What the hell? That implies someone who can't implement security themselves was tasked with the design of said security. Actually, that sounds about right ..

GCC predates LLVM; it also produces better output, has more maintainers and users, and runs on more platforms.

LLVM IR is in SSA form (static single-assignment) THE most popular IR for compiler research of late. Pretty much a lingua franca; optimization techniques old and new have been adapted to work with SSA.

I don't think you understood what I was saying, and others replying to you are also off the mark, at least for the excerpt you quote. LLVM is a compiler framework. Retargetability is a function of compilers, not languages. Most compilers ar

An IR (intermediate representation) is "retargetable": meaning new processors can be supported with a new backend addon, not a full rewrite. Compilation, specially of the type of language LLVM is most used for (impure, procedural, object or

He says right there he was dealing and trafficking drugs, and traveling to meet narcos. The countries are run like corrupt shitholes precisely because gringos like McAfee poison the community with their dirty money. Every society has its

Do this if you want to be an abrasive dipshit who the host community rejects. This guy is a colonialist-tourist, not a traveller. You can feel his contempt for the people and the lands he is "visiting" seething through.

Google. I can never get over Facebook's "ick" factor. My opinion of Facebook is that it's rotten at the top; I feel it's run by morally-flexible people who will do anything for money. Technically, I don't think they're working in sufficie

nitpick. "SA" is usually the initialism for South Africa (RSA). For Saudi Arabia it's KSA, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

I think the author knows of this and avoids to name names for stylistic reasons. I mean, everything he lists has an archetype well-known to anyone with a clue, why be blunt?

Some idiot is probably using booleans in some magic "arithmetic". A collegue once told me returning 1 for truth was handy because he could sum the results after a map, and compare the sum to the count of input elements to see if all succeed

Opinions are trivial to hold. Backing them up, OTOH, is an entirely different matter. "x86" instructions now number in the hundreds. Almost any RISC ISA will max at 30% of that, with less than half of the addressing modes. "Easy" is an adje

Never heard of this theory. Black refers to ink color. Line items in red are loses, black are break-even or profit. Black-friday is when retailer make so much profit they get back in black. Business type-writters had red and black ribbons.

I used it several months ago to reverse engineer the data our POSes (point of sale devices) send to our licensed ERP app (bundled together by vendor) so we can use a superior POS, as they would rather force us to use their crap than publish

That's a flattering post. Lua is a much better language than Objective-C and should see more use.

Unix, as an environment, uses a handful of primitive paradigms. You will not learn much if you're using an advanced language. If you were to learn Oz[1] in this manner, none of the its powerful features will be called for to implement simpl
