I was getting a bit worried that we would have a Clang monoculture when it comes to C(++) tools (outside of Microsoft at least: Xcode, Kdevelop, plugins for vim, emacs, sublime text, ... all use clang beneath the hood) Seems like so does

no requirement that non-void functions actually return a value on all control paths, etc. The worst thing C++ does is to amplify these problems (particularly that last one -- yes, I know, use -Wall, but someone who is just starting to use

If anyone is looking for similar stuff, I have also been testing RhodeCode ( which despite being GPLv3 seems to be free for only 20 devs ). It installs with an interactive python script in minutes on RHEL and is much better.

The last Chrome update seems to have dropped support for NPAPI which broke the very useful 'Tab Scrolling' feature from 'Chrome Toolbox' addon. I have switched to Firefox for now, but I do miss Chrome : especially the aw

Still, he may have been pushing his team to do better.

Can you please explain what you meant ? Are you saying we need to create a cloud service that is completely secure ( which we know is impossible ). My understanding is that CloudFlare is already tackling the security aspects of hosted servi

Yes, so it is relevant to note that democracy does not prove rightness or wrongness of an idea. As many others have pointed out, democracy is the best form of government because of two reasons : 1. It ensures that absolute idiots cannot com

> perfect is the enemy of the good. Yep, that is what they say. You know what else they say ? "The enemy of good is good enough" and also "A witty saying proves nothing".

Microsoft open sourced Hyper V drivers because they were in violation of the GPL ( http://www.zdnet.com/blog/microsoft/pigs-are-flying-low-why-... ). They just made the most of it afterwards.

As much as I like C, it would be better if language choice does not depend on the performance it can deliver. It would be nice to see the JVM pull up closer to AOT compiled languages, but as this post painfully exposes, this seems implausib

Usually the justifications these companies give for such mandates is how it would look to outsiders if they are not using their own tools. On the other hand I remember reading about how Google has a corporate mandate that their employees ca
