Overwriting new and delete
In C++, you can generally use your own stuff if you do not like what you get from the language and standard library: You can overload functions, inherit classes and specialize templates – you can change things into what you want. You do not want to overload &&, || and comma. And you almost never want to overload the global operator new and operator delete.
But I am special, so I do want to.
Mobile codebloat
Everyone has a smart phone these days — they are so common that they are no longer smart phones, they are just phones. To make the mobile life easier for our readers, we are – at the request of @kenneth_aa - putting some effort into making codebloat more mobile-friendly. Doing this is quite far from the expertise areas of any of us, so we would very much like input and feedback from you as to how we can make codebloat excellent reading on a mobile device.
The steps we have taken so far include:
- Using a more mobile-friendly theme when visiting the site from a mobile browser. (If you ever have any problems with the mobile browser detection, we would love to hear from you!)
- Removing header image from the mobile theme.
- Limiting the number of posts shown.
- Splitting long posts into multiple pages when viewed on a mobile device.
We hope you enjoy reading codebloat on a mobile device!
