80% of the information comes from the tone of voice.

Never really got why Microsoft didn't keep going with that kind of thing. Why don't we have .net properly inside excel instead of VBA? Money? Internal elitism?

I often walk if it's only a bit longer than waiting for a bus.

You can't and shouldn't try to. We can however qualitatively try to see where the wind is blowing.

Indeed, my bad for only skimming.

You can find the register file relatively easily because it's a block of memory that's the same on each core but isn't cache, but it isn't a 1:1 map from architectural registers that we would recognize: the chip is desig

Maybe, but chips already have vast, vast, quantities of physical registers in a big blob. Assuming it wasn't a lucky guess, timing attacks are often used to find this stuff.

Practically I think that just means that the kids end up getting taught vast quantities of "exam technique" rather than content. I taught myself the essence of calculus when I was 14 or 15 - there were holes in my knowledge but it

The original justification was probably that an alias works as a form of specialization.

This "Just pass it as a name" pattern has a been a complete disaster for D IMO. It was before my time but I think the explanation for why seems to be annoyingly along the lines of "dmd optimizer likes it". It also encour

Everyone should read the Linux kernel source to see how aggressively up a painful local maximum you can get in the name of simplicity.

Assuming its not completely wrong that to me sounds something like that he just had the files stored somewhere. That being said travelodge Wi-Fi is so bad, maybe the only way would've been actually doing the job.

ChatGPT was honestly already this for a sufficiently popular book/topic but they've managed to lobotomize it as of recently so it takes a lot more coaxing to actually get to the point.

I remember reading about finite element tire models and how complicated they were, they can now run in real time give or take a bit.

There are arguments for and against but for colour: D in GCC uses a shared frontend, which means it's not hard to maintain the frontend aspects — but that also means the frontend is a monoculture which is not very healthy at the moment

It's not exactly legal but you can download a libgen dump & Wikipedia (is legal, but less thorough), put it on such a drive, and then have a good proxy for all academic knowledge on your network — not bad.

That's fair.

I know a few rust programmers who say that they don't want to learn C++ because it's too hard but I don't know if that's actually true. Learning C++ legalese takes ages but the basic principles really aren't that ha

It actually sticks out like sore thumb if you listen to his cadence closely. Americans tend to join words together so whereas house would say old married couple a "true" American would usually say something like oldmarried-couple.

Linux is funded by big tech companies. IBM probably put a billion into Linux and that was 20 years ago now.

Git has problems but is mostly alright, cli aside. Git as practiced by GitHub and gitlab is awful quite a lot of the time.

I'm not particularly productive in python. The code gets shat out faster but it's a comparatively weak language for capital-P Programming — lack of types means repeating and checking yourself a lot .

I'd love some lab space to really get into this. All the old high performance stuff used to be designed basically by hand — that takes money and true craft. I spend most of my time in theoretical work of some kind, but get a real urge

For a formatter you only need tokens and rules. ASTs are unnecessary unless you want to do transformations at the same time.
