It may happen if enough republicans that want to stay afloat in the post-Trump era jump ship.

That era and the reckoning it will bring are coming, either now or in two years. The skillet is getting hotter day by day.

It’s rather obvious that if the dems take the senate and the congress next week, it will be fight for survival for the ruling top, with Trump at the top spot, as they will be looking at a very real possibility of getting trialed and jailed.

Given what Trump did when he lost the election, we can bet that whatever comes now will be way way more nasty and disruptive.

Then, if the dems don't win, it will imply a massive scale of election fraud, which too will stir sh*t in another, but equally significant way.

So one way or another, the market volatility is all but guaranteed, and a significant market slide is also very likely as people will be parking in cash/gold for a while. And weak tech earnings is just the right trigger.

In Windows, by default, thread's stack is capped at 1MB. Main thread gets more but that's somewhat off the point.

Just like AutoDesk, my subtraction skills aren't what they used to be :-/

This was almost 30 years ago, in 1989.

Autodesk was quite alright back then.

Looks like a straight https://krillion.io clone with some trivial extensions and a much smaller sampling base?

Beijing being 3rd less popular answer for "Asian capital city" is pretty bizarre.

It's a feedback for whoever was responsible for publishing this article.

Explicit and vocal pushback of unwanted practices is surprisingly effective.

As they used to say on slashdot:

From the "C++ design committee was so preoccupied with whether they could, they never stopped to think whether they should" department.

Asserts:

1. You don't like the being conditional on NDEBUG ot aborting the program - roll out your own. Will still be a one-liner.

2. You want them act as documentation of pre-conditions in headers - just add a comment there.

The only somewhat reasonable development here are the post conditions for functions with multiple returns, but post/s are dramatically less common than pre/s, so their utility is also debatable.

It's not they are ugly or beautiful.

It's just that it's one thing to like how something looks and another is to want to have it.
