<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

which is the "more" correct?

The XML spec says that processors "SHOULD" be match encoding names
case-insensitively. "SHOULD" is a technical term, less strong than
"MUST", but I can't see any reason why a processor would not do it.

Hi I have two questions. Could someone explain to me why Python is case sensitive? I find that annoying. Also, why aren't there multiline comments? Would adding them cause a problem of some sort? Thanks, Elliot

This doesn't seem like it should be *that* difficult, but after quite some time trying to figure it out, I'm still banging my head against the wall. My objective is to examine the exact case-sensitive domain used by the client to request a page, such as http://www.mysite.com vs. http://www.MySite.com. As I spin through all the ServerVariables and various & sundry HTTP headers (e.g. ALL_HTTP, ALL_RAW, etc.), all I seem to pick up is the...

Well, today I needed to process some data for upload to a web page and it needed higher ASCII characters encoded as HTML entities.

Why is C case sensitive? I know it's a bit late to change it now but there would seem to be far more advantages in ignoring letter case in source code. In real life such a situation would be ridiculous (eg. the 16 ways of writing my name) and, in some cases, frightening. Is it to avoid having to think up new identifiers? And how would you distinguish case when reading out bits of code over the phone for

Hi, I'm working within an application (making a lot of wrappers), but the application is not case sensitive. For example, Typing obj.name, obj.Name, or even object.naMe is all fine (as far as the app is concerned). The problem is, If someone makes a typo, they may get an unexpected error due accidentally calling the original attribute instead of the wrapped version. Does anyone have a simple solution for this?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
