It's not. The self-hosted compiler still uses llvm, and it's still slow because of it.

Gimp still does that, it's rather useful if you want to play around with images without a loader.

My point was that categorizing limbs (differentiating them from one another) is done by function. Now that I think about it limb isn't what I had in mind anyway, what I meant to say was that we categorize parts of the body in terms of

Since we're going into this meta-philosophical thing, your statement is false. If I call a tail a leg, dogs definitely have five legs. Unless they were of course born without a leg, or have otherwise lost one. There is no "reality

This is all in theory. Everyone says this like it's already here but it's really not (in the sense that these fast jits are still mostly worse than well-written C). But what it is is mostly choosing optimizations based on runtime

That's a just-in-time compiler.

What's your native language?

That's no different than writing a traditional program and using big arena allocators for everything instead of individual allocations, except it's more complicated for no apparent reason.

It happens in any other language too, at least for me. Sometimes you have a thought but can't quite put it into words. My guess is that it's simply more pronounced in Ithkuil. Also, anecdotally, my inner monologue is sometimes beh

Unfortunately, not always. If it's from a book you only get the title & ISBN. As for ChatGPT, I don't think it's even possible to do it with the current model. They have absolutely no idea where a piece of information cam

And this doesn't count the fact that you're providing shade for cyclists as well. I wonder how expensive it would've been to make a simple roof just for shade; I imagine your value per meter goes up significantly considering

They maybe stumbled upon it and found it interesting. There's often no need for context, it can simply be an interesting article to read.

They meant using the equal operator, because floating point is inexact and can produce different representations for the same number depending on how it was obtained. Greater and less than are fine. Equal is usually implemented by seeing if

But what if I live somewhere remote without internet access? Such a simple thing as using the phone shouldn't be impossible.

I see less banks as being strictly worse. It's the same as with any other company. Yes that's less efficient, but it's the only way to prevent individuals from having too much power. Because almost anyone with that kind of po

I don't understand the downvotes. I thought the same thing. I agree with the other complaint on the error for too few arguments being unfortunate, but the one with too many arguments is on point.

That would imply it's out of date, which it apparently isn't. The website itself doesn't need updating if it stays relevant.

by stefncb 3y ago
Weird, it's always worked perfectly for me. Now that I think about it I haven't updated in a long time, and after this I probably won't.

We can tell if something is red or blue, but red and blue are huge spectra. That's like telling the first third of a piano keyboard from the second. Even I can do it. Absolute pitch is more like telling exactly what wavelength it is (t

I assume GP regretted sharing it, so maybe you shouldn't?

Yeah I think our arguments overlap in some ways. > That's all. Because our current languages are this way doesn't mean that the two concepts cannot be reconciliated or that one is just better than the other. I don't think

A nominal type system is not a more constrained version of a structural one. That statement would imply that any program written for the former would work using the latter as well, which is false. Name collisions would simply not resolve. F

We use "tribord" and "babord" in romanian.

In a nominal type system, a method x() is part of the interface X, while in a structural one it's part of the implementor of said interface. In Go there's a Human.HasOrgan(), not an AbstractBody.HasOrgan(). A consequence of this i

That seems way over the top. An ultrasonic sensor is really not a difficult thing.
