At least from Rostock to somewhat closer destinations you have both options. There's a bi-hourly IC to Hamburg or Berlin and another bi-hourly RE towards the same destinations. They're not terribly different in terms of travel tim

Rebrickable is awesome. One of my children loves building with instructions and will do relatively little free building with Lego, and Rebrickable makes it very easy to find alternative models (often with questionable stability, though) tha

The way the array is constructed at least leads to holey arrays in V8. Perhaps similar in other implementations. The performance characteristics between different array types may vary significantly as well. Still, the traditional for loop,

In fact, part of the implementation (or at least ideas) were borrowed from TypeScript. Nullability in C# changes depending on the checks around the code (similar to how the type of expressions in ThpeScript can change depending on prior cod

The use cases are different. While MSBuild tasks run during build (and partially when loading a project), typically the IDE is oblivious what happens there. The source generator runs directly inside the compiler infrastructure and thus you

Roslyn, the C#/VB compiler, uses them extensively, but in other code they're indeed quite rare.

I'm sure this font is neither intended for writing code or serial numbers. Proper fonts do exist, but no font is usable in all circumstances.

You don't have to write the method twice. Source generators can only add new code, they cannot take away a method you declared, so it will still be there at runtime when called with non-constant arguments.

The formulae are indeed stored in the same format, regardless of language. For rendering and parsing in the UI they use translated function names and the field separator (commma in English, but semicolon in many other languages because deci

The map on the heatmap is definitely OSM without attribution. I can see a bunch of features I added. That doesn't make me respect them a lot. It's not that hard to use OSM correctly, at least in this context ...

You need a scaffold, which costs. The roof must be able to hold the additional mass (can be problematic in older buildings), you have to remove tiles and attach supports to the rafters and properly close the roof again. Sure, it's quic

I think in the context of C# this is not exactly unexpected since there are various operators that apply conditional execution (and evaluation) to parts of an expression. All of them start with ?, though (? :, ??, ?., ?[], ??=), so except f

I stumbled over this a few times, mostly when cleaning up older code. This basically just means that using the ?. member access no longer dictates what is possible on the right side. Property reads were fine before (returning null if a part

Seems like they ignored the non-square pixel aspect ratio as well for the upscaling, which may have changed face shapes as well.

Help on either project actually flows both ways. If I remember correctly, Wendelstein 7-X provided experience and know-how regarding microwave heating and welding large plasma vessels. In the end they're scientists and engineers and do

Browsers typically say below the styles also which fonts are actually used (there can be multiple, e.g. when substitution is required to render certain characters).

It seems from the other articles as well that they are reviewing the UT99 arsenal, which didn't yet have the lightning gun.

That's a great analogy. For me it is a very similar feeling that I get ripped out of "problem solving mode" into "code review mode" which is often a lot more taxing for me. It also doesn't help reviewing such c

Only for shaping and measuring, if I recall correctly. Rendering is still done by Skia and not DirectWrite.

Considering that cladding/siding is independent of the construction method, it may not even be visible. Even prefabricated buildings made from wood might have plaster outside, just as concrete buildings could be clad with wood.

Wooden building construction for single-family homes is not unusual here (Germany) either, especially for prefabricated buildings. It's cheaper than bricks or premade concrete elements and easier to insulate. From the outside you usual

So we end up in a world 20 years from now where most applications still don't use that. I guess the main problem as described here is the mapping, as argument splitting was just one of the possible things that break (next to argument v
