But I don't have a Microsoft account (only ever used local accounts in Windows 10). How can I ask for all my data which is associated with my installation/license?

They also do this with Google Maps on Android. Disabled Location History sharing with Google? Sorry, we cannot remember the last search term you entered in Google Maps ON THE SAME DEVICE. This is so infuriating

str and String? That naming is horrible. string_view is a much better choice

Engineers at Volkswagen and its other brands (Porsche, Audi, Seat, Skoda) are paid quite well compared to other industries in Germany (only two others come to mind, finance and chemicals). Software engineers can realistically reach up to 80

But musl is linked statically, therefore the image must contain multiple instances of the library. Very impressive that the Alpine image still comes out smaller

Really interested in this as well. Details matter here

The argument against the critics saying WebAssembly would make the web less open was, that you could always disassemble WebAssembly and that said disassembly would be much more readable than for example x86 assembly. So - since a quick rese

It seems the obscure qt.io Downloads page really isn't helping in this regard
159.
by simfoo 9y ago
Qt is LGPL'd, meaning static linkage is possible as long as others are able to relink using other Qt versions. Providing your applications as object files is enough for this, no need to share sources.

Agreed. Works really well on all my Android devices and the performance impact is negligible

>On Android it is even worse, no one is testing with Firefox Mobile (Fennec) - this is WinXP-IE6 all over again. I'm always surprised why this is the case. Firefox Mobile + UBlock Origin works really well and is only very slightly s

Of course Rust is more complex. Lifetimes and the borrow checker are hard to get used to

Which is funny, because I still remember their "every new feature request starts with -100 points and has to prove real benefits before even being considered for the language" speech

Have a look at Conan [ https://www.conan.io/ ] then. It has solved the problem you described and its usability is great

This attitude is why we can't have nice things. The author is obviously making a very conscious choice. Respect that!

Same thing happened to me, after multiple resets I had to create a new account. Also, I was pretty sure I had tried the correct password and it was Microsoft that had forgotten the password/hash.

moc isn't a precompiler - it will not change your code in any way! It merely generates additional code based on your classes containing meta information
170.
by simfoo 10y ago
I never understood the problem with moc. It's an extra step during the build process, yes. But it's quick and very easy to integrate in modern build tools (for example CMake).

The linked blog post about the crazy hacks needed to lessen the impact of the gc on a server got me thinking. Is it possible to implement a non-gc language on top of the CLR? For example could it represent RAII with an imaginary destructor

Do you think Microsoft will listen to us privacy-aware people and add a permanent kill-switch for all cortana/telemetry related traffic? Serious question, because somehow I doubt they will backpedal on this sweet sweet data source. I w

The problem now is, if some app requests access to my contacts, it will not only gain access to them but also the ability to upload them to some shady service. This alone is the reason I will not use Android 6 before they either change this

I hope Microsoft never decides to ditch their compiler and use something existing like Clang. I may have had headaches due to Microsoft incompatibilities before, but having a real alternative (or even three, MinGW still works fine) is great
