Yeah, I suppose. /* get size required for malloc */ size_t getsize(const BinaryTree *tree) { size_t acc = sizeof(*tree); match(*tree) { of(Leaf, x) { return acc; }

Too often that I find the C extension projects introduced here on HN would omit examples for dynamically allocated objects. In the binary tree example, apparently I can't just memcpy an existing tree to a malloc'd tree because the

Your car example makes for a fun scenario where you lend someone a one-of-a-kind car, and that person sells it to someone else, and you manage to buy it back from that someone else (maybe for a quite high markup). Then when the time comes f

Not really my field, but I got curious and followed the rabbit hole. The article in question would be (in DOI) 10.1364/OL.32.003558, followed by erratum 10.1364/OL.33.002854, and then the comment by Trebino 10.1364/OL.34.0026

This is totally off-topic, but I really feel like slapping the designer of the font with a tuna or something. Is it intentionally designed to be provocative? Apparently, the font is called Libre Baskerville, but when I viewed it on Google F

As an outsider, the situation is quite amusing to see. One side wants to revoke 230 so that the tech companies would stop policing content. Another side wants to revoke it so that the companies would police more content instead.

Note that "the original" in the above comment refers to the movie series, not the comic books. There were two movie series post-2000 by different directors. The second one didn't feature Doctor Octopus. In the comics, he was

People used to go to the arcade parlour to play coin-op games. In one perspective, that was also games-as-a-service.

Unfortunately none of the examples contain malloc, whilst I'm curious as to whether the pattern matching works with heap allocated object. The binary tree example only has statically defined tree, which blows up into lots of code in as

I can't argue for oil, but for food, unless everyone agrees to eat only processed food or cook by themselves, it's still going to see some inflation.

Because there are accents in spoken sentences. Now if you would include accent marks in the letters it might make it easier to parse. Sadly, as far as I know there are no standard accent marks for kana.

I imagine the compile would be magnitudes slower than Rust or C++, and I can't really stomach slow compilers. Yesterday I was hacking on a Qt app and the time taken to rebuild after a slight change to the header is distressing (more th

Yes, but when you market yourself as a general purpose OS, someone is bound to use it somewhere they deem to be a general purpose. Not to mention it's easier for lay people to program things for Win95 than other OS due to availability

The difficult part is to convince that (9.9999.... - 0.9999....) = 9. Someone else mentioned about Zeno's paradox involving Achilles and the tortoise. Since you multiplied x by 10 to get 9.9999...., you know that it's always going

I (and most of my colleagues) stopped using vcxsrv at my workplace since we moved from Qt4 to Qt5. At some point in between, Qt stopped supporting native X11 painting[1] which means all of the graphics are now drawn as bitmap at server side

As far as I know, std library specifically uses the word "nonzero" in the documentation to denote non-false value. Therefore you should be using !, &&, || for any boolean ops, but never == nor !=

Pedantically that is true, but you should still word it as "at least one of them" to avoid being misunderstood.
