Yes. The non-capturing case is equivalent to a static function for both lambdas and GCC nested functions.

This article somehow omits the 80% of both the complexity and the benefits of the GCC nested functions which makes them pointless. Namely you can cast them to function pointers and pass them e.g. as a comparator to the sort() routine. Subst

100%. The detection/configuration of hardware just worked out of the box. It's a must-have for a livecd and still a reeeealy nice-to-have for your permanent install back then.

A thought but maybe switch to the Idiot instead. I think of all the Dostoyevsky works the Brothers is the least enjoyable one. Keep it to the end or else it may suffocate your interest and prevent you from reading some of his greater works.

Well if France could build reactors in the 70s-90s, then Germany could have done it in 2000s, right? It's not an alien technology. Instead they chose to pour money into wind and solar and ended up with: * higher CO2 emissions * higher

What's the stunt? France built reactors for modest cost and phased out coal. Germany wasted enormous amounts of money on green energy and made very little progress. Which country is more "green"? Which technology is more &quo

People who do HPC in C actually wish C had proper arrays like Fortran. If your function takes two pointers as inputs instead of two arrays they can alias the same memory and in fact they may alias any other pointer of the same type. Writing
