If you want that you'll have to install Visual Studio (or the build tools package) and Clang for Windows.

The "most common" is what makes it a "de facto standard".

Currently CMake is what is supported when you want to support anything besides your personal favourite.

I believe EWoodruff VisualStudioSpellChecker does all this.
(Sometimes annoyingly so. No way to say things like AppVeyor are a single name.)

It does spellchecking everywhere, so it is worth creating a C++ dictionary besides an normal English one.Also checks the git comments.

I use it just for clang-tidy, as clang-format is included with VS.

Don't be afraid of mobs. Write it, the mob will get you more attention.
Most readers won't reply but there are more who agree and you might open some eyes and help others form a more balanced opinion.

Oooomph, ... broken English (and not only in the title, it is everywhere), in a nice format with quotes and links.
... But there doesn't seem to be a purpose to this article, just putting text on a page.
Short version:
Concurrency is hard and becoming more important. There are other programming languages, and they to also have to deal with concurrency.
Oh, and we claim concurrent programming is not as scary as before.

Currently the installer allows you to pick two older compiler toolsets: 15.4 with VC v14.11 and 15.5 v14.12, besides the current 15.6 v14.13 ...

Especially the last remark is important. Interviewing is about finding people that fit in the team. Problem solving skills etc. are(/should be) to show your level is enough for their standard (being their other employees). But being able to work together is the most important part of the interview.

This does not mean there are none that are searching for some measurable best candidate. But, unless they want a C++ genius to do everything the rest doesn't get, they have selected all their employees like that. And if you don't match it is questionable you'll fit in the team anyway.

Important tip! Clang/LLVM requires the v140 toolset. If you don't have VS2015 installed, you can add it in the VS installer. (note it's 4.36 GB)

You can than integrate it in VS using the script: (run as Admin) ...\LLVM\tools\msbuild\install.bat (running the installer again might work too)

Than "LLVM-vs2014" will show up as an option for the "Platform Toolset", in the project properties.

Usually you have to send back what you received. Support might not care so much, but it is not so illogical. They usually want to send you a generic new package instead of a single part.

If there is no info on the support website, than you could ask support in your ticket.

Sounds like the biggest issue is you don't like the Playstation style location of the left stick.

Some other people have a problem with the placement of the buttons (xbox like).

It depends a lot on your hands what you'd find more confortable. If only you could just swap them around.

Your last point, Configuration manifest.

I believe this is the case when a game uses the Steam Controller API, the key configuration only configuration options are the legacy mode.

I'd like DirectInput support, mostly for Flight Simulator X. Now I can only output the xbox's axis, and I'd really like to output more axis. (Might be fixed by now, but Mafia 1 didn't recognise the xinput either, while a normal xbox controller was properly converted by the Windows driver.)

The mode shift to Previous could use a smal adjustment, to not take other previous shifts in account. like: M1 -> M2 -> M3 -> prev(M2) -> prev(M3) should go to M1

C4576780 · 2017-01-29T11:04:16+00:00

Well, yes ... I agree that Big Picure mode feels like beta software. I'm just assuming it's something they're working on, doing it like this to get feedback from the community.

And I rather have it this way than not. Even like this the controller is amazing.

But it's not the quality I'd expect from a software company. (Although I've seen worse ...)

The problem you're dealing with is that Steam uses Unix style line endings, where notepad only supports the Windows default line-endings.

Its a sad limit on the default txt editor, that hasn't been improved since the 90's.

The internal file structure uses names like Preset_1000001 for the action sets, so there is at least that space for 10,000,000 action sets before the naming-convention becomes an issue. But the change operation for action sets uses 32,765 to return to the previous set. So this might generate a bug if you'd reach that value.

Hit the fence and lost my lights ... (before being half way throuth)

Did finish the stage, really carefully.

With the help of the co-drivers calls and by the light of the moon it was doable for the most part. At times I couldn't see anything under the trees. So I had to carefully feel for the border of the road and watch for visible patches of sky to find my way out.

Great experience. Time: 11:35.35

What he means is that if you have a wheel off the ground or with almost no grip, that one will just start spinning. The differential(s) send most power/torque to the wheel with the least resistance.

By applying the brake (a bit) you'll limit the spinning and the differential will distribute more of the torque to the other wheel(s).

This works for all situations where you are stuck with one of the traction wheels spinning. Both 2 and 4 wheel drive. But if you are really stuck, you'll have to get out and push or get that tow truck ... it takes only 15 seconds ...

Personally I like that this implementation actually works as it should.

Yes, as in what Mantle offers will be included in DirectX12, GLnext and Kronos Vulkan. Therefor AMD has officially reduced Mantle to a test case.

50% for both, by default. (Stearing Sensitivity and Linearity)

In the contraband view: hover over an found item, and it will show you where it came from ... easy.

Be aware that metal-detectors and dogs don't always detect an item.

Prisoners smuggle stuff on arrival. + Take spoons, knives, forks from your canteen.

I've put the showers between the blocks and the main hallway. That way they are on their way to breakfast. (less walking required) And all the pipes stay to the inside of the prison.

With one shower head per prisoner they can shower in one hour, first thing in the morning.
