don't get ahead of yourself... that ABI isn't there yet. :P

> the requirement that all code be unwindable. i would not call that an improvement in all cases... the extra code produced by enabling exceptions, even for the latest compilers, produces enough bloat and slow down for basically everyone

its quite intentional that on x64 the default convention for the compiler and the default convention for the platform is identical. the "constant headache" you allude to played no small part in that decision i would say...

its a shame this only glosses over the subject, and starts with a highly misleading example and then continues with plenty more misleading information. unix/windows are not interchangeable with compilers targetting those platforms. the

cool. can you make it faster than C though please? (seriously) i think it might even happen by accident in some cases already though. the places where C can be beaten for performance are, in my experience, from design choices in the C stand

not into my body its not. at least based on my many years of using electrical devices - i've not seen this kind of problem on the same level that i can remember, except for the static build up on old CRT TVs.

a long time ago i used to work in a factory testing fairly low build quality computers, if i did their qa process on macbooks they would fail this 15 year old test because of this. i know that us standards are often different to uk, europe

now if they can just make it earthed by not lacquering the connector designed for that purpose to make it shiny... maybe macbooks everywhere will stop giving people shocks (!)

round trip times. it makes somethings impossible with that much interchange required to send anything - and it will never go away because the speed of light is a hard limit.

wait! we should use the scientific method for science? its a radical suggestion. sad that it is, but true... ;) seriously though... you can't have falsifiable results if you don't constantly try to falsify them. then it just becom

It's a bit of a baseless gimmick when it comes to 3D... gives you nothing much over a good understanding of CSS and geometry... which is probably good, but what did it give us for 2D?

i've often complained about "clever" code. simple code is easier to maintain, and clever tricks are difficult to read... speaking of difficult to read. please don't set examples with terrible single letter variable names

having worked on and written x of this class of thing over the years this made an interesting browse and read, but i've not been inspired to anything new by it sadly... and i wouldn't have a use for it in practice. it seems a bit

new constraints though... you got a fit a couple of shaders in there too :)

i can tell you first hand that it does an awful job with my collection of facebook friends. it doesn't prioritise the people i care about most or even the things nearest to me... and more than once has absolutely polluted my feed with

its even more than that of course... the network has to poke its fingers in somewhere, i'd be guessing it prunes those trees - so it is a bit more than playing lots of games really fast

i use cygwin as well, but there is enough cruft around the edges that i would drop it in a heartbeat for something more polished and less hacky. accidentally typing ls in a regular ol' windows command prompt leading to explosive crashe

so even the smartest of us are susceptible to magical thinking and superstition it seems... :)

do we realise that so many people will read this and not realise its not real? misinformation can be amusing, but its also harmful :/

how is this top item? seems unfinished, unpolished, not very useful and very run of the mill as an achievement. no easily found windows installer and has obscure dependencies whilst claiming it has none etc. etc.

seems like a lot these companies riding the 'disrupt' bandwagon are basically just cutting corners and not doing their due diligence - then operating illegally. its really quite sad that vcs apply pressure to do this... but then i

some over quoted thing about bad workmen comes to mind... i prefer to think that a master craftsman is one who can take any tools and materials and use them to produce good work... if not exceptional.

You have to remember as well that cheapness matters, especially when piracy is actually the norm to the point that genuine copies are considered a frivolous luxury... which is true for the vast majority of people on this planet. I'd ea
