You don't really expose yourself to such copyright infringement unless you redistribute somebody else's work. If you're gonna do that, you better make sure you're allowed to and under what conditions.

A court still needs to decide on whether there was wilful infringement, which is unlikely if it was a genuine mistake. The alternative, which the new license provides, is that attribution isn't really required, since you can just add i

Being open to litigation does not destroy you. Also a contract is serious business.

I hate articles that go on and on about some story before finally explaining what's in the title.

That's not what the white house said and they're not an authority in software engineering anyway. Just sensationalist journalism.

Those are the main compiler frameworks used by all the major platform providers (Microsoft, Google, Apple, Facebook, IBM...) and support dozens of languages...

What are the new APIs that require Windows 10+?

I don't use Windows much, can someone explain to me the actual difference with Chromium?

A functor is a mapping between categories, just like a function is a mapping between sets. What kind of insights this means for programming is quite up to interpretation and how you choose to formally describe its semantics (and most popula

Programming practice shows that overly generic constructs aren't that useful and typically lead to over-engineering, difficulty of maintenance and reduced productivity. There are enough complexities in the problem domain and the system

The role of the compiler is to automatically perform the task of translating a program in a given programming language to a program that runs on a computer, making the best possible use of that computer's resources. Writing a compiler

It seems the trend is in increased diversity of hardware, with the dominance of x86 being reconsidered with smartphones, energy-optimal cloud, GPU computing, and ML accelerators. LLVM allows hardware manufacturers to more easily provide ma

Functors come from category theory. They're relevant in programming languages that are based on that, e.g. Ocaml, Haskell, and other sorts of overly academic and impractical esoteric stuff. Like most ideas in programming based on theor

ha, you're a Rust zealot; that explains it. Believing that all new software should be written in Rust rather than C++, and that this situation is inevitable anyway, is one of the core tenets of this church.

I don't think they are. So long as you were not trained before the 70s, any knowledge there is still very relevant today. ISAs are still very similar, and so is the relative performance of the various operations. Registers, caches, pip

While I don't know anything about that project, your comment sounds a bit unwarrantingly anti-C++. Most compilers and operating systems are built in C++ nowadays, it's the industry standard for any systems-level programming.

AI could be used to choose which of the valid transformations to apply and in which order. Current compilers do not guarantee that re-running the optimization passes a second time is idempotent. Every pass just does some "useful"

Before writing compilers, I think it's best to understand computer architectures, and what needs to be generated by the compiler to yield the most efficient machine code. Unfortunately, in my experience, computer architecture and even

That restriction was lifted in 2020. tuple_accessor::name is a const char* which is what you asked for. static_value here is an implementation detail and the type of its members is irrelevant.

There is zero need for template recursion here, or even templates at all. The functionality can be computed as a simple constexpr function. A string as a char template parameter pack is a textbook example of an antipattern.

Pretty bad "idioms"; anything involving recursive template instantiations is a terrible idea. How to use fold expressions on operator comma isn't even touched on.

By running the process under a different filesystem namespace than "normal" processes, you're effectively sandboxing it.

A national/central/reserve bank is very different from a normal bank. To such a bank, national tender is actually pretty much a bond, and therefore they can issue more of it. No such bank sells mortgage products to retail customer

Let's say I have 1 million. I can use it for example to buy beer brewing equipment and a warehouse, which allows me to start a beer business which generates income. Or I can lend it to someone. But then I can't do my beer business
