Yup, we have a good benchmarking suite to make sure changes don't cause regressions and that optimization changes actually work. That said, I think asking a developer to write everything they do twice so that they can A/B test is

It depends on your specialization, I guess. If you're making a website, a few microseconds here and there probably don't matter. But in my field (Fintech), performance really does matter. Doing the simple, slow thing is just lazy

True, but furnaces have a much lower power draw. They are easy to run off a generator, which are common in areas that frequently lose power.

Sure, I can see how in certain circumstances, the word "handicapped" is not the optimal descriptor. I still think "accessibility" is bad, but maybe "disability parking" covers your scenario better. This is the

Its all semantics, I guess. You could argue that signals can be used to handle exceptional conditions (dereffing NULL). But signals are significantly different than what other programming languages call "exceptions". Its the same

fenv is available in standard C99. There is a GNU extension to trap and throw a signal when a fp error is hit (feenableexcept). I would definitely argue that signals != exceptions.

by dahfizz 4y ago
Signals are not exceptions. Languages with exceptions still have to handle signals separately. Signals are an OS construct, and exceptions are a language construct. To the question of "why not raise a signal on integer overflow in C?&q

_when the return value is an error code_, zero means success and nonzero means failure. Functions like `read`, `recv`, etc etc don't just return an error code. They return an actual value. Functions that only return an error code like

The proposal fits my intuition. When the return value is an error code, truthy values are an error. int rc = func(); if( rc ) { /*handle error*/ } examples from the stdlib: connect(), stat(), etc. Hell, even main is

That's true, but my understanding is that the Tesla will only be able to keep itself warm for a day or two. So you need to charge the thing every day - really only practical with home charging.

Not if the battery itself is generating heat. Then the insulation keeps the heat in.

Companies in Delaware still have to pay the 21% federal corporate tax rate. Well above the EU rate this article is lauding. Delaware is popular to incorporate in for legal reasons. It is not a tax shelter.
