You can jump into real mode from long mode, but you can't run real mode programs while inside long mode.

Which, unless people are literally paid in physical gold coins, also doesn't help.

by Locke1689 10y ago
It wouldn't. Don't believe what you read on the internet about money. The goldbugs are a vocal minority, not taken seriously in real economics discussions.

The Pacific Northwest is badly non-representative of most of America, especially the east coast.

As a Kirkland resident, I think that's a fair criticism, but I'm also reticent to say that each city should try to build their own infrastructure to deal with the problem. I definitely support the Seattle-area cities working toget

It's definitely not great right now -- that's why we're trying to make it better. :) I would definitely still advocate using the right tool for the job, though. If the vast majority of your application would be best written i

NT's approach to async IO is at least somewhat empirically better as it does not require an extra context switch between receiving a "ready" event and actually performing the IO operation.

To be fair, there are some limitations around stack maps that make certain things difficult (see [1] for an example), but I agree that there's nothing stopping them from just providing patches or feature requests to LLVM to improve sta

However, the Roslyn language services are open source, which is what currently powers the C#/VB IDE services in Visual Studio and Omnisharp (optionally).

There are definitely some people who prefer to use TFS and some teams (like .NET) that are heavily invested in Git. And yes, we call TFVC TFS all the time :)

by Locke1689 11y ago
It's also potentially faster and more efficient than goroutines, because it packs the state to be shared on context switches into what is typically a very tight structure instead of saving the entire stack. I'm sure you already

That's a problem with addition, period, not type promotion. Adding a 64-bit and 32-bit integer and promoting the 32-bit integer to 64-bit doesn't produce any problems that you won't have adding two 32-bit integers together or

.NET is JIT'd in its most popular form, the .NET Framework. Python is interpreted in what was its most popular form, but may not be now, CPython. This is using the definition of a JIT as an execution engine which takes in some form of

You have an account only 947 days old. While I can attest that HN has always had a significant amount of startup stuff, that was nowhere near the entirety of the site. I remember when the front page was filled entirely with Erlang articles,

It seems far more likely that you do not, actually. There are thousands of extremely intelligent people working in finance with a lot of domain knowledge -- in the case that something as widely publicized and easily studied as bitcoin is no

Side question: is it normal in French to stylize the title as "lemonde"? It would be strange in English, to my eyes, to refer to a newspaper whose name was "The World" as theworld.

I agree -- numerous people working on .NET at Microsoft have mentioned that they wish issues could support more things.

by Locke1689 11y ago
Totally understandable -- a lot of this stuff is really new, so we've fallen a bit behind on documentation, partially because we're not exactly sure how some stuff should work, so we don't want to mislead people. The dotnet

No VB yet, but that's just because I haven't had time to do it yet -- VB is trivial to add support for. In fact, the package I used for the compiler binaries contains the csc + vbc compilers, so it's literally just shoveling

I work on Roslyn and would love to use Vim for all my editing but you're right -- the UI-blocking extension model Vim has just does not work. I also have high hopes for NeoVim.

The performance is hard, but the bug-for-bug compatibility is what will kill you.

Ah, sorry, I know nothing about Yeoman -- I'm only familiar with console applications :)

Did you try https://dotnet.github.io/getting-started/ ? Can I help with getting it running?

What's confusing about [1]? I'm not on the ASP.NET team, but may be able to provide some general guidance.

Agreed -- Vim-mode is my #1 feature ask. I would prefer compat with the Atom Plugin API so I could just use that.

Cool! What's the Go memory model look like? Is it stricter than ARM or could possibly working programs be broken when run there?

I think there are two schools of thought: 1) Perf for a product should be marked against some shipping benchmark and intermediate regressions don't matter as long as we come below the benchmark at ship time. 2) Perf improvements should

I specifically excluded SPY in the last paragraph as a "productive" investment, but only for the sake of argument -- I admit I'm inclined to agree with you that even passive investment of this type is productive. I think the

The parent I think is clearly going down the wrong road. Almost by definition, if you've heard of the person to cite then they have an outsized impact on wealth circulation. The people to look at are, say, Peter Oppenheimer, former CFO
