The trophy case is here: https://www.cs.utah.edu/~regehr/souper/ Example program 6: https://www.cs.utah.edu/~regehr/souper/output_6.html int a, b; void fn1() { b = a * ~1 == 1;

I think Parler's angle was to become the home for popular conservative commentators. Parler continually suggested Hannity, Levin, D'Souza, etc as accounts to follow, even if you blocked those accounts.

Superoptimizers attempt to find shorter instruction sequences. This may or may not produce faster code - sometimes you can make code faster by inserting nops! The idea of superoptimization is to find missed optimizations, which a human can

If Google removes support for Manifest v2 from Chromium, is Brave prepared to maintain it? Honest question.

I think Spotify envisions a speaker which always plays exactly the right music at all times, reflecting the current mood and anticipating what's next, like a film score. That would indeed be incredible if it worked.

Here is the referenced July paper [1]. Spotify has a very cool feature called Community [2] where users can talk about what they want Spotify to do. The most upvoted ideas are things like "change my username" or "filter expli

In Elm pure functions may allocate memory. How does D handle this?

The post says "there is no observable difference between calling a function and not using the result, and not calling it at all." But you just described an important difference! In Haskell one must use the assertion's result

I think this was meant to have read as "provably always pure", not "probably always pure."

Consider atomically incrementing a variable. You need to both perform the increment, and get the value.

How do fatal errors (like asserts) work in Elm? Are assertions considered to have side effects? What if the removed function call would have produced an important error?

GP's critique is not that web browsers render SVG and PDF in addition to HTML. It's the outsized role of JavaScript specifically: our browsers execute arbitrary (possibly user-hostile) code while simultaneously trying to protect u

Wait really? I live in NorCal, I lost power twice last week. That was unusual, but PG&E's safety outages are a fact of life of living in California. That said I also remember a hurricane (Harvey?) which shut down refineries, making

You have an increasingly rarefied perspective, and you should hang onto it. Docker is a treadmill. Docker leads to Docker Compose leads to Kubernetes leads to whatever. It's a lot of noise and motion; you will increasingly encounter e

No thanks. Apps like Firefox should use the libraries - windows, menus, etc. - installed on my system. Please don't ship your own libraries for this stuff. Containers are an even more insane approach, so maybe we are in violent agreeme

"3 versions of a framework" is quite vague. Are those versions Linux/Windows/Mac? Because then Docker is not very useful. Docker is not a general solution to this problem because it ties you intimately to Linux, whether

I doubt it. The article observes that Americans are buying a lot of stuff, but it's just redirected purchasing. We're buying more tech, and less clothes and cars and travel. Overall the savings rate is still very high, so spending

The article freely mixes "alien civilization" with "alien life." But these are very different! It would be spectacular to find an alien civilization of intelligent robots, even though they would not be alive. We are aliv

Makefiles are actually great! Just not as a build system. If you have a project where you need to do a thing, you can instead make a Makefile to do the thing: thing: some shell command that's it, now you get to type `m

CMake quietly lifts heavy things behind the curtains. Cargo uses Rust, which uses LLVM, which builds with CMake.

CMake tackles the unsexy challenge of cataloging every compiler on every platform. If things seem easier in Go, it's in part because Go mostly stays in its sandbox. Where Go interoperates, it's worse than CMake. For example, Go&#x

Completely agree, especially because a signing key is $100 a year. Feels like the church selling indulgences. That said, it's not quite as bad as your link. The secret is to right click or control click on the app, and choose Open. The

LLVM does indeed use known suboptimal algorithms for increased speed. Its register allocator is an example: a "perfect" register allocator is NP complete, and LLVM uses a relatively simple greedy algorithm instead.

Neutrons are fermions, and are subject to the Pauli Exclusion Principle. Photons are bosons, and so are not. Composite fermion systems may act as bosons and be "squeezed." Bose-Einstein condensates are an example of this.

Physical theories often go beyond just predictions, and attempt to specify a correspondence between a formalism and physical reality. Quarks are an example. Quarks were conceptualized as a mathematical simplification, and only later were re

They don't. The whole point of TCO is to discard stack frames, which means local variables cannot be recovered. Optimize or debug, pick one.
