Plenty of people cite papers they haven’t read, or are not available digitally. They often cite it because some other paper does, or they only read the abstract.

There are real benefits to using x86-64 over x86, namely, x86 is starved of general purpose registers. There are many more registers available on x86-64.

From my testing, it seems this classifier is heavily influenced by the choice of identifiers used in the program, which is not necessarily a hallmark of the language, but of the particular programs trained with. Here's a made-up C func

From what I've gathered skimming the numerous blog posts venting about submodules, it seems that people have trouble with submodules because they are trying to integrate them into a workflow they work poorly in (i.e., rapidly changing

I use submodules and they work fine. What is so bad about them that I shouldn't be using them?

I mean the ability to list all files recursively in a buffer and then search that buffer, something Emacs got right.

This looks cool; kind of like modern Vim/Emacs hybrid. I especially like the filename search, which is lacking in Atom.

I've also found the font rendering on OS X to be better (sharper/cleaner) in Sublime than Atom on a retina display.

The rest of the article lists Haskell as being original for introducing pattern matching and monads as a new programming paradigm.

There is no prescribed way to disable it, and it looks like the slides only provide a glimpse of the workarounds/hacks needed to do so. I imagine there's a lot we're missing from this presentation, though, because it looks li

At times I feel that LLVM is quite a monster, and I really like your goals of keeping things small & simple. Kudos! Can you expand on your point about "LLVM does NOT provide full C compatibility for you"? I have specifically b

Most casts have zero performance cost and will not interfere with alias analysis. The exception for alias analysis is that inttoptr/ptrtoint is discouraged for address calculation, but the analysis can reason about that. Performance wi

Agreed, rebasing also makes it much easier to find the set of commits you've added to your feature branch if the main branch is high volume.

It's the researcher who produced and typeset the article; the publisher does nothing more than hosting PDFs sent directly from the authors after they passed peer review, which is not something the publisher is involved with.

No it's not. Segmented stacks are a way of allocating smaller stack segments that are linked together with pointers and kept in the heap and is a means of implementing coroutines. Safestack is more complicated and it segregates the sta
