gcc and g++ are compiler-drivers of the GNU Compiler Collection (which was once upon a time just the GNU C Compiler). Even though they automatically determine which backends (cc1 cc1plus …) to call depending on the file-type, unless overridden with -x language, they have some differences. The probably most important difference in their defaults is … Read more
CPython is the original Python implementation. It is the implementation you download from Python.org. People call it CPython to distinguish it from other, later, Python implementations, and to distinguish the implementation of the language engine from the Python programming language itself. The latter part is where your confusion comes from; you need to keep Python-the-language separate from whatever runs the Python … Read more
Update for 2020: Sticking to the original question of 16×16 versus 32×32 icons: the current recommendation should be to provide a 32×32 icon, skipping 16×16 entirely. All current browsers and devices support 32×32 icons. The icon will routinely be upscaled to as much as 192×192 depending on the environment (assuming there are no larger sizes … Read more
You need to decode the bytes object to produce a string:
In a thread on comp.lang.java.help, Hunter Gratzner gives some arguments against the presence of a Pair construct in Java. The main argument is that a class Pair doesn’t convey any semantics about the relationship between the two values (how do you know what “first” and “second” mean ?). A better practice is to write a very simple class, like the one … Read more
Use !=. See comparison operators. For comparing object identities, you can use the keyword is and its negation is not. e.g.
After trying many things I just ended up deleting the view controller in the storyboard and recreating it from scratch and the problem disappeared. I’m not sure what was the issue, maybe some bug in Xcode…
Unfortunately – it could be many things – and lots of app servers and other java ‘wrappers’ are prone to play with properties and their ‘own’ take on keychains and what not. So it may be looking at something totally different. Short of truss-ing – I’d try: to see if that helps. Instead of ‘all’ … Read more
The stack is the memory set aside as scratch space for a thread of execution. When a function is called, a block is reserved on the top of the stack for local variables and some bookkeeping data. When that function returns, the block becomes unused and can be used the next time a function is … Read more
I think you are mixing up lots of different things and have several confusions, so I’m try to work through most of them in the order you brought them up: when we declare a series of vertices, let’s say 3 vertices that form a triangle primitive, we basically store those nowhere, they’re simply declared in … Read more
