not everybody is as old as me Might have to do more with interests etc in this case, because 2008 is over a decade later than my first steps on the internet :) Anyway: I completely get your point now. Yet, and this is a typical problem es

Can you elaborate? Don't know the guy, but just what I read here seems mostly backed up by science - that is to say, I haven't read a lot on addiction so am definitely not an expert, but none of what I read here seems to contradic

This has been the case for a long time on Appveyor which was is one of the reasons we stick to it for CI. Do you happen to have experience with it? I'm wondering if and why we should switch to github actions, for the repositories we ha

I've been using OneGet + ChocolateyGet provider for that for a couple of years now. So on Powershell that's basically sudo { Install-Package A B C }. After Install-Package Sudo, that is.

Not 100% sure what you mean with 'fMRI timestamps' but since you say 'recording' I assume it's the TTL/optical trigger produced at the start of each volume? And since you mention windows 98 and < 10mSec the

Relying on a database which gets updated nightly is problematic for some usage though in at least 2 ways: I don't leave my computer on if I'm not using it so there's a good chance the db will simply never update (I guess?) pl

One thing that always annoyed me was the time stamps So much this. Now your example can still be countered somewhat by taking notes and writing down which scan was taken when. This is usually common practice in research. But it can get wo

If the gui doesn't actually require interaction that doesn't really matter, does it? But most installations have a silent mode where they do not show a gui. All of the aforementioned applications are installed like that (inluding

I've always got the feeling that MS specific developers are highly visual studio oriented This and the rest of your post is about one specific kind of developer, and I honestly wonder how you can think that's it.. Lack of experi

Sure, but the image shows a desktop. I'm talking about differences of the Surface vs a 'standard' laptop when used on your lap.

The hinge is sturdy so in comparison with a laptop you don't have one big contact area with your legs but the bottom of the kickstand and the botom of the machine itself which don't move with respect to each other. The bottom of t

Same experience here. I hear the 'unusable on lap' sentiment seemingly often (including in the OP article itself). Yet, I honestly cannot tell is because it's only the ones with a bad experience speaking up and the rest remai

For me on FF this is only a tiny bit faster to load the main page, but way less readable and pictures are so small you have to open them to be able to see what's in there. So not a net positive result imo.

Don't know a whole lot about it, but as far as I can tell it's pretty good. Normally when I see one it gets used heavily; the holes by all kinds of mason bees and the rest as shelter/housing for other insects. Only possible p

It's nice the possible detrimental aspect on native wild species gets brought to attention more especially given the biodiversity crisis. I didn't used to know anything about the matter until I met a biologist studying the rarer l

The non-rigid keyboard makes using it without a desk impossible Can you elaborate? Which version? I've been using the Surface Pro 6 and I don't notice a difference with using it on a desk or on my lap.

This. The Surface Pro is a really decent machine and I don't have any complaints on how it functions as a laptop and 'workstation' (or whatever you call laptop+2 monitors+mouse+keyboard), but as far as tablet goes: the hardwa

Vcpkg will support a manifest file that can specify all your dependencies declaratively and can be checked into source control. Sounds good.

Some of them, very much. Go have a look in academia where there are hordes of tech-illiterates working on linux just because of reasons like some obscure piece of software working only properly on linux, because the postdoc did it that way,

Depends. For obscure behavior features, ok, for 'language features' I'm probably still going to pass. Because in this example case that would come down do # See stackoverflow/highlyupvoted/wtf/does/pyt

That actually proves my point. I'm not really good in learning certain facts by heart so if I see a < b < c it is going to take multiple seconds, likely followed by an internet search so add a couple of minutes to that, before I

That thing is good, it's just a bit of a pitty the titles are so undescriptive. For example a typical one (in other languages as well) like a closed-over loop variable having the value of the last iteration in the closure, is called &q

One of the comments lays out why I probably never use things like this: And this is exactly why I tend to wrap compound logical comparisons in parens, I simply can't remember the syntax across all the languages I use, and it's no

Theoretically the answer to all your questions is yes. Simply said (but not false AFAIK, I work in the field): stimulate the correct group of brain cells and you can achieve pretty much anything you want; after all everything you do/fe

The fix is always to replace static_cast with reinterpret_cast. I've had cases when I was refactoring and suddenly somewehere in template code the compiler bascially told me that what I was trying to do was plain wrong, i.e. casting

I know what everything does and what everything should be I used to be like that, but turns out after 5 years not looking at a piece of code you don't know anything anymore (well at least I don't) and then change something only
