Thanks, I am definitely happy with the name.

Anything in particular your curious about? For a few similar things: * It can Yield from anywhere * You can push data on the stack when creating a co-routine * It has a slot for local storage in the coroutine (the library you linked calls i

No problem. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

This is one reason I hate locked down hardware like iDevices, and the whole App store model. If there were not these central points of control such a thing would infeasible to implement. Banning a company like Apple from distributing an App

Just bring back XUL based extensions. I miss how customizable firefox was during those days.

I agree for instance gcc's vector size attribute works just fine in C. For instance I could declare a type like this: typedef uint32_t myVec __attribute__((vector_size(16))); and then when using that type in C, gcc alot times will do a

Well we have only ever measured the round trip speed of light. Our current understanding of physics seems definitely imply the one way speed should be the same, but we have not been able measure it. If it some reason does turn out to be dif

Yea, that's what I was thinking. Should have just added the word flavour or similar.

The chips using preliminary/draft specs are annoying. However RISC-V has allocations dedicated in the ISA for vendor specific instructions which is fine. Code that does not use such extensions runs just fine

I don't use windows as much I used to anymore, but this is my experience as well. Mainly, been using linux for the past 4 years. However, I say part of the problem is that windows updates are pushed out in a big blob instead the update

This is honestly my biggest problem with Rust. C is a small language where the std libraries and language are defined in hundreds of pages. C++ last I checked in the latest standard was getting to almost 2000 pages. Rust does not have a def

Rust is not exactly a C replacement. Definitely the better choice these days over C++ in my opinion if you can use rust. It can be made to function more like C with #![no_std]. However that is an even less than batteries included experience

Like a fusion reactor can be used as a neutron source to effectively make a breeder reactor. However, most countries can dig up rocks out of the ground with radioactive isotopes that can act as a neutron source. However, this has legitimate

Yea very curious as well would need to dig a little deeper. If it's the beam energy it means we need more efficient lasers or to scale larger to overcome the energy losses from making a laser beam. Still even if it's just the beam

This post makes me wish more research was done on exo-kernels: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exokernel The concept makes dealing with some the topics in this post much more logical and easier in my opinion.

In my opinion good abstractions layers should also have a way to peel things back like layers of onion. Taking the authors example of a TCP network stack you often can't do though since OS won't let you have that low level of acce

There are composite shingles rated for hurricane winds. Although for that rating nail placement is critical. Sadly the most common screwed up thing on roof installs is nail placement. This can lead to leaks in 5+ years generally. However, i

On most machines this days there is not really a performance difference between the math done on signed or unsigned integers. The only case would be if your wanting to the compiler to optimize on the fact that UB does exist. So like this in

I kinda disagree, I still find GCC's code generation better a lot of times. I have seen Clang generate some pretty crazy code. While this is a different than warning you about errors it still is an important aspect of compiler. Having

This probably just an example, but why are they using a signed int for indexing???

Apple will won't honor their warranty if you jailbreak your phone which is kinda similar to modding the firmware on ECU. Do you think car companies are going to be any different if they can get away with it. In the case of Apple it&#x2

Technically, yes in the US, but that does not mean that they can't still deny you claiming a modification did it. You could then take them to court but here's the rub there. Consider, how much just a single lawyer cost per hour I

"IMHO, both C++ and Rust feel too much like puzzle solving ("how do I solve this problem in C++ " or "how do I solve this problem in Rust ?"), when writing C code, the programming language disappears and it simply
