Yes, that's how I read it mentally, but that was not my point.

Coming from 6502, 68000, and similar families, I have always found it weird that mov eax, ebx means moving ebx into eax. When you move something, you move it to its destination, not from its destination. mov A, B should me

What's not verifiable is your claim that it couldn't be valued higher with a different CEO. That is unfalsifiable.

Except Emil is talking about "Java exceptions", not "Java runtime exceptions". Because Java's checked exceptions have the exact same good qualities that Rust's question mark operator offers.

Thank you for the kind words, and I totally agree with your perspective.

COVID killed more than 6 million people. That number would have been much higher if there were more people like you, going against medicine and scientific recommendations. We won this battle despite people like you, so please, leave your ba

I've met all kinds. People who are stellar managers, have extremely high empathy and EQ, understand their engineers, prop them up, help their career, guide them toward both professional and personal growth. They also did not have a sin

You're missing his point. Downloading any illegal software can compromise your email and bank accounts and basically ruin your life. It only takes one.

Yes for elastic shocks, but bat to ball is not an elastic hit (well, barely one, to the point where the physics you refer to don't matter).

by hota_mazi 4y ago
That's actually not true. The distance the ball flies has a lot more to do with bat speed than ball speed (something like 5mph for 1mph, if I recall correctly).

It's disappointing they would keep that odd << syntax, which has always looked weird to me. Why not take this opportunity to streamline the calling syntax? Streams are no different than regular function calls, e.g. cout.output(&q

The mathematicians referenced in this article are indeed fans of the band: > The name of the challenge was the Liquid Tensor Experiment (LTE), and yes it was a homage to the Liquid Tension Experiment, a band which Scholze is fond of.

That's a pretty ridiculous statement. The 68k ran rings around the 6502 in terms of speed, addressing (well, duh), bus, memory access, ... basically, everything. The 16 bit Intel competitors were technically inferior to it but... they

That's the very definition of what sleep() does, and the reason why, if you're calling it in an async context, you need to dispatch it in a special "blocking" dispatcher, as opposed to the other regular async calls.

The magazine(s) made similar statement about every single new technology it came across. Pascal, CP/M, OS/2, Logo, Smalltalk, etc... That was its shtick. Of course some of these predictions were going to turn out to be true.

Good habit, maybe, but it shouldn't cause a compilation failure. Add to that the snowball effect: you comment out a variable, compile, and you get another error because commenting out variable a made variable b unused. Rinse and repeat

I stand corrected. I remember using MUI back then, maybe it added this behavior although even now, I'm no longer sure I can trust my memory on that.
