I heard that this is a standard floating point test, if you get non integer value your floating point implementation is subtly broken ;)

You might use gitlab to clone your github repos. Web interface to clone them is super easy (obviously you can do it from the console also), there is no limit to private repos (their business model seems to be charging for CI time and selling on-premise licenses).

I'm not affiliated with either hosting services and I use both :)

As a programmer I like panoramic screen very much --- I usually have at least two panes with code open next to one each other. My four year laptop has HD screen, which also helps a lot.

I also find horizontal space much more valuable.

For a simple project cmake is also very easy to write. Much easier than plain make IMO, as you have only a single layer of abstraction (cmake).

Problem is, that as far as I understand, compiler "fixes" could fix attacked application. So if JavaScript code is exploiting Spectre to read passwords from your keepassx fixes need to be applied to keepassx and not to V8 engine.

(Also probably you can patch V8 interpreter to mitigate this issue, but this is a different story)
