"regulators are considering steps to tighten emissions standards for diesel engines"? - interesting that the old emissions standards were (one presumes) absolutely fine, until somebody turns out to have been cheating.

Not the case in the UK, I suspect, which is where I live - most people will be familiar with A3/A4/A5. They've been the standard for the past 50-odd years, and penetration of non-ISO paper sizes is approximately 0%. Until I f

xargs is worse than find, I'd say, on account of its useless default mode of operation. If it accepted newline-delimited input, it would cater for every non-pathological case, rather than (as it does now) failing miserably on many reas

I only did upgrades on my old MBP too, and always found it fine. I went from Leopard to Snow Leopard to Lion to Mountain Lion to Mavericks. Nothing serious went wrong at any point (though I did have to reinstall or update the odd program),

Every business will have an order price factory in it. Prices aren't just picked by the roll of a dice! If you're trying to model the inner workings of a business, you probably don't want to be starting with the customer&#x27

Another way of doing it is to use variables and helper functions, particularly if you're going to be creating lots of regexps from similar components. This is what I usually do in Python. For example, while making no promises about the

VC++ has historically been the odd man out, but it's improved greatly in the last couple of versions. Certainly, VS2013 has reasonable support for a lot of C99 code. My C99 code builds on clang (OS X), gcc (Linux), and VC++ (Windows).

And at the same time, while the development team is having fun with the blame game, somebody is waiting for a build that never comes! At least do it the right way round: developer machines build with -Werror, and build PC should build witho

Going by the diagram, it looks as if substantial changes in direction are being counted as a new stroke (which is arguable). Look at `r' - I somehow doubt the pen is lifted between drawing one part and the next.

You can end up needing a lot of different RAII types, which can get a bit annoying. If you're trying to interface with anything that wasn't written with RAII in mind - e.g., any library that tries to be C-compatible - this is pret

If we can have a teletype metaphor today in 2015, 40-odd (or thereabouts) years later, with the awfulness of this whole idea being a minority viewpoint, perhaps we need to just go with the web browser metaphor today, and see what comes of i

Oh. How did you do this? Are you using an NVidia GPU? Does XRandR work? I couldn't get this to work at all, though I was using the closed drivers (since I couldn't find any evidence CUDA works with the open ones). Do you need the

cmake is certainly worth looking at. Doesn't take much to get up and running with it, it's pretty straightforward to use once you're set up, it takes out-of-source builds seriously, and it's got fair support for adding c

God help you if you ever pick up a book ;) (A book is like a Steve Yegge blog post, or maybe a Mencius Moldbug one, but printed out in a thing that looks a bit like a large version of a Moleskine. Maybe ask your grandparents.)
