There's no name mangling in C, at least not in any ABI I know of.

As a side note, since TFA mentions you can't run 16b apps on 64b Windows, I'd like to mention that otvdm/winevdm actually allows you to do it by running Win16 apps on Win32 using Wine!

The Italian name for München/Munich is Monaco (literally "monk"), which makes a lot of sense now :)

When I was a little kid and started using computers for the first time, Office 97 was one of the only programs installed on my family's PC. I swear the only reason I ever opened Office was for Clippy and its fellow animated characters

Never did I mention I had specified a model/brand. I just went to the mechanic and asked him "fix my transmission". Whatever the way he does it, if it works it's good to me.
249.
by frabert 7y ago
Why did he mount a different brand? Was it because he thinks it's better? Maybe it's cheaper, but otherwise equivalent? I have no way of knowing, and I trust his judgement entirely. On the other hand, if I went to my mechanic and

Oh no, he doesn't think they are stupid, just that they don't know the difference between browsers. If my mechanic mounted a new transmission or something that wasn't the same brand as the one mounted before, and told me &quo

Correction: it is a proof assistant, not a theorem prover. Z3 (also from De Moura) is a theorem prover. EDIT: Main difference between the two is that with a proof assistant, you write a proof and the assistant checks its correctness, while

I have to say, I'm really happy that this seems a sort of resurgence of a proper CPU architecture diversity. I'm getting bored of the x86/ARM dichotomy.

Could be! Sorry, I'm not an expert and I have not looked at the schematics... EDIT: On further inspection, they look like they are "stitching" two copper pours together, presumably ground or power, in order to decrease impeda

Those are called "vias", they connect traces on the top copper layer to traces on the bottom.

Here is my opinion on the matter: given that that the probability of me interacting personally with Gates is on the order of a rounding error, I don't really care if he's actually a nice guy or if he's the greatest actor in t

The Earth is miniscule in comparison to the planets that have hundreds of moons. Those just have a stronger gravity field

Mostly because of conservation of angular momentum: the solar system formed while spinning, and that direction has been maintained. The cases where this is not true (for example, Uranus has its poles "facing the plane" instead of

Moons generally orbit on the same plane as their planet's orbit plane

So, let me see if I understand this correctly: this is supposed to run on z80-based computers after an armageddon comes and all the other "modern" computers are out of business, so people start building them by scavenging parts. O

by frabert 7y ago
That's a microarchitectural detail, point is you can view modern CPUs as more than 64bit wide, at least databus-wise.
262.
by frabert 7y ago
What for? AVX512 instructions can work on, well, 512bits of data at a time, while 64bits worth of address lines offer way more ram than available today. What's your use case?

Interestingly, analog reverbs and some other kinds of time-delay effects (echo, flanger, chorus) were made using so-called bucket-brigade devices which are indeed analog in the amplitude domain, but not in the time domain, where they are ve

Then the first delay would be off.

In theory, completely possible. In practice, strong enough materials to hold a vacuum are too heavy and nullify the buoyancy.

Exactly. I used a similar approach to install Space Empires III on a Windows 10 x64 machine which would not run its 16bit installer but would run the 32bit game itself just fine.
