Sadly it's wrong. My gripe with it is that it presents countersteering as necessary , while it's just a technique to more quickly initiate a turn. Basically by steering right while leaning left, then snapping the handlebars to th

You can also say that strict aliasing is incompatible with the original design of C (i.e. it's a huge mess). We should have never had undefined behaviour in C to begin with, that should have been a separate language (possibly one that

Twitter has already booted former president of the USA Donald Trump due to similar conduct. As they say, with great power, comes great responsibility. Twitter have shown themselves willing to wield their power for the good of the USA, thus

That's fine. Define it as saturating on those architectures. Just being defined as "this never happens" is hugely detrimental to predicting how you're program behaves.

Personally, I choose to just write non-standard C and turn on my compiler's option to define signed overflow as wrapping. Note that without that option, multiplication of unsigned shorts is undefined on platforms where sizeof(unsigned

The numbers used in computing systems are normal mathematical numbers in the Z_2^32 field. The signed ones are shifted by half the range in the negative direction. There is nothing un-mathematical about them, people who have studied any mat

What do you think about separating author's rights from copyright? That is, separate the right to distribute copies from the right to make derivatives?

Shadow of Mordor was pretty great. But executives seem to be swayed too much by people who wish to make yet another Marvel movie with a political message pushing values that were adopted by the majority back in the '70s. There are many

Does that imply that living in Japan for 6 months costs 30 million yen?

I've used IDEs, but just keep ending up using vim. With fzf, ctags, clangd and YouCompleteMe, it's a very productive tool for C++. The two things I really miss from Visual Studio are the easy project setup - writing cmake by hand

Congratulations! #embed is a very useful feature. If I may gripe about C for a bit though. I do truly appreciate C's portability. It's possible to target a very diverse set of architectures and operating systems with a single sour

A slightly more ridiculous one I experienced recently was when I searched where to buy tool X. Started getting ads for why I need tool X and why it's the best tool ever. I already want one, I'm looking where to buy, not trying to

If it's user hostile, isn't that against the Rust code of conduct? Can't Google's license to use Rust be revoked in that case?

Copyright and its consequences have been a disaster for human culture. We should just have author's rights, which must be non transferable. Non profit file sharing should be allowed in all cases. I say this because we effectively live

I sort of hope we get html in the terminal. Like imagine you send an escape sequence to the terminal and it becomes a browser window with communication over stdin/out, after which you're basically writing a CGI backend, except wit

Clang, MSVC and GCC all have options to turn off various flavours of UB, or rather to define the behaviour in those cases. I strongly suggest using -fwrapv -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks (and the equivalent in MSVC) in

You don't get the guarantees for what code is generated that you do with macros and they take a lot longer to compile. Also you can't just modify the AST of the current scope like you can with macros - pretty much every single tim

That's horrible. The Turkish "i" is a never ending source of locale nightmares. I really wish they would pick a new letter for one of the sounds and use the standard "i" for the other. Like maybe use a diaresis.

You could store a bit of metadata per password. Like an additional salt that you change every time you have to change the password, plus any requirements for generating it. Of course then it is using a kind of a vault.

The comparison is not the way you'd expect. Index j goes past index i, but the comparison doesn't change. What you propose is a condition more like if ((a[i] < a[j]) != (i < j)) swap(a, i, j) ; Which obviously works

But you can run x86 software on the M1 at almost native speed through a software translator. Isn't that proof enough that the instruction set itself isn't what's holding back the hardware?

The best approach remains to know the right people who can tell you about which doctors are good. Or as the kids call it,"networking". E.g. my dentist (an exceptionally good and professional woman) is someone I know because she&#x

It would be ok if YouTube only moderates really popular channels and videos that have the most potential to cause harm. As always, the problem is scale - solutions that work for my 5-man IRC server do not scale to YouTube's size. So, a
