Does anyone here use prototyping tools? I'm building one myself as I feel
like I'm doing the same thing over and over again with the majority of my
projects, how do people generally feel about them? Do people ever use the
generated code in production?
Thoughts appreciated.

I for one do all my prototyping in VS.net. Very easy to put together a good
looking UI. The secret to prototyping though is to Never use the prototyped
code in the production project. Always start over with a clean project once
the user accepts the prototype. This avoids having all the garbage code we
use in a prototype carrying forward to production.

My feelings also, you get that "Thats a bit dirty, but I'll tidy it up
later" feeling and six months later the dirty code turns up in production.
I wasn't actually thinking about UI design more so the data tier, this is
the area I spend most of my time developing and yet it seems to be mostly
repetative.
I have the basics already developed using reflection and custom attributes
but I'm undecided as to whether or not to develop it any further, I know
I'll benefit from it in it's present state but I'm interested in other
people views. Some kind of automatic generation of the tables,
relationships, fields and attributes would be a bonus, but may take some
time to develop.

Oh no, not another "check out my cool new language" posting :-)
For about 5 years now, I have been developing a scripting/prototyping language

to use and develop it.
The language has a syntax similar to C++ and Java but is aimed at adhoc and
prototyping tasks. Unlike other...

Is that a reasonable thing to do? Suggestions?

Dear All,
I have a question regarding proptypes for functions. What is the
recommended practice? The way I do it is to put all my external functions
in a header file, while protyping internal (file scope) functions at the
start of the source file. I've seen many people (especially using gcc
under linux) don't botehr prototyping internal functions but just declare
them inline so to speak.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
