Exactly this. Somewhat an issue here though, that this is essentially a matter of a person's culture. What you've said is most likely true for WEIRD (acronym) people, but for other cultures where retailiation is quite possible, on

Honestly, I was expecting to see suggestions for testing for numerical stability. This might be a super annoying issue if the data is just right to hit certain peculiarities of floating point numbers representation.

Likely it isn't, because the Solar system today and 3Bln years ago are two very different systems.

To the best of my knowledge not everyone agrees to that hypothesis. One of the strongest arguments against it is that paleontological evidence is always incomplete. Holes in it that are treated in favor of the hypothesis are actually smalle

Firefox + Simple Tab Groups addon is all you need. Seriously, a browser is much more than just another program. It has become a foundation of lots of computer interaction experiences, and therefore requirements to it, especially to its secu

Thanks. This should be the actual submission instead of the marketing-speak blah-blah

TLDR; I shoot myself in a foot thinking I'm shooting elsewhere. Don't do this! Thanks for a useful info! /s

And for me it was this ingenious 2019 paper co-authored by Stephan Hoyer and Sam Greydanus on doing structural optimization by employing a (constrained) neural network as a storage/modifier/tuner of the physical model describing t

ah, but maybe it's the first time in a history when I'm happy with a font I've just found. Thanks for the site and for featuring the Incosolata font!

This one is good, however, for me there's always a weird problem - I choose a font I like on some site, install it, then set it in my IDE (MSVS or VSCode @Win7/10/11) and it is... I wouldn't say like sh*t, or even looks

Thanks, I've also found this, but the last commit happened long ago, so I wasn't sure the project is alive. Will try it.

I guess, it's a user-mode debugger? Just curious, what is the sort of current choice for a kernel-mode debugger (beyond WinDBG)? Long-long time ago, khe-khe, when trees were small, khe-khe, there was SoftIce to rule them all, but its l

That's very important info for some pythonistas, thanks for sharing!

A mandatory comment of the single most important tabs related feature, called "Simple tab groups" extension. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/simple-tab-gr... The rest IMO is just nice

perfect again, thank you!

It would be super interesting to read the paper. Please post a link or some more details if you will remember them.

but to me these are - again - a user induced problems. I'm interested if a user doesn't do stupid things, should they still afraid that a standard extern C code could throw? Say, std::sprintf() which if I'm not mistaken boils

Interestingly, AUTOSAR C++14 Guidance ( https://www.autosar.org/fileadmin/standards/R22-11/AP/AUTOSA... ) had a "Rule A15-4-4 (required, implementation, automated) A declaration of non-throwing functi

Yes, true, thanks. I confused "will it throw given inputs&state?" with "can it potentially throw?". I wonder, why compilers don't expose that information? Some operator returning tri-state "this code provab

by Arech 2y ago
Yes, my mistake was in confusion a run-time question "will it throw?" with "can it throw in theory?". The latter if I'm not mistaken again only requires a throw statement somewhere in a non-dead code, which is total

jfc... Can you give more info how did you learn this and to which lib implementation this applies?

Ah, that's a great correction, thank you! Yes, indeed, due to a drift, in order to discern second+ (?) differences on different machines (or same machines, but different OSes?), one definitely needs to use a wall-clock time, otherwise

Eeeermm... I haven't heard an explosion, but 4+ hours has passed. Are you alive there, dude? Jokes aside - I'm always happy to be corrected, so please go on if I made a mistake somewhere.

No, it can't do that. My speculation is that likely it is so because in general case this might be a NP hard problem similar to the halting problem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halting_problem . The best it can do

That's quite interesting and a huge work has been done here, respect for that. Here's what has jumped out at me: `noexcept` qualifier is not free in some cases, particularly, when a qualified function could actually throw, but is

And, I guess, before that, there was AMD SymNow, which was plug-in extendable and gave a plugin full control over CPU being emulated. I wonder if something like that is available somewhere?

Very interesting... I wonder, how does code performance compares to raw Vulkan?
