Theme author here! I designed those for a few of my C++ programs years ago, back before FLTK had high-DPI support. (I wasn't involved with porting them to fltk-rs, but I'm glad FLT…

With C++17's compile-time conditionals, plus good old C preprocessor macros, you could do this: #define MATCH_VARIANT(x) [](auto& x) #define CASE_VARIANT(x, T) constexpr (std::is_s…

As the paper's abstract states, "Quadratic cost uniquely makes the marginal cost proportional to votes purchased". The full paper shows their proof and the assumptions behind it, s…

If merely 100 less-wealthy voters out of the whole population couldn't coordinate to buy a few extra votes—and they wouldn't even have to explicitly communicate, it would just take…

Sounds like the system would be doing its job in that case.

That translates fairly well into Python, with its set type and list/set/dict comprehensions. def setrange(first, next, last): return set(range(first, last+1, next-first)) fizz = se…

Effectively legal? It is legal. I can privately crawl the web for all references to "John Doe", "johndoe.com", "/u/johndoe28", etc, and save them, because it's all content that Joh…

TempleOS already does this. ("This" being "no virtual addresses".)

If you can rely on the developer to use gotos in clear patterns like that, then great. But if there is a recognizable pattern, it's an opportunity for the language to provide an al…

That's a false dichotomy, especially since they're getting more flak for deleting the controversial photo than they would have for removing it. It's pretty easy to distinguish betw…

But Ctrl is easier to figure out from context, since it's a multi-character Googlable symbol that's even printed on the key.

That cursor bug has bothered me on Xubuntu 16.04. I didn't realize how old it was. Is there a workaround besides "awkwardly save your work and restart using the keyboard and an inv…
