I thought the same but nowhere near as eloquently.

I couldn't agree with this post more. I found myself replacing the configuration parsing code in a C++ project that was littered with exactly the validation issues described, and converted it to that which the author advocates. The res

A bit late but for what it's worth I'm very familiar with `git stash` and use it all the time, and it's not clear how this helps my situation of aiming for one command and accidentally doing a very similar one but one which d

Agreed. I consider myself pretty competent at git (consistently helping out the rest of my team of ~15 people with it) and even then I've shot myself in the foot using `git checkout --` instead of `git reset` before to unstage a file,

I had several close friends studying for their own Masters degrees in subdesciplines of Anthropolgy and History of Art, and I'm not aware of them having had different experiences either, so my current best guess is down to it perhaps b

I went to a state school and state sixth form, and my experience definitely deviates from that presented in the article and some other comments here. I think the part of the article which focuses on more personalised teaching rings the most

I can't tell whether I'm missing something: how would IPv6 obsolete their work?

I don't see why it defeats the purpose at all. You get to have your one-character-width indentation, while other devs will being able view it with more indentation width and spend less time dispairing at issues of readability for them.

Using the same authentication algorithm doesn't seem like a particularly big price to pay, assuming they started with a sensible one. And there's nothing stopping one from making it support the old style but add a more up-to-date

Indeed... in Java this is reasonably clear, but I've never found I have a problem in C++. I suppose if you're inheriting from your template argument and you template on an int? Seems awfully contrived and useless though.

Well there's also the income tax and possibly VAT.

Something IO-bottlenecked maybe?

Seems like a calculator is a good example of a program which we would write even though it is entirely unsurprising; even if we needed nothing else on a computer we might invent it still? It seems to me that we create computer programs not

For me at least it warns me very blatantly and I have to asked to go to an insecure site if it's HTTP only. Perhaps we don't have the same configuration.

Would(n't) just having your own domain and pointing it at an email server one doesn't directly manage work?

It goes on to talk about its usage of "Arabic science" at the beginning of the second section. "A preliminary caution must be taken about both parts of the term “Arabic science.” This is, first, because the scientists discuss

Category Theory by Steve Awodey is great, but in my opinion only for a graduate mathematician wanting to do more mathematics and understand category theory in an abstract sense. Preferably one will have done some algebraic topology when rea

As someone that really likes C++ templates (no other language seems to come close in power for such a compile-time typed system), I'm particularly looking forward to concepts, and I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that they will

I second using LSP servers. It's an absolute treat having an editor which is completely independent from the backend intellisense, which I can add my own LSP servers for however I choose.

For dealing with multiple files at once, I would recommend using buffers and ideally a fuzzy finder, such as fzf. I would almost advise removing nerdtree while you get used to using buffers, as it probably shouldn't be used for a lot o
