I like Grady Booch's explanation from the Twitter thread: Rational Software was this: founded in 1982, acquired by IBM in 2003 (they outbid Microsoft, who were also interested in acquiring us). They were a number of dev tool com

In the US, those gaps are usually noted and you fill them with upper division courses and if necessary, lower division. Actual graduate courses are quite different from undergraduate even covering the same subject matter. Lower division

LLVM was done much later in 2003 at the University of Illinois. More importantly LLVM has its own IR, LLVM IR, which is SSA-based. SSA was proposed in 1988 and Chow's work is from 1983.

That's a few decimal places down from the point. Stewart was sentenced to five months of prison for what was a $45,673 crime which she then later had to repay with interest. She was worth 100s of millions at the time. The point was tha

Is the result different for this benchmark for an ARMv8 cpu with its ~31 registers vs an x86_64 CPU with its ~15 registers? For example, M1 vs Skylake?

At the start of the civil war, I was obliviously bicycling from Milan to Trieste to Ljubljana to Zagreb and was planning on going South to Greece. I was in Ljubljana when Slovenia broke off and could tell something was afoot. I bicycled to

The FA presents a good argument and as a consequence I deleted Google Maps and a few others. I also turned off Location Services for a few apps, notably WhatsApp. I'll try Apple Maps for awhile which in the Bay Area should be a low bar

That isn’t what regulatory capture means. Regulatory capture has to do with industry vs public rather than big co vs little co. Regulatory capture is an economic theory that regulatory agencies may come to be dominated by the interests

I think that's because IBM has a massive portfolio and just treats it statistically in IP cross-licensing negotiations. I had a boss at a company who said they added up theirs and IBM added up theirs, then his company wrote a check to

That would help but self modifying code after a stack smash could still JIT them.

Rome had already been sacked in 410. 16-year old emperor Romulus Augustulus was deposed, but his life was spared which is a better fate than Vercingetorix received at the hands of Caesar. Odoacer installed himself as ruler and the seat of p

You were probably using the more popular vscodevim with its 2.7M installs. Try vscode-neovim with its merely 93K installs. vscode-neovim is designed for and requires neovim 0.5. I hate, hate, hated vscodevim but vscode-neovim is very good

vscode-neovim really depends on nvim 0.5 I was using a neovim 0.5 nightly before this was released. It's not perfect but it's a LOT better than VSCodeVim.

What holds true for the Linux kernel may not hold true for other repos. In this case, the OP is supporting old Linux releases and remarking how naturally cherry picking can work. LLVM by comparison, doesn't have long-term stable releas

Forests are going to burn and anything we do only delays that. However, as you point out, people and structures are worth protecting.
