I didn't know. I guess I am one of today's lucky 10,000 (see https://xkcd.com/1053/ ).

No it isn't. As _old_dude_ pointed out, this is a runtime API that generates JIT wrappers. Rust's cxx does no runtime code generation, while P/Invoke does.

Yes, P/Invoke has been working cross-platform for a decade with Mono. Have you heard of this thing called Gtk#? P/Invoke does not parse C headers, but neither does this proposal.
874.
by sanxiyn 5y ago
You could say this is P/Invoke for Java, which .NET had for more than a decade now. Better late than never I guess.

Yes they are, but you don't need to fork for a lot of workloads.

Uninitialized stack is just negligence. Compilers can trivially initialize all stack variables. Yes, it's slower, but Android and Windows already chose slow but secure default. Linux just decided to be insecure.

GNOME developed GObject Introspection and it works well for GNOME.

Disagree. No one is obliged to be recipient of psyop by state actor.

One thing Indian media does better than Western media is not to rebroadcast Zelensky indiscriminately. Let's face it: it's a propaganda. They should extract informational content, not quote verbatim. Just as you would do so for Ru

That's ridiculous. North Korea is not crazy, there is no conceivable reason why North Korea would use nukes against USA unless regime is attacked. If that was the goal, there was no reason for sanctions whatsoever. Truly, "nukes a

The (stated) goal of sanctions on North Korea was denuclearization. North Korea continued to do nuclear tests and haven't returned to NPT yet.

Yes, but that's very different from food logistics failing in Russia so "people may starve". That sounds extremely unlikely.

I did follow Indian coverage for a while for that exact reason, but it didn't seem that different from BBC or CNN (except heavy focus on Indian students as you would expect) so I stopped. Had this changed?

Why would Russian logistics fail?

Simplicity is vastly overrated.

Russia is #1 exporter of wheat.

I am sad to report that in South Korea, which produces fission power very well and does excellent fusion research, the leading anti-nuclear activist (also a member of congress) is vocally against fusion and already proposed to cut 100% of f

This isn't really true. Yes first of a kind is expensive and there is learning curve, but learning is serial and iteration cycle is long. You can't build 1000 plants in parallel and learn 1000x. Solar power cost is falling fast be

Fuel cost is not significant, waste disposal even less so. (In fact, usual accounting of nuclear fuel cost includes waste disposal cost. People argue cost is not accounted in full, but as accounted, waste disposal typically costs 1/6 o

This is where tritium will come from, but not where it does now.

ITER plans to test breeding tritium from lithium. It should work in theory, but there is no practical experience yet. Current tritium used in fusion research is entirely produced from fission reactor moderated by heavy water, and there is o

This was trained in simulation and then zero shot transferred to actual tokamak, namely https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokamak_a_configuration_variab... . All reported results are on actual tokamak.

I would say a16z is realistic about it. From the article, "Heterogeneity is here to stay".

The book is not peer reviewed, yes, but it meticulously cites (peer reviewed) social science research for most of its claims. I did spot checks and citations are good. (Through checks would be full time work. 1/7 of the book is dedicat

a16z invested to Replay, "The Time Travel Debugger for Web Development". Go read about it here https://medium.com/replay-io/launching-replay-the-time-trave... and read this again. It all makes sense.

by sanxiyn 5y ago
I have read the book and it is pretty common sense and reasonable. I recommend you to read the book too.

I think this would be fair, and it has been done. Ghostscript had two branches, Aladdin Ghostscript and GNU Ghostscript, where GNU Ghostscript is approximately one year behind.

The statement is that love usually wanes. Science is quantitative. You would laugh at people arguing "so vaccine works except when it doesn't?", wouldn't you?

Re: sharing DNA. That's like saying why does this same binary behave differently depending on configuration: in other words, non sequitur. It is normal: some female fish is 10x larger than male fish.

I think it's entirely different. Tower is a specialty foundry.
