Ah, well I guess I did take it as an example of something that was incompatible. It served well enough as a vehicle to drive the conversation forwards. The iterator invalidation oc…

I think the example is perfectly apt, and I would not know where to start wrapping a std::list/std::vector implementation to pick up on runtime iterator invalidation.

> You design (or choose) the new type such that it actually is compatible with the old type. Yes I agree, in that case sure, but when refactoring the case can arise that a new type…

This refactoring business, I see it going two ways, there are probably more. 1. you refactor, you change the type declaration in one place, auto handles the boring work of replacin…

if you were on Windows you could possibly do something to get this into Audacity: http://reaper.fm/reaplugs/ https://github.com/nbickford/REAPERDenoiser

To clarify: The initial claim was, lxgr: "If you were initially fine with software emulation (i.e. Rosetta 2), as were many small and large software projects for macOS or Unix, you…

On Rosetta 2, from the horses mouth: Rosetta translates all x86_64 instructions, but it doesn't support the execution of some newer instruction sets and processor features, such as…

wait til you find out some people prefer their faculties dulled by a hangover than being fully present and in the moment for their dreary morning-midday routines.

It's not just you, you will find most if not all vendors of external audio devices for Windows will have a tech support page saying you have to hit 'reset defaults' after Windows U…

The wealthy will not solve the supply issue of luxury apartments as they do not want to flood the market, the parent I responded to initially mentions this. Who will add luxury apa…

Why do people sit on empty homes then, in the face of rising supply of luxury homes? The demand side of the equation is unable to finance a purchase. The wealthy can wait until the…

You were content to talk about a hypothetical where there were 10 houses and 12 families. Now you are discontent unless I discuss luxury accommodation in specific property markets …
