The article doesn't seem to talk about it, but why do people crave authenticity anyway, as if they were afraid that they were getting scammed by their food? Nobody cares that spaghetti bolognese isn't from Bologna or that Haägen D

Oh, David, it's you! Hah! I didn't realise when I first read the article, didn't see the username. I just want to thank you again for all of your gcc work. I am so glad when you reached out to us for GNU Octave. How is libgcc

Ever so once in a while, I see stuff like this, remember my C++ days, and feel excited about trying to write more C++… and then I snap out of it, like remembering why you broke up with an ex-lover in the first place. No, but seriously, this

How about Advent of Code? They start out easy, but after a while the difficulty is all over the place, and it'll force you to seek out new features of the language. It's a somewhat "realistic" way to learn the language,

Concurrency isn't the same thing as parallelism. You can have concurrency without ever executing two things at the same time. You just give some CPU cycles to one threaad, then pause it, give cycles to the other thread, and keep switch

Hey, if you're curious about anything else I wrote in that blog post, just ask me. I thought the concurrency was a big highlight, but there's lots of other parts of D that I would love to talk about. As I said, the whole thing was

Sigh, right. I forgot. jwz checks your referrer and redirects you if you come from HN.

I just use it without worrying if it's popular or not. It's popular enough to have a good collection of 3rd party libraries and a very good standard library, and a package manager inherited from the popular enough Vibe.d web frame

It's always exciting for me to see more D usage. What's nice is that it has both gcc and llvm frontends, with all the optimisations and target architectures that those come with, such as the article's ARM. I recently worked t

Kind of the point for me of using Debian is to not have to go shopping around all of the web for packages and because I want to have a uniform packaging standard: Debian Policy. That's why I don't trust anyone but Debian to produc

by jordigh 9y ago
So this has taught me something I didn't know about all Debian: not all CVEs have the same priority or have to be fixed in point releases. Many CVEs don't even get acknowledged by a Debian Security Advisory at all. I guess if I wa

Can someone explain this to me? I've had an issue with Postgres on Debian stable because Postgres had to address a CVE which changed its dump format in a backwards-incompatible way. This meant that my local Debian on my laptop couldn&#

Yeah, I don't like that much either. :-) Thankfully, that usage seems to be petering out?

It's a bit odd how the word "pimping" has come to mean "embellish". I know how it happened, from "pimp my ride", a show that tried to use "street" language for effect. I can't shake the awfu

Eh, if I don't get what I want, so be it. I'm not demanding it. I thought you might know of something like it. If I can get what I was looking for, all the better, though. Maybe I'm just a very specialised audience: I know en

I guess, but that's a bit of a firehose. Is there really nothing intermediate between the NYT and just scouring all the journals? Something like the AMS notices or Terry Tao's blog, but slightly more frequently updated?

I'm sure other people like this style of article. I'm just telling you I don't. Even the steps 1-5 are a bit fluffy for me. If you had just told me "drop a height to the the hypotenuse and use similar triangles" I w

I find this style a bit frustrating to read. I just want to know what his proof is, but there's so much fluff in the article that the actual meat is kind of hidden. So anyway, "his" proof is to drop a height to the hypotenuse

ohai, I was wondering who you were. Yeah, the federated timeline is a bit odd. I'm not exactly sure how I got started, but I did look at the randomness for a bit and started picking up people that looked interesting, and, ahem, sociall

I don't know if it will catch on or what will happen to it if it will, but Mastodon right now is a wonderful place of "censorship" that I'm really enjoying (@JordiGH@mathstodon.xyz in case anyone wants to say hi). I hope

I don't think this is the same. My C++ is getting rusty, so correct me if I'm wrong, but making a function const is mostly about making the "this" pointer const. A const function can still mutate global variables or call

It looks like Ninja Gaiden was recently spotted in Montreal: https://www.reddit.com/r/montreal/comments/7yauuc/to_the_gam... From the sound of it, the gamer was young. Even newer generations seem to enjo

I really like D's approach instead. A function declared pure can have no side effects but it can do whatever kind of mess it wants within its own code. It can have loops, assignments, reassignments, memory allocations, but it can'

xfig has x-splines (cross splines), and I've always wondered why they never got more popular elsewhere. Basically, they have an extra parameter at each endpoint that allows you to smoothly pick between approximation, smooth interpolati
