Is there any reason why something like the following should not work? while (condition) { a(); if (!condition) break; b(); }

Yes, for example this bug affects 'file': https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16825 The code in 'file' tries to parse the given file with every built-in format loader, so there are likel

Here's what the final example from the blog would look like, if you were to directly translate it into C++: http://coliru.stacked-crooked.com/a/265c6ec6fb6751a9 Now, of course, no one would program that way, but I

One use case where Postgres FTS fails spectacularly is when your search has to return results ordered by some field (e.g., timestamp). This is critical for applications that have to return close-to-realtime results due to the queried conten

Or, as I prefer to think of it, the state of a distant object is undetermined with respect to your state (in a superposition of all reachable states since your last interaction) until you actually interact with it, at which point both get r

Likewise, I've witnessed a reversible variant of SHA-1. They must have somehow messed up the break condition because it essentially only did one round.

This decision is very disturbing indeed.

According to the C++11 standard, the compiler may assume that any loop terminates, so unless you mark ring_bell as [[noreturn]], the code will be assumed reachable. Furthermore, when undefined behaviour is invoked anywhere within a program,

I have come to really dislike people who think it's a good idea to define macros such as min, max, major and minor in system headers. * http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd75...

I find DirectWrite to be a step down from GDI in terms of crispness and readability, and I don't think I'm alone. Infinality on Linux can look great on the other hand, if configured properly.

So no one can do a MITM attack and change the SHA1 checksum, OpenPGP Key ID, file lengths and code signing certificate fingerprints as you download package-integrity.html?

I just made a PayPal account just the other day. Now I'm really glad that I used `makepasswd --chars 20`, even though I had to paste the password into the input element's value with Inspect Element.

It also doesn't fit their app store policy at all, particularly in light of the recent takedowns aimed at guides or utilities for PC games in absence of any copyright claims.

Their customer support may be bad, but their developer support is far worse. If your application is ever suspended from Google Play, you will be greeted with a message directing you to an appeal form which lets you enter a maximum of 1000 c

I would't really count time passing as an operation, since other programs are able to run during that time.

And it even has the best time bound you can get for a comparison based sort. Most OS schedulers would use a heap/priority queue internally for timers, which makes sleep sort O(n log n).
