I feel like my ideal workflow would be a middleground between doing the design up front and just jumping into coding. Before you start coding I feel like you don't have much of an idea of what problems you will run into, resulting in d

I've been doing that for my own clothes. White t-shirts turn pink, but pink is a good look too so I don't really care. Maybe that means I'm still a kid :)

Isnt supply price-inelastic in the short term, so "30% above" is the same quantity at all price levels?

Except the things you mention correspond to looking at sales data in your backend DB, not putting google analytics in your frontend, right?

Norway switched back to a tax-based model this year, where everybody above a certain income gets deducted between 150€ and 300€ more yearly. The cost to the average person went down, I assume that is mostly because there will be more total

"Turing-complete text editor can do anything" :) To be fair, I dont actually know what percentage of editors have that feature, my impression is just that many people arent aware of the idea. Maybe Im wrong though.

I don't get why more editors don't support parsing compiler output to get the file name and line for errors. Its dead simple, no need to run a server, just allow running the compiler from within the editor and have some way of con

Im unable to book flights with local airlines via firefox because the payment popup gets blocked with no warning. Sure, I can figure out whats going on and use a different browser, but it's terrible UX.

Ive experienced the same thing, but have attributed it to gaining more experience. I feel like the questions answered on stack overflow usually are ones that one can trivially solve by knowing where to find documentation, and the questions

It seems so scary to ship software where you are not in full control over font rendering, because at that point you have suddenly have a million edge cases which you weren't forced to think about up front, but which can come back and b

I'm curious in what way microsoft would not be interested in having users not install office. I thought that office was microsofts primary revenue source (maybe this is info from before cloud stuff though).

I guess "not nonsensical" would be more appropriate than "informative" :) I tend to dump information like that in "// NB (my name, current date) tralala"-style comments. Do you have git integrated in

Which part is it that confuses you? On github the commit messages and hashes on the left hand side indicate the last commit that touched those lines, and you can click on them to see the full commits, including changes made to other files.

I use git blame, but in the same way I use the rest of git: I find the commit which changed a line, and then look at what else that commit and the ones before/after it did. I guess there is some value in being able to have a quick desc

Do people actually read commit messages? I don't have much experience working on large projects with a larger team, but I keep repositories both for personal things and work so I can look at older versions. I have however never actuall

My impression from seeing old windows version (never having used anything older than vista) was that in general using an extra window instead of a separate pane inside the window was more common. As far as I can tell, the old windows explor

Killing a process without freeing all allocations is, as far as I can tell, routine in C. Especially for memory it makes no sense "freeing" allocations, the whole memory space is getting scrapped anyways. Of course, once you add R

On the fresh install of the 2019 build tools lib\x64 is 200 MB. I tried using 7zip to compress to .zip instead of to .7z, that took the archive from 25MB to 75MB. I might not have enabled ATLMFC in the installer though, I didn't change

In that folder, bin includes files for compiling from x86/x64 to x86/x64, and in practice you only need one of the subfolders (in my case the x64 to x64 toolchain). The lib folder also includes binaries for x86 and onecore. If you

Which you need the visual studio installer for, which only works half of the time. Just to check if it still is as bad as last I tried, I downloaded the build tools and started the installer. Currently downloading 1 GB of data... Edit: To n

Not sure exactly what folder you mean, but I literally have a 75 MB zip file (or rather, it's a .7z file, zipping would make it slightly larger). Unzipped its 700 MB though.

If you install visual studio, and then copy together all the files it adds to %PATH%, %INCLUDE% and %LIB%, and create a .bat script to set environment variables to point to your copies of these files you get a fully portable first-class com

The "<resource> is cheap" mantra also really only makes sense if you are writing server code, where you yourself pay for all the memory your code will ever use. If you deploy code to a large number of users it makes little s

I guess thats more an issue of "modern" IDEs, which seem invariably bloated. Im sure there are productivity arguments to be made about using an IDE, but I can't get over how they all take forever to start, and how any change

Do you have a high dpi display? Lite does neither supixel-aa nor hinting, which is very noticeable on a 24" 1080p display. The lack of hintig is most noticeable at the top of letters where sharp edges look blury.

I'm on a athlon x4 860k at the moment, which according to benchmarks is marginally slower than your CPU. Startup times certainly seem to be CPU bound, it pins one core to 100% during startup. This means they somehow are spending someth

I can appreciate inkscape as a tool, but I always dread starting it, because it somehow takes 10 seconds to start up. What is it doing in those 10 seconds?

This seems to assume you want to actually allocate individual objects using malloc/calloc, when in reality you usually want to pool your allocations somehow, both for performance and for your own sanity.

Isnt the ratio closer to ~6 tons of CO2 per ton of H2? You get CO2 + 4 H2, which weigh 44 and 4*2 respectively. Also, isnt this a non-issue, because (at least in theory) the reaction is contained in your converter plant, where you can colle
