You're definitely right. While it's not a particularly common problem, it does exist; one thing I'd really like to see enter the compiler world is an optimization step to use vtable dispatch (or something akin to Rust's

What, specifically, do you mean when you say Rust is "awful to work with"? With C and C++ I agree, but I've had a drastically better development experience in Rust than Go.

The point is they shouldn't be slower than a manually-copied implementation for that concrete type. They also should be faster than vtable dynamic dispatch in the vast majority of cases. (I also fail to see a compelling reason th

Zen 4 is reported to have AVX-512 support. I'm not sure if that'll be included on Ryzen or not, though; only Epyc is "confirmed" as far as I know.

Lots of things are amoral but not illegal. I also don't think anybody above you claimed it was illegal.

That makes a lot of sense. The Max is still pretty fucking big, but two of those is a lot more manageable than a single monolothic die double the size

It's generally superlinear due to yield effects - this is a bit oversimplified, but in particular, with lithography defects being more or less randomly placed throughout the wafer, a defect in a 100mm2 die impacts a far smaller percent

I did this once trying to mitigate Go's FFI performance cost. It wasn't great but it wasn't awful either. If I had to do it again I'd generate the assembly trampolines.

I'm using a Freestyle (still) and it's a pretty great keyboard. I was very surprised to discover it uses membrane switches; they've got a great feel. I only wish I could (easily) replace the cable connecting the halves and

There's not really any further way to "actually explain" that, often, when a person says something, context matters and it isn't universally applicable. I'm not even sure why I'm having to explain this. It&#x2

"Meeting at X" means exactly what it always meant. The only difference made by removing timezones is that you don't need to adjust the time for remote dial-ins. 2PM becomes 2PM everywhere.

Why wouldn't it make sense "ever" in any part of the world?

lol...you even take criticism arrogantly. Impressive. It wasn't a personal attack, it was a statement of fact, but thanks for making my point even more clearly for me - not only in your response to that, but in your assertion that yo

In the context of a discussion about programming languages, no, it really doesn't. Not all slopes are slippery.

Considering the alternative is often either "copy and paste a bunch of code with a type changed in a bunch of places and commit the result" or "vtable dynamic dispatch", it's perfectly fair for a person to say that

The most critical thing I do is to make sure I'm not the only one who knows something. Warm handoffs, writing docs, wrapping up tasks, etc. Other than that I work as normal, minus taking on new work, so as I handoff/finish tasks

You're absolutely right that projects like these are silly as anything more than a fun tinkering exercise, but that 100-150W number is a low estimate. I'm fairly small and out of shape and can produce 180W for an hour. In-shape
