Ah, OK. But I would characterize this as an internal allocator that never deallocates. You might as well replace `malloc` and `free` to do the same, and just allocate within the program normally. Just because you "preallocate" it

> preallocate all the memory you could need Well, why did they have to restart if they never made any further allocations? This does not add up.

Well, a one-off pizza party certainly does not work. Regular free and quality food is surely a nice perk though. At our place we have free lunch from Tuesday to Thursday, otherwise nobody is pushed to work in the office. Some people still c

While I appreciate the free assets, it's hard to beat the origin TTD soundtrack. Those were even recorded with real instruments for a rerelease[1], which turned out to be awesome, but I like the original midi one as well. [1] https:&#

Detecting division by zero with 100% accuracy in a general C or C++ program without assistance is equivalent to the halting problem. Now I'm not saying that they solved the halting problem, as that is not possible. Rather that there is

by planede 4y ago
From their claims they either solved the halting problem, or the tool severely limits what correct C or C++ programs it allows, essentially making the language not Turing-complete. I suppose it's the latter. I wonder if it's not t

Why don't web games use KeyboardEvent.code for this? That would mostly resolve the issue, assuming browsers are compliant. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEve...

Some actionable takeaways about the abstract machine and undefined behavior of the standard. * Just because something is undefined in the standard now, it does not mean that it has to be undefined forever. It might be an oversight, or prior

I presume prototypes could be added to transform much of existing code without compatibility problems (ABI nor API), which is a clear advantage compared to checked arrays. Checked arrays might worth it regardless, but it's not applicab

> does modern C++ have a better solution to implement the same thing? No, the only standard way is to allocate a buffer large enough, and placement new the header and the bulk payload separately. The manual handling of alignment makes th

The problem is that this would have one specific ABI, which probably wouldn't match many existing structs with a flexible array member at the end. Could potentially be used for new code (while requiring every user to upgrade the standa

Neither binary nor decimal floating point types exist in the JSON spec. The JSON spec does not give an explicit internal representation for floating points, implementations are free to use decimal types internally, if they wish to do so. Th

Events are partially-ordered. Two events that can't have causal relationship between them are incomparable causality-wise.

I think the resolution is along the lines of this: * ZFC does not have a unique model that satisfies the axioms. * Each of those models have different "undescribable numbers" with different properties. But it was a long time I tou

What about the cost of the supporting infrastructure for cramming that 1GW into hydrogen and back to electricity? Well, with fuel-cell cars you don't need centralized infrastructure for converting back, but then you need infrastructure

If a squint hard then this is a custom dynamic loader for .o files with rudimentary ASLR (where all your entropy comes from the permutation of the .o files), that happens to cache to disk.

Sometimes you have dependencies with actual value add that you really don't want to replicate. No, I'm totally not writing a yaml parser, thank you very much. I can probably write a good yaml parser, possibly even better than some

git does store deltas, but it's an implementation detail. This is what git pack files mostly are. I don't know if git sends or receives deltas though, I think it does?

In my personal experience the amount of water poured inside the moka pot makes a big difference. The more water you pour in, the higher temperature the coffee brews. If you pour the maximum amount of water that fits inside, then your coffee

That document does not describe long options. I guess that can be treated as a conforming extension. The C implementation does not seem to have support for optional option arguments. The C implementation also does not seem to support "

Ah, too bad. I wonder why it needs a distinct Linux syscall interface though. There must be a reason why the existing x86_64 or x86 syscalls could not be used for x32.
