There has! Intel has Cache Acceleration Technology, and I was very peripherally involved in reviewing research projects at Boston University into this. One that I remember was allowing the operating system to divide up cache and memory ba

I didn't think something could be worse than everyone using Salesforce, but everyone using a different, constantly broken, incompatible SF clone that no one understands may be that.

He's saying the good half of developers have to deal with the increased slop output of the bad half. Probably will be overwhelmed by it, in the end.

Are investors really this dumb that they believe the main moat IBM has is COBOL? Do they understand nothing about how the companies that use mainframes work and how cautious and risk-averse they are? No one is going to vibe-code an Air Tr

I kind of wonder what percentage of these fines they're actually collecting. I suspect very little. Reddit has a UK company, assuming it's this one: https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/c...

The market doubly rewards companies that lay off workers and have a story about how they're automating everything with AI, even if that story is just a story.

AI makes it easier to create something , but that thing is not enterprise software with support contracts and conformance to mandatory regulations and 4 hour bug turnarounds and real people on the end of the phone who understand how it wor

If someone posts something to a project I run that they haven't tested (or in some cases even tried compiling) and they don't know how it works, then I block them. They clearly don't respect me or care about my time.

That ship has sailed. Lots of open source C projects already use attribute((cleanup)) (which is the same thing).
562.
by rwmj 8mo ago
This is the crucial difference. Scope-based is much better. By the way, GCC and Clang have attribute((cleanup)) (which is the same, scope-based clean-up) and have done for over a decade, and this is widely used in open source projects now.

Is there a link to the actual paper anywhere? That seems like a rather large omission. Without the paper it's hard to tell what they are actually measuring.

There's no world in which this case is being covered up. It's literally on the BBC News website and you have linked to it.

I remember after I read the 1st edition, bought MINIX ($150 !!), and then was very annoyed to find that the compiler source was not included. Luckily it was '89 or '90 and GCC sources were available.
