One thing that bothers me is, can I rely on the compiler making those optimisations? Which ones are guaranteed for me? Those are sort of important considerations, because it can mean the difference between a linear fibs and a quadratic fibs

Don't Futures do pretty much the same thing?

Weird how the article keeps reusing the word "paradox". I don't think it means what they want it to mean. The paradox of work is that many people hate their jobs, but they are considerably more miserable doing nothing. - if

Given that kdbus support was merged[1] in mainline systemd, I feel the situation is one of "I see you're not merging my friend's patches... would be a shame if the only remaining implementation of init would support only slow

I keep hearing we're crazy hostile and I don't see it. I have a crazy wonky linux setup and when games don't work, I don't flame the devs on messageboards. I even have a crazy wonky setup on windows - having a display wi

Unfortunately, Oculus removed Linux&OSX support. Or at least put it on indefinite life-unsupport. https://www.oculus.com/en-us/blog/powering-the-rift/

Sure, but none of the engineers who work for John Deere would ever be allowed to publish their developments, nor would they get any public recognition for them.

I never had issues with dizziness ... until games started using an over-the-shoulder camera. Basically, if the character is too far removed to the side, I stop connecting my input with their movement. It feels like I'm here and there&#

It's a hundred people lifting a bus in a coordinated action to help. That's something remarkable and we should have examples of it documented. As you can see, it ended on a news article about one hundred people lifting a bus in a

Take it to its logical conclusion - statically compile the kernel in each executable. Build the task scheduler in the CPU. Make every program run on pure bare metal.

How about "the car slams on the breaks and swerves towards the more distant object". That's a simple algorithm with no morality issues. In general, building morality into machines is a very perilous proposition.

I liked the story with the robot on Mercury running in circles, because it couldn't go closer to a lake from which it was tasked with taking a sample without being destroyed by the heat, but couldn't go back, because it would mean

His theory may be bunk, but it ties into something that's been bugging me for a while. How come every recorded or reconstructed earlier version of every language spoken today is more complex than the contemporary version? It's c

The thing I'm most concerned with is that the syntax is fucked. A T& should be an Arc<RefCell<T>>, i.e. the most permissible thing, and you should have to wrap it in other things to remove capabilities, rather than ad

One thing that bugs me about this, is that a lot of theorems seem to be formulated backwards. To give an example: Theorem 9.1. Let f be a continuous real-valued function. Let y be a real number. Let b ≤ c be real numbers with f(b) ≤ y ≤ f(c

If you're taking things like that back in time, make sure to translate them to French. Also, learn French. Not knowing French in the 17th century is like not knowing English today.

Nah, there's a pretty big difference (mentally) between SO and Instagram. You put your code on SO with the intention of giving it to someone else, potentially many others. That's the entire point in SO and it's pretty clear f

MacOS should come with a layout that's the same as the AltGr-international on linux - normal QWERTY, but AltGr(right alt) is used to type "international" letters, i.e. RAlt+y = ü, RAlt+q = ä, RAlt+p = ö, RAlt+s = ß and more (

I use the TECK and I love it. One suggestion for buyers: put Ctrl on the right space and Enter on the right Ctrl. And if you're an Emacs user, Alt or Escape on the Enter in the middle.

Ugh, but that leaves little CPU time for actual game logic. This new trend of devs sacrificing gameplay in order to push more colours to the screen is ludicrous. Next year they'll just be selling games that have no actual gameplay, but

Java class names are like Haskell function types. In fact, there are libraries that can autogenerate implementations for database logic by the name of the interface and methods alone, much like you can guess what the function does just by t

Presuming that you wouldn't invoke mv nanoseconds before creating the symlink, I think mv should resolve the symlink first and, if the move doesn't make sense, abort. It will still need to handle the case where it looks like the m

My ID has my signature on it. I suppose driver licenses or whatever Americans use have that information, too.
