You write this while in most Western countries.. ..many people who fail (lose a job, divorce, illness, accident) become drug addicted, homeless, mentally ill and are left to their own devices. ..people are still referred to as “Black Americ

None of your Jacascript code will run? That sounds overly dramatic. 1. this only concerns regex 2. there’s an alternative regex syntax doing the same thing as part of the ecma standard 3. it can be implemented very easily without regex in a

I don’t think the Rust code could be shorter than the C++ code when converting pretty much line by line, since that leads to C++-style Rust code. For example idiomatic Rust code can do with less defensive programming due to language feature

How about you stop driving when you’re tired instead of risking other people’s lives? You could’ve killed many people!

You’re whitewashing history if you think Pascal was superior to C. There was no conspiracy among compiler developers as you imply. Also you complain about semantic richness of C, but then only point to semantically rich languages you despis

Unironically, I can totally see this with MQTT in the manufacturing industry. It’s unifying the communication a lot which used to be very heterogeneous and proprietary.

I remember something about mysql not treating localhost as local, but 127.0.0.1 would. This led to very different performance. (Long ago, not sure about details) Also surprised by libraries not using more efficient protocols although they w

On one hand it’s great FreeBSD uses capability sandboxing, on the other I’m sick of memory errors since the day before yesterday.

If the same happened in a city in another country you just wouldn’t hear about it on international news.

Frankly speaking the target 5x improvement, if everything works out as desired, doesn’t change too much overall. Python is often magnitudes slower than other languages, oftentimes even other scripting languages. So for me at least it won’t

Compare: thinking in OOP terms in say, Haskell, is terrible. -> doesn’t mean OOP is terrible or that Haskell is terrible. Thinking in functional terms in Haskell is great. -> doesn’t mean functional programming is great or that Haskel

Oftentimes users of the GPU have to sanitize the data and commands sent to the GPU driver because it makes harsh assumptions about the inputs being legal. In that case the bug is on the application side because an unsafe API was used with a

by eska 4y ago
The article mentions a heap buffer overflow in GPU, so it might be a driver issue. GPU drivers were traditionally not written with security in mind so there are a lot of potential bugs in there.

The comment you’re referring to merely refrains from making a value judgment, while you’re turning it into an approval of OOP.

Are they unable to patch a rate limit into it? It also seems incredibly incompetent to create a password system that doesn't have a rate limit as a basic precaution against brute force attacks to begin with.

This quote doesn’t exactly make you look like the badass you think you are.. and all over C++ array access. Does that sound like a topic that warrants escalation to confrontational language to you?

I’ve worked on a lot of open source projects and large proprietary code bases that I’d call not-a-mess. I’m not sure what that means to you, to me it means well-engineered in terms of quality criteria, rather than aesthetics, as it seems to

„Do you want a relationship (friendship or dating) with someone of the opposite sex?“ is not ambiguous. Stop ranting. Personally I find people who don’t read the (short) article and go on a long strawman rant more problematic than what you

It was very eye opening for me as a teen that a lot of mmorpgs lose their appeal once you can max things out. Suddenly they need actually well designed gameplay and story!

RTFA. The article explicitly defines what is meant by relationship, and their definition includes friendship with the opposite gender.

The only difference I can think of is when appending to a file. Starting with an empty file you’re on a new line. But if you don’t end every line with a newline character then your next line will end up on the same line in the file as the l

I’m not talking, like you, about “A parses faster than B”. I talk about “A causes the parser to start over, B doesn’t, so B is faster”. Resets do make a difference that does not require microbenchmarks and is in the realm of milliseconds. T

So far your theory, but I measured it in practice. Developer tools give easy access to parser events and different page load timings such as parsing stage.
