    I think it's a safe assumption that most Netflix subscribers want to watch Netflix on their TV with ease. My grandpa has a Netflix account. If he wants to buy a tv that can play Ne…

    C++ templates do have "protocols," they just aren't necessary. The result is that the perpetrator of a template error is ambiguous. check out type traits: http://en.cppreference.co…

    reinterpret_cast ?! that's implementation-defined. not to mention type-aliasing which is undefined behavior. what you want is: template typename std::enable_if ::value, T>::type ge…

    It's not a false contradiction (dichotomy?). In general, non-standard modifications can break the default configuration, even in your hotplug example. If they can break the default…
