Maybe not all the particles come from the tyre? They could come from the road, or the brakes, or leaves / dust on the road.

Asking as an ill-informed European. Is this the Koch of the Koch Brothers that I only know as the financiers behind the GOP and climate denialism and bankrolling efforts to gut environmental protection laws?

Sorry for channeling the dude here but that is just, like your opinion man. I think many of the critical voices now are coming from the EU. We have data protection laws. The ISP can't just sell browsing data. That has been illegal sinc

I feel slightly misrepresented. I explained how exceptions are implemented, and the actionable intelligence you can derive from that understanding (if perf matters to your code and/or scenario, then use exceptions only for hard errors,

by fefe23 7y ago
Well it depends on your circumstances. If you care so much about performance in the code path that you do benchmarks to find out how you should be doing your error handling, then you should not be using exceptions. Even if the metadata is l

Exceptions are not meant to be fast. In fact, exceptions are meant to be exceptional. Hence the name. Exceptions are meant to be fast if and only if you do not throw any. And even this is only truly true on Unix. The original implementation

People complaining about how user-unfriendly SAP is or how companies adapt to SAP instead of the other way around are missing the point of SAP. The point of SAP is that the module for your type of business is being implemented at the market

There might be some confusion of terminology at work here. I tend to agree with the article that you have to think about performance while designing your program, but that is not a contradiction to what Knuth is saying. Knuth talks about op

Let me point out that even if you think that this project is "not rust-y enough" by violating basic premises of the Rust way, it would still be useful as it outperforms all those C based project with at least as many guarantees th

I think you misinterpret why this is being done. It's not to train employees. It's a hedge against accusations of racism. So management can point at this and say: see? We did all we could!

Not quite sure what the take-away is here, and whom he is talking to. Good software is good. Well, uh, yeah. Anything else? Write software that people actually want? Well gosh darn, why didn't I think of that! Also, GNU grep is not ant

I like Rust as much as the next guy, but currently Rust (and Go for that matter) binaries are comparatively enormous (compared to C or C++, i.e. compared to systemd). For comparison: ripgrep (Rust) is >2 MB stripped, GNU grep is <200k

Note that I blamed the mass migration towards Europe on the Americans, not the mess in the region. For the mess in the region I would have blamed the Brits first and then the Ottoman empire and the French a distant second and third. But tha

I would be interested in the other direction. Would anyone from the EU who moved to Australia care to tell us about their experiences?

Germany does not have extraterritorial prison colonies. I think this is a combination of hyperbole and choosing the wrong word. Germany does have housing for refugees and asylum seekers while they wait for asylum to be granted or denied, an

The facts as presented by this article do not match the facts I remember. I'm an old fart and was actually alive and active writing software at that time. The cathedral and the bazaar was not a book, it was an essay. They apparently la

I always wonder why we just assume STEM are an attractive field to be in. Because if it is not attractive, then why would we want to force more women into it? Maybe we should not be asking why there are so few women doing it but why there a

I have come to believe that we are dealing not with a domain specific problem but with the human condition itself. I call this my gradient theory. Consider human learning as an optimization in the mathematical sense. Note that humans are go

I don't know about you, but if I talk to someone about a problem, the "why didn't you just $FOO" suggestions are exactly the ones I'm looking for. Because the tech environment has become so complex that there is pro

A tool like this should be running in a browser. Otherwise, if the method of intercepting the traffic only manipulates the browser (for example a rogue extension or proxy setting you were not aware of), a standalone tool could not detect it

This is a toolkit. You use whatever parts you want from it. Both fields are large enough to hold the full name if that is how you roll. The software needs to have a database layout that supports the superset of what all individual users nee

The gender field was added for FrosCon. They used it to select what kind of t-shirt you want. Other uses have been to suggest shared sleeping arrangements.

One of the requirements is: 4) The first byte should indicate the number of bytes to follow in a multibyte sequence. This is actually a pretty smart requirement for efficiency. This way the parser can know if the input bytes it has constit

Even if it meant power, it would make sense to warn here, because storing 2^16 in an unsigned short yields 0 :-)

I don't think that was the claim of the original engineer though. More that women like other things more?

Could you please explain what kind of manipulation your library supports on finite state machines? Does it contain a regex engine to easily create the state machines in the first place? Does it have a JIT? Do the state machines operate on c

Two things about this baffle me. 1. Why only put perf data in the blurb? To me it would be much more helpful to first see a few API calls this allows that solve problems I have had before, or may have in the future. It remains mostly opaque

Thank you! This was helpful, concise, well written, yet did not throw a SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER popup in my face, did not ask me to create an account, did not bombard me with ads and did not come across as the usual LOOK AT ME I'M

Please sign your outgoing mails if you have a key. Of the PGP mails I get, most are just encrypted to me. That is cryptographically not a sound idea, but it also means that I cannot encrypt back, because I don't know which key to encry
