If you read the OP again carefully, you'll see that you can use offset arrays for every array you make and suffer no performance penalty, because the offset is compiled away. And the development overhead is a single library import call

Windows does this too, except it hides them in it's system folders, it even comes with a built in clean-up script you can run. Not a problem that is worse on *nix.

I think he is implying they could do better as the founders and stewards of these systems. But I don't think he is directly calling them out.

Yea, but they can charge any amount of money for it. The market is so small, that they can charge arbitrary profit for the best headset in the market. They also make all the peripheral and headset prerequisties and components, so when peopl

I think you are almost right. Today they aren't a high quality product, however 30 years ago they were. The journals just did rent-seeking behavior, cutting staff that made the journals high quality. Piracy didn't ruin them thou

That would probably be difficult. Ending their sovereignty is not a solution that's feasible (it would likely take a constitutional convention, and agreement from the tribes in question, else we would basically have just invaded them l

I think they go back to the early telegraph based off of observations of static on the wire and other related problems (a telegraph was basically a giant inductor).

Why? Being able to repair a device doesn't mean being able to circumvent anti-theft features; mechanics would be morally obligated to report a device brought in for repairs with such a lock activated.

It provides IR, low level optimization passes, native code generation, and common metadata features (e.g. for debugging). Rust probably has a library somewhere that binds to it. So you would have to write linking (with help from LLVM), ASTs

A lot of people in this thread seem to believe people should remain ignorant of technology. How many people understand how a car or airplane works - at least in theory? A technology recruiter should be able to know this (or at least pick it

I agree to an extent, however I think this is just a part of it. The other part is that these companies are these mega corporations that have more money and power than many countries and they aren't accountable to the people but to t
