And yet one of the fancy new features being advertised in recent years (in multiple APIs including Metal) is support for mesh shaders – which seem to have a lot in common with geometry shaders, including the output ordering property that th

Are you sure it's handwritten or obfuscated? I remember from when I used to disassemble compiled ARM code (not on the NDS though) that it was common to see CMP, followed by a bunch of instructions with one condition predicate, followed

If Apple’s password manager required websites to indicate compliance before generating passwords for them, it would defeat the goal of a password manager to work with existing sites. It’s not like Apple invented the idea of a password mana

Decent critique, but it mixes together two things: the design language, and UI papercuts showing a lack of attention to detail. Consider the current macOS Finder: https://a.qoid.us/20240907-finder.png Finder's design i

In theory there shouldn’t be any. The official Rust builds, I believe, have one level of bootstrapping: the previous official build is used to build an intermediate build of the current version, which is then used to build itself. So the

It's not useful to have a type implement Iterator for multiple element types. But in Rust, if Iterator took the element type as a generic parameter, it would be possible . The fact that it's not useful is precisely why Rust m

The $1.1 billion figure is for Truvada total, not for PrEP specifically. It’s perhaps notable that Gilead chose not to break that down, given that the original claim they were responding to was about PrEP specifically.

I wish rustc had a way to 'pin' the output of type inference, in the same way that Cargo.lock pins the versions of dependencies. That way, old code would continue to compile based on what the types were originally inferred as, ev

If it just clones the repos and removes the .git directories, then I assume it doesn't keep their commit history? So if you use e.g. `git blame` or `git log` to look at file history, you will see when changes were introduced to the pa

It’s nice to make invalid states unrepresentable. Unfortunately, you can’t do that in C++ if you have a move constructor. C++ moves have to leave the source object in a valid state, since the object can still be accessed afterwards and wi

In that case it couldn’t corrupt data, but the orq instruction itself could crash if it pointed to an unmapped address. (Which is kind of the point of stack probes.)
