They can be faked to an extent with structs, but the reality of default arguments is that you have to be aware of them anyway so that you don't get behavior you don't expect. When there are default arguments you are building up a

What I'm saying is that auto is very useful and not an exotic or niche feature, it just works the best when not using it in places where a type definition is already small or direct. This usually means types that are from inside the sc

An all or nothing approach to auto ends up being silly for reasons of clarity and specificity in types. Auto with compound types makes programs easier to read and write, especially if an IDE is there to expand complex type information. If

If 32 bit is from your face to your hand, 64 bit is from you to the sun. You aren't going to need that on a single computer in your lifetime.

You can say whatever you want, but you are conflating not getting the responses you want with "being silenced". > You're ability to participate here is facilitated by the nearly 11 years I have spent here. I did a lot of l

Telling people not to do something is very acceptable in a company. If it is users doing something with a product, that's different, but technical decisions matter.

Stuff like this always confuses me. It's like asking how to exercise without sweating. I would think the first sign of performance problems would mean some profiling and some porting of sections to a native language. Instead some com

What speed gains do you get? Does it ever seen like a lot more trouble to try to optimize ruby instead of just writing slow parts in a different language?

You use concurrent data structures but didn't write them yourself correct? I would say that that isn't programming using concurrency primitives.

If you save the break between each line, you wouldn't have to scan to the end of the line, you would just look at the next line break.

Why save the start and end? Why not just save the barrier between each line?

I'm lost on exactly what you are trying to say here. Something that can be radix sorted can likely be condensed at least partially to an integer.

Very cool. It looks like it is written in Lua using sdl and some stb single file libraries.

They only need to be converted one way so that sorting is fast. You might be overthinking this.

This post talks about a specific type of input that the sort command takes.

You left out that he double majored in economics and physics in Pennsylvania after he was in Canada, started and quit a PhD in material sciences at Stanford, sold zip2 to Compaq for $340 million and only then started a finance company.

Its use case is usually going to be sorting the output of other commands, I'm impressed it works at all. If you want to test something meant to scale, feed everything into an sqlite database and read it back. Sqlite should chew throug

I'm not sure what the point of this is, it is something basic but implemented poorly. - Saving the start and end position of a string that represents a date with 16 bytes is silly. Just convert the date to 64 or 32 bit integer (or even

I hope you aren't trying to make some sort of point about hypocrisy here. No one here is claiming they are posting on a public forum "quietly".

Google quietly gave a press release to Bloomberg so they could quietly show it to thousands of people.

I still don't understand how the biggest websites get away with being so unbelievably bloated. My guess is that most people have medium to old phones and PCs that are bogged down with nonsense running in the background and facebook, in

As usual, this nonsense headline is clickbait for the truth - some traders couldn't trade when oil went below zero.

No one should be depending on an internet connection or external server to keep people alive and there is no way amazon would somehow be responsible for a nonsense design like this, if it ever did happen.

This actually someone asking and not an investigation and explanation. There isn't even a lot of due diligence to figuring it out - no profiling or resource usage other than CPUs. Also it is musl combined with docker causing a 30x sl

Adobe definitely keeps people off of linux, although it is a shake, because linux or not, their software is terrible for most things compared to alternatives.

Even just on the surface, linux interfaces are nowhere close to the refinement of the windows 7 UI.
