> Proving that you can treat "processing one event" as globally atomic was the funnest thing in grad school. Uh? I guess it depends on what 'atomic' means but in the real world that isn't the case.

Sure, but I wanted to have an "always opened" subwindow like da_rob has implemented. I wonder why I haven't been able to find it before, I've tried!

Thanks a lot, I don't know why I haven't been able to find it..

VSCode has a vertical 'subwindow' on the left which list all the opened tabs. I call this 'a tab view/list', I don't know what's the real name. Usually I have between 10 and 20 tab opened, so the tablist i

Nice customisation, but it still doesn't have the 'list of tab' vertical window that VSCode has, and I'll never switch to an editor which doesn't have this. Even if I find VSCode not very responsive..

Zig has the unsigned int with the nice overflow/UB behaviour. Symmetric int + Int_NAN sounds nice but the performance cost..

> The issue is that unsigned integers must not trap on overflow You forgot to add 'in C', in Zig they have the same behaviour as signed integers.

Minimal.. It depends! I remember that the developpers behind GMP (a GNU library for bignum) weren't happy with the performance! But that's pretty niche..

? No! INT_MIN +1 is 'implementation defined behaviour' but that's a very different thing.

Maybe. If I remember well, Apple ARM M1 can decode up to 8 instruction at the same time, is-there any RISC-V CPU with the C extension which is able to decode 8 instructions?

I wonder if there is an experiment which could test this "rule"?

Good point, you could have + * / restricted to basic types, but have #* #+ #mod_add as (overloadable) operators.

There's a need but don't forget that all the previous distributed OSs(Plan9, Mosix,..) didn't succeed. So ' inevitably destinated to evolve'? No..

OTOH, I remember a black colleague created quite a sensation when he traveled in a non-touristic part of China.. That said, 'historical fictions' are usually much more fiction than historical.

I think that why so many supports UBI is that there are different UBIs for some it is a replacement for welfare programs, for it is a complement to these welfare programs..

Also the theory behind the U in UBI is that it's less expensive to give it to everybody. But won't 'everybody' includes illegal immigrants from other countries too? Well, it will unless you increase a lot the budget of

I work in C++ and removing the confusion between local variables and class members with only one character looks to me as a very good idea!
