I see it as the painfully slow march of human progress. Genocide was worse than slavery, which was worse than internment, which was worse than misogyny, which was worse than segregation, which was worse than anti-miscegenation, which was wo

I really hope they were developers in the old Origin, pre-Renaissance days; and not developers from the EA, post-Age of Shadows days. For those not in the know, much of the open-ended nature of the game was removed or destroyed in order to

Oh wow, I wonder if someone saw this thread, or if that was just a coincidence. Either way, very cool! Thanks for the heads up! I can't use it now obviously, but I can add a diagnostic disable line that'll work in the future.

It was very beneficial on the register-starved x86, but I notice less impact on amd64. I definitely also have a debug-mode that builds with -g and without -s -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer.

Thanks for digging that up. Interesting to see their rationale. Seems like they could extend the test to not warn if it's just switch(var) only, but it might have to happen at a different eval level for that to work. > I can't

Yep, exactly. You go to the adults, and they don't help you at all. So you stand up for yourself, and now you're the one in trouble. I can't possibly think of a more backwards model for encouraging bullying. Even with the pun

I see two major use cases for exceptions in C++. The first, is for errors during recursive functions. Very challenging to escape from 13 levels deep into a recursive descent parser without throw. The second, is for container access-by-refer

It's worse than just a tiny picture: my ZR30w cannot display any source formats not 2560x1600. So I cannot connect it to any game consoles, a Roku box, etc. Only a PC video card. But it does result in an astonishingly low latency, at l

Sure, and when you write an expression more complex than a single ternary, you start to see why Lisp is so uncommon in real-world usage. It has a wonderful technical elegance, but the humans that have to write code tend to not think in the

strl(cpy|cat)() is quite dangerous to just use blindly as a full replacement for other (mem|str)*(cpy|cat) functions. strlcpy's return value is the length of the source string. So say you have a big 20MB XML document, and as you are sc
