The main iteration this cycle for the next C++ is contracts. Contracts are all about introducing undefined behaviour if you don't satisfy a precondition. In practice this improves software quality on many levels by clearly defining req

I don't want bounds-checking, so lost interest immediately. This is a step in the wrong direction.

I've never seen so much bad technology quoted in a single article.

Except many people have a policy of ASCII only in source code and therefore would catch it immediately.

I do a lot of different types of systems programming. Only times I actually use GC is to manage resources other than memory.

ICF is important to fold equivalent lambdas as well. All compiled languages virtually use the C model of doing things, often including its FFI.

That's not the problem I pointed out at all. For a trampoline to have no overhead, you need the call to the trampoline to be changed to a call to the underlying function. That's not an optimization that can easily happen due to th

Both the member function and the lambda are their own symbols with their own machine code -- might not even be possible for them to be the same code due to ABI concerns. Even if they're the same code, I don't think it's that

which you can by making the constructor private.

by mgaunard 3y ago
Adding a trampoline means making the calls slower. Even if the lambda were to inline the call, it still would be a completely different location in the executable image.

Because graphemes and glyphs are different things.

I believe XML and HTML both require Unicode data to be in NFC.

Design by contract improves software quality instead of lowering it. And it explicitly introduces undefined behaviour aka "memory safety bugs".
854.
by mgaunard 3y ago
Memory safety is a very small fraction of the problems a computer program can have, and replacing them by an immediate shutdown is hardly a very useful improvement on program quality.

The sine polynomial is bad because it's not written in a way that removes redundant multiplications. Those redundant multiplications cannot be removed without fast math because floating-point operations are not associative. There are w

Of course I know that uint16_t+uint16_t gives an int. If you're gonna be programming in C or C++, you need to know these things. And yes, I do agree the fact that I know so much minutiae about those languages is part of the reason why

You would implement the relation type that maps to your data source.

DuckDB processes data lazily, and can easily be integrated with custom synthetic relations. I guess it's still not really designed to work well with infinite relations, but then again neither is SQL really.

by mgaunard 3y ago
How does it compare to DuckDB, which is an Arrow-compatible OLAP SQL database, easy to embed and just plain awesome?

Not that readable.

You don't need frame pointers, all the relevant info is stored in dwarf debug data.

The CTO is the one in charge of choosing the programming language, putting in place the initial framework, processes and rules.

Source code is something that you author; binary artifacts aren't.

programming is about keeping control of the way the infrastructure operates

In my career the only people I saw arguing for auto style formatters are people that were simply unable to systematically follow simple rules, and that you're better off without.

by mgaunard 3y ago
This is why you have a CTO: someone is in charge of making all those design decisions.

To my knowledge, the court doesn't cost anything unless you're the one bringing the case to them or you choose to consult private counsel which is not mandatory. I would also argue that calling those legitimate businesses "pr

Calling the mistake "banal" is already a judgement call. If the requirement is in the license then presumably whoever emitted the license cared about the clause being respected to the letter.

by mgaunard 3y ago
The actual content I would expect is the following 3 points. 1. What the old clause of the license was 2. What kind of unintended side effect it had 3. What the new clause addressing this is Summing up those 3 points results in a clear para

You're mixing together matters pertaining to criminal cases (a DUI is a threat to society) and civil disputes (people have a disagreement about money) in ways that don't make sense at all. Copyright infringement aims to compensate
