How do you address ABI issues with standard C++ library types?

Plan 9 replaces dynamic linking and direct C calls with the opening and interaction with server processess via file streams. I see two unfortunate issues with that: 1. you lose the ability to use manifest and static types for your interface

I don’t understand why you put PS2 as part of an era of synchronous rendering. It’s the epitome of asynchronicity: it exposes multiple DMA channels to send data and commands to the vector units and the GPU and good use of that parallelism w

look up eastside const https://mariusbancila.ro/blog/2018/11/23/join-the-east-const... I’ve been using this style at home in a longtime now, I appreciate how it’s more at home with C and more consistent

One way to think about it is that the global average temperature is the average of winter and summer times in the whole earth. So an increase of a few degrees is not what you will experience, which is the local weather.

I don’t understand? Why not make the memory representation sympathetic with the operations you’re going to do on it? It’s the raison d’être of computers to compute and to do it fast. Another example: memory representation of pixels in GPUs

Having used the “local errno” solution, I feel you’re overstating the downsides a great deal.

When building programs with user interfaces*, there are parts that _cannot_ be tested formally with either types or automated tests, because they require a human to test how things "feel." In that context, long compile times lengt

Is that true? Is it still true if you take into account that the CO2 emissions are maybe emitted say in China, to produce the goods of those supposedly virtuous countries?

It's a mistake to think the cases are evenly distributed in the population, and do not have clusters. Sorry for your losses, freedomben

appropriate suggestion for your username. The tradeoff between a little bit or human touch and effort upfront vs higher energy and CO2 expenditure overall is not something I find personally compelling

I don't understand the discussion surrounding the cost of nuclear, talking about it being non-competitive.. When the alternative is what? Unleashing series of catastrophic events due to climate change? which will have an unbounded enor

That is actually the scariest thing about CO2. It's going to stay in our atmosphere for 100 of years. So even just stopping emitting is just about maintaining the status quo. Once the crisis becomes really bad, we don't have any m

Yes unfortunately we made that experience many times. When you buy tickets from bahn.de, increase the default connection time, theirs is way too low and results in missed connections frequently.

I believe it's somewhat unavoidable as the fonts may also have co-evolved to work with renderers that work that way

When you're saying nuclear can't keep up with the cost, are you comparing the same kwh? For wind and solar if you install X kwh for amount A, and for nuclear Y khw for amount B, X represents a peak available capacity.. At best, wh
