Faxes are "signature-proof" for contracts. Scanned documents in an email are not. That's the law being broken. Not the tech.

The goal is not to built yet-another-hyperscaler. The existing hyperscalers will integrate in GAIA-X. Rather we want to give users the power to see where their data is stored and to control the use of their data if they choose to share it

That's because in such a big project, you have to start with the goals and the guiding principles. More concrete specs and technologies are being built, but not ready to show. One of the authors of the "technical architecture docu

Unfortunately, this comparison uses Guile 2.2. Guile 3 is out and has greatly improved the performance via Wingo‘s JIT. AFAIK the biggest point that brought Guile-Emacs to a standstill is the internal string representation of Emacs that is

Quite a few new languages generate C code for the “backend” of their compiler. For example ATS and the ZZ language. This helps bringing these languages to embedded targets with closed toolchains (with an existing C compiler). Will there be

C11 has seen new features, such as Generic Selection. Is the current language standardization converging (just adding clarifications, removing the surface for undefined behavior, etc.) or is C still growing with new features? In other words

The same is happening with Firefox. Many "infrastructure" software projects have switched to time-based releases. Say, a release every 6 months. So there is no notion of big or small releases. Hence the seemingly fast increase of

As you write, plants can do this quite efficiently via photosynthesis. So there is at least one working example where CO2 capture is resource-efficient (even solar-powered). From photosynthesis we get sugar. From sugar we can get to raw (so

The analysis is incomplete. It does not take services into account. Yes, Germany has a positive trade balance in goods. But the trade balance in services is negative. This ... well ... balances the balances. The UK has shifted its economy f

That’s LLVM as a JIT compiler. In pure byte-code interpreter mode, Julia is quite more responsive.

This has to be upvoted more! There was already a lot of talk about LuaJit being unmaintainted last year. When Mike Pall was even more active.

All C compilers I know either have VLA or alloca. In one of my projects, a bit of macro magic uses either VLA or alloca to generate a temporary array. Works great! I don't have further requirements here. Please explain what you mean by

This is all good and well. But why XeTeX as a starting point instead of LuaTeX? Most distributions started the transition from pdfTeX to LuaTeX as the main implementation. And the code from the new translation from the original Pascal to C

Is the current MSVC STL still derived from the original Dinkumware STL? It’s surprising to see it Apache licensed if that is the case. It seems Plauger is still selling it to other specialized compiler vendors. https://en.m.wikip

Probably it took ages for the first invocation. Because that is when the compiler has to produce native code. The compiled codes then is super fast. Just invoke it a second time (in the REPL) to see the difference.

The above assumes that the same C compiler is used everywhere. Say you suspect your gcc to be infected. If a second compiler, say clang, can compile the gcc sources and this gcc then recompiles itself bit-identical to the original, then gcc

Everybody will try to get as much food over the border as possible. Everybody will work together. The EU, the UK, the US, everybody. But this could still go very very bad. What do you think "chaos at the border" means? Every truck
