The problem is that it's not the default.

Well designed.. I'm not so sure, once you're used to something you're 'blind' to its defaults.. Big: signed/unsigned automatic conversion? Minor: conflating unsigned and modulo arithmetic (why not allowing sign

? I know that this is a GenodeOS topic, but the GP wondered about seL4 which has some parts in GPLv2 and other BSD (2-clause). IMHO the reason that few use seL4 is that it isn't ready: AFAIK seL4 isn't able to use efficiently mu

It doesn't look like he's worried but IMHO he should be: while a lot of these flat-earther/conspirationist are just "having fun" like he said, crooks can target easily these people! They're telling the word: I&

A book about the design patterns is a good idea, the original book by then the gang of 4? I disagree, IMHO this book isn't well written, now the question is: is there a better book on this topic?

Well you already have to remember that 'if' introduces a scope but '#if' doesn't..

Really? The 1-based array is really a mistake.. They should have followed Ada: allow any starting index and provide keywords to access the first/last element of the array. All this by default , otherwise it doesn't matter.

In theory, you can take extra precautions sure, but will you take these precautions all the times? Human nature says no: you're in a hurry, you've eaten too much, you have a cold, all these things reduce your ability to drive safe

Except that cmake is often used to generate makefiles, so now to debug an issue you have to understand both cmake and makefiles! Not much of a progress if you ask me..

Never? 1) Users didn't ask for flat design 2) There's absolutely no evidence that flat design are better and there are evidence that they are worse Yet I don't expect that UI will go back to 'classic UI', many of th

That's when Jai (if it ever becomes real) hold promise: fast compilation is a first rate goal, not a second rate goal where you decide language features first then try to make the compiler "not too slow".

I agree: there should have been a warning that both pilots are doing (very) different commands. Airbus is responsible here. Boeing is responsible in the article too: adding such new feature without properly communicating with the pilots??

I disagree, while C signed/unsigned type conversion is a source of bug and should be explicit, it doesn't mean that all implicit conversion are bad.. I think that implicit conversion from int to float is mostly harmless, as the re

In C you don't need lens, either you set a member of a struct or you copy the struct and you set a member of the copy, trivial stuff. Why do you need a library for this kind of thing in Haskell?

Has been terrible? IMHO (eclipse and clion user) for C++ big projects the IDE experience is terrible! Vim isn't better as you need to spend a lot of time configuring it plus ctags and multiple tabs doesn't work well together..

I remember a research paper about a GC which worked well even with swapping but it required hooks in the kernel memory manager and the researchers weren't able to make their patch of linux accepted.

Much better that's debatable: 1) you can't really be a programmer without good English knowledge 2) I'm French and worked on a software in French: eventually the source code had to be translated in English (a requirement from

Not surprised: I remember that MIPS has instructions to trap on integer overflow 'for free'(no need to pollute your icache with branch-on-overflow like other ISA) but compilers don't use these instructions :-( Conclusion: to

Bah this process is faulty, we use it at work and this means that a feature which has to manage N things is almost always split into 'manage 1 thing' then 'goes from 1 to N' even though it takes more work and the result

Because Lua is often used as an extension language of C++ which has 0-based indexing: it's really painful for programmers to switch from one indexing to another.

While I agree that the maths needed to understand Special Relativity are simple, SR itself not so much: we get used to things like the twins paradox, but do we really understand it?

I work in telecoms where there are so many acronyms that snakeCase is really painful (but we still use it). As for your second example, why not remote_HTTP_IP_addr ? Even more readable IMHO.
