Is there a good, terse primer on the features and coding idioms/best practices of C++17 for someone who was proficient in C++98 but hasn't touched the language in years?

It's kind of strange that massive layoffs like these result in a stock uptick. At least for me it's a sign that the company is probably unhealthy and that its value is going to go down in the future.

Eh? MyPy already implements generics. It would be a pretty useless type system otherwise since you couldn't give precise types to e.g. lists of ints.

The creator of toki pona seems to be a fan of the Finnish language. Several of the words are loaned directly (although without umlauts) and keep their original Finnish meaning. At a glance: älä, kala, -kin, nenä, nimi, sama, sinä are exact

Ah, right, sorry. I completely misread your post. I guess there's something funky in the unicode handling on the site.

You need to use curly braces in single-line do-expressions: do { line <- getLine; putStrLn line }

Yeah, the online REPL is definitely not very useful or intuitive yet. As it says, you can evaluate a single line Haskell "expression" and top-level declarations (like the sieve example) are not expressions. In addition, the sieve

At least here in Finland it is much, much easier from a regulations perspective for a company to fire a bunch of people all at once rather than just few at a time.

I fold each pair of socks into each other when I put them into the washing machine and then unfold them when hanging up to dry. All pairs stay together, no sorting necessary.

I'm not sure what you are trying to imply. :) Vista (at least after the first service pack) is a solid OS. I still run it on my gaming PC (which also dual boots to Ubuntu) and I don't see any reason whatsoever to "upgrade&quo

While "Order of War: Challenge" might have been sold separately at some point (I'm not sure), I think that most players (like me) were those who bought the original "Order of War" and got "Order of War: Challen

The article claims incorrectly that the game had 18 single-player missions. The FAQ linked from the article is for the game "Order of War". "Order of War: Challenge" is a completely separate, multi-player-only game that

Yes, but the effect of ecosystem lock-down is huge compared to 5-6 years ago. It's not about who makes the best phones or phone-OS anymore. People are invested in their respective app ecosystems and all their photos, contacts, document

The important bit isn't the Maybe-types, but all types that are _not_ Maybe. If types aren't non-nullable by default then any function parameter or return value can potentially be null and a robust program practically needs to hav

Scala doesn't really provide much of what is mentioned in the article. It still has nullable types, side-effects aren't tracked in the type-system (so any function can potentially do anything) and the presence of sub-typing has se
