I don’t know if you will get to see my comment by now but you are an incredibly good writer. Miles above the email churn I deal with daily. I found myself reading and just flowing over your ideas. Your pace is good, your writing is simple y

SI is undoubtedly a superior system but in this particular example I can easily get a feel for what 100 lbs per sqft is like (a large dog standing on one floor tile, got it). 4.8 KN/m^2… not so much.

My point is that arguing about what is a variable is moot in the presence of compiler optimizations. You might think that taking and address makes a difference but if the compiler decides that it can elide it will (for example if the take

Conventional variable syntax may not create a variable either. The compiler elides as it can or sees fit. This is my point, you don’t reason about these details today, why should constexpr be different?

I think there’s a very high bar to clear to choose any other keyword than “constexpr”. With “constexpr” code can be compiled without change (at least in this regard) with C or C++ compilers, the keyword is the same. Good C and C++ interop i

I’m really not seeing what the issue is here. Could you expand on it? As a programmer why do I have to reason or care whether something is compile time only or not? I don’t worry about constant folding but it is a similar thing.

Yes, adults should not experiment with building custom distros... as we all know all existing Linux distributions were built by teenagers.

There’s nothing more off-putting to me than a rant based on a wrong premise. All that hot air and insults and in the end he was just wrong, by his own admission.

An actual court in the US will probably not try to legislate whether a person is of the Jewish faith or not, _regardless_ of what some other religious "court" says. Probably (IANAL) if a person says that they observe the Jewish fa

A hot spoon works too. It should not burn you though, just hot enough to be somewhat uncomfortable. I just run hot tap water over the spoon.

I believe exhaust(file.close() for file in files) should work as well, no need for the extra parens.

It seems like an implementation issue of the interpreter no? There’s no reason lambdas _have_ to be this way.

The reasoning that I’ve seen for this is that you lose context information (file, line, etc) when using lambdas. Is that it? If so it seems like a an interpreter implementation issue.

While unique/shared_ptr alleviate some of these issues the STL is still full of UB though, and that can’t be fixed easily.

No need to get aggressive. It's a high fidelity simulator. There is no goal, no missions, no points, no wins or losses. You just fly. There is probably very little the server is actually doing. Player state as seen from the server is p

Something not immediately clear to me is how to use the book. I see it uses a literate programming format, and it seems very well done. But I don’t see (in the first couple of chapters anyway) any code to show intermediate results. Am I sup

Maybe, maybe not. I imagine writing directly to memory will always be faster than writing to a filesystem, even if it’s ultimately backed by RAM. Might be a negligible difference though.

Interesting, this will allow Microsoft to still run Windows AND all existing Windows software on ARM. It seems like the way of least resistance to get ready for the incoming ARM onslaught.

Just a couple of silly ideas, I’m no expert: 1. Collect the telemetry to a local file. The file must not be encrypted, be human-readable and contain only anonymized data. I should also be able to confirm all this by just reading the file. 2

Wow, I’d never seen that deck. It’s incredibly honest and direct and does not read like typical corpo-speak. I don’t know if they practice what they preach at Netflix but they definitely got a bit more of respect from me.
