While I agree with most of what you say, that one seems wrong: assuming it exists, the default constructor will work when you type > some_big_type foo;

Well, you do get vacuum tubes that operate up to a terahertz - they don't count as solid-state devices, though.

Well, it does go on to say: > This observation, which has a significance of 5.9 standard deviations, corresponding to a background fluctuation probability of 1.7x10^-9, is compatib…

sigh , tell me about it. Writing to info@yc doesn't seem to help either.

That looks nice, thanks! I use stl's mingw collection[1] because of the bundled libraries, but this looks more intersting. [1] http://nuwen.net/mingw.html

I think Fravia+ would have actually liked what you have here - its a really nice search engine.

Late reply, sorry. I never even knew they had the option of an XMPP server. For what it's worth, I find the mail experience to be both reasonable, and pretty much fat-free, which I…

fastmail's non-free service, maybe? I got it a very long time ago, mainly for the .in email address. It's been no-frills, fast, and (mostly) reliable. I'm still not sure I'd recomm…

For what it's worth - and not to distract from your real point - Exponential (or the more general Lyapunov) stability are a better explanation of instability. Stiffness is more a p…

Email threading has worked for longer than I care to remember in mutt, for whatever it's worth :)

Bridge might qualify, depending on how you play it, but otherwise you're right.

If I remember correctly, I (reluctantly) had to switch to t-bird back in the day because it didn't do STARTTLS+IMAP. It was perfect, otherwise. I'm yet to see a faster way to searc…

Wow, there are a lot more EDA programmers on HN than I'd expected, some of whom I even recognise by name. On topic, it's probably easier to embed Lua than Tcl, though you may miss …

Um, no argument either way - I just believe a lump of crystalline carbon can collect dust equally well in one museum as another. More seriously, given that pretty much all of histo…

Roughly, when you're receiving an AM signal, you use the rectifying effect of a diode coupled to a low-pass filter. The idea is that the envelope is all you really need to pass to …

It still exists, and it's still relevant /if/ you're in the situation Dave above describes - and you have sufficient clout to get stlport included in your code. In almost every oth…

That's true. I'd say that time is pretty much the only thing that can heal outrage about such things, though.

I imagine her main gripe would be that the free food was treated as a component of her compensation, and then withdrawn for the perfectly rational (but unrelated) reason of cutting…

"Your projects" does have a rather wide applicability, I guess :) That said, I'm wondering what a /proper/ license for a colour scheme should be. If it's a css file (or even an ema…

Stupid question: wouldn't the ND ("You may not alter, transform, or build upon this work.") part of the license basically mean that you can't use these colour schemes?

Don't forget the high-end FPGA's, too - that's where ARM's licensing gives them a decisive advantage (not least because if you're using one of them to prototype something, you will…
