>Although maybe it's pointless, because according to Wikipedia SHAKE128(256) is only 8% faster than SHA3-256 for large inputs. This is mainly due to SHA3's humongous 1600-bit state, which is not very friendly to embedded system

What I'm wondering about is: If you're not targeting an EU-audience, and you therefore might not even have servers in the EU, and certainly don't have EU-based revenue streams - why do you even care? Can an EU court even do a

The way append allocations work makes me think that you can't have classes on the stack? That seems at odds with the design goals of making the language suitable for high performance applications - I mean sure you can use structs for e

While I vastly prefer this workflow wise, for large projects it can increase compile time drastically. https://lwn.net/Articles/744507/ For projects that will never have more than ~1 million LOC it's probably

Hmm, this is certainly interesting, but if I do the calculation for Germany for example, 80,000€ "gross" income comes out to a cost of about 96,600€. https://www.nettolohn.de/rechner/gehaltsrechner-fuer-arbeit

You do have to cull the others, but the culling isn't what is costly. What is costly is the exponential nature of searching the tree, i.e. if you want to evaluate 3 of your moves in advance, with 50 moves being available every time, yo

Steam might be a better example here, as Valve already allows devs to use their private network for game servers. Although it should be noted that all of this effort is only worth it because greedy ISPs are unwilling to peer to certain othe

If you need a deep copy you also need to write a copy() function for the object without RAII. (Although one could argue that that is still RAII, just without operator overloading.) But in any case, for deep copies, the copy code needs to be

by pingyong 7y ago
I'm not sure how RAII could ever need more code, when the only difference is that functions get called automatically (instead of through close(), or a close() inside a defer).

Hmm that's certainly an interesting project. But I have to wonder if writing "defer file.close()" everywhere is really superior to RAII. Isn't defer also kind of hidden control flow? At that point I feel like RAII simply

Just looking at the API "sds" seems to just be a typedef for char* - unfortunately, that means that accidentally passing a char* as an sds into any of the functions will be instant UB and not even a compiler warning. Considering t
