>The key thing to understand is that if you use these flags, you opt-in to a non-standard C dialect. This is not true. The C Standard explicitly states that a conforming implementation is welcome to provide well defined semantics to beha

Your question wasn't specific though. A specific question would be how fast does light travel in a vacuum. When I asked it that specific question it replied in two sentences.

Boost has its uses and in many cases it's an improvement over the standard library, but performance isn't one of its key properties. Some parts of boost are about as fast as they can be, but that's the exception.

This is not pedantic at all. Aliasing issues are really subtle and hinder so many optimizations. It's not clear that there is a way to even fix this without substantially breaking backwards compatibility.

That's true for a steady-state wave, and hence this model is accurate for a steady-state light wave. But if you were to consider short pulses of light then there is no longer a relationship between the group velocity and phase velocity

You would certainly see an apparent slowdown due to phase shift if you consider a continuous wave that spans the entire medium, yes for sure and so this explanation and model does have merit, I don't want to dismiss it entirely. But th

Phase kicks don't change the speed of a wave. If you setup a similar experiment with sound or water where you constructed an interference pattern that kicked back the phase of the wave, the wave wouldn't slow down. If you want an

To be clear there are numerous explanations for why light slows down in a medium and they are almost all incorrect in one way or another. This video uses the explanation that light interacts with electrons in a medium which causes the elect

It's very hard to properly contextualize the number, however. For example it's true that the total number of deaths only increased by about 10-15% during COVID which is not trivial but also not a catastrophe either... however, you

I'd say a lot of this is a form of survivorship bias. I've programmed in C++ since the mid 90s so I am used to a lot of C++'s issues, but I also run a company and have to train new engineers and I see first hand the absolute

>First of all, every finite number is computable by definition. You likely mean every integer or rational is computable (although not by definition). There are finite real numbers that are not computable, in fact most of them are not.

I suppose it's not too clear to me what you mean then, but of course this is an abstract topic so that's to be understood. A size just by itself is meaningless, if I said I have Aleph_0 units of happiness well for all you know I c

Can you rephrase your question? Why would someone consider the reals to be bigger than what, Aleph_1? I'd say the majority of mathematicians consider the reals to be bigger than Aleph_1, including both Kurt Godel (believed it to be equ

No the size of the real numbers is not well defined. To be well defined means that there is an unambiguous interpretation of a proposition. The fact that the continuum hypothesis is independent of the usual axioms of set theory means that t

I watched the video and the video does not in any way attempt to debunk Godel's proof. I think moreso it just shows that Godel's proof is not as significant or as relevant as many people make it out to be, and on the whole I'

How does this in any way deter crypto, if anything it strengthened it. Binance continues to operate, Zhao won't face any actual penalty and continues to be a billionaire. Seems to me like Binance and crypto is the winner here.

It's absolutely pertinent to this discussion, this whole discussion is about whether the GIL is part of the semantics of a Python program or not. My position is that it is because the GIL is a part of the CPython reference implementati
