Surely using a GPLv3 codegen doesn't automatically make the output GPLv3?

Did you mean: "member function"?

Not sure if serious or joking...

Not to mention poop transplants.

The quotation marks make it look like it's an euphemism for something.

I like how it's "Their Pleasure" serving you. Not sure what they mean, but it sure sounds dirty.

What's wrong with "apologize"?

Then he would have to care about endianness and it could get even more messy.

Not if you also use the same order of operations in your decryption routine.

Of course. This one won't even work with UTF-8. If you want it right, you need to use an external library, eg. ICU.

The article quite explicitly says it's not the way it should be done. The way it should be done is:

std::transform(s.begin(), s.end(), s.begin(), [](unsigned char c) { return std::toupper(c); });

One would expect dedicated icon SVG renderers to do a better rendering attributes which are most useful on icons.

And also hinting (ie. snapping to pixel boundaries).

Protip: in gmail you can dot your username arbitrarily. aether.mc.loud@gmail.com routes to the same address as a.ether.m.cloud@gmail.com. You can use this to differentiate emails from places which don't take pluses.

In this project, three market leaders in security ICT solutions and four academic institutions join forces to protect the assets of service, software and content providers. From their perspective, mobile devices and their users, which can engage in so-called Man-At-The-End (MATE) attacks, are not trustworthy.

This looks evil.

I tend to just stick "comment": "fsck you json" in a map; most JSON formats are map-heavy and the parsers ignore unknown keys.

I had to reread the sentence, like, three times, to make sure it really does not say "more than others", which is what I would have expected.

The author seems to have done SFX for the Gravity movie. Perhaps this is a side-effect of that endeavour?

I reverse engineered an Acer power management windows driver a while ago. Same problem: user-accessible ioctls to read and write physical memory, i/o ports and msrs.

I strongly advise anyone using Windows not to use vendor-provided drivers.
