For this reason, I wouldn't recommend that anyone try this. I expect that the Darklang employees will present a really early/difficult platform to the startup and require that the developer expand the platform as they go, which wi

Oh yes, I forgot to make it clear that `Foo` is a C struct from a C API. There are tens of thousands of such libraries. An issue with your wrapper is that it is not generic enough and thus must be written for each Foo-like object. That coul

This is a reasonable suggestion since the code isn't too bad. std::unique_ptr<Foo, std::function<void(Foo*)>> p(new Foo, [](Foo* p) { if (p) destroyFoo(p); }); // initialize Foo and set to

A general rule in C++ programming is that time spent "perfecting" your code increases, the more difficult it is to change and maintain it, and the probability of using Boost approaches 1. Using Boost as a dependency makes your pro

Tell that to the APIs I work with, like POSIX sockets/Winsock, etc. You're suggesting that I wrap them all with RAII? That's ridiculous when you have hundreds of C types which are all used just once or twice. Using defer make

This also works well with a C++ `defer` helper. #define CONCAT_LITERAL(x, y) x ## y #define CONCAT(x, y) CONCAT_LITERAL(x, y) template <typename F> struct DeferWrapper { F f; DeferWrapper

https://vcvrack.com/ I handle password resets by hand when people email my support address. A horrible solution, but it's a great form of rate limiting and prevents abuse, and I only get 1 request/day average.

Tens of thousands, email + password only. Not one person has complained.

>People can't barely manage passwords, they can't manage them at all. This is like walking in a room, seeing a tiny speck of red paint on the wall and saying that the wall is painted red. Virtually everyone who owns a computer

Censorship is the correct term for any organization restricting content. E.g. a parent restricting a child's TV is censorship. The First Ammendment only deals with censorship by the US Government.

Why don't they have a normal employee play the "be fired" role? Unless he gets fired 8 times a day, I don't see why he's idle...

It doesn't require Make but xmake http://xmake.io/ . It's pretty self-explanitory by reading the build scripts why it needs it.

The author admitted the stronger-than-needed title in the first comment, but I'd like to make it clear when talking about practical personal security: There are ~100,000 people in the world that would think to run a GPU password cracke

I found this article difficult to follow, mostly because I'm not familiar with the people or event, and it begins with rhetoric assuming the reader is familiar. Here's a list of the "characters". https://en.wi

There's no problem with replacing, other than losing the ability to glance at an object and determine which language it came from, and name conflicts with `util.c` and `util.cpp` in the same directory (believe me, it happens).

Pretty spot on. I use a pretty similar dependency system for all of my C and C++ projects. FLAGS += -MMD CFLAGS += $(FLAGS) CXXFLAGS += $(FLAGS) OBJECTS += $(patsubst %, build/%.o, $(SOURCES)) DEPS = $(patsubst %

You could even go as far as saying that a class in some forms is a state machine. Networking is a huge application of state machines. Microcontrollers usually have a small state and step through a switch statement in an infinite loop. OpenG

Weird, so manufacturers just haven't implemented uncompressed 6-channel optical audio? Is it bandwidth?

Does the optical input for the amplifier only suport AC-3? Why don't manufacturers use a more naive patent-free method that might be slower? Are they really starving for bandwidth enough to justify the cost of an AC-3 license? Even u
