Generic data structures work great if they use a void* since malloc returns a void*. Just malloc your structs, and suddenly a single set of 10 or so functions can work with all data types to build queues, lists, hash maps, etc

The next obvious step for webdev is to build its own JS powered array of gates, like an fpga, then a virtual machine for it.

Battlefront 1 was an amazing game released by an amazingly talented game studio way ahead of its time.

The mid 2000s was truly an amazing time when hardware support for even shadows or lighting forced developers to fully disable graphical setting drop downs based on your hardware. A shame, though, because 10-15 years into the future there&#x

And of course, this is why C++'s 40 years of backwards compatibility is so important. The same compiler can maintain the same code. The new features are there, but they do not necessarily need to be used.

From my personal experience, a company wants a "yes man", someone who will do as they command. From their perspective, if you can't pass (or refuse!) the coding challenge, you're already in the red flag zone. That's

This is juxtaposition, a form of literary style. He is sarcastically downplaying the _flu_ in comparison to the world wars because the _flu_ is already significantly lesser than the holocaust or an atomic bomb landing in Japan.

My prof spent 8 whole months teaching us systems modeling and PID mathematics only to tell us there's no reasonable way to set your PID values... You gotta guess and check!

Yes, though I'm not at the formation stage just yet. Boids just know how to stear organically much like Zerglings do. Boids just provide distancing at the micro level. Astar or Greedy First Best at the macro level ultimately provides t

It probably was their idea, but you are right, it was the idea others before their idea. Difference is, their idea came to fruition, and their idea has contributed to what is arguably the world's most important piece of software

Isn't C++'s selling point that it is compatible with almost 45 years of code? Seems like a terrible thing to break this late

Yes boids are great for parallelization. Each boid must compute a stressor imposed by neighboring boids based on the three rules in the paper (separation, alignment, and drifting towards center of mass). The stressor for each boid is simpl

C is still prevalent in embedded systems. Something like a clean slate strong type checker to remove C's weak type checking would be greatly appreciated for those who mainly work in IOT where C++ is already treated like C with classes.

True, but wouldn't that incentivize people to seek out masks when the already short supply is needed for the health care workers?

Yes but a static analyzer could enforce _new_ projects to maintain single ownership model, which could push C and its existing tools closer to Rust. A borrow checker for C is totally feasible as it is just compile time analysis of object li

Wouldn't it make more sense for -fanalyze to work like a rust borrow checker?

For the longest time I thought a green username meant you were a hackernews mod, and I kept asking myself why hackernews mods were such trolls.

It would wear me down. I need a bit of a chit chat and bullshitting with co-workers to get through my day. I can only look at JIRA with so much self-motivation.
