People will not like this, but the reason populations are shrinking is because women don't want to have many kids. Ask any modern woman, the majority view child rearing as a huge burden, and most would think three kids is way too much.

Highly suspect. I've been living in Japan for over 5 years. Never heard of this. I've even tried to casually mention while chatting with some of Japanese people I know about eating insects and they were all disgusted by it.

You are conflating two things: 1) The right to publish content that is not in line with mainstream politics 2) The right to spam replies against tweets of people you don't follow (directly or indirectly) for the purpsoe of marketing Th

You're thinking in terms of badly designed technologies you are familiar with. I'm talking just about a solution to the problem at hand: Instead of storing files on servers controlled by a 3rd party company (and calling it "t

by hsn915 4y ago
If you're a company, this is solvable by making the files live in a server the company controls. If you're an individual this is obviously not a concern.

What is this, red herring, ad hominom, and straw man, all in one sentence? It's well established that most published research in Psychology and Sociology does not replicate. So there's that. If you don't want to accept that,

The exact opposite. Most published research is bogus. Not everything is physics or chemistry. Most things are actually not. I'd rather advice based on extensive experience and wisdom than "research shows that ...". Basically

I suppose for me it's the opposite: that's one of the attractive things about it. It doesn't just blindly accept the way things have always been done. > Cargo is best-in-class, but the build times for our monorepo convince

I found this out by just trial and error. Hold and walk until they sleep, then keep walking for 5-10 minutes, or just sit down for 10 minutes before laying them on the bed.

While that sounds abhorant to me, I can't think of a reason why you can't fit the odin compiler in there. Just have a step where the odin compiler is executed, and take its output and pipe it through the rest of the system.

The difference is that in the case of UB in C the compiler will say "aha! I will just assume this can never happen", where as with platform-dependent behavior, the compiler can never make such assumption, so has to be conservative

This requires macOS 12.5 but it doesn't seem like it's released? At least for my region? System preferences "Software updates" tab says I'm on the latest (12.4) and there are no updates for me to install. How am I s

No, the compiler is not "already" doing that. Odin uses the llvm as a backend (for now) and it turns off some of those UB-driven optimimzations (as mentioned in the OP). Some things are defined by the language, some things are def

This is neither here nor there. Suppose you have a "working theory" about how birds fly, but no theory about other things might hypothetically fly. Does that afford you to claim "Nothing other than birds can fly"?

I'm confused. What sort of advantage do you imagine a build system like Bazel would provide for you? Build systems for C are bandaids. You would not ideally want them. They are extra baggage that you just have to carry around because o

The distinction between make and new is similar to Go. new allocates memory for the given type. make allocates memory referenced by the type. For example, a slice is defined as: slice :: struct { data: rawptr, length:

Odin emerged partly out of the "Handmade Network" which is a group of people interested in a style of programming that is very different from what is usually accepted by the rest of the industry as best practice. See: https:&#x2F

Odin's stance towards undefined behavior was probably the decisive element that made me prefer it over the other languages. https://twitter.com/TheGingerBill/status/1495004577531367425

This reminds of the Jordan Peterson thing where when he's asked "Do you believe in God" he replies with "Depends on what you mean by believe and God".
