All of those formats are designed to be translated to machine code when maximum performance is desired. Whereas Lua byte code is designed and optimized to be interpreted directly. One step in Lua's evolution was to change from a stack

I appreciate your point of view. I'd be happy to see a "internationalist" future that involves a two-state solution along with verified inspections of militarization, UN governance of Jerusalem, etc. Unfortunately I don&#x27

I agree that the 2017 charter hints at acceptance of 1967 borders, and that its formulation is ambiguous in this sense (my "unambiguous" comment was in the context of analyzing whether Hamas would want to be citizens of Israel --

I think this is a great example of what I was talking about upthread. If your position is that it's Israel's responsibility to protect and value Gaza's civil and religious infrastructure more than Hamas itself does, then you

How do you work with an organization that is explicitly dedicated to destroying your state and killing your people? Do you just hope they didn't mean the things they wrote in their charter?

I don't think Hamas wants to be citizens of Israel, the western-style democracy. Its charter (even the softened 2017 version) unambiguously rejects recognition of Israel: "There shall be no recognition of the legitimacy of the Zi

Why can they build a war machine (tunnels, rockets, etc) but not a civil society? I really am curious what young Americans expect Israel to do.

Everything you say is true. The only reason Western nations tolerate it, in my view, is because they have witnessed the alternative. To continue your analogy, Israel tried to "graduate" Gaza to adulthood in 2005. The army remove

Add up all the riots of 1965 - 1968 and it is still less damage than 2020. That's not an exaggeration, it is what the numbers say. If peaceful protestors find that fact undermining, they should take it up with the violent protestors w

Those "overwhelmingly peaceful" protests caused an estimated $1-2B in property damage, making them the most destructive protests (from an insurance perspective) in the last 50 years: https://www.axios.com/2020&#x2F

Operators with precedence rules frequently appear in top-down parsers. I agree that pure-LL form doesn't make this easy, but most languages I have seen use Pratt parsers that allow precedence parsing within a top-down framework. It d

by haberman 2y ago
Do you know of any particularly readable constructs that are possible with LR but incompatible with LL? My general opinion is that any constructs that confuse a parser will also confuse a human.

But that one has at least some potential mitigation. Per his analysis, the Java/JIT case is the only one that has no mitigation: > Javier Honduvilla Coto (Polar Signals) did some interesting work using an eBPF walker to reduce the

The biggest objection seems to be the Java/JIT case. eh_frame supports a "personality function" which is AIUI basically a callback for performing custom unwinding. If the personality function could also support custom logic

Indeed there is different code generated by seq_cst for stores. Though for loads it appears to be the same: https://godbolt.org/z/WbvEcM83q

I've never actually seen a production lock-free algorithm that uses SeqCst. I have a hard time even imagining an algorithm where SeqCst is the right choice. It seems like SeqCst was chosen as a default to reduce the surprises and gotc

If detecting abuse requires knowing the identities of the people involved, it sounds like another way of saying that some behaviors are fine if they are directed at certain people, but "abuse" if directed at other people. Which is

No, I'm proposing erring on the side of consistency. I think it's likely that this strategy would result in less "censorship" in some cases, and more in others. What we have now is a system where, on many platforms, mod

True neutral means moderating consistently, judging behavior without regard to identity. The ideal, platonic version of this would be that moderators only see an "identity scrambled" version of each tweet/post when they make
