I only have experience with flatbuffers in C++ (it seemed easier to be integrated in a project back then). Can anyone comment on the pros and cons of flatbuffers vs protobuffers?

Some people I know literally share LaTeX math in emails and chats and assume my head has an internal LaTeX-compiler to understand it (usually I do). I guess this means people are really accustomed to writing maths in one go in LaTeX -- it&#

It's just some symmetric encryption with a randomly generated key (in the hash of the generated url). Meaning you now have to find a way to safely send this URL ... and you are right where you started. It's no safety at all.

This service is begging the question. It encrypts a secret message by ... generating a random password and using symmetric encryption. If only there was a way to safely pass the password that encrypts my password. Or should I recursively us

I'm excited about BLE for the browser. I'm not sure what multiplatform (mobile & desktop) alternatives there are except for Qt, and even Qt has bugs and open issues you have to work around. For instance, only Qt 5.13+ has supp

C++ devs are encouraged to do loopless programming by using algorithms in the standard library; plus C++20 ranges should improve the ease of loopless programming. Where J shines is array based programming. The C++ algorithms are concerned w

Not really a real-world app, but a simple QtQuick with Qt3d app worked pretty well. When it comes to app sizes, a vanilla Qt app produces an apk file of ~15MB, which is reasonable. I had troubles accessing external storage (the SD-card), an

Z performs coercion, but it's coercion rules make more sense than JavaScript's: "9" + 2 # ==> 11 "9" ++ 2 # ==> "92" Yeah, that just doesn't make things better

Oh, that's funny, thanks for pointing that out. I had exactly this in mind (or the proof that the set of rational numbers are countable), but mistakenly thought it was called the 'diagonal argument' because you would get the

by stabbles 7y ago
Yes, you can use Cantor's diagonal argument to enumerate all triples. No, it does not answer the question whether every integer can be written as the sum of three cubes; it only would if the set of integers was finite.

Not all containers though, since C++17 std::vector, std::list and std::forward_list do support incomplete element types as long as the allocator meets certain requirements. So std::vector<Node> is definitely OK.

by stabbles 7y ago
Yes, I was playing around with it as well. It seems the support has been out there for a while, but officially since C++17 http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2015/n437... was ac

Well, an unordered_map / hash map is in the end backed by a dynamically sized array, so "Map implementation don’t have to allocate space to store pointers for the entire character set" might not be true for two reasons: (1) t

Is `shared_ptr` just used for convenience? I think `unique_ptr` would be excellent for this tree structure. It's not too bad to traverse the tree using non-owning raw pointers.

by stabbles 7y ago
What is the best alternative still supporting UTF8? Yeah, sure, if you only support ASCII input you could use std::array<std::unique_ptr<Node>, 128>. Edit: well, of course you could break up the UTF8 string in bytes and stick wi

I'm not entirely sure either, but maybe it's meant to be interpreted in light of the 'existence precedes essence' concept of existentialism. 'Being' might then mean leading a life where one choses their destiny
