Was this compiled at O0? The generated code looks unnecessarily long-winded - at the very least I would expect the match jump table to get culled to only the Relaxed implementation.

I have encountered a number of people who exhibit startling hostility at being told something they were already aware of. While I cannot currently recall a specific example, I strongly suspect I have previously felt this way myself. While s

That doesn't really excuse the strange acerbic brevity [that] I and most of my peers default to when writing technical documentation.

I agree that most scenarios are not going to be so perilous. However, GOTO FAIL[1] would fit your C99 foot gun description neatly, with repercussions that would approach the peril of my metaphor within at least an order of magnitude. https

I agree that software engineering isn't exempt from warranting serious introspection as to the world that a given project is enabling. I do not agree that we should simply throw up our collective hands and say "Oh well, everyone i

A wheel is generous. This seems more like inviting the computing equivalent of spilling twenty thousand tons of crude into the sea, which then promptly catch fire.

I sure as fuck did not vote for Ford, directly or by the local MP proxy. However, I will readily acknowledge that at the time of the election that brought the Progressive Conservative party into power, the Ontario Liberal Party was giving o

I'm not sure what your point is here. 1) They don't sell for $3-4 a pack, yet your post seems to imply that the system has failed for cigarettes. 2) For externalities beyond the input cost of a product, the default [natural] condi

It's not clear to me that the counter-party risk is _remotely_ similar between the two offerings. Someone reselling indefinite access to AWS could relatively easily set things up to go "poof" after a few years, whereas if it&

What does "easy" mean in this context? From my [ignorant] reading, it sounds like it requires being able compute a fixed point for the hash function in order to be able to integrate it into the program and respond differently unde

In Ontario, we still have Hydro One as a (the?) primary distributor of electricity outside urban environments. If I remember correctly, Hydro One also serves some parts of the Ottawa area, and their delivery rates were different enough from

I can't speak authoritatively for the OP, but yes, I would expect red sauce to be tomato-based. Compare with "sauce brune" [brown sauce ~= gravy] which is what gets put on poutine.

It's been a long time now, but from what I remember from school, a critical part of the notability of Gabrielle Roy[1] was that she wrote from the perspective of francophones living in the prairies. I appreciate the DHCP-3 is not a mon

This is highly reminiscent of work I was exposed to in grad school on recombining library versions from different binary distributions in an attempt to diversify the attack surface of a system, but at a much more granular level: https:&#x2
