It can be more stable by having nightly users test it beforehand for a while and report any new bugs.

Even just between different SE fields this can happen to a degree. Let a C++ programmer write a website with PHP and Javascript - it will probably work, but I'd guess for a web dev the code would look a quite weird.

The only problem I see is that usually if you buy a game for $70 it doesn't have (seemingly intentionally) all the gear designed in a way that looks extremely bland to get you to spend another $70+ in skins.

It's quite fascinating. There are definitely some sentences that are nonsensical, but the problem is, there are often entire paragraphs that seem internally nonsensical in text written by what I assume to be humans, too. Some more exam

Intel has stopped delivering stock coolers with K-series CPUs for a while now. There is technically a sort of reference cooler but you'd have to buy that separately and nobody does that. Every single person in the market for a CPU like

Oh boy I'd really like to see that, but considering the 10nm debacle I'm not too optimistic. If they actually manage to get EUV working well in 2021, we might never see widespread 10nm products at all.

That really depends on the workload though. x264 benefits massively from hyper threading for example. Way more than the 6% performance you get from more overclocking headroom.

I have a question about Telegram. Let's say I have a number in my contacts, but the other side doesn't have my number in their contacts. So I can now see their name and picture and "last seen"? But can they see the same

Doesn't matter anymore, Clang and GCC will both make any and all optimizations they can find by assuming you will never hit UB, including just erasing all UB code. You can dislike it, but that's just the reality now, and ignoring

Uh... I really don't think so. Those communities are very specifically about only drinking water, ideally tap water, and absolutely hate soda. As tongue-in-cheek as the entire thing is, soda is the enemy there. If rasz thinks that th

I'd really like that despite Intel being in the driver's seat again - because I honestly don't see where single core performance is going to come from in the future. IPC increased because the CPUs used the inherent possible p

I did find it frustrating that Clang wasn't the first thing he tried. But he did eventually try Clang past the end of the post (when it should've been at the top). Interestingly though, Clang doesn't bridge the gap.

Name one example where UB is necessary for useful optimizations where simply having unspecified values or platform dependent behavior wouldn't be enough.

They become irrelevant as soon as massive energy storage becomes cheap. But as it stands now, fusion seems more realistic than cheap energy storage. But who knows what people come up with.

That company must have been in the middle of nowhere, because in every major city you can at least get a 100/40 connection for ~45 euros / month. Not super amazing, but decent at least.
