@87Spider @alex_avoigt How many of the spaces would you expect to be populated on average? How many of those would you expect to require charging for the full stay? Let’s assume occupancy is 70% and charging is 80% of stay? 56% of capacity? Obviously guessed numbers and is my maths right?

@gigaclear My direct debit keeps failing at first it was due to a typo on your side, now it don’t know why, I have the required funds in the account. Now I’m getting late payment notices from you even though I’ve manually payed yet again!

[Stefan Pantos @drpantos]

@lefticus No but they are very open to sloppy programming. What if x happens “oh I’ll just catch an std::exception and ignore it”. At least with other cases you have more direct understanding of what your potential ignoring.

@elonmusk @yvanleterrible2 Are bots emulating browsing patterns of their time line?

[Stefan Pantos @drpantos]

@allenholub Code review practice can be an audit requirement in some places. However if your changes are small and you’re working collaboratively the review step of a pr is almost just a formality.

@lefticus Are we saying ‘almost always auto’ is wrong or this is why it is ‘almost’? Personally I feel it should be ‘in some cases auto is fine’ but it isn’t as catchy.

@williamnhutton I would suggest austerity was really. It disenfranchised a large proportion of the population and brexitiers were able to steer the narrative so blame “the establishment”, the EU. This is why levelling up was so important, otherwise they would be found out.

@ID_AA_Carmack I’m sure I’ve seen this in vineyard. I assumed it was to keep frost off the grapes.

[Stefan Pantos @drpantos]

@lefticus I’ve never understood 2. Your program can always crash/abort whether that is your intention or not. You can introduce bugs which cause it and then there are outside factors too. So you better plan for it and work on those startup times.

@LadyJLondon @EdConwaySky @KwasiKwarteng And now?

[Stefan Pantos @drpantos]

@arayq2 @lefticus @guteniev This is exactly what I mean by people have emulated finally. it isn’t as clear because the control flow of the code is, get to the end of scope, implicit jump up to the start of the scope and execute that code. Also the scope guard is executed before the catch for an exception.

[Stefan Pantos @drpantos]

@arayq2 @lefticus @guteniev I don’t understand your lambda for rollbacks suggestion. Do you have an example?

[Stefan Pantos @drpantos]

@lefticus @arayq2 @guteniev I’ve seen multiple Finally classes to emulate finally in C++ but it isn’t as clear in my opinion. In cases where the interaction between resources are complex and specific to the situation, creating a class for that situation is costly and less clear where clarity is paramount.

@oschonrock @dascandy42 @preshing Having said that C# and Java seem to have good parsing performance with similar syntax to C. Is it more the preprocess, import structure and template causing issue?

[Stefan Pantos @drpantos]

@oschonrock @dascandy42 @preshing Although I’m not keen on the syntax either I’m not sure, “language X did it this way and therefore it is bad”, is a good argument.

[Stefan Pantos @drpantos]

@allenholub How about them describing how well understood the problem is. S we understand this very well, M more understand required but don’t expect any show stoppers L there is still a lot of missing understanding of this. XL we basically don’t have a clue.

[Stefan Pantos @drpantos]

@duckula @JakeArkinstall @lefticus I’ve been doing clion remote builds for a while but because of the size of the project the sync can take a really long time. Found that rsyncing it by hand is faster. WSL looks really good but trying it stopped VMs from working and until I know it works I’ll need the VMs.

[Stefan Pantos @drpantos]

@pristleys @mstine Does anyone have anything which I can reference to help support me argue this blindly obvious fact?
