PPM P6 probably wasn't "handmade" enough I guess :D

I like it as well, especially in applications like CLion/IntelliJ which have tons of keybindings I keep forgetting because they are different between Linux and macOS. The context-sensitive touch bar is actually very useful in these app

Also very common in embedded systems that simply do not have any floating point capabilities at all. For my CS dissertation I had to implement part of an OpenGL pipeline on a VLIW DSP designed for video coding, and all it had was 32-bit in

A policy like this is basically saying 'we only pay you as much as necessary to compete with your other employment options', which are currently still mostly those near where you are living. If more companies allow remote work and

I don't agree with your final conclusion, but I upvoted this regardless, because I think it is an interesting perspective that is worthwhile to philosophize on. If the Covid-19 situation taught me anything, it would be that it's a

Agree, as far as 'I left Apple for reasons...' posts go, this one is very weak, there really is nothing in that article that is not irrelevant or trivially fixable. Even the 'things I miss' paragraph makes very little se

Interesting, I tried to simply ask it whether the service would filter any offensive content at all, but it seems totally unaware what 'offensive content' could even be: Hey I'm here to answer your questions about Itemsy Hi

The not-so-funny part is that it would probably be about the same effort to do that compared to convincing everybody to use shared linking for these kinds of things >_<

Aha got it, thanks! Like you said it’s not pretty but it works, and somewhat better than the abomination they came up with instead, which involved building only the minimal part that depended on the new Lua 5.2 as shared library, then makin

I’m not sure I understand how this would help? When linking the main application there will be two component .a files linked into it, that both contain references to symbols that should be resolved to something in a liblua.a, so that needs

by w0utert 6y ago
Didn't see one of the IMO biggest downsides of static linking in that list, which is that there is no sane way to prevent symbol clashes if different components of your application need different versions of the same dependency. When u

Totally my experience as well, Windows 2000 really was the only Windows version I actually liked, it had very few faults for its time. Windows 7 probably comes second. What I remember from XP is that it took until SP2 before all the problem

I’m not super familiar with the FreeCAD file format internals, but I assume it implements history using Open CASCADE API’s, in an application specific format. We have some internally developed CAD tooling based on Open CASCADE that uses the

Open CASCADE is the geometry kernel that does all the heavy lifting (all the geometry related operations and mathematics etc). FreeCAD is a primarily a user interface plus Python script bindings around this kernel. CadQuery implements a Pyt

Totally agree, I went through some of the code in his GitHub repo and it’s a joy to read through, making it clear what everything is for, how and why it works, which is rare especially for plain C. I try to comment my code in a similar way,

So if I understand correctly, using this device you can e.g. hook up a HDMI 2.1 device directly to a HDMI 2.1 TV, then pass the audio through an eARC port to the device, which then outputs a normal HDMI signal with full audio support (inclu

That’s funny to read, I took my first flying lesson a few weeks ago and had the exact same problem flying over completely flat terrain. I have some simulator experience which made me look at the instruments way too much, the instructor had

It would not break, but it’s still a logical fallacy to std::move something returned by value, no? Or is there a valid use case here? I strictly use std::move in case of explicit transfer of ownership, and not to try to outsmart the compile

by w0utert 6y ago
Yes that was what I was thinking as well, std::move on the return value of a function that returns some private member by value makes no sense (someone please correct me if I’m mistaken here). In the example in the article, the compiler may

If you do this for short-lived feature branches only, why do you even need to squash merge for this? What I typically do for such things is to have a WIP commit that I amend and force push while working on the feature, then when everything

Makes me wonder, ho does one start to build a serious flight simulator? Is there any publicly available resources about implementation techniques and pitfalls specific to flight simulators, like there are for so many other topics, so you do

One of the theories is that the density of the ACE2 receptor the virus binds to, is somehow correlated with testosterone levels, which is very low for young children, and low for women compared to men. This would provide an explanation why

Not saying that Tesla makes bad cars or that electric vehicles are not the future, but you have to realise that the things you mention are not necessarily things everyone cares about or even appreciates. For many people all Tesla cars are w
