- z_openThe assign operator rebinding is yet another thing that behaves slightly different from the rest of the language.
- Lots of bad advice. Using unsigned for normal integers when you know they will be positive does worse for optimization, not better. Also for (;;) {} is convention because older compilers would give warnings with while (1)
I stopped reading there.
- kill Unicode. Done with this after these 25 byte single characters.
- I wish I could find the pull request associated with that issue.
- Tried it and realized it was gimped compared to the Linux tools it was trying to emulate. Monopolies will always be playing catchup with basic functionalities people have done for free because they make sense.
- printing is never the appropriate tool. You can make your debugger print something when that line of code is reached anyway and automatically continue if you want. So what's the point of pritntf? It's just less information and features.
- Not this article again. His opinions on include files don't make sense anymore. Modern compilers keep track of what includes are necessary to reprocess.
- What the hell do the antitrust people in the US do? Google should have been chopped to bits a decade ago and Microsoft buying Github is just nonsense. Way too much potential for abuse all around.
- They're not acting like idiots though?
And they're trying to raise awareness that Microsoft helps Israel surveil and attack Palestinians, not raise awareness that there is a war going on.
Your comment is a typical one that protests should be less disruptive, but only disruptive protests have historically been effective.
- Even if we ignore solutions other languages have come up with, it's even worse that they landed on // for the syntax given that it's apparently used the same way for real comments.
- > Raw or multiline strings are spelled like this:
This syntax seems fairly insane to me.const still_raw = \\const raw = \\ \\Roses are red \\ \\ Violets are blue, \\ \\Sugar is sweet \\ \\ And so are you. \\ \\ \\; \\ ; - I had the same issue. I went back to the calendar and it said I got 100% of the words. So I guess it's not always possible and I spent all that time trying for no reason.
- Not a great answer but finish them broken. If they're just for me and/or my company, document when they fail and be done with it. If it's documented then it's not a bug
- He didn't mention the worst pattern, the visitor pattern, which has extremely few use cases.
- Are all major programming languages going to come from corporations in web 2.0?
- printf("x = %6d\ny = %.8E\n", x, y) ;
What's the equivalent lisp?
- Yeah I have always wondered about the success rate for self help books. Seems like the people who need it have an inherent problem using it.
