   Fwiw clang has a `clang::optnone` attribute to disable all optimizations on a per-function basis, and GCC has the fantastic `gnu::optimize` attribute which allows you to add or remove optimizations by name, or set the optimization level reg

   Perhaps you are thinking of the My Little Pony fanfiction "Alicorn Time" by author AlicornPriest. https://www.fimfiction.net/story/298141/alicorn-time

   Inline assembly in shaders exists for basically the same reasons it exists in C++. Hardware gains new features much faster than Khronos standardizes an API for them in SPIR-V, so inline assembly lets you use of them ASAP. You might also wan

   Vulkan has some advantages to OpenCL. You gain lower level control over memory allocation and resource synchronization. Rocm has an infamous synchronization pessimization which doesn't exist for Vulkan. You can even explicitly allocate

   Is Omniperf/Omnitrace not very good? I haven't used it, but I have been using Nsight Systems recently and it looks comparable to me at a glance.

   I can't get enough of Ed Zitron. I first found him on the Scam Economy podcast, and now I'm addicted to his blog and appearances on Crypto Critics Corner or any other podcasts.

   Programmers already deal with POSIX-but-not-really any time they deliver software for a Linux. At least this has the same quirks everywhere.

   In my opinion, `__builtin_constant_p()` is not that obscure of a feature. In C, it is used in macros to imitate constant functions, and in C++ it is useful for determining the current alternative that has lifetime in a `union` within a co

   How is it that D and Objective-C++ came up with modules that work and can be used many years ago, yet C++ with much greater stakes fumbled it on almost every level?

    I've been following the commit logs of this for awhile, and I'm really impressed by how active it consistently is. I think most people who aren't deep into Emacs might not realize _how_ monumental a task it is to be competiti

    I'm still waiting for furry artwork to become culturally acceptable in technical lectures. I briefly snuck a cute Lucario/Zeraora drawing into a presentation on my college final, and the critical reception has been promising, so f

    But then you have to be capable of stomaching Dotnet. Modern C++ is the best tool for this job, currently.

    Readers might also be interested in the "spiral honeycomb mosaic" which I found from this article linked somewhere on Stack Overflow years ago. https://paulbourke.net/geometry/tilingplane/

    I've tried it on my own C++ codebase. It's fun, and I'm impressed that it could tell me which C++ standard is used (a question which is often difficult to find an answer to on random codebases), but it's really bad at an

    It is a compiler setting. `-Dint=__INT64_TYPE__`

    They decided kernel-mode graphics isn't a terrible idea, though.

    I'm not certain what "the background color is deprecated" means but I really don't like the sound of that.

    It standardizes existing common practice. Everyone already has `__auto_type` macros, but nearly nobody was using `auto` as a synonym for `int`.

    I honestly can't figure out what this means.

    One big difference between Helix and Kakoune is that Helix has a visual mode, whereas Kakoune only wants chording to extend text regions.

    In 2023, Haiku got Emacs and Vulkan support that makes it much more attractive to me than in the past. But I still feel very reluctant to use something without the industry support that Linux has.

    Why do that with the preprocessor rather than the `--wrap` flag? That's what most malloc libraries do.

    They've been the primary focus of Circle for the better part of a year now. He's demo'd them working many times already.

    Hungarian notation has never been proven to reduce errors compared to strong types, and the CppCoreGuidelines tell you not to use it. clang-tidy can largely automate Hungarian notation, at least.

    Given that Sean Baxter already has lifetimes in Circle that work very similarly to Rust's, I'm skeptical that the very similar D language wouldn't be able to express the same thing.

    In Fish you can still do that. The cwd is a hint to the candidate sorting algorithm, but not a strict requirement.

    Goland and Emacs (with Tree Sitter) can at least generate those automatically for you so they won't be forgotten, fwiw.

    I assume what you really mean by socialism is "democratic socialism" or "market socialism", because they kind of fit your description, but not other "socialism"s like anarcho-syndicalism.
