What 'real' web are you going to get on a 1.5in phone screen? What real web are you going to get when there's no 3g, much less a reliable signal on a lot of places. Wap worked well for actually relaying information.

Off topic. But how are you supposed to explore that website? There seems to be no way to look at other blog posts, https://tiki.li/blog/ errors out. https://tiki.li doesn't seem to have a link to the b

Have you never heard something that is surprising to you, and then asked for more information? Well no. Probably not...

Yes. But. There's many companies that build up a reputation then cash in on that reputation. Eg Mercedes in the 90s. So you could end up paying more for cheap rubbish. It would be nice if the EU or someone introduced an energy star typ

Not according to what I've just read. It's sold in china via a joint venture with saic and seems to have been slightly redesigned for the china market.

Well it depends what legal protections are there to back it up. If you get threatened with blacklisting without recourse, that seems like a bad thing.

What are the costs of the installation based on? I haven't been able to find any for sale?

Just went to the Alessi site for more details. List one for £160 and one for £170. No obvious difference. Click on "what is the capacity of the toru kettle" and it makes you wait for an ai to answer the question. What am I suppose

Well yes, I'm taking an extreme example. I'm just thinking about something like the meteor missile, if you're up against a 5th gen jet with shorter range missiles, the 5th gen jet doesn't necessarily have the advantage.

Well you need to know enough to know whether it's doing run time checks also. And also whether it's generating less efficient code to satisfy the type safety requirement.

Given the state of missile tech, is that as relevant anymore? If you strap a missile on to a Cessna that can take down a 5th gen fighter before it knows you're there. Doesn't really matter what fancy doodads the latest and greates

I'm not really sure. Problem is, is that a lot of the compressed instructions have been informed by the c way of doing things. TBF I'm playing with a pi Pico, so anything I do is likely to be more influenced by the memory set up.

I'd label it as more related to Jevon's paradox. They arent saying they're the same individual. Just that this is very quickly undone by other developments. But anyway it'll devolves pretty quickly into a fallacy where y

Isn't that like saying X compiles to assembly as so should be as efficient as assembly? I'm not an expert on the internals of typescript. But your comment doesn't indicate you are an expert either.

I think I may(?) have got into Linux 20+ years ago when I was trying to learn c and even the basic Hello World wouldn't work for me. So I suppose it does have a marketing benefit in that I now use Linux.

This looks interesting. I've been thinking along somewhat similar lines of a C but instead of a PDP 11 as the virtual machine, why not risc V. Could of questions. Do variables as registers get enforced at all? If you're going to h

Thing is. Old C killed them, new c will use UB to optimize things that can't happen, like integer overflow checks. C is no longer that high level assembler that killed the others. Plus I think you're being overly negative. This is

Don't say that, or else Ai will start inserting typos.

by benj111 5mo ago
Right. But to take the first example, the value of initialised memory. It's undefined so it doesn't have to be zeroed therefore increasing efficiency. But it's also UB so if you do know that memory contains something, you can

>are you sure you aren't perhaps just using the wrong language Well I think there is a tension here. C is the language for microcontrollers and the language for high performance. In ye olden days both groups interests were aligned b

What are you imagining? If this is desktop then most of the extensions are going to be standard. The only reason they're optional is because I'm using the same instruction set on my Pico, so no it doesn't have floating point,

by benj111 5mo ago
I don't think C is hostile. C has UB for good reason. The problem is UB has been hijacked by the compiler writers for performance gains. Personally I like C because you should have a good idea of what it's going to do. Other langu

1. It's been talked about for much longer than that. 2. You don't really appreciate the issue. Signed integer overflow is undefined. If you check for that overflow after the fact the compiler can, and demonstrably has pretended th

The issue for me with posts like this is that it misses the issue. Unaligned pointer accesses are UB because different systems handle it differently. This 'should' be to allow the program to be portable by doing what the system no
