I've worked professionally with geometrics engineers to correctly display maps and place markers in all the right places. Your description matches my experience. I will say, though. I was surprised at how much you can do with a flat Ea

As a C++ developer, I see things entirely the other way. Java templates are much less powerful than C++ templates. In Java, templates were basically just a convenient way to do type erasure. That's better than nothing, but the inabilit

"Let’s Talk about Freddish" (1977) seems to be the original source for this advice, but it's surprisingly difficult to find a copy. All I can find are websites that re-reported what The Atlantic wrote.

I was expecting there to be more to it than that, but I understand their point now.

That does answer my question, but I don't really understand why the distinction is made. To the caller, a function that spends time waiting and a function that spends the same time calculating both look the same, don't they?

> A non-async function is "regular logic", it must complete without blocking. What does 'blocking' mean? I would expect the definition of synchronous to be the exact opposite; i.e., a synchronous function must block t

I bought a Pixel 4a and a case direct from Google a couple months ago. For some strange reason, they shipped the case immediately, then the phone a few weeks later. When I got the phone, I realized that the case had never arrived. Google re

Amazon sends sends the questions out and presents them as if you specifically were being asked by somebody. It's like if Amazon built a guide map by walking up to people on the street and asking, "how do you get to the airport fro

Does this actually confuse anyone? There are plenty of problems with iostreams, but I have never been encountered an issue caused by the use of << for streams.

If you enjoy it, that's something that has value. The point of earning money is to buy things you enjoy with it. There's nothing wrong with forgoing income to acquire something you enjoy rather than spending income on something yo

I doubt Red Hat spent any money at all on acquiring CentOS. The OS was literally just Red Hat Enterprise Linux with the logos removed and without the subscription fee. RH probably just promised to help maintain it and provide infrastructure

It was used in iOS and Android applications [1]. That was where I found it most confusing. Website headers would look exactly like those dragable items. Windows previously used similar texturing in a few places, including for scrollbars in

I found the hamburger menu very surprising the first time I encountered it. It's identical in appearance to the drag handle symbol. The drag handle even has an obvious physical interpretation: the lines are ridges. It's a textured

IMO, it makes more sense just to have a high property tax rate and return funds to residents (either directly, or through well-funded city services). It achieves basically the same thing in the end, but with less fiddling over details like

As a C++ developer who writes a lot of unit tests and cares a lot about performance, the tag line sounds appealing, but I can't tell whether this is something meant for me. Is this a general tool, or is it specific to web development?

It's a lot easier to add the rest of the solar system if it rotates around the Earth horizontally, and you need that to explain the day/night cycle, seasons and tides.

Qt Script was basically never adopted by anyone and was effectively a dead module by the time Qt 5 released, even if it was only officially deprecated in 2015 with Qt 5.5. Qt Multimedia is actually pretty important, but I assume they have a

Mathematically, the extension to 3D is trivial. Computationally, the difference is enormous. You're moving from O(n²) cells required to fill a space to O(n³). Rendering also becomes significantly more complex, as you wouldn't be a

No? The top comment in that thread is the author of Ninja discussing how he addressed the problems described in the article. And, despite its title, the article itself goes on to discuss why and how to use mtime in a build system.
