that actually wasn't its intended use; that's a side effect. The original intended use came from Effective C++ by Scott Meyers: "Prefer non-member non-friend functions to member functions.". It was meant to make that as…
The D parts of the compiler were released under the GPL from almost the beginning, since 2002. By 2004, a full open source compiler - what we now call gdc, officially part of gcc - was released using this GPL code. D…
Just a personal anecdote, Walter Bright's Digital Mars C++ compiler also had the contracts (D started life almost literally as recycled code from Mr. Bright's other compilers - he wrote a native Java compiler, a…
lol "11%" i guess sounds a lot bigger than "two cents".
I work from home with a young child. I think if I put a sign up, it'd just prompt more questions from her lol
Use the ascii bell character "\a" and turn off the "visual bell" or whatever options in the terminal (I hate those things) so you can actually hear it beep and find joy.
so does modern. so the same author who hates the term modern uses neo - synonomous with modern for all practical purposes - vim and mutt. why is that? might those reasons also apply to other "modern" things?
What I find offensive about this post is using "neo"vim and neomutt. what, was original AgentSmithMutt and TrinityVim not good enough? ...Is it because they're old? Well anyway, I mostly agree with this post. Another…
The recent push to Wayland in 2024 is an interesting choice, given how productive and usable X11 is.
I'd buy that for a dollar!

If you're including TCP ACKs as part of the "chatty"/"required round trips" of a higher level protocol, that's bad new for a lot of things. (Which, granted, is why they made those QUIC protocols etc., but still, it…

100% false. Literally nothing you said here is true.
