That's a shell built-in, though. So how command-line arguments are handled by processes and the OS doesn't really apply here.

And it also won't work between member declarations of a class. Basically it only works where statements are legal.

On Windows, unless you really, really, really have to support Windows 9x/ME you ignore the A functions and exclusively use the W variants. You then also don't need the macro magic to switch, as your code doesn't have to wor

Another one that fits that description would be Martin Molin of Wintergatan, who's currently on a multi-year quest to build a concert-suitable programmable marble music instrument. He's been detailing the build and concept process

Some software also presents that in the settings as the choice between "native notifications, which don't have as many features" and "custom notifications, which have all bells and whistles". And the default of cour

I got the feeling that a lot of those »I have to do this in a single regex« questions come from places where a single regex is basically the only API you have available. Something like form input validation where the framework provides a ha

I was under the impression that cases where it would matter are typically code that wouldn't usually be written. E.g. C# and Java also can solve SAT as part of overload resolution with generic types and it's an interesting peculia

As can be seen here, GitHub renders Asciidoc just fine: https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor.js

Well, it's still being used. Widely. Seems to be a quite lucrative niche as well, if you happen to know the language.

That one speaks PostScript? I though most inkjet printers relied heavily on drivers to supply the next line to print and have no capacity (compute or memory) to rasterize a complete page and for that reason don't need PostScript either

Well, there are techniques. One of the hackier ones is probably the one described here: https://fgiesen.wordpress.com/2012/04/08/metaprogramming-for...

The same as it deals with common code paths: What can't be guaranteed to never be called, it left in. E.g. you can remove functions in a module that are never imported anywhere else and never called, rather easily. You can also remove

Most of those are manageable or can be disabled, but it can become annoying: - Start Menu showing suggested apps (the infamous Candy Crush) - Task bar shown weather and news - Lock screen sometimes showing ads - Sometimes, with updates, new

Just out of curiosity, how quest-less is your vicinity? Because for the village I live in there's almost nothing left by now and I had to resort to micro-mapping street lights, hedges, fences, walls, trees, entrances, building/roo

It doesn't seem like it, no. The sheer number of custom UI things (basically a well-designed custom UI for each and every question that can be answered) is probably the most challenging aspect to redo on another platform. And that&#x27

As far as I understand it, it's all the same concept and the difference is mainly where the scheduler is. Raymond Chen also notes that, while an interesting thing to have in the OS in 1996, they aren't really used anymore. And unl

For me that actually is one thing I really love about OneNote and hate about everything that tries forcing my notes from something paper-like into something text-file-like because that's just not how I take notes. I tend to scribble in

The same happens in OSM, to which this seems to be very similar, both in name and on a technical level.

If I remember correctly that depends a lot on the interpretation of the word linking in the GPL. A lot of the license language only works reliably for C code and expectations around it, and things tend to break down in more dynamic language

It also neglects to filter for areas and renders them as if they were a road loop.

Thermal management would be a bit hard for that, so I'd guess no. Apart from that there's no real benefit to having that there. I would assume there is not that much computation requirement that has to happen in space that isn&#x2

In German, ä would never be replaced by a (if all you have is ASCII the proper replacement is ae), except by foreigners who assume that diacritics don't matter.

Yeah, that's what the normalization forms are for. But still, almost no question how to do things in Unicode can be answered in a single sentence without disregarding 99 % of the complexity.

I've done that, but good luck joining a channel and writing a message before you have to answer your first PING and get disconnected again because you didn't respond in time.

Iterating over characters is not that much more useful than iterating over code units, actually (the only sensible use cases I can think of right now are things you should never really have to worry about implementing at the application lev

Does the actual machine code doing computations really differ that much based on the OS? I'd guess the differences are just that you call different libraries and maybe a different calling convention, but nothing that would impact code
