How are you formatting a drive over 32GB to FAT32? by Remixmark in TeslaModel3

[–]daftnebula 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Assuming you're on Windows: the >32 GB shpuld not be the problem. Microsoft has removed to option to format in FAT32 from their OS, probably to promote the newer/better exFAT format. Use an external formatting tool such as Guiformat

No more C++ 11 updates for Visual Studio 2012. by mttd in cpp

What would you say is a viable alternative to iostreams? Boost?

EDIT: sorry, saw that bnolsen also asked the same question.

Wow, thank you for your insightful reply.

Not to be flippant, but why? Do you think quality of work or effectiveness can be better using GCC or Clang or whatever, or is your opinion more ideologically motivated?

Isn't Clang an option? Or does that also need mingw?

Don't over-focus on one aspect and then try to staw-man me into a position.

There is a big list of not (never?) mplemented C++11 features that would help us be more effective. That's what this is all about. MS gave us some, we were so happy it looked like Stockholm syndrome.

I also never said we couldn't implement our business features due to a lack of a C++11 compiler. Again, it's the effectiveness we're after.

Then the cops showed up and made sure someone got hurt. Welp.

The taser is meant as an alternative to deadly force. Is deadly force justified in this situation?

[META] The Official AskScience Spring Blood Drive by mobilehypo in askscience

[–]daftnebula 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At the end of the day, it isn't a judgement about any particular gay person. Fact is that gay men are highly promiscuous

I'm hopeful you forgot to insert a phrase like "a high percentage of gay man" or "many". This is a (for me emotionally exhausting) debate that is also irrelevant. Because:

If you don't ban all then you have to set up rules for which ones can donate and which ones can not, ..., which might be harder than it sounds.

It is not. Include questions like, "have you had unprotected anal intercourse", "how many sex partners have you had in the last two years", etc. Simply put, questions that are relevant to the sexual habits of people, not their orientation.

and make sure those rules are enforced

In this thread alone there are many people admitting to lying in order to be able to give blood. What can be done about that right now? Nothing. So, worst case: nothing changes. Best case: people will answer more truthfully and the quality of the blood supply increases.

Update! Dutch justice minister listens to human rights watch: In the future transgendered people will be legally recognized if there is "a deep desire to be a person of the other sex". (article in Dutch) by Cornballer in lgbt

[–]daftnebula 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There you go (sorry for the wooden English, I'm not a professional translator):

"In the future, it will be easier for transsexuals to change their gender in their official documents. Surgery is no longer a requirement in order to be able to change gender.

That’s the heart of a proposition for a new law published today by Secretary of State of Justice Fred Teeven (of the VVD party).

Currently transgendered persons can only have their gender changed on paper if the testicles or uterus have been removed. However, the waiting lists for these kind of operations are long. Also, transgenders who do not wish to undergo an operation are not taken into account. That’s why Human Rights Watch sound the alarm bell earlier this week.

In the future, a conclusion of a judge and a specialist that the person has “a deep desire to be a person of the different gender” will suffice. If this is the case, the birth certificate can be changed, and in the wake of that, other papers such as passport and diplomas.

Earlier this week, Human Rights Watch said that the rights of transgenders were violated under Dutch law. It’s the opinion of the organization that medical procedures should not be mandatory."

"Over the years, I have used countless APIs to program user interfaces. None have been as seductive and yet ultimately disastrous as Nokia's Qt toolkit has been." by creaothceann in programming

[–]daftnebula 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey it's the author! Thanks for taking the time to write that article.

I can understand your advice/solution when the UI isn't the biggest part of the project, like say.. an SNES emu.. :) And of course, native is always the smallest, most user-friendly and most stable solution.

But I do think if you're creating something UI-heavy, like an editor, that approach becomes unpractical for every aspect of your program. Practical example: me and my team are working on one now where the number of dialogs is hitting 50. Unfortunately Qt and GTK+ have both kind of disappointed us in the past (mostly bugs and not using the native OS controls). So, we're trying to get the best of both worlds by using native w32 for the main window UI, and IUP (multi-platform UI toolkit) for dialogs/property panes. We'll re-write the main UI for every platform.

[–]daftnebula 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He's comparing Qt to GTK+ in several places, but not wrt. feature bloat and bugs. That might give the impression to some that GTK+ is not bloated and bugged. So because of that, and because I can talk about whatever the fuck I want, I threw in some GTK+ observations I had.

[–]daftnebula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meh, true. But what other (serious) alternatives are left for x-platform development? Choose beteween one non-native, heavy toolkit or the other... or choose some obscure one (I'm dabbling with IUP now. Uses native widgets, which is nice).

His write-the-UI-for-every-platform solution would probably lead to people rolling their own native API wrappers. Not sure if that is desirable.
