The example in the slide uses `-Wall -O`, and `-Wall` includes `-Wuninitialized`. Recent versions of GCC have a revamped syntax tree analyzer, which was needed for the new tree-vectorize features. It does more work from the outset these day

No, by "deep understanding," he means "knowing how your code will run on a given system," which can have a lot to do with "getting the job done," especially if your code must be fast and stable.

Corporations in the US are legally persons. Persons earning greater than $350,000 per year have an income tax rate of 35%. The problem is probably that they're legally defined as persons.

That sounds like exactly what Linus does with pull requests on LKML.

Not when you're trying to hit a size limit. At that point, performance is only a secondary concern.

Sorry, I can't. I've tried, but I can't quite grok Emacs. I tried to for org-mode, because I need just such a tool. But after using VimOrganizer and looking at vim-orgmode (both of which claim to be replacements), I'd just as soon settle fo

Those rationale can be proven to be false in virtually any industry. Patents are supposed to be an inducement, but that rationale alone falls flat on its face once you realize that invention takes place in the absence of patent protections.

In that case, wouldn't it be more fair to compare it to a C++ re-implementation of sprintf using the new `constexpr` keyword?

This article unfortunately doesn't address many of the things that concern me the most about stored procedures: Mainly my problem is that writing "business logic" (Can we stop using that phrase? It smacks of managerial buzzwordism.) in SQL

The problem with PHP isn't that it lets you do dumb things. It's that doing dumb things is idiomatic.

To be fair, commercial DBMS are rather quite expensive. Setting aside one additional multiprocessor license for every single developer on your team is... prohibitive.

I suspect that most "noSQL" advocates have a poor understanding of the difference between relational/structured data and unstructured/sparse data. Virtually all of the "noSQL" software is incapable of managing complex relational data, as fa

> The reason we have copyright and a patent system is very simple: they're optimizations to make society better at producing more new stuff. The big question is, do they work? The simple answer is "no." There is no evidence that any pat

I hope they do get recalled. If only everyone recognized the reason for this licensing debacle and revolted over it. Damn patents.

This page is unviewable in Chrome. All I get on my screen is corrupt garbage, like what you'd see on an old Atari when it crashes.

That's more or less what I told him on his other question. He originally wanted to make it more general-purpose, so that this same editor interface would be used for programming languages in general. I did my best to talk him out of that ma

My understanding is that XML was derived from document-oriented SGML, to beat SGML into a form that would work well with XSL and XPath. But I'd like to point out that the way SGML-derived markup distinguishes attributes and child nodes is

XML was a solution to a problem that didn't exist. Actually, no, I take that back. XML was a solution that was created for a problem that was devised to justify the work. It's insanity for the sake of itself. JSON is simply a serialized obj

There's no emulated layer. The CPU offers a 32-bit compatibility mode that works akin to 8086 virtual mode on earlier processors. The 64-bit kernel just sets a few flags and drops to 32-bit mode, switches tasks and goes. No overhead.

by greyfade 15y ago
But why no 64-bit support on Windows or Mac OS X, where 64-bit is on track to become the norm? The lack of 64-bit for Linux is just a symptom of what seems to be a problem at Adobe.

D somewhat lacks stability. The language is still maturing and there was, for a long time, a major split in which standard library was... standard (and even now, that question isn't really clear). There's also the issue of tools - there are

The cloud layer on each depiction is distracting - they used the same cloud cover data from a modern year for all 30 samples. This would be much better with either no cloud cover at all or (if our climate models are good enough) realistical

It's understandable, yes, but only under the condition that the executives are blissfully unaware of the backlash this can cause or that excessive control does nothing to stop "piracy" on the platform. (It sure didn't help Sony.)
