just use a hashmap implementation that always uses power-of-two buckets.

pissette, gamelle, repêche, rateau... all of these are extra rules.

overflow of unsigned integers is well-defined in C. You're confusing it with overflow of signed integers.

Sure, but can it play with French rules? You'd need quite the robotic arm for repêche.

That's an Apple Japanese keyboard. Apple messes with the standard keyboard of all layouts.

No one has come up with a binary format that has the same properties and has been as successful.

That's not as big of a problem as using more resources than you need.

Talked like somebody that doesn't understand the stack at all. On Linux, the stack grows automatically and never shrinks.

There are different sanitizers that detect different types of UB. Asan, Msan, Tsan and UBSan all detects different ones.

Making all vector accesses bounds-checked, as all memory-safe languages do, is a recipe for slow code.

That's not really what happens. Most Rust code actually does whatever is easiest to get the borrow checker to stop complaining, including extending lifetime beyond the scope that is necessary, and putting reference counting everywhere.

For example, the easiest way to make programs avoid use-after-free errors is to never free things. Would you rather get a program that constantly use all of your RAM until you restart it, or one that consistently uses very little, but someo

It can replace any path with undefined behaviour to one that does std::abort.
735.
by mgaunard 2y ago
That is incorrect. A C++ compiler is perfectly allowed to reject any program that contains undefined behaviour. It's just not required to do so.

Memory-safe languages are IMHO a distraction from making people write bug-free code. There are much more important bugs than memory safety bugs, including all sorts of performance bugs. We need to address the whole spectrum instead of compr

from my experience with the C++ API, including debugging problems until I find that they were indeed issues that eventually got fixed upstream, the API is poor and any combination of functions that were not explicitly tested is likely to no

Apache Kafka is obviously named after Kafka himself.

No, but people who buy from Target do.

To be fair, I don't understand watching sports either.

They don't play video games, they watch people play video games.

I don't find the module workflow particularly valuable myself. The main issue is that humans suck at defining module boundaries and managing dependencies. Files are simple.

There's a big C++ hater behind every Rust developer; they should just join up.

The description of "italic script", that the parent claimed was "one of the many types or cursive", explicitly says > Italic script, also known as chancery cursive and Italic hand, is a semi-cursive, slightly sloped s

Typographical is an adjective (pertaining to typography). I used the noun on purpose.

by mgaunard 2y ago
I doubt you'd find "an employees" if your job ad has grammar or typography mistakes in it.

by mgaunard 2y ago
Wikipedia itself calls it "semi-cursive".

by mgaunard 2y ago
What I find most shocking is that this is not cursive at all, just print with some kind of cursive joinery. s and z in particular look completely different in cursive, and b, f, l, k, and even h should also look quite different from this to

You clearly didn't understand the statement you are replying to. "Python's type system allows a type to overload all operators" means that those must be operators in the Python syntax to begin with. Those various glyphs
