And they even made the C++ version more verbose than it should have been. Most people would write: class Person { int age = 0; }; I wish rust would make default struct field values…

MS and Apple have the same thing, they're just less successful. Just a browser and an OS was previously seen as antitrust (and it looks like MS is being anti-competitive in this sp…

A company owning a web browser isn't the problem. A company owning a web browser, OS and search engine shouldn't be a problem either. I don't know why the remedy can't actually add…

Can't store tabs or newlines, odd choice.

If you could pipe the ripgrep output into an editor, make changes, and have them applied, that would be great. Once you get all the text you want to change in one buffer, it should…

The author talks as if this isn't documented... https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/privacy/whitepaper.htm... > Additionally, a subset of low entropy variations are included in n…

Author doesn't actually know what this information is being used for. Sure there can be a discussion about whether this information should be recorded at all (say, to determine if …

Thanks, the video link in the pdf doesn't work, but the one here does: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B9SX5ANPyMzTNWgtMzdq...

Does it say they can't nag users relentlessly until they click 'accept'?

Lack of MRU tab switching and preview tabs are two reasons I haven't switched from sublime. Glad they are listening to requests.

> [](a,b){ ... } Is valid if a and b are types.

No high ranking USG official should be using insecure communication channels, as it will inevitably lead to leaks that could damage the state (secret information). What Clinton did…

Maybe someone can chime in on why the standard library's std::function can't be implemented as efficiently as this library purportedly is.

> It's strongly typed, with a bewildering variety of types to keep straight. More errors. Odd complaint, especially to be levied against C.

This article seems to assume that problems in P are computable no matter the size. If it is shown NP=P, but the best algorithm we have is O(n^100), we still don't have a computer t…

Too many times I've 'solved' a Project Euler problem like this: 1. Write a program to solve the problem inefficiently. 2. Look up the sequence F(1), F(2), F(3) ... at oeis.org

This is one of the trouble spots I have with Go. Say I have 3 members that must be set, and 5 optional members. Go's solution is to make the 3 critical members private so that some…

'Use tagged literals for struct initializations'... I'd rather the compiler help me make sure i've updated all uses appropriately when I add a new field.

Go's success has me confused. My team enjoys using Go, but to me it feels like i'm a prisoner. The designer's slavishly followed opinions are laser focused on reducing variation ac…

Something i've been using more lately is Ctrl-R + Register. Great for inserting text in command mode. For instance, you can do this to insert your recorded macro (if it's in regist…

It's 7500/month for 5 days/week.

This is the #1 problem I have moving from SVN to Git. With SVN, everything is just in one repo. I can atomically commit to multiple related projects. If i split up projects into in…
