You could also ask the question for "why do founders even bother with startups", and you'll get the exact same answer. It seems selfish that they then expect their employees to work for them, not for money, but rather for lov

C++ modules aren't influenced by macros on import, nor do they export any macros, so I'm curious what the problem is?

How can that be true? Inside the event horizon, there is only one direction: down. If light cannot escape, how can it happily bounce around, reflect on something, then reach your eyes? How could signals from your feet (say) even reach your

Nice one... I seem to remember MSVC 5 having a switch that made all functions virtual - or am I confused with another compiler?

Same here. Three days of absolute hell. Even a single blue led was too much to bear. And like you I now need reading glasses, but I don't really care: I can see well enough in the distance, I'm not visually crippled throughout the

If you'll inspect the names of the posters, you will quickly realize that it was not _my_ claim. I'm also not quite certain how a list of centuries-old atrocities serves as an 'evidence-based counter' to the claim that i

And that makes it ok to commit warcrimes? Under that reasoning, which really only comes down to "because it is needed", anything is allowed. Including everything Israel does, because to them, it's also needed. And here's

That list is totally not cherry picked to serve a very specific agenda (/s). Actual safety for regular citizens is affected by events that are occurring today (instead of decades ago), as the result of actions by individuals (rather th

I, once again, disagree with the premise that UB is a necessary precondition for optimisation, or that it exists to allow for optimisation. You do not need UB to unroll a loop, inline a function, lift an object or computation out of a loop,

AmigaOS only used D0 and D1 for non-ptr values, and A0 and A1 for pointer values. Everything else was spilled to the stack.

Maybe that attitude works in a big company, but it won't fly in a smaller one. I'm a software engineer and I write plenty of code, but I also help out with interviews, packing, sales demos and proposals, customer support, general

I wonder if the order was to "destroy that specific satellite", or if this is merely a consequence of the overall reduction in the NASA budget. The first would be scandalous, the second just clickbait.
