It depends on the language. I linked a set of c++ guidelines and for c++, they are correct: it is undefined behaviour to do signed integer overflow. Some languages do specify it, eg rust, and even in c++ it might appear to work, but even th

It's not that uncommon of a convention to strictly use signed numbers unless doing bit manipulation, eg the Google C++ Style Guide.

[0] has many more details but CentOS was never a drop in replacement and the new CentOS model is a big improvement for anyone wanting drop in replacements. I agree with everything else you said though, they were independent of IBM for nearl

With so many comments on the state of the job market, I'm surprised to not see even one mention of career fairs. It's quite common for universities to host these and while they have their own set of disadvantages, it seems they co

In spite of my earlier comment, I do think it is worthwhile to stick around a little longer to see how it goes. As Arathorn mentioned, the latest ElementX release just came out and they are saying it is production ready. I got the update ye

Sounds very relatable coming from c++. Managing dependencies is generally not too fun, it's very easy to waste a whole day (or more) fighting with the build system/package manager/linker. I like to think it's the tools b

The way you phrase that makes it sound like you had a negative experience, was that your intention? For all we know he didn't even see it, there's thousands of issues and PRs and it's not like this is his full time job, so mi

Wezterm has built in ssh support where if you open a wezterm ssh window to a remote host and then open new tabs/splits within that window, the new tabs/splits are added as part of the existing ssh session automatically. It also al

Wez left the issue open and said "I personally have no plans to implement this any time soon.", so I have to imagine he's open to PRs. He just has other things to spend his own time on.

Is that assuming windows are rolled down or do they just speak nice and loud? I'd consider most drivers in my area to be relatively easygoing in heavy traffic but this sounds fun to try nonetheless.

To give a concrete example of what others are saying and why I also really do not like discourse, the performance issues in combination with other bugs and limitations makes it extremely clunky for large threads. Go to something like [0] an

Thanks for the perspective, I sometimes have completionist tendencies so it's hard to skim without feeling I'm missing parts, but also it can certainly lead to motivation running out at times. And thanks for Crafting Interpreters,

Do you have any thoughts about how to read some of the next step books like Engineering a Compiler/Dragon Book? I don't normally read large technical books end to end so I'm curious how others approach it. I am going through

Same. I sometimes use Edge when a site is broken on Firefox and I get into trouble there because it has super weird behavior when you highlight text. Very annoying.

Not sure what you're on about. The article itself states they're typically 1mm to 2.3cm in length, and most of them that I've ever seen are closer to the 2cm than 1mm. Probably helps that just about anything 1mm in size looks

My experience with Bella+Canvas was that the ratio between the sleeves/shoulders and torso felt really disproportionate in a way that I haven't felt with most other shirts, so they don't really work for me. The material itsel

Okay, so? Are you implying they would make the bridges closed source if they could? Then why do they still maintain the open source bridges instead of forking or writing their own, and why do they sponsor devs to make new open source bridge
