I've liked the recent XPS 13 Plus keyboards. I'd put them at least on par with recent Macbooks. Decent travel depth, but still limited as it's an Ultrabook.

The language is in flux at the moment, so unless the projects are updated to use master (and are being built with master), one tends to run into incompatibilities not infrequently.

It's a bit more nuanced than that, as detailed by AndyKelley (andrewrk@) on github[1]. As I understand it, C/C++ interop and support in the build system is not going away; instead it might be accomplished via a separately maintain

Minor gripe, but there's a misspelling in the title: it should read Mastodon not Mastadon.

And Practical Common Lisp, another popular one on HN. The domain name took me by surprised and I struggled to remember why it seemed so familiar; it turns out that PCL can be found in its entirety here, and I had used it years ago to learn

Julia, perhaps? Although calling it popular is a stretch maybe. Its multiple dispatch system is even more ingrained to the language than CLOS (all functions are generic by default). It's very much a Lisp in Matlab's clothing.

You do, however, double the size of your data type. A struct { enum; u64 } is going to be 128-bits vs struct { is_int: u1; int_value: u63; } at 64-bits. This can make a huge difference in performance critical code, as you double the rate of

I combined my method with yours. Once you get it to emit an unescaped <|endoftext|>, the previous "jailbreaks" that get it to emit "<|endoftext|> appear to work again. So it looks like it's still possible to

Oof on that note: at least in the example in the article, it's going to cost a TLB miss as page permissions are getting changed. So that's a page-table walk which means %cr3 -> PML4 -> PDPT -> PD -> PT -> the actual

Worse. It's more than likely to cause a cache miss, and waiting on memory is going to be even slower than a mispredicted branch.

Patents aren't just an incentive to invest in research: it's (moreso, even) an incentive to also disclose that research. So yes, in a world with patents, private entities would still engage in research, but what would they gain fr

The title immediately reminded of a David Hilbert quote. Upon hearing that one of his students had dropped out to become a poet, he is said to have remarked: "Good, he did not have enough imagination to become a mathematician."
