You seem to be quite focused on latency. Latency is not necessarily something you care about. For coarse grained logistics information, for example, it doesn't really matter if the push notification arrives a few tens or hundreds of mi

You can implement delete operations by marking fragments as deleted. That way you can still refer to them from a positional perspective, but they will eventually disappear. The exact behavior depends on the implementation, the only requirem

If struct copies are you problem you can always pass it by ref, so even that isn't an easy claim to make.

Unfortunatelly, the video is incomplete. The presenter explains what Peterson said and shows a video of his reaction to the accusations. What is missing is the actual video snippet of Peterson performing the fallacy - i.e. show me what Pete

In strong typing you don't have to (See type inference). It just means that the shape of the data/object you receive is known to you. That a lot of languages force you to write it out is not an inherent property of strong typing.

When the facts change, I consider changing my mind. Albeit nitpicky, not every changed fact forces a different conclusion.

Isn't this just utf8 without information on how many of the following bytes belong to the glyph?

This is why I encouraged the choice of configuration, as can bee seen in the paragraphs below your citation. The intended message of my comment is that different people prefer different things. Modal windows and how they interact with the u

Depending on my use-case I strongly prefer a modal. A new tab would be highly disruptive, if I just wanted a glimpse over the content. This is yet another instance of optimizing for something that can not be made perfect. Let me decide what

I'd assume this is in relation to how much other operations cost. With 'git clone' you at least download the whole repository. Compare that to 'git fetch', which is essentially a lookup at the last-modified timestam

A java cast is fundamentally different from a c cast, if thats what you're aiming at. In C, you ask the compiler to treat a memory location differently (in some cases it also implies a conversion), while in java you ask the compiler to

You can emulate partial function application. You also always need to supply some kind of "this" if you don't want your data to live in static memory.

The latter does not require any name mangling. Any function that is called, was first created by the programmer. You might not like it, but it certainly fits any C code that wants to interface with other languages. Furthermore, I could only

This post has an introduction that is noteworthy of its disrespect towards proponents of unsigned integers. "Oftentimes it’s a novice coming from C/C++ or C# who has worked with unsigned types before, or one who wants to guarant

Sure, let's just skip on the minor details that modern computation rests on. Who needed that anyway. Although I do agree that repeating the basics on every post is cumbersome, it seems adequate for this post.

His code does translate relatively straightforward into haskell. Do you think haskell is a low-level language, too? Take Listing 27, getAreaUnion for example: f32 const CTable[Shape_Count] = {1.0f, 1.0f, 0.5f, Pi32}; f32 GetAreaUnion

More targeted training won't do good, but why wouldn't more search help? We've apparently entered the stage where the deciding factor between who wins, man or machine, is just an arms race.

I started using thunderbird half a year ago and like the interface. Sure, there's problems (I haven't encountered a lot of them), but the overall user experience is far better than what I'm used to from other email programs.

static and dynamic refers to where you find an object, not when it lives. Some people like to know which type of meta programming is being used at a given point. This is something akin to "all dynamic code generation is meta programmin
