I can imagine no z buffer requiring finding a way to efficiently sort the triangles but how can affine mapping be harder than perspective correct?

Maybe you could interpret this question as "what makes you interested in this field/domain" rather than "why do you want to work for us in particular"?

The problem isn't that disabled people are less productive, but that they aren't even given a chance to demonstrate how productive they are or how their skills might be useful. Besides, companies don't always hire the most pr

They're losing the soft power anyway. But if they sell they can atleast earn money.

You have to look at it from a national security perspective rather than a moral one. A foreign adversary spying on your citizens is terrible. The only reason most countries dont ban US apps is either they are already friendly with the US or

The problem here is that Tiktok is not merely "promoting totalitarianism", it is actively spying on it's users and sending their data to the Chinese government. Don't you think this warrants a ban?

Well in the famous Sony vs Bleem case in which Bleem won, Bleem was a fully commercial company selling their emulators. It's just that they created it in such a way that you still needed to own the ps1 game disk and insert it into your

Value in the context of Hacker News means something that is amusing, insightful, or impressive. It is very rare for plain ol' documentation to make it to the front page.

How would userspace programs communicate with usb devices without a driver. Does adb itself on Linux internally contain a driver?

> windows only used Vendor ID and Product ID to decide what driver to load Even if you plug in standard device classes like HID?

It also depends on what kind of application you're developing and the resource usage patterns.

> The rate of safety defects between major C and C++ projects appears similar at first glance How come? Surely there would be fewer memory leaks in a code base with proper RAII than in C code with malloc and free all over the place.

But you can't deny that C++ is a straight upgrade to C. If CppFront becomes this straight upgrade to C++, isn't that a good thing?

Wouldn't that be OS specific anyway? Like, Windows has no concept of forking processes but instead it uses the CreateProcess function.

I remember reading somewhere that if you actually read the TOS/EULA of every single thing you use, it would take your entire lifetime.

Let say A is an ill formed utf-16 string with unmatched surrogates. The problem comes when trying to convert A to utf-8. Is this the leak you are talking about?
149.
by cylemons 3y ago
Is having a hole from U+D800 to U+DFFF such a big deal? The parent comment was specifically talking about surrogate pairs. That to me looks more like buggy implementation issue rather than standards issue.

by cylemons 3y ago
I don't see what's inherently wrong with UTF-16 surrogates. If I am not wrong, a given UTF-16 codeunit is unambigously either a complete code point, a first surrogate, or a second surrogate. Why should we expect invalid utf-16 str
