Or use pieee-754 which is the same as iee-754 but everything is mimtipled by pi.

I mean, the console has been out for 5 years. Who is buying one who didn't have one before?

Some choice stickers (McMurdo Station and South Pole Station stickers) have inhabited 3 of my laptops already.

The memory savings from 32 bit or even 16 bit floats are definitely not pointless! Not to mention doubling simd throughput. Speaking of which, without simd support this certainly can't be used in a lot of applications. Definitely makes

Writing C like Fortran (no heap) is even better when you can!

yes, the worksheets especially are tedious when they could be automatically calculate with relatively little effort in most cases.

what C++ libraries take weeks to install? It's true that C++ compile times are atrocious but even that is over the top :).

It depends how far down the rabbit hole you go. Something like JCON (originally from mongodb, see https://blogs.gnome.org/chergert/2016/10/21/jcon/ ) is actually pretty nice IMO.

I wonder why healpix never made a footing outside of cosmology. I suppose nobody likes spherical harmonics as much as physicists.

It CAN be. If a company chose brainfuck as a main programming language, it's doubtful they'd come back from that choice.

The C preprocessor allows you to define a limited DSL on top of C. This is... sometimes a good thing, and often convenient, even if it makes it hard to understand.

More likely 8.333% I would think (1/12). The same probability of a broken clock yielding the correct hour.

and storage is a big deal for debian! It is basically the other player in embedded Linux other than rolling your own where a 4GB or smaller emmc is pretty common.

There's a good reason for this. The average user has no idea and doesn't care what language some random distro-packaged program is written in. They want to be able to run ubxtool or gdal_calc or virt-manager or whatever without se

yes because then you're starting to use non-distro python packages. If you want to do that, use a virtualenv, there is no safe other way (even if there was no python in the base system) .

A bit clunky but more foolproof is something like: ide_read ( &(struct ide_loc) { .byte_offset = 10, .block = 20 } )

right and in C++ you have amazing zero-overhead units libraries
