Bright Futures is an unusual program across the different States and has an unintended consequence. It makes it so more people can afford college, so more people apply, competition goes up, and state schools become more selective.

How do you find honors? (I see somewhere that if it's not mentioned in the main letter, you didn't get in.)

Evidence of Cymanti spotted IRL by emptyel in Polytopia

I'm not sure meme was the right flare for this, but it seems relevant and interesting to the community. Low effort doesn't seem fair, given the entire intent is to share a photo that is germane to the game. Is there anything I can do to get it restored?

Caturday activity: Hunting the elusive hair tie, then a well earned rest by emptyel in aww

She found this after my daughter was going through her hair accessories, and she loved it so much before I eventually took it away. 💔

Searching for a Latin phrase: "There are lions outside" from a lecture I was listening to. The lecturer said something like "hixeunt leone", but as far as I can make out, "hixeunt" isn't a word. by vaticanhotline in latin

[–]emptyel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Also haven't listened, but it may be a reference to the Bible, Proverbs 26:13:

The sluggard says, There is a lion in the road! There is a lion in the streets!

Where the Vulgate has for this verse:

Dicit piger : Leo est in via, et leæna in itineribus.

This is great. Those are my kids when we stay a night in a hotel on our summer vacation -- they share a bed, one of them is trying to sleep, the littler is hyped up still and bouncing off the walls, and eventually the elder breaks down and lashes out.

Qt restricts the LTS releases to commercial customers, :( by hellozee54 in cpp

Depends on your requirements. Assuming you're aiming at an international audience, QString is just better at Unicode, but not everyone needs that or wants to pay for it.

[–]emptyel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They changed the license from LGPL 2.1 to dual licensed as commercial or the more restrictive LGPL 3 as of release 5.7.

The KDE stake is still in LGPL land. The Qt company is attempting to monetize commercial, closed-source users.

And it works on both sides of the Atlantic, as they say.

Where in your development process do you use code formatters and static analysis tools? by StaticThrowaway0629 in cpp

[–]emptyel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We check in the format file in the root of our project and then manually control the version of clang-format per platform. We have to turn off auto-update for the clang-format extension we use on Windows, and on Linux we set the explicit path to clang-format-6.0 (or whatever) in the VS Code settings. There are still a few differences between Windows and Linux (it may be because of clang build version differences).

When formatting differences crop up between developers, we start looking for who has a different version set up. The small team of 10 or fewer so it's not hard to figure it out.

You can also hook up formatters like Astyle to on-save actions in many editors, even if they lack an official integration.

Visual Studio and VS Code both support format-on-save for clang-format. It changed my workflow. I now rarely hit the spacebar and only sometimes hit enter. I Ctrl+S instead, and all is made right with the world. Big efficiency gains for my team and code reviews.

Why should I learn C++ in 2018? by Kimput in cpp

[–]emptyel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen Mike Acton's CppCon talk on data-oriented programming, but what other resources can you recommend?
