C# and C/C++ Interop where either can be used or combined for nearly everything Just no! Pick one and stick with it.

No thanks, I like having MSVC available for fast iteration builds-- clang builds too slowly.

Probably not, as all redwoods aside from the Dawn(small thing from China) are from California, perhaps you misheard California as Canada.

MSVC track record is poor, but that isn't relevant to today, it is actually ahead of GCC/Clang for tracking the standard if anything. You can use both MSVC/Clang-CL.. The primary reason I find to still use MSVC is that it co

It has solid hardware for the price, but if I was forced to pick one I'd get a Switch, hardware specs don't matter that much. This thing has many things working against it.. 1. Games were designed for Windows, but are now running

1. You can disable auto updates 2. I've never entered an email for using Windows 10, they do try to hide it but you can set up an offline account.

Are Americans really fluffy? Many of the questions people perceive as fluffy aren't actually questions... How you doing? etc that isn't a question and you aren't supposed to give a detailed response- it is basically just

Measurements of what? What if swap out my GPU? Or RAM?

I noticed Rust added unicode support for writing code recently, does anyone know if it can be disabled per crate? I don't think having symbols that cannot be typed or pronounced is such a good idea..

Slicing requires you to treat a reference type as a value type, nobody who knows C++ does this, so slicing is pretty much restricted to people coming in from Java land or similar. I've not encountered a single instance of slicing in 1

Looks interesting, if very far from practical-- too bad it requires a "DGX" station to train It seems to flicker/fade things in alot, like the random poles that keep appearing and disappearing, it seems like there is not eno

consteval isn't really obscure or confusing, it does more or less what you would expect based on the name. There are plenty of esoterically templates shenanigans in C++ but this isn't one of them.

That isn't floating points fault, but whoever wrote the buggy parser.. Floating point is overall pretty good, sometimes I wish there was a version without some many ways to store NAN(for 16 bit floats it is so wasteful), and maybe ver

I've noticed wikipedia also seems to have censored the tiananmen square massacre to some degree. If you look it up it is now referred to as the "tiananmen square protests", and contains none of the famous photos you might ex

I grew up in a remote part of northern California, and I can assure you that every so often a military jet would would fly right over our house at super sonic speeds(and very low altitude, barely above the tree tops). It was mind numbingly

No that is not how it is done, the math is written directly in C++. If you have fast iterative build times, lots of assertions, and good debugger there is no reason to waste time writing it in another language first. Almost every system us

I use operator overloading in C++ all the time, you seem to be looking at it from a data science perspective, but other fields use math also, such as gamedev.

by TinkersW 6y ago
Zigs lack of operator overloading means math code will be illegibly gibberish, which kills any possible interest I had in it.

Your example fails to point out why AMD and Apple are able to compete despite having smaller vector widths, and no it isn't because "SIMD just really doesn't matter". It is because AMD and Apple have wider architectur

It isn't evenly distributed and the US doesn't have one culture, plenty of Americans never encounter much religion, particularly in the Western US which is overall less religious.

What I'd like is the ability to slowly switch newer parts of the codebase from C++ to Rust, with seamless interop between the two languages(IDE/Debugger/Profiler), but this is likely a pipe dream, and without this capability

Have you not seen much modern C++? If you are used to this style of C++, Rust is a very obvious variant of it, but with more static guarantees with regards to safety. Working heavily with types has been common in C++ for a couple decades

You either have a fan named tesla_fan_88, who reposted the exact same comment, or are some kind of robo? tesla_fan_88 is brand new so I think maybe they stole your msg..

Pretty strange that nobody at Rockstar bothered to run the games loading phase in a profiler, this problem would have been super easy to observe if they had.

You are forgetting that drinking milk was beneficial(lots of extra calories for example), this obviously outweighed the downside of lactose intolerance.

Good, I remember wanting to submit a tiny patch but then giving up because I couldn't be bothered to make sense of the system they were using(and I use mercurial for my personal stuff).

Logic is literally a toolkit for dealing with BS, and can be taught in one semester, so no it would not take 12 years. Make it a required class in high school.

by TinkersW 6y ago
Teach logic in school so people can recognize fallacious arguments, it will also help combat the barrage of nonsense spread by China & Russia as most of it rests upon logical fallacies(Whataboutism is a prime example).

That is your idea of a balanced article? Yikes..
