There's a whole myriad of genres and there are really a lot of them where distortion plays an important role in the sound. Thinking of it, probably every single track I played most involves use of distortion. I'm almost certain it

This. Nothing wrong with decorators per se. Just one typical example: measuring a couple of functions execution time by just decorating them definitely fullfils what the OP wants: simple and readable. Obviously there is more than one way to

For me it's the other way around. I mean, it's like one of the few commands which says what it does: re-base. Makes all kind of sense to me: take what you have and put it on top of something else. So same as a bunch of cherry-pick

Unused function argument is a warning any sane compiler can spit out and turn into a hard error (so this is not really the best example of what PVS studio can do for you), which makes one wonder: why was this not caught earlier? Warnings no

It's really low maintenance I think that depends on your frame of reference. Sure in comparison with maintaining a forest the way you describe it's low (though note that there's always the option of not maintaining a forest

That's an interesting point; I think it depends on the situation though. Especially houseplants could pose a risk here, in which case it's probably easier to just not get them, but oustide the situation seems to be different; I ha

I don't think that is a generalisation which can easily be made. Many factors in play as well, e.g. imagine the situation where the birds normally have to be at about ground level to pick seeds, and one hangs a feeder on a washing line

So dlc is a fork of dl, but dl itself has actually a bunch of fairly recent commits which dlc does not have. And dlp nor dlc are 'forks' in the Github sense of forking. So how does one figure out whether recent dl commits are in d

Heh, didn't know solarpunk was a thing. Anyway: materials etc are definitely a valid concern, but even in a worst case scenario I'm not sure a complete cost-benefit analysis would turn out negative for such robot. I looked around

Yes, I just wanted to briefly highlight one specific problem (fertilizer), but indeed there are many more problems leading to the biodiversity crisis; soil turning being just another piece of the puzzle. And the way it gets typcially used i

Not really sure what you're hinting at, but yes using robots instead of herbicides would be a step forward. Robots can be programmed to not leak out into surrounding nature. And actually yes maintaining a variety of weeds/bush aro

Also interesting to note: the heavy use of nitrogen fertiliser is also one of the reasons for the biodiversity crisis. Which according to some is a problem just as serious as the climate crisis, but is much less reported on in global media.

There's a major difference though: when Google abandons a service it is gone and you have to look for an alternative. When Microsoft 'abandons' WPF your 15 old application still builds and runs today and receives occasional u

I have quit using exceptions in my own code, making everything 'nothrow'. Assuming not all code you use is your own, how does this work in combination with other code (like the STL) which is not nothrow?
