So what happens if the EU and UK don't reach an agreement before the article 50 time limit expires? It doesn't make sense that the UK just gets to do what they like, otherwise they wouldn't need to negotiate at all.

Because the EU could then reject those terms and not having a trade deal would be vastly more damaging to the UK than the EU.

Publish too early and you get people assuming that you're a crank because you haven't done the research yet.

I believe the choice was to spend time on adding C99 support, vs spending more time on C++ support. C++ had more people asking for it, so it got priority over C99.

From what I've read it's not a legal issue, it's a "huge amount of money needed to get thorium reactors to where they need to be" issue. Nobody is really interest in putting up that money because current modern reac

We're getting close to this - you can buy graphics cards that plug into a PCI Express port on a laptop, for example. But the hardware's not quite there yet.

Presumably the "real" auth will be at the end of the project, which means it could still fail. This is also the case with kickstarter projects right now - typically a few % of your pledges fail and you can't collect the money

Yeah, we tried this on our product forums and it didn't really help at all. :(

I'm very curious too! If it takes anything more than a day to get an app review, this tool is going to be pretty useless for us. :( I've submitted an update to our app to external app review, so hopefully I'll have more infor

It's a lot of code to write, but extremely understandable when you come back to read it a year later and wonder "what the heck do the parameters to this function do?"

I assumed the fridge was more about "make sure the microphone can't pick up anything from outside" than blocking radio signals.

Some interesting facts about this vote: * 16 & 17 year olds were allowed to vote in this referendum, although they aren't normally able to vote in British elections. * Turnout was extremely high, 80-90%. * Anyone who lived in Scotl

You should only really use "auto" when the type is clear (like in your example #2). If it's not clear, you should probably specify the type so that it's more obvious what's going on. #1 and 3 are probably fine if x

Other services (like spotify) have tended to have clauses in their licenses saying something like "If you get acquired, the deal is cancelled and you have to renegotiate it" so that the record companies can prevent exactly this fr

What, so you spoof your client so you can get a version that's unusable in your browser because of its poor feature support? That doesn't sound like a great idea.

Maybe it's a US thing, but why does "teenagers starting later" mean that your 5 and 7 year old have to be awake so early?

It's great that he apologized, but I think it shows how crappy things are that such a decision was made in the first place. An outstanding Q4, and yet they were planning to take benefits away from employees? That doesn't seem very

Depends what you mean by "better". UTF-8 generally ends up using fewer bytes to represent the same string than UTF-16, unless you're using certain characters a lot (e.g. for asian languages), so it's a candidate, but it&
