Not just prison rape, but the very idea of "prison should be as harsh as possible" is absolutely awful.

This is pretty much the last piece in the LLVM "puzzle", they've been relying on the GNU linker up until recently, which has made some optimisations more difficult to implement (notably whole program analysis targeting specif

"Morgan Stanley used it for most everything" this is entirely incorrect. They've been running with a plethora of different languages for a while now: Scala in particular, but theres a lot of work in C for HFT stuff.

I find how porn sites run things far, far more interesting than how generic start up X runs things and I'm not sure why. I think in general its because my friends who work at start-ups doesn't really stop gushing about how MongoDB

i agree, on my team we manage code by just having project_name_YYMMDD_RELEASE in a big folder /code. Works fine for us! /s

There was another one of these, slightly older, that just got deleted... Also the red banner looks a bit off to me, the "More Status History" just seems plonked in the middle of it.

I have, but most karma trackers don't seem to have stats for people with zero karma? I'm wondering how you managed to find anything (or am I having a brain fart and the search terms that I'm using aren't common parlance

The OP explains this pretty well. Clay is designed to do generics very concisely and easily.

The first programming language I was (formally) taught was Haskell and it was a joy, as long as the exercises are nicely written you can do a lot. After 4 or 5 weeks we wrote a calculus solver (able to do a lot of pretty interesting integra

For lots of algorithms, fairly naive Haskell can get very close in performance (within 10%) of pretty decent C or C++. For example[1] shows that for very advanced algorithms (such as BLAS), Haskell can be very performant - with the optimisa

the text format changes, the API stays relatively static (afaik). Most tools use something similar to: LLVMContext &Context = getGlobalContext(); SMDiagnostic Err; Module *Mod = ParseIRFile(argv[1], Err, Context);

The cool thing about LLVM is that "jamming passes" in, is something an individual team can do, adding a pass simply involves running opt -load path/to/pass.so < IR.bc Which emits (hopefully) optimised IR. Neat

you have clearly never written a distributed system or similar. Fail Fast, Fail Often.

I'd have thought you could just statically link with the C and C++ libraries, creating a static binary? edit: beaten by rwcarlsen

kink.com does this in all of their videos (at the beginning of each scene discuss what is going to happen and then at the end discuss how they though it went). This is a lot better than most "vanilla" porn.
