I must admit that I do have a south-facing bay window... The sun's drying power certainly isn't at its best at this time of year, but if I wash things after work in the evening, and get them in the sun's line of sight ready f

Do you think this is very common? I haven't used discs regularly in my PC since about 2005. In 2011-13, I used DVDRs to make regular repo backups for the company I ran at the time. In 2006-9 I had a car with a CD player but no tape dec

Quite often, when time you suggest using a loop rather than a tail call, people pop up to tell you that the code is neater as a tail call. So I'm assuming the comment about ugliness is a way of heading off these people ;) I'm happ

It definitely flickers a bit when running in XQuartz. (I hope this change doesn't make it run crappily in XQuartz! X-Windows programs that do double buffering draw to an offscreen buffer often perform really poorly, poorly enough that

The only F key I don't use regularly is f6. (Though f2 is mainly a Windows thing... I doubt I use it much in OS X.) I've got a keyboard with clicky button-type Esc and F keys, which might be a fair approximation to the new F key s

Split layout (optional); numeric keypad; navigation keys; cursor keys; Print Screen key; 2 control keys; symmetrical meta keys; separate volume and mute keys.

C-] might be a better bet - it will cancel any active command, like C-g, and also back out of any recursive edits, while leaving your window layout intact.

Good question. I had a look at the code again, and... it didn't look too bad? My recollection was that the lack of a base+index*scale+disp32 addressing mode (like on x86/x64) was annoying, but I'm not sure why any more.

As always with Windows, though, the UX isn't quite right... If that spot is occupied by a pinned shortcut, Windows will run that program. But it won't remember that it's done that - so if it takes a while to start, and you pr

You can use something like this: http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=65625 Works pretty well... I managed to use it to write a couple of stupid demo-type effects a couple of years ago, even though I have no Amiga, and no re

There's at least one compiler that adds visibility into the name mangling (is it gcc? Seems like the kind of thing they'd do), so if you unhide functions in this way you still won't necessarily be able to call them. (The comp

Well, TIL. Musk wins again, then. NASA with this huge budget, and I hear nothing. Then Dear Elon does ONE reddit AMA and I doubt I'll hear the end of it before 2023 ;)

My old Macbook Pro was very good. I had it for 5 years, and it was hard-wearing and reliable. I'd probably still be using it, only it turns out that, while durable, it wasn't splashproof. Most of the "savings" for me ove

When single-stepping, it's necessary to step only one thread, to ensure that other threads don't skip the (temporarily) disabled breakpoint. There's a paper here that discusses one solution to the problems this causes: http:

I've been happy with Everything, too. Everything is good because it searches by multiple substrings, so you can be precise about what you're looking for. (The much-loved fuzzy search, on the other hand, in my experience returns re

Somebody sack the writer ;) - so, OK, I doubt I'd argue the toss if it were an interview situation. But when writing a comment or documentation I think I'd take inspiration from the documentation for either of these two fine syste
