No, it does not. There's plenty of subtle implementation differences between x86 CPUs of the same manufacturer. Usually different generations, but it's enough to mess up meteorology.

... what floating point determinism? Sorry, couldn't help myself. Even in the cases where it's deterministic, the implementation differences across hardware AND software make such a prospect downright hilarious to me.

I'm not too active in the Temple because of work, but you will only generally find atheists, agnostics, or at worst "woo lords" in TST. Such irrational thought is frowned upon by TST, so it is discouraged. TST does lean a bit

I'm a secular Satanist. I believe Christianity and Abrahamic religions are inherently unethical. I have very strong utilitarian principles that run even deeper, which is ultimately what pushed me to Satanism. I'm a member of the S

May the Dark Lord remove the veil from your eyes and show you the true malevolence of the one you call God. Hail Satan!

My advice is for the OP to make his build system GPLv3 licensed and sue anyone who willfully violates that license. Open source still has lots of life left in it, but copyleft licenses are now increasing in importance, and the days of letti

No password authentication? That's a problem to me. I use keys for everything serious, but sometimes I want to have a Raspberry Pi with the root password "derp". :^(

Rust is a good language overall, but it has some serious flaws that it seems those in control of Rust have no interest in fixing. For example, it is possible to make the borrow checker accept self-referential structures, but nobody has done

I'll throw my Arkanoid/breakout clone written in C and ncurses into the mix. https://universe2.us/bricktick.html

Lol. Yeah that totally sounds like a great idea that is going to end super well and not backfire at all!

Good. If Rust's management falls apart, the language will become more decentralized, like it should be. I was always very, very nervous having a systems language totally controlled by only one organization. Hopefully this will result i

I really like Python. It's what I reach for when I need something working quickly. I have a whole folder of one-off python scripts I wrote over years that I occasionally still use. For very large projects, however, I advise against it.

Well considering the author of the article also authored a series of "Hopepunk" books that she shamelessly plugs at the end of the article, I think I'll be staying with my cynical misanthropy, since she just validated it. Tha

And this is why I'm never going to move to Europe. My jokes would be considered "obscene" or "indecent" or something and I'd be thrown in prison. At least here in the States, for now, the government is letting

Or you could just be sincere and genuine, and leave the Machiavellian mind games up to the corpses of the questionable philosophers. I work for a small company that makes video servers, I'm the lead developer currently. I still end up

I see where you're coming from, and I can see that being true, but that has a steep price that I personally am not willing to pay. Objective truth matters to me a lot, and if I'm a bit more of a downer because of it, so be it. Jus

You're an interesting man, if a bit grandiose. I'm currently stoned, so I'll ask a weird question. What about us doomsayers who know in their hearts that it'll all fall apart in the end, but are cognizant that they thems

I personally prefer QtWebSockets. I've used libwebsockets before, but I found the API error prone and crusty, and ended up eventually converting it to QWebSockets. That turned out to be a good move.

Of course we are! It's been obvious for years, at least to anyone in my circle. Even my boss has said as much. We can feel it in our bones. Things are getting worse, not better, and it's accelerating. We did this to ourselves, wit

I write Rust too. I like Rust for the mostpart, though there's some issues with the language that really wind me up, mostly to do with the unsafe/safe code boundary. If you want full control and easier interfacing with the OS, C++

C++ has plenty of issues, but it's really not that bad, especially modern C++. It's a huge language with tons of features, many of which you'll never use, but as far as writing C++, really not that bad. I've written

Sorry, I was getting a bit frustrated, because I kept repeating my position, and you kept saying it affected semantics, whereas if it's UB either way, it hasn't really affecting semantics officially. Yeah I'm done too. I don&

by Subsentient 5y ago
Yes, it is about optimization. By your own admission, rustc allows you to set -C opt-level, and that would probably change semantics to the desired, but at significantly worse performance. You don't seem to understand the concept of un

Again, UB is UB, and if the author of said program wrote it to rely on -fno-strict-aliasing in gccrs, that's probably bad code. It doesn't mean, however, that -fno-strict-aliasing isn't useful. The truth of the matter is that
