Well... Yeah, there's some merit to errno : it lets you handle errors. Otherwise it's a horrible piece of crap: - It's a global (sorry, thread-local ) variable, updated behind the scenes. - You can't tell whether a fun

The joke's on them, I feed my dumb TV a video-only HDMI stream from an OSMC box. Audio goes directly to my HiFi amp.

The ball's state can be described by its y coordinate, and it converges to zero. The lightbulb's state can be described by Boolean variable (on/off), but it doesn't converge, just oscillates between on and off with an ex

I think it's nice that more and more languages take inspiration from the Python community. For example, I've recently found a way to use Python-like type hints in C++. Crazy, huh? The trick is to replace "auto" with the

If we put perfect elasticity aside (that is, the coefficient of restitution [0] is < 1) then the ball would bounce back to exponentially decaying heights. However, because of this, the duration of each bounce would also get shorter and s
