I'm also using NixOS for my NAS, you should look into quadlets (docker containers managed by systemd) to manage containers with nix.

Android phones sold in China don't have access to the Google Play Store so every phone manufacturer has their own store. Some apps (like Feiliao, ByteDance alternative to wechat) are distributed as .apk directly from the app website.

The timelime doesn't match tho. The article is dated 19/03 and mentions a study released the previous week (so 12/03 or late). The italian lockdown started on the 22/02 [0] for a few towns, and a couple of weeks later was extended to the entire peninsula.

If you want to use F# to build GUIs, you should definitely check out Fabolous [1]. It uses Xamarin.Forms to render the widgets, and you get to write the application logic using the Elm architecture.

Yes, that's standard and it's called overrounding. If the odds were to sum to 100% then the bookmaker would make no profit. Betting exchanges such Betfair have books closer to 100%.

Can you write in which language/toolkit is MariaMole written? I think it's a fundamental information when asking people for help with the code.

New comment by fceccon in "GCC 4.8 Has Automatic Return Type Deduction"

fceccon — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 13:09:31 +0000

As a beginner programmer (a.k.a. CS student) I was able to pickup the basic of the language in the last 2 months and work on a real world (not a school project, it's a library that other universities use) cuda c++ project. I read a book so I have an idea of what can and can't be done, but when I need to implement something unusual (ie function object) I need to lookup it in the book or ask for help to my mentor. I still need help to understand gcc errors, cuda uses an "old" version (3.4 I think) so we don't get the improvements of the new versions.

fceccon — Mon, 19 Nov 2012 13:36:07 +0000

After researching a bit on the net I chose C++ Primer 5/e (not C++ Primer Plus). The author uses some of the new features of C++11 in the examples (like constexpr, auto, list initializer etc.) so you get used to a modern C++ style, but for every new feature it tell you what it replaces so you can still maintain "old" code. The book in subdivided in 4 parts, the first part is about the language, the secondo part about the STL, the third part about advanced OOP and the fourth part about advanced stuff.

Also the Kindle edition is really well done.

I'm reading C++ Primer 5/e at the moment and I'm enjoying it so far. I like how it starts using the hight level containers before introducing other more low-level structs. The second part is a nice overview of the C++ Library so you won't end reinventing the wheel when writing your first programs.

Also the Kindle edition is really well done. The biggest flaw of this book is that's huge.

I think DDG has some personalization based on your location, for example if I search "weather" it shows me the weather near me.

Your app looks good, on Twitter you say it will be free, please don't. I prefer paying €3-€4 now and have it stick around than having it for free and abandoned in a year.

    And I can't see the third clause being triggered, because neither the name you gave it, or your name are being used.

They're using the ChatSecure logo and name on the page[1] header, so I think the third clause is triggered.

Instapaper also offers a subscription plan http://www.instapaper.com/faq

If I remember correctly it adds search and the ability to use the full API by 3rd party clients.
