the full story is in the language reference, but the short answer is: __radd__ (unless it's more complicated than I realize)

Clever! I like this! I feel a bit jealous that I didn't think of it :) It's not quite as easy as it seems, because these methods are "intrinsics". That is, the pure Java code you see is not always the one that gets us

I feel like there's two sides to this. On one hand, I agree with Zulip: don't make promises you're not sure can keep. On the other, you also shouldn't believe promises if the person making them is obviously not in a po

Thanks for the above. (nice self-restraint in the last paragraph.) Things almost make sense now. Except one problem ... this implies that there are software developers who think to themselves "given a cell phone number, how can I ge

sorry I meant it was an UNSIGNED integer back then

Thanks for explaining. I guess if you ever decide to become a foreign spy, you can point to this as "relevant experience" in THAT job interview. Or something.

How would a boyfriend or lack thereof even come up in an interview? Let alone so often as to be worth practicing such a thing? (I'm single, but I don't remember ever mentioning it in an interview. Though my memory is bad at thi

Why does it need a champion? Suppose some legislator is drunk one night and decides to introduce a bill banning non-competes. Who would vote against it?

Amazing. A real, live, credible proposal for lambdas in ISO standard C.

Ooh nice! I didn't think of that! Since appending to an array is cheap, you can just move-to-end instead of move-to-front, and then iterate in "reverse" order, so from the outside everything seems to Just Work.

I think LRU does NOT work with this trick, because there's no easy way to "move-to-front" in O(1) time. The article mentions Java's LinkedHashMap, which actually can do LRU. But as the name implies, they rely on a linke

Okay now I'm curious: what IDE do you use that makes this a non-issue?

Consider the following two cases: 1. MyClass has 10 private fields, each with a trivial getter and setter. 2. YourClass has 10 private fields, of which 9 have a trivial getter and setter. The last one has a trivial getter but the setter is

I think mh7 did not mean to hard-code intcmp into qsort. The idea is to move the definition of qsort directly into the stdlib.h header file. That way, the compiler can see the definition of qsort and intcmp at the same time. In that case,

You can tweak the definition to take advantage of whatever your language DOES allow. He alludes to this during the Q&A at the end. For instance: two expression are equal if (and only if), for all possible contexts C, you have C[e1] an

In this simple script you can, but eventually you need an loop or something and you realize you're kind of stuck: before_loop; while something: step1; step2; after_loop; Note that after_loop is still inside the loop. Also you can&#x27

Might be worth filing an issue; a glance at the repo suggests that the list is still being actively maintained.

> maybe even win with In a U.S. court? You really think so? If you're right then in my opinion that's proof that the law needs fixing.

With Project Panama, they are finally trying to make calling non-Java code easy.

Kernel will hopefully be ready; user space is another story.

I think foo::args should be a normal struct type, so sizeof(foo::args) would follow the usual rules, just as if someone had manually written struct foo_args{char a; short b; long c; float d; etc...} and then asked for sizeof(foo_args).

This mostly solves the unpacking problem. Thus, there are only two problems left: 1. I need to handcraft the tuple type myself, and make sure it matches the function declaration. (In other words, I don't want to manually write tuple&

The title is slightly click-bait-y: C++20 doesn't have default parameters. It talks about how to fake it with structs. It's a pretty convincing fake, but it has one problem: the person who wrote the function needs to have written

Why so sure? Are you saying this program probably was legal after all and this court made a mistake?
