Yes, to the extent that any violation of constitution injures me. Forcing me to say things I don't want to say under threat of punishment violates first amendment. It's been litigated and so concluded. The fact that it's the

In theory they could but in practice they don't want to. No company wants to loose $2B a year of free money. Suddenly loosing 45% of revenues would be devastating. And yes, MIT is a company. They have a CEO (under a different name), a

You're so obviously wrong. I watched multiple videos from Portland ICE protest, multiple videos of ICE arresting people, all with audio. Half the people at protests are recording. If you were right all that would be illegal. The magic

You try to pin this (hypothetical) as fascism. Let's assume Trump admin pressured Nvidia to invest in intel. Chips act (voted by Democrats / Biden) gave Intel up to $7.8 billion of YOUR money (taxes) in form of direct grants. Was

It could be because the role of courts is to interpret the laws enacted by congress. To my knowledge there is no law enacted by congress that dictates how SSN data is stored. Congress created the social security apparatus but day to day ope

I think this page describes "what" but not "why" of Carbon. Carbon exists so that it's possible to migrate a large C++ code base, like Chrome, from C++ to something saner, incrementally. The most important attribute

UserID and AccountID could just as well be integers. What he means is that by introducing a layer of indirection via a new type you hide the physical reality of the implementation (int vs. string). The physical type matters if you want to l

It makes sense, historically. They had AI features that were always on. Some people complained so they introduced a flag to, wait for it, disable the ai features. So they didn't think too deeply about it and named the flag "disabl

So you run the app. The other person runs the app. How do those 2 programs find out about each other? Well, they need to use some server that will connect all users, allow you to find the other person in order to send them a file. Even BitT

No. AirDrop is for people who are physically nearby. This allows to send files between any computers anywhere. The other person must be a known contact but it doesn't have to be on the same local network like in AirDrop.

The U.S. is $35 TRILLION in DEBT. It's on a fast path to very high inflation which will be bad for everyone. U.S. can't afford $18 billion of non-essential spending. It can't afford $1 billion of non-essential spending. In fa

The difference is that bank has a CEO that can take your money or loose it by doing risky things with your money. Bitcoin network doesn't have a CEO. It is what it is and will always be that. Bitcoin network will not decide, at some po

Governments print money because they want it and are ok with you loosing yours (via inflation). What you describe (buy high, sell low) is the opposite so what incentive the government (or anyone else) has to loose money? Sticking it to Bitc

Musk denied it: https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1943795272515301624 > These rumors are false. xAI is not seeking funding right now. We have plenty of capital.

He didn't "got rid of openai". When he left OpenAI the stated reason was conflict of interests: Tesla was ramping up work on self driving. He also hired A. Karpathy away from OpenAI to lead Tesla's ai vision.

At the time (11 years ago) I wanted this to run on Windows XP. The APIs you use there (e.g. SleepConditionVariableSRW()) were only added in Vista. I assume a big chunk of pthread emulation code at that time was implementing things like that

For some it's stupidity. For others it's brilliance. It's one of many examples of 80/20 design in Go: 80% of functionality with 20% of complexity and cost. Struct tags address an important scenario in an easy to use way.

Worth mentioning that this is only of interest as technical info on porting process. The port itself is very old and therefore very outdated.

Thanks, fixed. It works in msvc but as someone pointed out, it was a typo and was meant to be (void*) cast.

That's a fair point. I just looked and out of 35 uses of MkFunc0 only about 3 (related to running a thread) allocate the args. All others use a pointer to an object that exists anyway. For example, I have a class MyWindow with a button

I did use bind earlier in SumatraPDF. There are 2 aspects to this: programmer ergonomics and other (size of code, speed of code, compilation speed, understandability). Lambdas with variable capture converted to std::function have best ergon
