Not knowing the exact language used by the C standard, I suspect the reason GCC doesn't cause these issues with most programs is that the wording of "array object" refers specifically to arrays with compile-time-known sizes,

If there are rooms in your house someone else could lock you out of, do you own the house or do they? If someone else could use your car without your permission, do you own the car or do they? If someone could grow their own plants in you b

I'm sure you can find people making arguments about a lack of quality from machines about textiles, woodworking, cinematography, etc., but digging holes? If you have a source of someone complaining about hole quality I'll be fasci

Curious what makes you say it'd be less legally dubious than an emulator? To me, it seems this would be at the same legality as the NES emulator because you're basically 'emulating' the environment Roblox game code runs

I don't think what we have now fits that definition. LLMs are still narrowly good at language generation, and the "many" things it's good at are things that have canonical textual / linguistic representations (code,

Reminds me of a discussion that Casey Muratori and Robert Martin had over clean code and it's impact on performance... but not because of the subject matter. They were using GitHub as a medium for their discussion, and they ran into so

The way it is written is to say that this is an important interview question for any software engineering position, and I'm guessing you agree by the way you say it's critical. But by the same logic, should we be asking for the

It "must" be done in the sense that `dyn Error`, anyhow, and (if we include zig's equivalent) inferred error sets mean something different than setting up an error enum. Using an error enum makes the failures explicit, which

Honestly, with a lot of HN debating the merits of LLMs for generating code, I wish it were an unwritten rule that everyone states the stack they're using with it. It seems that the people who rave about it creating a whole product line

This seems written to sound like a profound piece of wisdom, but I find it difficult to not interperet it as a very flowery way of saying "git gud." If that is indeed what you mean then that is fine, but it is still worth acknowle

The argument is not that this theoretical 3rd party would be a for-profit company, but that there's already existing for-profit companies that exist and could serve that purpose, and that the new 3rd party wouldn't see much use

Sure, people make mistakes all the time. But would you prefer those mistakes be sprinkled randomly throughout your data crunching, or be systematic errors? The point that that post is making is that a machine isn't going to make a mist

It really feels as though Amazon's greatest fear is the idea that you might search for something and get no results. If we show you BS you explicitly said you aren't looking for then we're giving up the opportunity of trickin

I believe a restriction for `constexpr`/`consteval` is that you can do memory allocations but they must all be freed at the end of the evaluation. Arbitrary precision means arbitrary memory usage means allocation that's the runtim

For whatever reason, Ravenholm didn't particularly unsettle me. I don't know what it is, maybe expectation from the praise it receives left me underwhelmed, or maybe it's the fact that I was quite literally a toddler when the

There are a few things that come to mind that make this different: 1. This isn't really privacy breaching. For someone who taps the "share to youtube" button without knowing what it means, sure, but even that is pretty explic

Trump has stated that his biggest regret from his term is that the people he appointed to various positions, while quite competent and/or experienced, would push back on ideas or plans he proposed. In other words, they weren't loy

Honestly sounds like that's Conway's law, but in reverse. Instead of a project's setup mirroring it's organization, the organization mirrors what they see as the ideal project setup. That's something that I wish mor
