Compiling projects is inherently complicated, so the solution must also be complicated. You can solve the problem on a spectrum of easy but lack of configurability, or complex/verbose but very flexible. Make is the latter. The author h

I'd imagine you should put the hair near the right edge, so people would swipe right since it's the smallest moving distance. Consider how one might hold a phone and the "area of easiest access" for one- and two-handed h

Bingo! VCV Rack is built for musicians, not software developers, many who do not know how to unzip a downloaded plugin. This is perfectly fine, because musicians can do many things that I can't. So to make it possible to use for the ma

That's actually a fairly complete and accurate list of reasons for such a project. If I was interested, I'd do it for about half of those reasons, and others may prefer the other half.

You don't get to remove numbers from the game roulette. If you need to be picky for whatever reason (even if completely justified), don't play the game. Adding those features would make the website just be another pizza ordering w

Seconded. Disqus is bloated beyond repair. Open source + hosted is a fantastic model for consumers and entrepreneurs, and the hosted money would be enough to get rid of advertisements.

I thought I knew printf format strings, but I suppose not because I have no idea what %1$.*1$d %2$hn does. Can anyone explain why that increments the value behind a pointer?

"The way we do things" is the legal code, and I believe this is better changed in court, not at a police office.

You post is tongue-in-cheek but it brings up an interesting question: Is an experienced foreign policeman a better candidate than an untrained lifelong citizen who is just starting a career? I would guess no, since laws and "the way of

What you are saying is correct. It might not offend many, and it surely doesn't offend me, but the #1 rule of PR is that if you have the slightest thought that there's a hidden meaning of your statement, or if someone could concei

I'm not saying Netflix exposes all personal data to all their staff, and it's very likely that the PR staff have no direct access to this data whatsoever. Here's likely what happened: DB admin guy runs a query to see who has

I don't think that the privacy concerns are anything out of the ordinary. It's simply a reminder that Netflix employees can see users' watch data. Everyone knows that. Revealing private data is a bit weirder, but it is comm

There are many valid use cases of macros in C (and other languages) which you might not have seen, like those which use __LINE__ etc, those which expand a string into a variable type or function, those which process `-DNAME=x` flags.
925.
by vortico 9y ago
You are correct, this usage is wrong. They are "preprocessor directives", and macros are only what come after #define.
926.
by vortico 9y ago
The golden rule of macros is "always read the definition of macros before using." If you know it's a single value you're probably fine `#define MASK 0xf7`, but if it's a function macro or a normal macro that you kn

Because typically you can't get away with sneaking code like `void keylogger() {` into freely available code. Even if hidden well, it will be discovered sooner or later with enough eyes. The only insecurities "allowed" by ope
