Ah thank you I was looking for the name and couldn't remember it.

No, you didn't miss anything, apart maybe the fact that I wrote this tongue-in-cheek. ;-)

Can we define an order of "specialness" on the set of sequences? Because in this case, you have a subset of the non-special sequences which are the least special of all. Which makes them special.

Yes, I read that, but that's not really what I ask. What makes JIT improve performance only for CPU-intensive work? I don't understand the connection there.

I wonder what makes the Symfony Demo App not being faster with the JIT compiler (as shown on https://www.php.net/releases/8.0/en.php and https://susi.dev/php8-benchmark-jit-symfony ). Maybe because

Fortunately C++ won't suffer from this kind of problems since there, you can make your regex builder a constexpr! (lol)

Interesting take on the matter. In my case, looking at my past behaviour, I tend to prefer veeeeery long games apparently. I've "finished" Elder Scrolls 3 Morrowind only recently (and I still have to go through one last DLC).

Yeah, I hate being that kind of guy but seriously... oneliners displayed over 5 lines because the columns are very small, commands in dark red on black...

That was my point actually, that French is also a terrible language for all the reasons cited above.

The "helpers" you're talking about also cause their own problem in French, though. "Président" can be a noun (in that case you would pronounce the final syllable with a nasal "en". It can also be a conjuga

If English is an inferior language because the spelling doesn't match the pronunciation, the grammar and the conjugation are atrocious and the vocabulary is all over the place because it has inherited pieces from every origin imaginabl

The language of palindroms over a finite alphabet is described by a deterministic context-free grammar, you need a pushdown automaton (i.e. a finite state machine with a stack) to recognize it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&

I recently got to witness the delicate use of an atomic force microscope from a very crude GUI on a Windows 95 computer. I was told by the person in charge of the lab that of course they could find a more recent tool but it would be too exp

I wouldn't call C untyped because implicit conversions happen all the times. It's just that it assumes that since you declare your variables with a type, when you assign them, you know what is going to happen.

Not that I have formation or experience in the field but my understanding was that only antibodies were passed from the mother to the children, not lymphocytes or immunity memory. But now that I google it, there is a rather new body of rese

Maybe part of that feeling is due to the perfect grids cities are laid out as in America (North and South)? In Europe, roads look like they've been drawn by throwing a game of Mikado on a map. It definitely gives them some character. :

I would say it has its advantages and issues but in any case, it's not being imposed on any country. Many have chosen not to use it.

What do you mean by "managed" exactly?

Ok, wrong example. Let's say, most people would never dare to make racist insults to anyone on the streets but many do so copiously online.

AirBnB and Uber are a bit different though, because being online gives you a sense of immunity and relieves a lot of inhibition that you'd have in real life. To some degree, we all have a different sense of morality online and in real

At least, in France, in my opinion, it's becoming difficult to find favourable coverage of the government in the press, even in state-owned media. I find it neutral at best.

Depression caused by a burn-out, caused by a very sh*tty professional situation. I don't think it's unique to the tech sector but the tech industry _is_ harsh on people.

Well, there actually are decent graphical interfaces for GnuPG and plugins for email clients. Doing all of this manually in the shell is not a requirement to use encryption.

And years 1942-1945 were exceptionally hot, but with a lot of contrast. In France, minimal maximal temperature of February 1945 was 10°C but it froze mid-May.
