I'd say it's the other way around than escape analysis. The method ABI can always scalarize value class types without escape analysis, but if they ever need to get type-erased or written atomically you end up with extra allocati

Even a smart compiler can't break the program semantics, and without a closed world assumption it simply can't assume that an entirely different part of the program doesn't expect to observe object identity for a type. Java i

Pure Datalog can't express peano up to infinity, its terms can't be functors as in Prolog. At best you could hardcode a successor relation up to a limit.

I'd argue dotnet is about AI. The official blogs and conferences have been hijacked by AI products, much like VS Code.

> Lobsters has a funny obsession with being anti-AI, but the most commented posts on the front page are usually AI related. Reminds me of gamer-gate: Back then, NerdCubed graphed the top posts from both pro- and anti-gamer-gate subreddit

I'm not the one who originally complained above, but personally I've simply got more things to read than time to read them so I do my best to ignore the sloppy writing, be it by a 90s magazine writer or most often by Claude. It ca

I would move the quotes to "open" since the issue of licensing is still left. Although LLM providers have shown that they don't care about copyright so it should go both ways.

That barely anyone with an organic brain would use any those phrases as a heading , much less all of them. This article isn't particularly egregious but AI does come up with really cringy headings. Most often "the <irrelevant

This case happened precisely because the officers noticed the phone flash and reboot when they entered the pin. IIRC they didn't make a fuss over it, but time later he got charged over the event. So whatever a duress pin does, it has t

My most awkward experience was a maintainer commenting on my feature request just to prompt a bot to "explain to issue reporter why this is very hard to implement." It felt like they were trying to avoid me. They could have simply

But most people who want to get good at their main discipline, even for self-fulfillment purposes, have been gaining the necessary experience through their job, because an unrelated job takes away too much time to do so.

Not surprising, but Jarred has been teasing "tomorrow I swear" for months and Bun keeps missing his own deadlines. There's clearly something wrong in their confidence about Rust Bun: If it isn't ready they should have sa

My PC doesn't have swap and it freezes for about 20 s when I run out of memory until the OOM killer finishes its job, usually by killing Code or more rarely Firefox. I'll take this over the machine swapping so slowly that I need t

I don't even know what you're trying to convey: I'm countering the perception that every channel does this. But it isn't true, they've simply allowed themselves to have a disgusting feed. The "players" can

They reluctantly acknowledged that as a mistake by adding an actual "optional" modifier for field presence. proto3's previously so-called optional were really all present with a zero default value; proto2 could have supported

The translations from that Google Search widget are painfully literal given how searches are usually phrased. I can't believe they've put that in production. Similarly, I find its AI tab useless because it has a hard time interpre

How many of them can be accounted for by the natural rate of sexual dysfunction? I've been taking it without significant side effects for ~15 years, so I'm not worried, although at this point it's losing its main effect as we

Sounds like you've let your feed fill with shitty channels, but no, not all channels do this. I mostly refuse to watch videos with those cringe clickbait thumbnails, and I've still got more stuff to watch that I've got time f

Not really, Spectre showcased an attack from within a JavaScript sandbox, which isn't considered to own the machine. Any side effects from speculation machinery can easily become a side-channel to infer values across security boundarie

Yesterday I encountered AI-generated food photos on a menu for the first time. I immediately felt grossed out before even realising why. Their generated focaccias didn't even look like food, just off-putting trypophobia triggers.

Jsoo supports self-recursive and mutually recursive tail calls, but for general tail calls it would need to trampoline every single call, since the only major browser with proper tail calls is Safari.

There's always a lag, you calibrate the test based on previous results, not future ones. If intelligence is decreasing I'd expect every IQ test to keep scoring a median lower than 100 unless taken immediately after calibration. On

A one item collection is admittedly a lame one, but it is a collection. Pointers are collections of zero or one items in a sense. Now, the verb "map" is the traditional name for this operator, but I agree it sounds confusing when

I assumed their qualifier was being applied to this case as well. However I don't think there's any ambiguity about who are we talking about in this specific thread of comments.

I'm talking exclusively about this particular breach. 48000 out of 50000 have returned voluntarily. I don't think that counts as trying, so talking about success is a category error. This was a (deadly) flash mob.

Most have already returned voluntarily!

See my other reply to you, most are in fact not settling.
