Pretty unconvincing arguments overall. Mostly boils down to "any new language will start as new and not mature". Dismisses any "killer feature" in C's design space. Ignores that there is already a well established C

While I don't find any requirements on how timely the source distribution must be upon request, one can reasonably say that there must be a line between 1 nanosecond and 1 century.

In addition of being expensive, it's also a gamble. If it wasn't risky then I don't think financing it would be that big of an issue.

My experience is that if you have swap you better have a lot of it. Swapping is bad, but swapping and thrashing is a disaster.

Putting aside the discharge through the metal ball, it's impressice that the batteries didn't self discharge.

I think it is fair, as all the released CDs are identical. So all the symmetric keys used to encrypt the data are also necessarily identical.

The point of a rear rack is to use it, it's not there for style points.

What if the hallucinogen has long term health effects? What if tiny people show up for a participant years from the experiment, while driving? I guess you can be upfront about unknown unknowns, and most human experiments have some of those,

I don't know much about standard ethical frameworks used in these kinds of experiments, but giving hallucinogens with unknown long term health effects to participants feels somewhat unethical to me. Also, to get stronger results you wo

It's probably not ethical. How repeatable it is is for an experiment to decide, if it was possible to arrange ethically.

That limit is $5000 revenue per year. And this is not scoped down to "$5000 revenue from Delphi projects." It's basically student-only.

Precisely. ISO C and C++ have a notion of various implementation limits, one of which is nested function calls due to exhausting the stack. TCO could be about a carveout on this limit. Having said that the standards give way too much leeway

Yes and no. The Linux kernel barely interacts with the C calling convention ABI (vDSO), and you can interact with the OS without going through a C library. I guess the layout of some structs are exposed through some binary protocols, but mo

Neither of the ISO C and ISO C++ standards define an ABI.

The difference is notability, which is the criteria used whether a distinct Wikipedia article is warranted. There are multiple cited sources that use the "Noble disease" term, there are possibly much fewer similar publications wit

I would assign (3) to language runtimes and calling conventions rather than operating systems.

I recently learned that there is a business doing exactly that: https://iode.tech/ I don't think it's high volume, I think this is done by some of the microg folks. But OEMs probably do everything in their power t

The spiral rule makes no sense, I never got why it got popular.

I'm not sure that video would have been easier to postprocess. At what fps and shutter speed?

by leni536 2mo ago
Turns out some popular projects are popular for a reason. It is IMO cool, even if it's not novel.

I have the impression that creating monotonic floating point function is particularly hard. At least I know that std::lerp is designed to be monotonic in its t parameter (not even in a or b) and its implementation has a number of branches.

This is insane. I guess this is because of economic incentives, and expert witnesses risk losing work coming from prosecutors if they ever testify against them?

Fil-C is basically an alternate ABI and libc runtime. Otherwise it is not tied to C and I see no reason it couldn't be targeted by Rust or Zig.

Use pipewire and its pulseaudio facade.

Uh, is narrowing it to "adult" really necessary?

A similar opaque pointer pattern with member functions is possible to do with inheritance.
