This is a really funny reply. Might not be a bad idea at all to make some money explaining scientific articles on Hacker News.

Can anyone explain why one would stop with PGP? This question presupposes everybody knows why, but I don't.

In C++ you typically access arrays with unsigned integers (size_t), and a common pitfall is: for (size_t i = v.size() - 1; i >= 0; --i) { std::cout << i << ": " << v[i] << std::endl; To fi

Awesome, that looks like an attempt to replace QML by native C++. Would be great if there was a SwiftUI inspired C++ UI framework (well, of course C++ might not lend itself so well for the job, but I'm just very curious what it would l

In a 2-body system on the complex plane, can't you basically take any point as the origin and describe the motion of te bodies in terms of a complex Fourier series, with the interpretation that the bodies orbit a circle on a circle ...

I don't understand why this gets downvoted. It's an entirely valid point and probably SwiftUI took inspiration from it.

Well, you can almost surely write entire apps in QML if you take the C++ entrypoint for granted. Just a couple examples: you can do Bluetooth discovery scans in QML without writing any C++ [1], you can read from ~20 sensors without writing

Are there historical examples of this happening in other companies? It's scary to think the answer to ops question is not immediately obvious.

Yes, in that case you probably need to parse a config file. But you might also encounter DI config files for specific environments, like development where you inject MockMailer, TrivialLogger and InMemoryDatabase instead of RealLifeMailer,

What this blog post does not address is the joy of configuring DI with XML files /s Isn't it bizarre how software developers have taken runtime DI to such extremes that it was considered a good idea to configure services in XML or

Which neither means that beautiful math is necessarily describing the world inaccurately. Taken to the extreme, the best description of the world is a long list of all events and facts. No beauty in that. Now science tries to compress this

How many people would immediately understand the code sample: auto h = make_histogram( axis::regular<>(6, -1.0, 2.0, "x") ); // fill histogram auto data = { -10, -0.4, 1.1, 0.3, 1.3 };

There is this background color named 'snow'. It looks great and it's just four letters. In HEX it is #FFFAFA (I don't think many CSS minifiers consider #FFFAFA -> snow).

Well, to be fair, compression speed is not great: 17400 kB/s for gzip vs 2.75 kB/s for nncp (large network).
