While I understand and agree with what you say, this is generally the reason why I never open Facebook, but instead use Pidgin. This is why I don't like YouTube, but instead prefer youtube-dl + mplayer. This is why I'm far more li

Things like this really make me miss the old Firefox experiment "Ubiquity". It was truly a marvel for the time it was up, and I often wonder why they did discontinue it. You could search websites, send emails, look at maps and muc

Returning regular pointers which point to memory which is not managed by you and that you by default know could disappear at any time is not the C++ way of doing anything. Thing is, a class has a public interface for a reason, and if you as

Or, you know, instead of returning two C pointers which in modern C++ makes no sense, return a vector of `std::pair<size_t,size_t>` with position and length of each substring, and if needed use `std::string::substr` to extract the par

I actually really agree with you, and I even know most of old chess champions since I've been a chess fan for a long time. The article randomly jumped every few paragraphs for no reason to something completely unrelated. I just could n

We're not talking about washing your hands with disinfectant every time you open a door, we're talking about car accidents here. Have you ever seen one? You're trying to be cocky and all, but you have no idea of what you are

I go into interviews with another mindset. I think that I'm going to get relatively nice problems that I can try to solve without real-world consequences, and that is always fun. I also think that I'm going to meet people who code

What about showing the cursor in the middle of some placeholder text, and highlighting the desired final cursor position with a red dot? This would offer a very specific goal to the user without the need for more complex, high level actions

This will not work, as `throw_on_error` is not going to be destroyed at the end of the printing statement. Sure, you could wrap the whole thing up into a local scope, but as this trick was invented to save a couple of lines of vertical spac

While true, you also have to take into consideration that generally submarines are in normal pressure conditions, as they are not really designed to let people in and out all the time. I would imagine that living in a submarine is way more

You know what it's going to happen? It's going to remain free for a while, so that everybody cools down. Then little by little, they will make it their own. And since every time the change will be minimal, everybody will simply ad

I have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, and I'm planning to complete my Master's degree in AI by September. Given what you just wrote I'm not sure following AI courses at a University would be best for you, since

The benefit is indirect rather than direct, as in the user benefits from the increased availability of plugins/guis since they would be easier to create. Also vim lacks lots of very simple but essential features of modern code editors
