When I first learned C++ 6-7 years ago, what I learned was basically "C with Classes". std::vector was definitely an advanced topic, something you could learn about if you really wanted to. And there was certainly no one telling me that destructors could be harnessed to help manage memory. Toda...

... Oh, that might be more efficient than my approach because it does it all in one block. Good idea. – Paul Tomblin Sep 26 '08 at 13:02 10 ...

...of the object being pointed to. There is no single smart pointer type, but all of them try to abstract a raw pointer in a practical way. Smart pointers should be preferred over raw pointers. If you feel you need to use pointers (first consider if you really do), you would normally want to use a sma...

... the efficiency reasons that i mentioned above is that an array allocation will happen each time you invoke the var arg version of the method. this could be wasteful for hand-fulls of items, which i suspect will be common usage. – les2 May 4 '10 at 1...

...s might be related to: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61824 Basically when you apply a 3D transform on the z-axis, the z-index can't be accounted for anymore (you're now in a 3 dimensional rendering plane, use different z-values). If you want to switch back to 2D rendering for child elemen...

The update installed patches for Windows Defender, wdboot.sys, wdfilter.sys, tcpip.sys, rpcrt4.dll, uxtheme.dll, crypt32.dll and wintrust.dll Uxtheme.dll is the odd-duck out. It implements the Visual Styles theming API and is used by this...

...ut lambda functions? Like lambda x: x**2 + 2*x - 5 Those things are actually quite useful. Python supports a style of programming called functional programming where you can pass functions to other functions to do stuff. Example: mult3 = filter(lambda x: x % 3 == 0, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9])...

...bout. So the question is, of course, why is Integer::max accepted? After all it's not a comparator! The answer is in the way that the new lambda functionality works in Java 8. It relies on a concept which is informally known as "single abstract method" interfaces, or "SAM" interfaces. The idea ...
