Perhaps http://voidtools.com/support/everything/ would interest you, I now use it all the time and my mind is blown by the fact that NTFS and (ReFS) has these features but Microsoft doesn't expose a nice GUI

This is why I said it's (seemingly) an independent effort. I've seen JSLinux before and heard of Fabrice Bellard before due to QEMU, TCC and FFmpeg. The one in my comment is done by another person named Fabian Hemmer. I'm not

In Poland in some areas of the government owned energy/coal mining sectors there are/were actual 'employment inheritance' clauses in place to let candidates from families of current or past workers get employment before

What did you do exactly and on how much input data? Do you have that Rust and Python code available somewhere or is it too sensitive? I'm very tempted to compare that with LuaJIT and/or its FFI[0] (just to use structs, not to call

It's fairly less popular (it might have to do with high price) but nowhere near 'marginal'[0]: http://static5.businessinsider.com/image/58d04a02112f701f008... It's also supposedly (I can't reme

That's not a counterpoint but a confirmation of the first part of the original argument. You just listed two examples of such apps that fail to influence America despite being huge in other countries. To make a counterpoint you need to

I'm impressed. It seems to be in total working order when trying out collectgarbage, __gc and __mode[0]. Code: print(_VERSION) local a = setmetatable({}, {__mode = 'v'}) local b = setmetatable({}, {__gc = function(x)

That was just an example of such a line since I know only Polish constitution. I know that everything legal is open to really wide and crazy interpretations already but if there weren't such a line to interpret there would be no chance

Are you sure? I was made to take off my fish fur ushanka once on an European airport even though it had no metal in it and didn't cover my face, they were just overzealous (and it only happened once out of 3-6 checks in airports I wore

There might be problems with the laws still. I.e. Polish constitution has 'Public authorities shall not acquire, collect nor make accessible information on citizens other than that which is necessary in a democratic state ruled by law.

Having a public broadcaster means nothing. We (Poland) also have one but the quality of their websites and TV channels was always painfully average and since 2015 it's outright propaganda.

Whether or not 'Delphi/Object Pascal' includes the largely compatible Lazarus + LCL + Free Pascal combo is a very big question here. Just 'Delphi' would be clearer, FPC refers to itself as an 'Open source compi

Hash by strictest definition is just a function that maps any input to fixed size output. There is a special subcategory of hashes that are locality sensitive and change a little when input changes a little, just like there is a special sub

If you or someone can't come and point out that 'obviously wrong something' then don't say that just because a comment got downvoted for some bizarre reason. That same comment now has 11 points. I hope it didn't now

LuaJIT is where I originally ran into this. It uses both NaN tagging with C doubles and tagged pointers with 64 bit pointers.

Yes, this presentation. I mistakenly thought it had to be a GDC one because it was about games.

The compiler cannot reorder the fields. This stuff comes up occasionally in optimizing layout of language VM structures, compilers, in the Linux kernel and other low level situations. I.e. JVM compressed object pointers rely on the alignmen

What are the alignment requirements for one there though? Unaligned access can come with performance cost or be impossible on 16 and 32 bit machines for some cases (I don't know all the details for ARM and x86) but I'd assume (I d

It literally said that this is a video of 'dry scotch pine tree fire' at the start, wet things of course don't burn as easily.

Some Christmas trees are fake plastic ones, not real trees, I have no idea how they'd burn. I guess leaving one unattended with lights on it is always a bad idea.

If everyone uses switches or computed goto[0] then I assume there is a reason for using that over portable and easy to understand (compared to huge function that switch causes or the compiler specific computed goto) array of function pointe

I believe NetBeans only spell checks comments and other 'real' language text (git commit messages?), not code itself. I'd imagine other IDEs to do the same. It's really silly if some IDE spell checks code and marks camel
