Fair point about the documentation, but I doubt it's allowed to fail: the 'except AttributeError' is only meant to skip the complete test for builds without support for it, builds which do support it will run the test and wil

Can you give a practical example of how a codebase can prevent restrict typical 'here's a bazooka to shoot yourself in the foot' C++ code?

Agreed; it's not bad what the OP explains, though indeed a bit platform-restricted, but with a title like that I expected more of the architectural points/standard good practices/design principles/... to pass by. While t

Again, no, that is not what bothers me. I'm not sure if I was really that unclear - twice - or if it's just because it's monday :) So here it goes, in full (similar to sibling poster cesarb's story): once you could, spen

What's wrong with the kernel supporting a wide variety of hardware? I think you misunderstood my reply. I'm not saying the kernel should drop support, I'm merely replying to the 'doesn't bother anyone' with a

That makes it sound like their adoption was the main cause for it becoming widespread. Do you have a source to back that up? It's just not how I remember it, but that might be my memory failing and/or being warped.

No problem: as far as making your point the example was good enough. It's just that - as you may have noticed - I'm not exactly a fan of Dyson and wanted to explain HN why :)

by stinos 6y ago
Again, if you buy a Dyson that follows EU norms it still works great. Bit off topic perhaps, but in my experience: Dyson does not necesarily work great nor handles well nor does last particularly long. Ok this is only anecdotal from my ex

It's sad when technological advances go hand in hand with disadvantages for, basically, the planet. But it's especially so when it's (to some extent) avaoidable and definitely so when it gets executed by companies who have pl

Might be because I can vividly imagine there are many of those. I.e. suppose you're doing nice work on improving VScode (just to name a well known thing) and then another unrelated part of your company does stupid things like this and

The engineers made some great improvements under the hood. But the product decisions are a disaster. This would be a good reply anytime someone goes the generalist 'Microsoft does this and that and that and that and it's all bad

Might also depend on how you use it. I have no repositories which I maintain on github worth speaking of, I only contribute, so 99% of time I spend in issue/PR views to which I go directly via links from notification emails. While as p

Yup, not sure where the OP got the 5mSec number; perhaps it's about the soundcard buffering but then it's probably sort of high end using ASIO drivers and a rather small buffersize (say 192 samples at 44.1kHz) because I duoubt you

Second, no collaboration suite like Drive/Docs. Let's be realistic: it's an email service. Complaining it doesn't do everything Google does seems a little unfair.

True, but that's still not really what I'd call random or arbitrary. registry settings are things that should be user settings User settings are most of the time registry settings since that thing is used where other OS use plai

Seeing that what you describe is a fairly recent thing in windows in the larger scale of things (assuming you talk about the UAC prompt): I'm not sure that has much to do with it. I met people working under that asumption 2 decades ago

Looks like some work has been done in that direction: https://github.com/micropython/micropython/issues/888#issuec... https://github.com/micropython/micropython/issues/3474

Again shows what you can do with lidar images. I'm not sure how widely they are publicly available but if you can get lidar footage of an area you (think) you know definitely check it out. There's a lot of man-made things to disco

Wouldn't that be like looking through the windows to see what clothes they wear or at what time they go to bed or who they sit at the table with? Hehe with 'theme' I was actually just thinking about the color of the outer w

Such analogies really depend on what the telemetry contains (granted, I don't know in this case). I.e. you describe it as stealing from inside the house. Say, VSCode figuring out your email adress and reporting it. But it might as wel

If a package is easier to ship as a binary because the source is hard to distribute reliably, we give up hope of end users being able to modify and build their own versions You might be giving up hope too soon, because what you describe h

Anything unambiguous really, whatever works for the job. So unless the job is looking at very limited amount of data and drawing conclusions from it just using your brain, that means you need some kind of visalisation and processing tool. L

Nice, until the CSV part really. I mean you have a nice DataFrame there but then it gets serialized using probably the worst format out there for totally variable data like what you scrape from a site. Unless the file uses the actual ASCII
