Yes, I should emphasize that the minor differences are really minor and mostly typographical. There's no reason to need the published copy over the draft unless you're IBM working on icc, one of the head gcc maintainers, etc.

The C++ draft and published standard are so similar, the only parties I imagine would need the published copy are gcc frontend developers, technical managers at IBM, etc. As an individual who gets into the deep dark crevices of C++, I'

By "you", do you mean companies that send these emails? But good point. What you said is another reason that the CAN-SPAM might be violated by requiring a login to unsubscribe.

I also hate that. You could claim that doing this is a violation of the CAN-SPAM act since it can be assumed that there will be people who have forgotten their password, so therefore the unsubscribe button is nonfunctional.

If the vulnerability required scripting or special tools to be written, yes, it should be disclosed in private. But anyone can happen upon this, and I imagine the reaction for most is "Huh! That's funny! My friends and followers w

Amazing! With SVG being supported on all browsers you should care about today, it obsoletes icon fonts, which require the entire icon set to be downloaded. Anyone know of a FontAwesome-like project, ideally with a CDN, that serves SVG icons

Ah, yes. It uses nanovg and libsamplerate, which are very CPU heavy.

As an answer to "why", if you are curious: Technical limitations of being a VST/AU plugin: Sparse support of window resizing, lack of multiple simultaneous DAW integration, ability to only exist on multiple channels, ability

Yes, documentation is needed, so I'm collaborating with a few people to get everything documented. You can hold Ctrl while clicking-and-dragging on an output to create a stackable cable on top of it, or drag from an input to the output

That would fall under the aformentioned "amalgamated" interfaces. In Rack you can (theoretically) plug or unplug new interfaces with a different sample rates and block sizes without rebuilding your virtual interface, since they ar

Yes, IMO. Modular is advanced, but it's the purest, most fundamental way of synthesizing sound. Many people complain that they never see modular artists make normal subtractive patches (the typical VCO > VCF > VCA, modulated with

Multiple audio interface support is experimental. This is a feature even AAA DAWs do not have, and if so, they are "amalgamated interfaces" rather than separate simultaneous connections. If you get into a crash-on-boot loop, remov

What use cases are there for minifying SVG? It never struck me as something that was large enough to be worth compressing its filesize in any way. It's the CPU/GPU that you usually want to worry about, since only a few characters

The code examples in the five screenshots on the homepage are some of the first real-world use cases I've seen of "real" Haskell. It gives the impression of Haskell as a practical language other than an idealized clean-room e

I already mentioned two ways around this, which is why your argument is void: Holding small amounts in PayPal (or similar) accounts, and bypassing cards entirely and using bank routing transactions. Both are solved technical problems.

Right, totally agree, but this is not the reason that micropayments is not more commonplace. It's equally difficult to get people to log into a payment system to pay $1.40 vs $1.55.

The "learning programming was much easier back in the day" rhetoric is exaggerated. Programming on any device is much easier than it was 10 years ago in VBScript, which was easier than 10 years before. Downloading some $1 app to w

You can connect PayPal to your bank without a credit or debit card, so yes, they can be out of the equation if the consumer wants to. I don't think PayPal or card fees are significant in this discussion of micropayments. The issue of m
