Well, you could mostly solve it by having a compiler target whatever level of indirection required. No need to chain through them all.

What are the pointlessly long names in the CIL ( Common Intermediate Language - CLR assembly )? Most of them are ADD, MUL, DUP, BGT, CALL, LDC.I4, and the like. There are a few localloc, tailcall, volatile, and such but you don’t use them m

Wealth inequality may explain an increase in property crime. I do not follow how a rapid increase in violent crime factors in. Resentment is another motivation I understand but it seems a stretch to attribute baseball bats to the head as be

WINE is Windows APIs running on the Linux kernel ( host OS kernel ). The Linux kernel is already high quality and high performance. ReactOS is Windows APIs running on the from-scratch ReactOS kernel that is not very good. The ReactOS projec

The only sanction that has enough teeth to so anything is to remove Russia from SWIFT. Without Germany’s backing, this will not happen. In addition to boycotting Russia, citizens of the world should be boycotting German products until they

Too bad the ArcaOS guys are not going to share. I read recently that they are adding UEFI support by booting first into a BIOS emulation layer and then starting the still BIOS dependent OS/2 kernel from there. That would work for DOS a

Without data, my default assumption is that there are lots of cases where things are being done wrong that are not in Amazon’s favour. The “directed incompetence” theory assumes that clueless people are being intentionally allowed to be clu

I do not think it classified he/him as a nickname but rather as a synonym for man ( which is pretty accurate if you do not already know ). That is why it later referred to him as “my he/him”. I interpret this to be a personalized

While I agree with you, that is an impressively humble attitude. Having watched some of the early history, you can take at least partial credit for building some of those contributors as well. It was a different time, but Linux did not come

Teams runs on Linux. I had a couple of Teams meetings today and I joined from Manjaro. Or is that not what you meant?

This having to re-write things is obviously Rust’s fatal flaw. I cannot wait for the next great language, the one that brings all Rust’s advantages which is a pure superset so that it can still compile existing code. Surely something like t

How is NIM doing? When I first read your comment I thought you were talking about Zig ( since that is the language that seems to pop up a lot these days ). It took me a second to catch myself. It feels like I have not heard about NIM in age

I remember writing CGI scripts in Perl in 1993 ( the year before Netscape ). I am not sure when CGI even became a thing but it could not have been long before that. Not only was “not so long ago” kind of at the very beginning of meaningful

I have seen this comment a few times but basically half the desktop environments for Linux are GTK. So, using GTK does not equal “re-implementing Gnome”. I use Cinnamon with Manjaro - it is not GNOME but it is GTK. Unity was the same. MATE

Nobody owes more money than the rich. This is true of countries as well. “Wealth” as most people think of it comes from power over money more than from the absolute value of net worth. I had a lot of credit card debt in University. I was th

Apple stops supporting their own hardware all the time. They dropped a bunch of video cards especially in recent releases of the OS. How this translates is by Apple officially dropping support for your whole computer. I guess you consider g

I was going to say that I have not compiled a driver in years but I remember that I did compile a driver in 2020. It was to add support for a Xbox controller so that I could use it to play Steam games on my laptop. It was pretty straight-fo

I am not going to defend the Linux Desktop as there are many legitimate reasons to criticize it ( though the laptop I use the most does run Manjaro ). I must say though that suggesting the average Linux user has to compile their sound card

You can continue to use a Key 2 LE or any of the Android based BB phones.

I believe this impacts BB10 as well. So my beloved Z30 will no longer work. It does not impact any of the BB branded Android phones though.

I am kind of with the post you are responding to. People have all sorts of private opinions. I hate the DMCA and think it represents an extremely dangerous precedent that completely misrepresents why laws like copyright were created in the
