Anyone claiming such things doesn't understand Unicode at all. The whole concept of having special Unicode-aware strlen or substr is nonsense.

Because this method of deployment is not only unsafe but also doesn't scale. In the age of cloud, you just run your web application as its own server, and just have a proxy that fronts it.

Why would you use PHP when Python exists?

There is a pretty successful world language standard: English.

They're small in the sense that their dependency on the rest of your codebase is small.

Splitting everything in small files makes it so that very little needs to recompile when you change something. Linking is pretty much just I/O-bound unless you're using LTO. This is assuming you're using a modern linker like

Except that doesn't improve the time of iterative builds, which are the only ones that really matter to software development.

That's not how compounding percentages works.

The upside is larger, but is longer-term and uncertain. You don't get the offer in the first place if it is certain.

In my experience, people would rather be employees paid in cash whose amount is agreed ahead of time than partners where they're paid depending on the company's profits.

How is it different from a normal partnership?

Same as any other branch. They're fast if predicted correctly and slow if not. If they cannot be predicted, write your code accordingly.

Could just be inefficient spilling caused by ABI requirements due to the inability to inline. In general if you're manipulating values that fit into registers and work on a platform with a shitty ABI,you need to be very careful of what

What final enables is devirtualization in certain cases. The main advantage of devirtualization is that it is necessary for inlining. Inlining has other requirements as well -- LTO pretty much covers it. The article doesn't have suffi

Notice how I said most ; also I would argue that yes, those aren't really serious programming languages. Haskell is an academic experiment and is mostly esoteric in the industry. It has however impacted a number of other languages tha

That's silly, in math those two are just different notations for the same thing, and usually fractions are preferred. Also anyone who's done any bit of programming should know that numbers as represented by a computer are discrete

0 is also the behaviour of C and of pretty much any serious programming language.

Yet not something that can be written in pure Swift.

A program's correctness goes way beyond memory safety, and is entirely at the mercy of thr programmer doing a good job. This is true regardless of whether the language has undefined behaviour or not.

Receiving stocks in the UK means paying a lot of tax that you have to pay immediately (45% of the fair value) on an asset that is an illiquid investment. It is a bad idea and you're much better off getting stock options, so that you on

std::list is a value type which copies the underlying elements on copy.

by mgaunard 3y ago
If the value semantics aren't customizable, you can't really build abstractions. How would you even implement std::list? Ultimately Swift is dependent on having all significant abstractions be built as part of the language-enabled

UB is a feature; people who keep on fighting it are such a pain. Regarding your question, nothrow operations are essential to maintaining invariants. And maintaining invariants is how you make code correct in a world where UB exists.

Serialization is the trivial part; the hard part is building a lockfree mpmc queue or message bus (depending on what you want) on top of fixed-size pre-allocated memory segments. I can't tell what this library does; the blog articles a

It's injected as part of configuring the build of the tests. Just make the two separate projects, where the test project depends on installed binaries.

The main vector of attack was patching the code as part of running tests. I would expect to see more projects try to protect against this in general by attempting to separate the building and testing procedures.

"An incredible leap", more like an over-hyped trend to get money out of venture capitalists. In practice it's a recipe for spending large amounts of money on GPU cloud compute to achieve things that could have been done just

x86 motherboards usually come with a 10Gbps onboard NIC. It's the standard. I don't know what kind of world you live in to convince yourself it's exclusive. 100Gbps is also available pretty cheap, but typically only as a sepa
