This is what I've done too (I use Dvorak on split keyboards and QWERTY on non-split keyboards) and it's done a good job of keeping my QWERTY speed up. I do have to look at the keys if I'm trying to type QWERTY with a split ke

You might do it if you were writing an implementation of a language such as Scheme.

Strikes me the correct thing to do - unless you regularly need to drive >200 miles, in which case the decision makes itself - is in fact purchase the 60KWh version and just not buy the upgrade. The battery wear leveling must use the extr

I never use bookmarks or code folding. Perhaps people like me are in the majority?

The EIA weekly status report has domestic production at 8.7mbpd, imports at 7.4mbpd and exports at 0.5mbpd, which doesn't really count as a net exporter (or I don't think so at any rate). There are more exports of finished product

I've got my i7 Macbook Pro coincidentally plugged into a watt meter, and the power consumption went from 8W to 40W. (This is with the lid closed, fully charged, and an external monitor - idle consumption is more like 15W when the inter

I dunno about "much" older but I'm sure it was part of the Xbox tools in 2001... they provided some kind of early build of the VS2002 compiler. VS2002 proper was released in 2002 (oddly enough).

If only there were some mechanism in Unix that could be used for transferring data. If only that mechanism could somehow record which processes were using the resources in question! Then child processes could be integrated with that system

But it's not BS. If you could use one or the other, so this isn't "a[i++]" or whatever, you should always use the prefix version, particularly if you're operating on a non-primitive type. Assuming the two are writte

This is actually something Python doesn't do... generally, if you have a type error in Python, you get an exception at runtime. I certainly don't disagree with what I guess will be the overall direction of your argument.

Why would you want your log files purely as text? It tends to take up a lot more space when you're storing a useful amount of readable information. Category prefixes and time stamps alone take up enough space that you could benefit fro

It's the same number in decimal and binary :) I might be a bit weird, but I know the powers of 2 up to 2^20 in decimal. They've just snuck in there over the years, along with 2^24 and 2^31. So if I need some powers of two I might

On a scale of "zero" to "a lot less than six million", how would you rate the Institute for Historical Review?

A common assumption among C++ programmers seems to be that if an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, the value of a ton of prevention must scale up similarly. But a ton of anything is too much weight for most projects to handle.

How likely do you think it is that a world war will break out? What do you think people would have said in 1913? What about 1938? (Lest you think this is some rhetorical dogwhistle shit: don't worry. It isn't. Just an open questio
