We got a call from a bioinformatics group at a European university. The problem appeared simple, how to usemmap() to load a large data set into RAM all at once. OK, no problem I thought...

Well, it turns out, C++ wants to support architectures, where data and instruction pointers are physically distinct […]
Enter the wonderful world of tools for which the announcement blog takes more time to write than the tool itself. qsslint is a small command-line utility for verifying the syntax of your Qt stylesheet files (*.qss).
