I'm a C++ enthusiast interested in embedded programming but I have very little experience. What is the rationale for your company's avoidance of the STL, is it primarily binary size?

But this is in deployment software, i.e. I interpret your assertion as meaning "bug prevalence in software after it has been debugged is the same regardless of type system." My argument is that, at least for me, code becomes bug-f

In my opinion, you've got the order wrong: types are the abstraction, and untyped-ness is the concrete implementation (just look at almost all assembly languages). > Do you want to invest your time worrying about types or actually

Well if you're on a local network you could be using scp or rsync, both of which do folders and at least the latter of which does compression and avoids transferring duplicate files.

So what I'm hearing is that we should send myopic people into space to fix their vision!

When you only allow the already-successful or already-high-IQ people into the selection pool, don't be surprised when you find that your pull is full of successful high-IQ people. This is called selection bias: the Asians in this study

I too would like to hear about how org-mode is an effective task manager. On its face, it seems like grandparent is saying "This doesn't compare with the power of Markdown for managing to-dos." One is a tool, the other is a f

Also, I tried a wireless keyboard once and there was a perceptible delay between me pressing the key and the keypress showing up on the screen, which is really unacceptable.

No, it doesn't, which is why I said this is better implemented with a template :)

No, because the expression is not evaluated at any time. Only the type of the expression is used. A much better implementation would be using std::begin, std::end; #define countof(x) (end(x) - begin(x)) (except for the double e

The point is that nobody knows if it's reproducible, because nobody's attempting to reproduce it.

As a C++ programmer, I'd like to ask how is this different in effect from template<typename T, std::size_t X, std::size_t Y> std::array<T, X + Y> app(std::array<T, X>, std::array<T, Y>);

I'm not sure you could do what this does and give the members of the struct a user-supplied name though.

by tines 11y ago
I think the difference is that you can't (afaik) generate a struct with metaprogramming.

std::string isn't reference-counted in a conforming implementation (that doesn't do atomic ops just for fun).

This is what C does, so I don't think Go deserves much credit for innovation on this point...

Though the philosophy is different, I'm not sure I see an advantage for NIL when you just look at the effect it has on a programmer's code. You can still have a "NULL-pointer dereference" in CL, except the error is rephr

Seems like the under-definedness of integer addition would allow the compiler to emit better code, not worse, because it doesn't have to check for overflow.

Apparently it's not even really a "language" in the same way most articles mean, but simply an Erlang library.
