The impossible-to-miss headline says "small teams". I interpret the more detailed description in that context: no arbitrary limit on small team members. No sane person would argue that 500+ is small team. The limit in place seem

They seem to be more robust, but boost::future::then() has weird design that makes it all but useless for real-life use. They return the same kind of future that std::async() does, i.e. its destructor blocks until the future is ready. In ot

That you misremember it or are too young to know better doesn't mean that it "is simply untrue". It's not, it was valuable for many years. It's your revisionist history that is simply untrue.

That would only be true for only some recipients (by far not "everybody") only if Google's SPF record forbade other SMTP servers with -all. It doesn't, it uses ~all soft-fail. Why? Precisely because of this: there are l

Nonsense. You need that stuff for localized releases. Allowing worldwide purchase of the English/US version (take it or leave it) is perfectly possible and is easier. Did you somehow miss how software or SaaS is sold these days? Wo

On what grounds? If the previous landlord gives truthful reference (i.e. no slander and nothing illegal) when asked, including the trouble they had to go through to evict you, there's nothing to sue them over. But that information alon

"100% native widgets" is the easy part and wxWidgets/wxPython is doing just that (and always have been). Providing higher-level API is harder and again, wx does that too. But the devil is in the detail. The reason why many wx

The point is that there's nothing you can do. You are not the one making the choice. Hence the only solution is to restrain the police.

I moved from FastMail to Gmail a few years back because of poor spam filtering. Recently, Gmail was getting worse and worse at filtering spam for me. Plus IMAP was never reliable, so I switched back to FastMail last year and its spam filter

This… doesn’t ring true, considering that Apple’s bug tracker isn’t public at all — bug reports are not publicly visible or searchable, only the submitter and Apple can see them. That’s why openradar.me exists in the first place. So the cla

You’re missing the part about costs being controlled . Their high fees won’t be paid — some portion of them will. Similar system works where I live: there’s a well defined attorney hourly fee, which is what is used to calculate the reimbur

iBookstore allows publishers to sell books as DRM-free, so Tor books should be OK from it. Subterranean Press' books are DRM-free in iBookstore too. Unfortunately, other's aren't (I only bought a few books there and it's a 50/50 split so fa
