Fortran doesn't have pointer arithmetic, and pointers that decay like C. The compiler can be much more aggressive about optimization. Passing around variable length arrays and arrays with a variable number of dimensions is much easier

If someone can successfully build this jalopy, it would be nice to get a version compiled with optimizations for modern processors (>= core2). Maybe run the address/memory sanitizer over it.

Has any other filesystem added in i-node arbitrary attribute tags? This would be invaluable for collections of documents, and would make most library managers like calibre or tmm redundant.

When I'm interviewing people I'll ask a fizzbuzz level question. Not fizzbuzz itself though. I'll pick something that just has them doing some basic operations with strings and arrays like reversing the words in a string. I&#

Reminder: Tesla is only profitable because it sell carbon tax credits to makes of ICE vehicles so they in turn can produce the less efficient cars which are basically just status symbols.

The Windows 95 MFC style toolbars and menu, and everyone who inspired and cloned that, were probably at the peak of general UX usability. If you had to take an MFC application and "modernize it" a lot of the functionality that wou

How TikTok's "algorithm" works is pretty obvious if you've spent any time on there. It learns what you like by how much of a video you watch and how you interact with it, and it establishes some kind of weighted feature

I grew up as a latchkey kid from the time I was old enough to go to school. I honestly don't see the point in bothering with childcare if they're old enough to be in school. They've either got homework, they can engage in som

It was 1990. No one was really ordering stuff over the internet yet. Commercial commerce was still sort of a taboo since, by and large, it was funded by public research monies. Now? He probably has some webmail account so he can sign up for

One of the things I got out of learning Haskell was learning about QuickCheck. Now, my preferred testing method is to write pure functions attach generators for the given input types, assert invariant properties about them, and then let Qui

Yes. But this is not new. These features have more or less existed in this compiler since it was PGI Fortran.

Jobs is the one who killed the Newton when he returned. Apple could have launched in iPhone like product years ahead of when they did if they kept that branch of the company afloat. That would have been a real 'visionary' move. In

No. It would have been exposed as being a dead end with no backwards compatibility. The GS was essentially a completely different architecture from its predecessors anyway. Compatibility was maintained with the Mega2 chip. Apple wouldn&#x27

The different components would make different electromagnetic interference patterns. You could tell what the computer was doing (or not doing) from the static. This is also how some of the first computer generated music was produced.

In Java, you can write an agent and intercept when the bytecode for a class is loaded by the JVM by the Class Loader. ASM is just a bytecode reader/writer/visitor library that can then modify it. You could also just do it statical
