I've read the article and the comments with interest. I just have a question: if Windows ABI is so stable that 20-year-old programs are guaranteed to run, why are there computers with Win95 or NT that nobody dares touching lest some sp

I think the parent poster was not arguing that allowing this combination of accesses is invalid, just that it can't be called read-ONLY if it's not ONLY read. "Any color the customer wants, as long as it's black"

We should have two distinct, independent LLMs: one generates the code, the other one the tests.

IIUC Dell will have a line called Dell Premium that will cover the same market segment. It's just the XPS name that will disappear.

As you pointed out, the latter does a very different kind of highlighting. The former is truly semantic, but needs an external compiler (via LSP).

Analyzing the json_value struct, I don't get why values, object_keys and length are fields outside the union. I expected something like: struct json_value { enum json_type type; union { bool boolean; char *strin

You are not supposed to change anything on your Fil-C program to have it compiled by a regular C compiler. FUGC is not a feature your code uses, just something that runs in the background to catch possible use-after-free cases, but triggeri

It's worth noting that the original FizzBuzz problem is not "given a number n, print..." but rather "for the first 100 natural numbers, print...". In this formulation, you don't need the modulo operator: you ju

In Germany ATU charges 22€ for tires (17"), 18€ for wheels [1] In Italy Norauto charges 11€ for tires (17"), 10.50€ for wheels [2] Other countries show higher differences, though. [1] https://www.atu.de/pages/

No idea what prices you're referring. In Europe, the most popular car repairs franchise offers tire swap at less than 2 euro (per wheel) more than wheel swap. What steel wheel can you buy for 6 euro?

You are right. What gitless does differently is it saves (git stash) the uncommitted files before switching: branches are well isolated, it doesn't let uncommited files be "copied over", if you understand what I mean.

From a cursory read of the readme and design documents, it looks to me the key point about Evo is a different use of existing concepts, like branches, merges, etc. rather than new concepts. I guess if you want ephemeral branches, nobody sto

Thank you, but this thread was not about writing good code, but rather how often one ends up acritically copying existing "legacy" parts without even attempting to understand it. I probably used the wrong words: "conveys no i

What I find weird is that the chunk's size is fixed, while the caller must specify how many chunks a pool contains at pool creation. I would do exactly the dual: the chunk's size should be defined at pool creation, so that you can

In some way it's the dual of break, in that you want to jump into the middle of the loop, while break is to jump out of it. Let's rewrite the loop this way, with 'break' expanded to 'goto': while (true) {

The macro implementation requires braces. Even when the deferred action is a single statement you can't use this: defer fclose(f); Not a serious problem, just inelegant.
