Complex numbers, for example. Also, C preprocessor expands macros differently on MSVC.

I hope it would work with wine. Then cross compiling Win64 binaries from Linux would become convenient without requiring spinning up a Windows VM.

It is not 4 times, it is 16 times. Your 1TB storages would become 64GB.

The antivirus program forced to be installed by my company does not allow .odin file to exist, as there is a ransomware which encrypts files into *.odin. Of course, git cloning the ALE plugin (linter + languageserver) for VIM also fails as

To be fair, MSVC has the most C99 stuffs. What is mainly missing for porting (my) programs is the native complex number. But we have Intel compiler for free on Windows, which is fully compatible with the C/C++ standard and produces fas

It is a pitty that - GCC switched from C to C++ - CUDA switched from C to C++ But I can understand the decision, and at that time , C++ frontend features and libs were a little bit less horrible.

Agree that decisions/designs are important. However, not everything can be well designed at the beginning. Skills of editing will affect efficiency, especially in a try-and-error loop of new ideas/approaches, where only a rough de

Unfortunately, the rendering of fakebold (especially if the factor is not 2) depends on PDF readers and printers. Some PDF programs handle it well, some fix the factor at 2, some do not implement it at all.

Well, these are not the hardcore math, they are just puzzles and games.

The requirements and constraints depend on the product. For example, the geometry of your product to accommodate the antenna is not always the same; the (internal and external) environment of the case is also different; there may be require

I totally agree. Just using a POSIX shell to concatenate header/footer and include the required CSS file, a simple static blog generator can be easily made. (That is what I did with mine.) No Markdown, no Perl/Python/Ruby, al

Another issue is cross-compiling. External code generation requires (cross) execution of the (cross) compiled binary program.

Also fast to compile!

I'd like to see the feature of preventing the OS from sleeping before downloading has been finished.

The function declaration in the header file of the library can carry the required 'restrict'. It works for c++ invokers too, as most c++ compilers also support and check the __restrict__ for old plain pointer types.

I am using Conda to build binary modules for different Python versions. As user of the modules, venv is sufficient.

Yes! I use mutt for searching, tagging, thread operations (splitting,appending etc.), bouncing, attaching other mails, deleting attachments, openpgp (personal), smime (at work), and it works with IMAP out of the box. I am also able to integ

One typical scenario is to embed a CSV (or whatever it is called) into another one.

This looks like just a little bit advanced trivial optimizations for reducing size of high gain antennae. Usually I expect to find such articles in IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation. What is the reason that it appears on Natu

Sioyek has nice features, however, it was quite buggy. Fixing bugs and writing tests may take a lot of efforts.

No one in the comments mentioned OpenACC or OpenMP offloading, which is the main reason for me to start new projects in C++ (or even in C/Fortran for simplicity).

I thought Skyrim was a fantasy game, until I visited the catacomb on the countryside of Rom. It was more impressive than Palatino.

For the scanned documents, I used to compressing them with jbig2 as one of the post-processing steps. Representing the pages as big images not only takes more space to store/archive, but also increases IO-time for loading the documents

debug.exe did not like non-DOS EOL, which caused some problems when copying texts. If I remembered correctly, debug was only capable of writing 64kB (mono-segment) data? Though one can always create an in-RAM program inside debug to output

My mind automatically interpreted that spelling as "unstable". It turned out that "unusable" matches the context better.
