what limitation will we face if each user-perceived character is assigned to one codepoint? Yes but at times some standards are so horrible to live with it. Unicode has way way too many flaws. No one gets it right. Not even Microsoft nor Google. We should disband it for a simpler standard that actually has a chance of getting things right. |

Should UTF-16 be considered harmful? bmp and astral is not the real issue. But allowing accented characters to have a separate diacritic is horrible. The guy who even thought of that idea deserved to have his head flushed in the toiletbowl |

Using “catching exceptions” to improve readability, Good or Bad? Btw I was wondering how do we justify the EOFException which DataStreams uses to detect an end of line (end of line isn't exceptional is it) as demonstrated in docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/io/datastreams.html ? |

Using “catching exceptions” to improve readability, Good or Bad? @ThorbjørnRavnAndersen of course I was reading the book and don't have a real "test case" to measure.. but if we do measure it in a contrived code then obviously there's a performance penalty then |

Using “catching exceptions” to improve readability, Good or Bad? I come from .NET so pardon my knowledge of Java, but I have personally experienced catching exceptions in .NET causing insane delays (magnitude of seconds) which were fixed by removing "catching-exception code".. |

How could the first C++ compiler be written in C++? i don't quite understand your comment. do you mean now there are compilers that skip the second step and simply take the C++ source and compile to machine code? |

How could the first C++ compiler be written in C++? so basically when we compile a C++ program, it gets converted into C, then after it's converted into C, it gets compiled again to machine code? |
