Regardless of what C is or isn't "supposed" to be, it's not close to assembler. It's an abstract machine, and one that is fundamentally different than actual machines today. It would do well for people to remember t

List is an access pattern, like a queue or deque. Linked lists are a data representation using a couple of pointers. It's like the difference between a graph and an adjacency list or matrix. A list being a linked list is an implementat

In a company the size of Amazon, no one gets fired without paperwork, and termination has a process. Someone initiated that process and made the decision to follow a policy. I don't know what the policy is explicitly or if it's ju

Why would you want to create a workplace without personal responsibility for decision making? All I'm saying is to make that personal responsibility public. It's pretty telling to me that I'm being downvoted for saying that I

Without getting into all of the hazards about legislating morality it's impractical in our current climate. I don't think this should be illegal, personally. I do think that it would be helpful to make the decision making public t

I don't know if I agree. Overflow is like uninitialized memory, it's a bug almost 100% of the time, and cases where it is tolerated or intended to occur are the exception. I'd rather have a special type with defined behavior.

by qppo 7y ago
Another problem is that there's no way to define it, because in that example the "proper" way to overflow is with saturating arithmetic, and in other cases the "proper" overflow is to wrap. Even on CPUs/DSPs th

There's no reasonable way to tell if something is solicited or not, mail is not duplex, and it's not on demand. Most mail I get that matters was not explicitly requested to begin with. As well, most ads I get in the mail look like

It's more like you have a massively parallel program that you compile ten million times, but only five million complete the process usable afterwards and of those five million, they may or may not have all the parts of the program you

Anonymous sum types. Most enum variants I write are single use, or very few use. We have anonymous product/record types with tuples (function returns all-of) but not variants (function returns one-of). Something like fn foo() -> (i3

So first off, doubling the amplitude is a 6dB increase in SPL. So not that bad actually. Second off, instantaneous sound is only a health issue when it's really loud, like a gunshot (130-140dB SPL) near the point at which the ear dru

To me this kind of thing is the difference between furniture you buy from a decent store or from IKEA. It's craftsmanship, not complexity.

Rust's expressiveness of complexity is mirrored by its complexity of expression. I don't think that Ok-Wrapping hides complexity. I think it's a filled in pothole for sum type semantics in Rust. I don't think the best so

Startups are in way better shape than traditional small businesses. By our very nature, we need months of runway just to keep running. We're designed to weather this kind of storm because "zero revenue" is the default state.
