YMMV. I don't recall seeing anything remotely relevant, so maybe it's not a working solution.

Idk about budget colas but Fentimans Curiosity Cola is pretty nice, and you don't need billboards on streets to get me to buy some. (I don't think I've ever seen an ad for Fentimans'.)

How would you ever know?

And, on the flip side, you don't need a goddamn degree to think about algorithmic complexity. It's pretty basic stuff at the level most developers ever get to care about it.

All the bidets I've used (standard fare in .fi) are attached to the faucet, so you need to open that if you want to use the bidet. (You also use the faucet to control water temperature)

A new OS is entirely buildable, precisely because it isn't beholden to hundreds of millions of words in standards that you'd be required to implement. You could keep it simple, too, if you didn't need to support existing bloa

I agree. The internet should be a bit like roads. Yeah sure, you can put up a toll road somewhere, but you can't generally block people from using the road network.

Well you can come up with any number of solutions with various trade-offs. One obvious choice is that there's only one maintainer doing merges -- if they sign and push different content to different repos, it's a problem of their

Don't merge, just mirror. Sign everything. If a mirror finds fresh data on another host, with signatures that check out, grab it.

UB isn't a side effect, nor does it imply a sequence point or completion of other side effects. The compiler is largely free to reorder things anyway. And indeed the standard allows the compiler to bail out and throw an error during

by clarry 7y ago
And the problem is that users ask the compiler to optimize, and then they complain because it optimizes. See, optimization can do a lot of unexpected things, but it is very difficult in general for the compiler to tell whether a certain app

by clarry 7y ago
The language would be more complex if it tried to specify all behavior. UB allows it to be simpler. Do not confuse simple with easy.
