Large part of education is consuming media (text books). Although I agree, I've never seen any appeal in iPads in schools.

Answer is of course performance. Passing through registers is faster. You have more of them on x86-64 and they are also larger.

The compiler to do that would also need to drop C standard compatibility (section 7.1.3 of C99). Which is probably a good reason to complain and to just stop using that version of this purely theoretical compiler.

The reality is that if you are creating a library you probably should prefix your types and functions anyway. And rely on the prefix to minimize collision probability. So it doesn't really matter if you put _t and the end of your type

There are also enums, which are user defined scalar types (although I don't think this fact really affects your argument).

Can you provide an example of control structures that cannot be used in elegant manner without macros? I honestly fail to think of any example. However I generally agree, that macros are pretty much unavoidable. Include guards are implement

With tax miracullously not included in price, calculating tip and final total is a fun guessing game that you have to play each time you make an order.

Well, the point stands: browser and integrated pad is not enough for third party browser games to emerge. Nintendo would also have to provide relevant APIs, some of which aren't commonly used by regular websites (e.g. WebGL).

3DS has a browser and a built-in reliable controller. I haven't heard about any HTML game for 3DS.

Did you look at the generated assembly of your demo? RVO probably didn't happen there. "returns_a_foo" was most likely inlined into main and then there was no need of eliding a copy. I'm not saying that you are wrong, on

There is also a sibling project called Muttator, which brings vimperator to Thunderbird. It allows you to get mutt-like ergonomics (including vim as text editor) with support for HTML mails.

Without Vimpertors's toolbar it's really hard to call Vimium an analogue. In comparison to options that Vimperator offers Vimium is just a couple of keymappings.

The title probably should be 'Cryptographic Hash Algorithms'. The definitions from the post are approximately true for cryptographic hashes but not really for hash functions in general.

Of course you can. Inside .bashrc you have access to aliases (a facility to name things) and to a Touring-complete programming language (a tool to make things). There is little you can't do in .bashrc

I think the point of the linked page is to show how to implement a command line app in Haskell. Teleport is just an example, as such it doesn't really have to be a great tool for everyday usage. On the other hand, teleport seems to act

Those are very good and appealing features. Nobody questions that. On the contrary, the point is that those features are meaningful and valuable for the users. The amount of code and people used to implement them is not.

Features might be a compelling reason to switch. The fact that something is furiously developed by hundreds of developers is a very poor reason. What does this rather meaningless "health" of Neovim gives to the end users? Fresh ne

Just to clarify: I was not speaking about application stability, I spoke about the whole OS. I've never seen native Jolla apps crash, the Android apps also seem to be rather stable when they work. However the whole phone can die - the

Just a small nitpick: your code is not recursive, you are missing 'f' on the right hand side.

The FAQ is hosted my NOMMULinux project (nomen omen a Linux distribution that is not using virtual memory, it was discussed on HN earlier today). I found it to be a very nice summary of how OS manages memory, that is quite interesting even

I wouldn't call this a UX nightmare. This is certainly an issue. On the other hand, as in case of today's laptops, users themselves decide to switch the OS and it's their responsibility in this scenario.
