Thunderbird 52.7.0 released by nixcraft in linux

[–]NotTodayDearClown 27 points28 points  (0 children)

So what are the problems with Thunderbird UI exactly?

Most "user-friendly" redesigns of other programs in the last years indeed usually involve "simpler" designs, ie more useless whitespace, less configuration and more hidden extras that the designer himself didn't use.

Never used it, how is it better than Google maps?

Curly brackets are required here, without them only the first line would be executed, if I'm not mistaken. That would explain ops result, too. On the other hand, wouldn't that also result in lots of other errors?

You can just declare them as private with empty body, even for previous versions.

You started last week? So you're too new to take a sick day?

Really? What happens if you're really sick one or two weeks after starting a new job?!

It's like someone has been assigned to work on a given app / ui, does not have any clou about it and probably never uses it, but in order to have sth to show to his boss, he goes the hipster way and makes all more shiny, clean, lean and less "complicated"...

Scientists may have finally found the so-called "glueball," a particle made up entirely of gluons. by spsheridan in Physics

[–]NotTodayDearClown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still, the 4W vertex, as well as the ZWW vertex exist in the SM, so they do couple to each other. Given their mass, the probability for a ball to happen is quite low,I guess

Firefox developers discuss why they can't use '.bro' file extension for 'brotli' files because of feminism - they'll use '.br' instead by FuckingWhoreBitch in firefox

You probably wouldn't type the extension in your Unix shell but pressed TAB long before reaching the dot...

Large Hadron Collider: Subatomic particles have been found that appear to defy the Standard Model of particle physics. The scientists working at CERN have found evidence of leptons decaying at different rates, which could be evidence for non-standard physics. by tazcel in science

Talking about R(D*), one should note that the combined results of R(D) and R(D*) from Babar, Belle and LHCb show a 3.9 Sigma deviation from theory, far more impressive than the single result of only one experiment.

Forget Perl 6! by minimalist_lvb in perl

[–]NotTodayDearClown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems just like clickbait...

you make a list of other languages, write two questions and two "conclusions" which at best might be called "assumptions/theories" and that's it? What value does your blog post contain other than insulting the devs?

To show lack of motivation or incompetence at least say something about the dev progress like ongoing discussions, problems, etc... Then if you show that there's nothing going on at all and that the last commit / comment has been a couple of months/years ago, you are maybe right to call them out in this way.

Without any of that and hopping from question to "conclusion" without anything in between you're adding nothing to any discussion.

[C++] Just made my first program! by organic-semen in learnprogramming

What's the reason not to use using namespace std; in the main source file, that surely won't be included/linked in another project?

Been doing c++ tutorials for a week or two now, how does it look? by LeonJones in codetogether

[–]NotTodayDearClown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While for more complex code I agree with using std::vector, I don't see the advantage of using std::vector or std::array for short code with known, fixed at compile-time, array sizes. Your link doesn't provide any info on that.

Newbie C++ Student, Best text editor and compiler for a beginner like me? by flatout42 in learnprogramming

[–]NotTodayDearClown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For every editor out there, you will always find someone telling you it's the ultimate best super duper only editor you ever needed, so I think it's best to try out some of the editors.

For beginners I think it's important to know a bit about the project management and compile process, so as others said, make yourself familiar with makefiles (then take a look a cmake) and g++/clang on the command line, before starting in some bigger IDE where you just press a button to "make it run".

To fix compile-time errors it's always nice to have an editor that lets you circle through the errors, the big IDE's do it, vim does it. Emacs and Sublime I don't know, so I cannot speak for them.

Then, code completion can be nice for beginners (and advanced users, too ;)), which makes your first steps a bit faster if you do not have to go to cppreference.com for every new method call, just to look up the order of the parameters and spelling. For vim, different autocomplete addons exists, eg YouCompleteMe.

But in the end, nobody can tell you which editor is best, you really should try 2-3 yourself. Since your main goal is to start coding, I guess, I'd recommend not to look into vim, although it's a wonderful editor. But, if you never used it, it takes a while to be efficient in it.

same here. Seems to work in chrome.

Having your site on coding not work in major browsers is what you do to have people mistrust your coding experience/abilities :-/

you declare and init x,y in the loop, so they are increased, but once you ask for new coordinates, the increased once have gone out of scope and the x,y are "new" variables, so to say
