What I had in mind is the programmers' view of the code: in K&R C, every function call was visibly either direct or indirect, `f()` or `(*f)()`. My main concern is not actually performance, but comprehensibility: an indirect call i

I second the recommendation to try Pilot first, though I haven't used any of their recent disposables. Pilot nibs are just remarkably consistently good. As a starter I'd suggest the Pilot Metropolitan with a medium nib (as Asian n

What you say about dynamic dispatch also applies to regular function calls, which is why I'm disappointed that Zig provides no visible distinction at the call site between direct and indirect calls (as K&R C did but ANSI C made opt

Vouching never seems to work for me. I used to use it when I thought a comment had been unfairly flagged even when I disagreed with it (as in this case), and I suspect I've had my vouching ability shadow-disabled for diverging from the

My Photoshop install from a previous life is a major reason I still keep a 15-year-old Mac running. Krita is really nice but it's an artist's tool, not a general image editor. GIMP is a general image editor but… not really nice.

His thesis was 1983, so it was well established by then. (It's not itself online, but in case anyone's curious, a description of a project using the work is at http://doi.org/10.1145/1096419.1096446 thanks

Pretty amazing that he did that when he was two. At that age I was still struggling with BASIC. Maybe he had help from GPT. (The actual Leonard E Shar seems to have his name on a single paper, which is not about this, but about a pipelined

Oh, it's too bad C2x doesn't seem to be following C++20 here, since they're apparently mandating two's complement.

Bitwise multiplication is bitwise ‘and’, so exponentiation (repeated multiplication) is the identity, so aⁿ+bⁿ=cⁿ iff a+b=c. I have a truly remarkable proof of this, but my filesystem is full.

Sounds like something LLMs would actually be good for. They're not getting us fusion power or cancer cures.
