I also wish I could make certain variables/flags part of the dependencies of a file, like if I have something with a lot of #defines that I really want to rebuild any time CPPFLAGS changes

I wouldn’t think they need to be if the releases are manually prepared and signed

How well do screen readers parse other compiler errors? This isn’t me trying to be snarky, I actually have no idea! Reading a C++ template error is hard enough as a sighted person

by legobmw99 3y ago
If you use the same syntax as OP, C’s parser will also round that literal. The existence of a hex literal for floats is something orthogonal

This seems completely unrelated to the grandparent comment’s mention of open source LLMs

Why would open source models make this scenario you are painting better?

Question from reading the abstract: how does one acquire this “second (trusted) compiler” when you are genuinely suspicious you are facing an adversary using an attack like this one?

I’m not quite following what the diff here is suggesting - was this some cmake magic to detect if a feature was enabled, but the file had an intentional syntax error?

You really have to feel for the author. Stepping aside for personal reasons and having someone else take up the mantle of a project is supposed to be a success story of open source - I myself have been on both sides of that process before.

I believe they also do not include sub modules, which is a big disadvantage for some projects

Perhaps the commenter means something like reverse mode automatic differentiation? Finite differences does indeed have stability issues, and even if you apply some tricks will only give you about half float precision

That honestly doesn’t seem that horrible - particularly compared to some of the nigh-on-impossible tasks like bootstrapping GHC (For the curious) https://elephly.net/posts/2017-01-09-bootstrapping-haskell-p...

Wasn’t this anti-stall software exactly what caused those two fatal crashes a few years back?

If you subscribe to a service from your phone, it does show up there. My MLB subscription is also usable from my computer, but because I bought it on my phone it’s manageable there. Presumably if they decided to move that app to a 3rd party

Unity also wanted it to be retroactive to some extent IIRC

I think they do, but in a workflow where “make small commits” is now “make small merge requests”. When the merge request is squashed and merged, the message matters (which they say), but if you’re iterating on one small feature with feedbac

This gives a good overview of the pains in getting a package on to CRAN, but that is sadly only the beginning. If you end up getting users, the process described here becomes fractally bad for future updates, as you can also receive rejecti

Java and C# seem to have actually gotten the idea of multiple implementations correct, in the sense that I have never needed to worry about the specific runtime being used as long as I get my language version correct. I have basically never

I used Coq in one class in school, and I never encountered wat or wreck. It’s possible they’re user- or library-defined tactics. One thing I think is important about Coq is that it really is meant to be interactive. Even after a fair amount
