English is not my first language, but to me the construct "to urge not to do something" in the title feels off. I think I only saw it without the negative, with some implied urgency... And now that I spelled it out, "urge&quo

Abolish copyright then. The selective enforcement needs to stop.

This is probably Windows pulling LG software through Windows Update bases in EDID. Linux won't ever do this BS.

This first became apparent to me when I got a slide rule. Pi is often marked on the various scales and an x^2 scale is often nearby the x scale.

Capillary action is subject to the same limits as suction at the top. Capillary action can't increase the water pressure at the bottom of the tree. If you put a straight thin capillary tube upright in water so it sucks up water from th

I am working on it. Floating-point IO is rather heavyweight, so the usual approach of naively slapping constexpr on all the things and putting them in headers can have some observable negative consequences on resource usage during compilati

One reason to use inline assembly is to use instructions that are basically unknown to the compiler, in which case it can't really tell what is being accessed/modified.

GP probably meant "POD for the purpose of layout" in the Itanium ABI. It's not the same as standard layout, and POD is not a term in recent C++ standards.

Linear light (if that really is a term of art).

by leni536 4mo ago
Depends. Many times a linear colorspace is exactly what you want.

by leni536 4mo ago
Specified by whom? Not the C standard for sure. It is indeed soecified by individual ABIs, and ABIs don't tend to do anything too weird, but that's another question.

Pokémon being used for war efforts is prime South Park material, too bad they already did that.

This is what the typing spec says about type narrowing[1]: "Type checkers should narrow the types of expressions in certain contexts. This behavior is currently largely unspecified." Have fun. [1] https://typing.pytho

Implementation-defined without further constraining the behavior is not much better than undefined. Defining it to always error would add overhead even for proper aligned access on x86, as the generated code would need to explicitly check i

Unaligned access being fine in one architecture, but not in others would create separate dialects, regardless of being blessed by ISO C. Just don't do unaligned access, it's a dialect that doesn't exist currently, and should

Only in C, that one is defined in C++. edit: I'm not sure it's even undefined in C.

by leni536 5mo ago
Undefined means that the ISO C doesn't define the behavior. An implementation is free to do so.

How do you compare? What trusted channel do you use to retrieve the real public key?
