    > I wonder how many other tech folks has the same impression?? I do! I've worked with C, C++, Python, Java, Go, JavaScript, Ruby, and Pascal, but for anything that isn't network-or…

    The target property overrides the global setting, so you can set CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD as the default and then set the target property if you really need a different standard for some…

    Note that the variables in the "Detecting an operating system" section are for detecting the target operating system, not the host (what CMake is running on). If you use a toolchai…

    1. Seeing a doctor about my anxiety issues. 2. Deciding not to pursue a career in software development. I enjoy programming way more as a hobby that I can take a break from wheneve…

    The article said Stack when I posted my comment. Looks like they corrected it shortly after.

    Could they not have required the user to own a copy of Fallout 3 and then extract the needed sound files from the original installation on first launch? Then the copyrighted works …

    Hyper-V is extremely strict about what can access its hypercalls, so you can't do anything from userspace like with KVM and HAX. Hypercalls can only be made from ring 0 and creatin…

    Dillo specifically avoids scripting, so I doubt the internals are well-suited to that sort of integration. You could try extending NetSurf[1], though. It uses Duktape[2] as its Jav…

    I really, really wish Microsoft would open up the Pico Process APIs to third-party driver developers. Right now, WSL is the only driver allowed to install Pico Process callbacks. I…

    I'm surprised the "minihtml" HTML/CSS engine is buried in the release notes. That sounds like an amazing little component and something that would be extremely useful for projects …

    A machine learning paper with actual code? Hah! Not likely.

    I love to hate on Electron when it's used for tiny single-purpose apps. But VS Code is a large and complex project with a focus on extensibility, which I think Electron is perfect …

    This still seems too difficult for the average person who isn't a sysadmin, but still wants to protect their privacy. Python? Virtualenv? Config files? Ugh. My ideal VPN appliance …

    Right, even a good diphone voice needs lots of data. And I noticed they trained it with the existing Google Home voice actress, from whom they must already have many, many hours of…

    No source code, as usual. How difficult would it be to duplicate these results with TensorFlow? Would something like this require more than the building blocks that TF and other to…

    Also for anthropomorphizing atoms. Sulfur seems very grumpy.

    I don't like them either, so you're not alone. Nor do I like comments as compiler directives. Go needs a proper attribute syntax that works with the package system (so attributes d…

    Clang uses "module maps" to turn existing header-based libraries into modules. So, theoretically, your system compiler could include a module map for all of the system headers. I d…
