At least part of the reason d'etre for FP is to make people who took a lot of math courses at university feel like they didn't waste their education.

Didn't understand the point of the plant in Norway making synthetic fuels using water power for cars. When the cars burn the fuel, the CO2 in it will still be part of the atmosphere and increase the temperature. So what's the adv

Who would have thought that statically linking hundreds of MB worth of binaries every build causes problems? Maybe some of it can be fixed with a lot of engineering effort, but the fact remains that it is a bad idea to redo so much work eve

Just curious, what are you replacing RedHat with?

I think these are much higher level with larger vectors. With vectors he means the low level vectors of the CPU. So if you want to write your own low level algorithms, without going down to the actual intrinsics.

Yes that's true. Coverity and similar are even slower. But then rust errors out on a lot of things the C++ analyzer wouldn't, a lot of those things are actually being reasonable code. For example I discovered recently that you can

Replace the minute with 30 years. Also I think it was more a case of William II being a moron, and his advisors just not being very good. And I don't think for WW1 (unlike WW2) anybody's goal was to expand. It was more a case of e

Interesting it has a "come from". So the execution will stop somewhere, but it's defined somewhere else. That's worse than GOTO I would say. PERFORM 4200-COPY-ECR THRU 4200-EXIT.

Yes icon is very interesting. It has builtin backtracing, which can be quite useful for text parsing. I also like TXR, which also has builtin backtracing.

It's a bit too much to ask him to provide a "cure for fashion". That's just difficult. I guess if he could do that it would be an exciting new research area and it would quickly become fashionable fashionable by itself,

It happens in academia, it happens in programming. Why exactly are you using that trendy java script frame work again? Maybe it's a little better (or not), but at least it is a lot cooler than yesterday's and looks better on a res

Stockholm has good parks, but absolutely no public toilets. So better don't drink anything while you're out. There are lots of European cities with lots of parks, like Warsaw, Budapest, Prague.

build time asserts can be defined in C macros with some tricks. The error messages are slightly misleading, but when people look at the source code it is usually clear what is happening. #define ASSERT_BUILD(x) \ do { char array[(x) ? 1

that's fairly cool. Wish such sites were available for more open source packages. Always wanted to know the algorithms used in sort. So ls has more source lines than sort? Funny, but a bit depressing too.

That's actually nice and straight forward and relatively simple. I had expected something over engineered with at least parts of the code dedicated on demonstrating how much smarter the code writer is than you. But it's not. Just

Seen from an IT perspective, they ran a complex network without enough monitoring. So they didn't detect multiple leaks in time, and ended up wasting a lot (too much) water in dry season. With enough sensors on the pipelines they could

There will be winners and losers from climate change. Likely a lot more losers than winners. But denying that there will be winners too is as misguided as denying climate change in the first place. In this case winners are tied to places, s

While they will may have temporary problems in places I suspect Siberia will be a long term winner from climate change. All the people displaced from flooded coastal settlements have to move somewhere after all.

And? Won't the migrating cells just keep coming unless you target the original cancer too? It seems like a very temporary improvement at best. Missing part of the idea here.

North Korea has a caste system based on the family's behavior in WW2. China is actively working on one based on the citizen score.
