Well, that's not a segfault. It's more likely that it's being compiled with an incorrect/specific architecture (e.g. using AVX2 instructions). Though it really shouldn't be using such instructions for basic math. It

I did the exact same thing, trying for a better LaTeX. But my experience was different: I found it very easy to customize and programmatically generate content. However, I have used Racket and lisps/schemes before, so that is likely th

Those are independent variables. The fact you've had X heads has no bearing on the future flips. It is irrational to bet on tails statistically speaking, though psychologically that line of reasoning is common.

I agree I wish that would be nicer, but I've found the stable_abi crate to be quite convenient/easy for most situations. It is extra work, but with derive support it's often not too bad :)

Yeah I definitely get that. I've never done a puzzle of this type before, but I have done a hell of a lot of logic puzzles (thanks to the Simon Tatham collection among others) so I was able to figure out a good attack vector. I agree,

I just completed it, and can say with certainty that it is solvable by only taking into consideration two constraints at any given time, with the exception of 3 at just one point early on (and they were the easier constraints in the puzzle)

I hope you mean it's not of much practical use to languages that already support macro definitions :) because otherwise, some would consider it very useful to be able to define arbitrary macros/syntactic forms!

I would guess one reason it wasn't done in other languages was because people simply didn't have a good cross-architecture JIT compilation resource, and didn't want to write it themselves. LLVM makes this _really_ easy. I rea

That's funny, I was just thinking this exact same thing the other day. HomeDepot.com has been getting seemingly worse and worse (especially this year if I'm not mistaken), but had to get some stuff from McMaster a few months back

Agreed. They are the compile-time interfaces to templates' compile-time classes (so to speak, though obviously templates aren't limited to classes). I've been wanting them for so long; naturally error messages are better, but

Yeah I was also confused. I wrote a bidirectional parser/writer layer for yaml in a haskell program I had at work. The yaml structure mappings were all declarative in the code and even allowed documentation for the structures to be pri

I always enjoy the Xscreensaver visual that features a juggler with random siteswap patterns. Sometimes they're quite mesmerizing!

mupdf also supports this.

Good is very subjective :) but I've enjoyed using void linux [1] which has runit [2] rather than systemd. I believe a few other distros support runit (albeit maybe not officially), including Arch Linux. [1]: https://voidlinu

I'd love to make it public when it is a bit more thorough. Right now it's just local. I really wanted to get to the point that it's self-hosted before going public, but naturally that's a little involved since it does in

I've been working on a lisp that's strongly typed and basically only has functions that are the llvm C API, including JIT. With that you can build macros, type systems, etc. Basically much of the code you write as a user can be wh

We can never be too certain of anything, but I believe that the carcinogenic claims are based on a faulty study from the 60s that was later largely disproven in the late 70s, but the FDA never changed their guidance. I don't have the d

I used Wt about a year ago for an application at work. I was able to write a GUI program that could be accessed at a web address or with a native Qt application, and Wt was equivalent enough (API-wise) that I was able to template between th

There's a lot of detail and intricacy here (in that you could likely architect a design that didn't really rely on the sort of hierarchy you describe at all), but generally if you wanted something similar to [single] inheritance y

I absolutely encourage exploring and experimenting, but I wouldn't call the current state (even now) of driving those displays easy. I had a few such displays (and have a decent amount of experience with electronics and reverse enginee

I've been out of the React game for a while, and this is the first I've read about Hooks (or at least the first time I read enough to look into them). If I understand things correctly, they are automatic dependency tracking functi

With regard to the rvalue vs perfect forwarding references comment: there's actually no special syntactic difference between the two. The reason forwarding works is because in template <typename T> void do_thing(T&&

This is true, thanks for the specifics. I was answering the question from a more generic perspective, but failed to mention that many implementations rehash on collision...

Yeah I know, it was just the fastest way to indicate that the constant factor was almost definitely larger for HashMaps. But thank you for clarifying!

by afranchuk 7y ago
A BTreeMap should typically have O(n) memory usage, whereas a HashMap (depending on load factor) will usually have O(kn) memory usage, where k > 1. This is because a HashMap allocates the table into which it will store hashed values upfr

If it doesn't, I think one could extend it to work with X forwarding since it seems to be running the applications in a separate X session (just like X forwarding).

Many languages with powerful macro systems can do the same. Still, it's cool/promising to see a .NET language capable of compile-time execution like this when they do not support macros in the same way that other languages do (but

I've been anxiously awaiting modules and concepts. Both are incredibly important to reduce developer burden and improve the development experience. Modules: While it is important to be able to fine-tune linking and compilation in some
