The only union experience I have was that the whole concept of performance based compensation was something to fight to the teeth (in France, 12y ago). The pay structure was almost exclusively seniority-based.

"on top of the current master" is limiting: how do you handle concurrency? I.e. two developers kicking tests on their PR on top of current master, everything green, but they merge and the result of their merge is not building (or

Did you miss that you can scroll the right button on the wheel to adjust the cruise set speed? Or did I misunderstand your issue?

"quality of living" is all relative, I'm from France and one of the reason I don't want to go back is that I don't want to live in Paris (and outside of Paris the job opportunities aren't really there). With my

The problem is still the context in which cinebench would be ran. There are so many variable on a complex system that "the microcode killed cinebench perf" could very well be an over simplification of "the microcode in conjun

If the worker are so important to the business, then they already have power and they don’t need directors. My impression of similar system in France where unions attempt to represent the worker was rather bitter. They act in the interest o

I’m puzzled by what you mean here: you refer to an x87 instruction, which makes me think it is assembly/binary level and then you’re saying that a library function is called. Where is the magic? Is there an x86 feature where you can in

I'm not an expert in keyboard, I'm just a software developer that spends a bunch of time in front of a computer: I had some adjustment period to the new keyboard but now I'm used to it and it feels perfectly fine. What is the

Having worked on a floor with individual (or dual) offices, and now being in an open-space for over a year, I personally feel a lot more collaborative in an open-space environment.

I'm curious (and ignorant): how can Europe fine an organization like ICANN? I can imagine that they can forbid them to do any business in Europe if they don't pay their fine, anything else? If it come to this, what does it mean fo

The law is about transistors I believe, not about frequency or performance, isn’t it?

Still: the kernel won’t schedule threads that are waiting on I/O i believe.

ACC is a different feature that exists separately: it does not touch the steering.

I stayed a few years for a few reasons, first because it is still a good company with a “real” product, and also because 99% of my time there was spent working on open-source (clang/llvm). When I decided to quit, it was in part because

It is hard to find something that can't somehow be considered to compete with Apple. And in CA you can be let go for no reason, so... For example, I couldn't get approval to contribute patches to a gallery plugin for Wordpress tha

Talking of Apple Clang as a crippled compiler comes across as very uneducated opinion to me. It goes through an extensive validation / stabilization for many months before being released. So yes it adds some delay in getting new shiny

Exactly what happened in LLVM as well: let make it explicit what the expectations have always been and how everyone (most) already behave! https://llvm.org/docs/CodeOfConduct.html

I very much empathize with Code of Conduct, and as many I regret that it is necessary to have to make explicit what seems fairly obvious. On a tangent though, I feel the word "harassment" is now generalized and used for any "

The thing is that your premise is about two opposing sides: the employee and the employer. In this case sure, HR represents the employer, it isn't supposed to be some sort of independent council. On the other hand, HR is involved in mo

Pushing this way of thinking about it, you could also say that a raid from the police is useless in general since a judge can simply send a request compelling the company to turn over the evidence in the first place.

No sure I get the question: static_assert can only invoke constexpr functions, and constexpr functions can only call themselves other constexpr functions. Since IO functions are not constexpr, you can't call them there.
149.
by Joky 9y ago
No: the purpose of constexpr is that the compiler would issue an error if a constexpr function contains such side-effects.
