Not sure about GCC, but in general there has been a big move away from using parser generators like flex/bison/ANTLR/etc, and towards using handwritten recursive descent parsers. Clang (which is the C/C++ frontend for LL

You can indeed write custom allocators, and you can read to or write from special addresses. The former will usually, and the latter will always, require some use of `unsafe` in order to declare to the compiler: "I have verified that t

I mean that's pretty much just what Quanta does, if you don't like it I'd recommend reading a different publication. It's their whole shtick, simplifying complex news about science/mathematics just enough so that pe

I messed around with common lisp for a while a few months ago, and I remember the packaging/dependency situation was by far the most difficult and confusing part. So thanks for writing this article, bookmarked it for the next time I wr

The idea is interesting but unfortunately the actual articles are riddled with spelling errors, typos, missing words, sentences that cut off before And so on. Is this a work-in-progress thing not meant for public consumption yet?

I don't think it's pride, more that I don't see the problem that it solves for me. I don't find that git gets in my way at all, and I don't find it confusing. It's a pretty transparent tool that I use every day

I got a Dell XPS for work a couple years ago on someone's recommendation... one of my worst-ever decisions. The touchpad sucks and routinely breaks requiring restarts, constantly having driver issues (and you have to deal with the capi

Nope. Off the top of my head, I've had serious issues (crashing, visual glitching, extreme lag, etc) running OpenMW and Minecraft on XWayland, both of which were resolved entirely by switching to X11. There have been many others too, t

That's extremely disappointing. Wayland has gotten a lot better but there are still many, many instances where I have to switch into an X11 session in order to play certain games (especially older ones). I am a huge fan of KDE but this

It's depressing how in the modern day you can't criticize capitalism without immediately being told that you must be a supporter of soviet-style authoritarian socialism There are shades of grey here. Capitalism is a system with ma

Making it relative to countries is useful because that is the delination along which policy is made. Making it relative to people, IMO, only serves to obscure the fact that the US/China/etc are by far the biggest producers of emis

It might be easier to think in terms of what you can actually achieve with your visualization. I am terrible at visual art because I struggle to picture what I am drawing before I draw it. When I do calculus problems, I have to write down i

I switched to using JetBrains for most things recently, and I'll say this about CLion: it is incredible and my instant go-to for CMake-based projects. For any other build system it is a massive headache to get working in my experienc

Climate change isn't driven by per-inhabitant CO2 emissions. It's driven by total CO2 emissions, of which the US outputs 12% per year.

Yeah, as I understand it the idea is that instead of making the server-side complex and the frontend code complex, you retain as much complexity server-side as possible and treat the browser as just a hypermedia renderer. If a part of the p

Holding the opinion that Linux is currently the most reliable OS option is "trolling"?

"It has convinced a bunch of people to spend money" is also true of blockchain, so I don't know if that's a good argument to differentiate the two.

Yes, that did unfortunately happen in the history of psychiatry. I am talking about modern American psychiatric practices (say, the last 10-20 years). If the proposition here is that mental health disorders are fabricated maliciously in ord

A "disorder" is just a collection of symptoms that have been empirically shown to benefit from certain treatments. If someone doesn't think they have those symptoms then they can just not seek a diagnosis or treatment. Nobody

The DSM isn't about understanding how the brain works, it's about correlating sets of symptoms to treatments. If your issues are characterized by this broad set of symptoms, then likely you'll benefit from these sorts of trea

As with all languages, the syntax seems strange at first until you get used to it, at which point you hardly think about it.

That's the point of the article though. They're saying that instead of trying to grit your teeth and push through something you hate to satisfy an arbitrary goal, you should find the thing that you're crazy for enjoying so mu
