions in a US factory? It's common to see negative opinions of manufacturing jobs here and on other tech sites. I've worked in one the UK, doing 12 hour long day

This hasn't been my experience. When an md array has lost a disk, I have added a new one and the array has transparently resynched in the background. No interruption in service or loss of data. When a Btrfs array has lost a disk, Bt

My group switched from Skype to Zoom (.us) a year or so back. We did try using Hangouts for a few months, but we found the browser plugin pretty terrible for pegging the CPU at 100%, even when not in use. In comparison, Zoom has vastly be

There are also some interesting systems build on top of jails. I'm starting to use iocage, which uses both ZFS and jails to manage and create systems with great ease. Better or worse than Docker? It's different. It does some t

Interesting, I thought ZFS required a 64-bit system. Is this no longer the case? (I am using UFS on powerpc32 since it's not supported for 10.2.)

Two factors. 1) Density. Sand and dust settle out. Plastic has a lower or similar density to water, so will collect at the surface or float in the water column. 2) Structure and surface properties. Plastic is hydrophobic and usually not

The amount is tiny though. I make my own bread, and you can use just half a teaspoon in a loaf, it's just to get the yeast going, and they probably metabolise most of it. I've also experimented with using part milk so they use t

Because the whole point is portability, so hardcoding /bin/env when the rest of the world is using /usr/bin/env makes it nonportable!

auto can be a great aid to readable and maintainable code. It can also be used to obfuscate when not used in moderation. for(const auto& elem : container) is vastly more readable than for(my_long_type<specialised_ty

Note that with a long list of int values, it's also fairly easy to get the order wrong. Having a proper point type makes this less likely, as well as making the intent explicit.

It sucks to have that kind of work culture, but it's really unhealthy for everyone involved. Is it at all possible to point out its flaws and make everyone's work-life balance better? Or to be the one to work sensible hours and

This is an unsustainable workload. It's not possible to work productively at this level for anything but the short term. Honestly, for how many hours of the day are you actually productive? Could you have worked more efficently and

I am tempted and have started to use ACLs. Once you've got a ZFS filesystem (in my case, on FreeBSD like the author), you have full NFSv4 ACL support. If you export that over NFSv4, those ACLs are visible to all client systems. And

Yep. The smallest I've seen IIRC was a 386 with 4MB running X11 back around 1998. Took a good time to boot and start X11, but it did work.

It's impossible because it simply calls chdir(2). The "current directory" is a property of a process; having it built-in means it changes the directory of the current process. If it was a separate executable, you'd cha

The unlearning point is definitely true. After using CVS for many years, Arch and then git were conceptually difficult to get into, and I was an early adopter of both. Not because they are actually difficult, but because your years of und

Yes, and I still wonder at the sanity of making it the default given the large number of known problems. I've lost data, irrecoverably, with Btrfs on at least two occasions--the filesystem was completely toasted. More recently I'

That's fairly straightforward to work around, however. I've used both autoconf and cmake to do functional testing of which headers are available, and then include the most recent available out of <memory>, <tr1/memor

This brings back some memories. While it's nearly 20 years old, it's taken a surprisingly long time for this to become widely understood and tackled. Even today, tools like Automake default to recursion. It offers a non-recursiv

The dual ABI is only implemented in libstdc++, so if you want to use the new ABI in a library then all your dependent libraries will then need to use the new ABI so you are all using the same std::string etc.. From this point of view it&#x

by rleigh 11y ago
You are correct that C++11 required changes to certain implementation details of libstdc++. However, you are incorrect about this making the new implementation incompatible with old code compiled against older libstdc++ versions; this is e

by rleigh 11y ago
GCC libstdc++ has been backward compatible with no ABI breaks for around a decade. GNU libc for what, two decades. You don't break such fundamental ABIs on a whim. If the libstdc++ ABI had changed, it would have broken every single b
960.
by rleigh 11y ago
Well, this is a false question. The ABI didn't break; GCC5 deliberately supports both the old pre-C++11 and new C++11 ABIs in the same library . There are various arguments for and against this approach, but the bottom line is tha
