There doesn't appear to have been an official release of the compiler since 8.57, announced on August 8, 2013.

https://forum.dlang.org/group/c++.announce

I can't find anything about what changed between 8.52 and 8.57. But in 8.52, there wasn't even support for C++03, which the DMC site self-reports:

https://digitalmars.com/ctg/CPP0x-Language-Implementation.ht...

cppreference maintains a compiler support grid for features in the C++11 and later standards, which includes DMC 8.52 and mentions a small number of supported features.

http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/compiler_support

Here's a post on the DMC forum from 2015 which seems to agree that C++11 support is generally not there.

Safer yes (pointers were less ubiquitous and much safer) and it had other type-safety features like subranges (~refinement types), sets, type-safe enums (though not proper sum types), …

It had a raft of issues though, chiefly a lack of dynamically sized arrays and strings ("pascal strings" combine a static maximum size of no more than 255 with a single-byte actual-length prefix, IIRC all on the stack) or rudimentary dependent typing making generic processing of these extremely difficult[0], no ability to break (out of loops) or early-return, undefined order of evaluation of boolean expressions (and/or), … Kernighan actually wrote an entire "Why Pascal is Not My Favorite Programming Language" essay in '81

More modern evolution have related/fixed some of these since, not necessarily in great ways (freepascal's "String" can use one of 3 different string implementations depending on compiler settings & active pragmas[1], and that's a small subsets of the actual stable of string implementation available)

[0] outside of builtins (which weren't limited to the language's "user" semantics much like Go today) you'd need an implementation for each static length of array/string

Worth pointing out that 90% of cases of Raynaud’s occur in women. My wife has it and wears fingerless gloves at her computer in the winter.
I don't think any of the extensions actually provides the type of auto-tuning / balancing you're asking for, actually. For example pg_partman helps with setting up some partitioning schemes (by time, by ID), but does not rebalance it later (e.g. to split a hot or unexpectedly large partition). It probably provides more convenient interface to do that, but it's still up to the DBA to do it.

I'm sure this is one of the things people on pgsql-hackers will be talking about, but I wouldn't hold my breath for it to get into PG12. I do expect this to emerge in an extension first, and then getting the most useful bits into core (either in the form of built-in features, or hooks allowing extensions to be smarter).
Only if you post them to an application portal, a third party recruiter, or job aggregation sites.

Usually you’ll still need some type of written job description for a candidate to review, and it should be concise & genuinely informative.

But you should choose which candidates to share it with (e.g. on community sites, at conference recruiting fair booths, or by email sent from a referral).

I didn’t mean to imply writing a job ad for purposes of widely distributing it— but I totally see that my choice of the word “ad” was a mistake. Should just be some type of infrequently shared written job summary.

No it wasn't. In fact most Mac apps in the 80's after 1984 were written in C. All three of ours from 85 - 94 were in C. We were early adopters of LightspeedC and then later Corewarrior. MPW was a waste of time.
1527 is not at all a bad starting point--the year Ferdinand I became king of Croatia, later to rule as Holy Roman Emperor and contesting the Ottoman Empire, who at that time began their great advance into Europe.

Pretty much as a rule, you will find Emacs users with wrapped wrists. When you point out that editor of choice might be the cause, you will hear all kinds of explanations and excuses. They are also biggest market for Kinesis and other ergonomic products.

As the other commenter said the move from ADSL to "fibre" meant that rather than being copper from your house to the exchange it's now copper from your house to the cabinet on a street nearby (hopefully) and fibre from there back to the exchange. The "last mile" of copper is now a lot, lot, shorter which is how they're able to run the faster speeds over it. Sure FTTC is not FTTP but it's dramatic improvement over ADSL/2

I'm the same way. Follow a similar sounding diet. My total cholesterol is high, but the ratios are considered very healthy and my trigs are extremely low. From my research cholesterol is still an unknown and everyone has an opinion. It's hard to believe too much of the foods that we are supposed to eat (natural, meat, eggs, veggies, ...) can harm us to such an extent to actually become worried and obsessive about it.

Yup, I remember those very well. The course, IIRC, covered both assembler and C. Teaching myself 6502 assembler back in my high school/junior college days helped me a great deal, even though the 6502 was vastly more limited.

I later did some 8086 assembler in my first job as well, mainly some routines for testing a QIC tape drive.

npm caching has been heavily reworked between 3x and 5x and may well end up resolving the problem they are having in the first place.

Suggest they give this a try as a first port of call. After that it's worth figuring out if the dependency tree is purely massive and you're fetching thousands of packages per install, or if its the NPM service responding slowly, in which case a local proxy in your business may well help here; I'd recommend https://www.verdaccio.org/

It's not the app they backup. It's the data inside the apps. The restore process redownloads the apps and restores the data inside the app.

Each app has three kinds of storage:

- files that should be copied to iCloud.

- files that should be permanently stored on the device

- temporary files that can be deleted by the OS to clear space.

The developer decides which types of files should have which retention policy.

iCloud only backs up the first kinds of files per app.

> What's the point?

>> I'm not a crypto-apologist

> This doesn't gain anything over existing legal contracts.

>> I think this interface might actually be clearer for some people who are financially uneducated, as it expresses their ownership percentage, debt obligations, and potential secured borrowing options in one go. Whilst a lot of it could be done without the crypto side of things if everything happens with the same bank/group of people, with buying and selling assets, you're working on trust with a bunch of different organisations and people, the ledger aspect could help with this.

I'm not arguing for it, merely point out the potential use case people would push for, and if it were to be pushed, I outlined why I think it could beat out existing legal contracts.

Would appreciate a rebuttal to my points.

I think that better explains the broad span of time. Then again, if you were writing for an audience 1300 years in the future with little to no genuine knowledge of our time period (other than popular myth and oral tradition) that probably wouldn't be a bad year to start with, since that's not terribly long after major explorations to the West from Europe (Columbus "discovered" the Bahamas around 1492).

Every home I have lived in for the past 10 years or so has had Virgin fibre to the home. BT don't have the monopoly at all, they just have poor infrastructure and are the defacto that most people choose. Our unit didn't have a direct fibre connection when we took the lease, we rang Virgin and they used infill money to lay a fibre cable to all the units on the trading estate at no cost to us other than the initial £20 set up fee.

Perhaps I am very lucky and the North East has good internet but my experience has not been bad at all.

I used to hate (the lack of elegance of) JS but I got used. After a lot of dabbling, I'm still between React and Vue. While I prefer Vue, all jobs ask for React. Framework marketability seems to be crucial when/while you perceive yourself as below average.

Python's lambda is unchanged, and it is still included.

I have the impression that Guido regrets adding it because of the language-design-aesthetic wart - the recurring "why is it called lambda when it can only define single-expression functions?" "you can just use def in the scope just before use, if you need statements" "but then it's not anonymous!" "just use a temp name" dialog loop.
My team and I are the folks that have been fighting to make exactly this happen in DoD for years. We provide web hosting for the DoD Public Affairs community; we host 785 of DoD's top websites including defense.gov, af.mil, marines.mil, navy.mil, etc. For a deeper understanding of the issue, I have written a few blog posts about this to inform my stakeholders (links below).

Delivering public DoD websites using commercially-signed certificates was nearly impossible until January of this year when DoD CIO signed a memo titled, "Commercial Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) Certificates on Public-Facing Unclassified Web Servers." That memo enabled us to use commercial DV certificates to deliver public-facing .mil websites and will save the taxpayer millions of dollars. The day we got that memo was a very good day; we've been trying to get this change made for literally more than 10 years.

My team and I are passionate about our work, and we refuse to be another typical DoD information system that's down all the time, impossible to use, and only works on some archaic version of IE. The truly frustrating part of this is that we're already doing exactly what the Senator is asking, but I have no way to let him know. Yay bureaucracy.

Your moral argument assumes we can undo thousands upon thousands of years of selective breeding. We can't.

I've raised chickens since I was a kid. We kept males and females. When the chickens stopped laying, we ate them too.

This idea that something "isn't natural" so it's wrong is ridiculous. Human technology has drastically altered the planet and we need to focus on how to work in it as opposed to fantasizing about how nice it would be if we could go back to the stone age.

So by all means, be vegan. Refuse to consume farm animals. 99.9% of the world will not. Your efforts are drowned out. Hopefully the moral superiority you gain will be an acceptable consolation prize.
Part of effectively managing geographically-scaled companies is figuring out how to grant sufficient autonomy to local offices. There's a constant tug-of-war between, on the one hand, a desire to establish standards so as to protect the brand, and promote a consistent experience for customers across locations - and on the other hand, providing autonomy to local offices so that they can provide personalized service, i.e. the opposite of the "faceless corporate drone" archetype, because otherwise you're hurting the very brand you're trying to protect.

If your employees feel like they're slaves to meaningless head-office regulations, your policy is probably unbalanced.

Even leaving aside the other myriad economic benefits of the subway and the fact that your numbers are off even by the standard of fuzzy back-of-the-math envelope (you should consider tourists and commuters who live outside of the city but work in the city, which will balloon that number significantly), $5000 a head isn't all that much. At $2.75 a ride (and the price goes up every few years), that's roughly 1,800 rides, which if a rider rides twice a day every day (fairly common for New Yorkers) means that $5000 will be recouped in two and a half years.

I think you're right. I spoke to the guys at Plusnet and they said it was fibre to the cabinet and no matter what package I picked it was copper to my house. With that in mind, I thought they were effectively limiting your bandwidth at the cabinet based on your package.

> Average download speeds of 36Mb† or 66Mb† for Fibre (FTTC) enabled areas depending on the package you choose
> Average download speeds of 10MbΦ for ADSL2+ enabled areas

Different senses of "stack". It's inevitable that there will be multiple technologies involved in the running of your code, which will involve multiple programming languages, and you will need to understand the behaviour of those technologies (though less and less as they mature - I wouldn't be surprised if it were possible to debug a compile-to-js language without understanding JS these days). But that's not the same thing as being able to program in those languages.
There are plenty of other operating systems and devices which allow for users to make the choice. For example, I know many people myself included who make the choice to keep their android device with no password at all.

Depends. The diffuse direct lighting from a point light only requires one ray, same as with rasterization. Diffuse bounce lighting may need more rays. Area lights may need more rays.

Since both of those things are lower frequency signals, they often don’t need to be re-computed independently for every pixel, so people have various algorithms and caching schemes that drastically reduce the number of rays needed. All of these names do somewhat similar kinds of caching of bounce lighting: photon mapping, irradiance caching, light maps, light baking. Additionally, there are tricks to get decent estimates of shadows from area lights in fewer samples. The demo-scene ray marching guys usually do a great job with one ray (not ray traced, but compatible with ray tracing and very fast.)

Sometimes though, people do use an unreasonable number of rays to render global illumination, area lights & diffuse lighting.

Also, to consider India or China as single countries, when they have a vast array of sub-countries/cultures within them, is to say the least, not an ideal situation. India, China, US are "super" countries with wide geographical, cultural and other differences within the countries.

The full extent of the plot is unclear, but that there was some kind of plot is certain. Many financial and business leaders of the time were rumored to be fascists like Lindbergh.[1]

Of course, if you compare Butler's handler to the strange cast of characters in the history of widely-known American political plots (Watergate, Iran-Contra, etc.), truth is often stranger than fiction.

[1] William Dodd, the U.S. Ambassador to Germany, in a letter to FDR (from the same link above):

"A clique of U.S. industrialists is hell-bent to bring a fascist state to supplant our democratic government and is working closely with the fascist regime in Germany and Italy. I have had plenty of opportunity in my post in Berlin to witness how close some of our American ruling families are to the Nazi regime. ... A prominent executive of one of the largest corporations, told me point blank that he would be ready to take definite action to bring fascism into America if President Roosevelt continued his progressive policies. Certain American industrialists had a great deal to do with bringing fascist regimes into being in both Germany and Italy. They extended aid to help Fascism occupy the seat of power, and they are helping to keep it there. Propagandists for fascist groups try to dismiss the fascist scare. We should be aware of the symptoms. When industrialists ignore laws designed for social and economic progress they will seek recourse to a fascist state when the institutions of our government compel them to comply with the provisions."
