I wonder if anyone voting this up has ever thought about what it takes to put something on the shelves of a traditional store. I think developers in general should thank their lucky stars that any of this exists.

It seemed to me that Cortana returned the most correct answers without any extra fluff. The google results seemed to have the same accuracy but the phone said so much extra information in that monotonic voice that the clarity of the result

Anyone using newer versions of SQLite out of homebrew on OSX? If so are you having any trouble with conflicts of any sort with the system version? OSX heavily relies on SQLite in many places and I'm curious if it causes trouble to try

One of my favorite early Rust features, in theory, was the interactive shell called "rusti". In practice it was awful to use because it was slow, crashed all the time, and required whole blocks of code be entered at once (declarin

Interesting. I'm just starting to learn about C++ but the sense I get is that modern C++ is moving away from the preprocessor. One example is preferring the use of enums and inline functions over the use of macros. Now, that doesn&#x27
