Seconded, Doom Emacs is such a huge QoL improvement over the DYI solution with a basic Emacs. (I did use the upstream vanilla Emacs, but the pain of LSP support, etc. etc. was just too much until I tried Doom Emacs... and suddenly Emacs i

> Since it's not via change-set ids, then does it keep track of related commits in a branch? It is via changeset-Ids correlating to individual commits. The changeset-Ids only serve as a permanent identifier to individual commits.

No, each commit has its own changeset ID. The chain itself is tracked by Gerrit itself. I don't know exactly how, put I'm guesssing it's just using the regular git commit IDs for that. (The changeset ID is just so that it c

Just curious about the mention of persistent data structures. Is this about the FP notion of persistent data structures (which I suspect) or on-disk data structures? Or both? :) I find that (FP) persistent data structures are like a super-p

I'm so sad that so few test frameworks/libraries offer mutation testing. (And its profiling cousin Causal Profiling.) Admittedly the some languages might make them very hard to do, but the payoff would be so, so sweet.

It honestly sounds like a lot of conflating "learning/recognizing X" for "experiences X" (even going so far as to invent a new word, qualia, for that)... which just seems like a bizarre distinction to me.

Fundamentally, even ignoring the ethical problems, eugenics doesn't work. The interactions between nature and nurture, genetics, epigenetics, etc. are waaaay to complex (and even multi-generational) to boil down to a simple decision to

Not that std::sort can take advantage of it (AFAIK), but a three-way comparison (spaceship) operator <=> was added to C++20.

AFAIUI the company behind SQLite (Hipp & co.) have basically endless funding. Not unlimited, just a good enough budget and not likely to end soon. That's also a big factor.

I feel we've just rediscovered why appeals to grammar[0] don't actually solve much of anything. (Not saying you're appealing to grammar, just that grammar is generally not that useful for discerning... anything really.) Anywa

Yeah, the 'why' often literally doesn't exist as information in the code anywhere, e.g. business rules, domain-specific knowledge, etc. If you're extremely lucky it might exist as 'why comments' :) I do wonder

I'm not saying it's proof or anything. It is evidence that it's likely to be very hard (if not impossible).

IIRC the Chromium devs have investigated and thought a lot about this and the TL;DR is: They don't believe it can be done. (I'd be inclined to take their word on it over Bjarne's.) I'm not sure this is where I originally

(See other replies also, but just to add:) Given that this is an issue for some people (the reasons don't really matter) simply amending the message to 'Hey, are you available to talk *about X* ?' shouldn't be a big deal

As far as I understand it /usr/bin/env is the only reliable path for "env", i.e. specified by POSIX.

A couple of things I can think of off the top of my head: Since the compiler knows that certain things are UB using signed offers better (often significantly better) optimization opportunities then using unsigned. Plus, you get to use UBSan

Yes, it's true, and the split is also painful in Haskell. The split exists in Haskell for a choice few data structures where it truly matters for performance -- it also exists for Set/Map. (And I'd argue it is actually a bad
