> I wonder how many other tech folks has the same impression?? I do! I've worked with C, C++, Python, Java, Go, JavaScript, Ruby, and Pascal, but for anything that isn't network-oriented or a simple CLI tool, I always reach for

The target property overrides the global setting, so you can set CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD as the default and then set the target property if you really need a different standard for some reason. And if you have a whole sub-project that needs a sp

Note that the variables in the "Detecting an operating system" section are for detecting the target operating system, not the host (what CMake is running on). If you use a toolchain file to cross-compile from Linux to Windows, f

1. Seeing a doctor about my anxiety issues. 2. Deciding not to pursue a career in software development. I enjoy programming way more as a hobby that I can take a break from whenever I want.

The article said Stack when I posted my comment. Looks like they corrected it shortly after.

The article states it's called "Azure Stack OS."

Correct. WebRTC is just a specification for an API on top of SRTP+ICE+SCTP.

Could they not have required the user to own a copy of Fallout 3 and then extract the needed sound files from the original installation on first launch? Then the copyrighted works wouldn't need to be distributed with the mod itself.

Hyper-V is extremely strict about what can access its hypercalls, so you can't do anything from userspace like with KVM and HAX. Hypercalls can only be made from ring 0 and creating domains can only be done from the root domain.

Dillo specifically avoids scripting, so I doubt the internals are well-suited to that sort of integration. You could try extending NetSurf[1], though. It uses Duktape[2] as its Javascript engine and its API is pretty similar to Lua's.

I really, really wish Microsoft would open up the Pico Process APIs to third-party driver developers. Right now, WSL is the only driver allowed to install Pico Process callbacks. It would be cool to implement a Darwin layer or a Classic Xbo

I'm surprised the "minihtml" HTML/CSS engine is buried in the release notes. That sounds like an amazing little component and something that would be extremely useful for projects that don't want to embed an entire

A machine learning paper with actual code? Hah! Not likely.

I love to hate on Electron when it's used for tiny single-purpose apps. But VS Code is a large and complex project with a focus on extensibility, which I think Electron is perfect for.

This still seems too difficult for the average person who isn't a sysadmin, but still wants to protect their privacy. Python? Virtualenv? Config files? Ugh. My ideal VPN appliance would be a minimal Busybox-based disk image that update

Right, even a good diphone voice needs lots of data. And I noticed they trained it with the existing Google Home voice actress, from whom they must already have many, many hours of recordings. I was mostly asking about the model itself; whe

No source code, as usual. How difficult would it be to duplicate these results with TensorFlow? Would something like this require more than the building blocks that TF and other toolkits provide? I have zero experience with machine learning

Also for anthropomorphizing atoms. Sulfur seems very grumpy.

I don't like them either, so you're not alone. Nor do I like comments as compiler directives. Go needs a proper attribute syntax that works with the package system (so attributes don't collide) and can be applied to everythin

Clang uses "module maps" to turn existing header-based libraries into modules. So, theoretically, your system compiler could include a module map for all of the system headers. I don't know if module maps are going to be part

I don't know the details either, but honestly, I'm amazed that Google hasn't just thrown Linux out and built a microkernel with a Linux-compatible syscall API. That way there's a single binary that only cares about stand

That's pretty common among TTS services and engines. Most people want a female voice for their personal assistant/ebook reader/whatever, so the male voices don't seem to get as much tuning. As someone who happens to pref

One thing I wish more services like this offered is non-speech sounds. CereVoice, for example, lets you insert laughs, coughs, sighs, etc and it can really enhance the output in some cases. Google's WaveNet also manages to simulate the

The link to the Polly service console is broken. Polly doesn't even show up in the list of services on my AWS account.

Is the code for launching Windows containers open source yet? I'm not familiar with the Docker codebase, but a quick search didn't turn up anything except configuration-related stuff. I'm especially interested in how Hyper-V

I loved the Palm Pre's form factor. The size, the sliding hardware keyboard, the way it felt like I was holding a smooth stone in my hand. It's probably the best phone I've ever owned, hardware-wise.

I'm pretty sure that part was sarcasm.

Yeah, I found POI very cringey for the most part. Although I thought the character speaking for the machine was a fun development. They just took the concept too far by introducing the child later on.

I don't think it's intended to be a step-by-step guide. More a set of notes in case the author or someone else wants to work on fixing compatibility issues later.
