Rust was originally garbage collected. From Graydon Hoare's post, he didn't want explicit lifetimes originally either. He agreed because he thought they would always be inferred by the compiler. https://graydon2.dreamwi

Yeah, I use GNOME on my laptop every day, and I say it's pretty good. Things "just work" enough for me to focus on doing my work or enjoying myself without having to worry about the DE, and I like the defaults, mostly; it&#

Sometimes, if your computer has memory to spare, allocating more memory will make the program faster. For example, I've read a paper that found that, for a compiler written in C, allocating tree nodes using arenas and deallocating aren

This is still true, and it's mandated by the ISO C standard that a[i] is equivalent to (*((a)+(i))) (yes, they specify it with that many parentheses). You're still able to compile code that treats a[i] and i[a] interchangeably. h

Prior to C99 (i.e., in C90), there was a rule that any undeclared identifier id that was followed by a function call parenthesis would be treated as though there were an implicit declaration in the scope in which it was used like this:

That does make sense. My bad, I should have looked closer and noticed the implicitly defined functions. It's not even a good idea to do that on modern computers, because implicitly declared functions do type promotions from float to do

I haven't looked that deeply, but I don't see many sins in this source code, either, except for the K&R style, weird formatting and doing too much in one line, like this line in the file CAT.C: if(*(Ptr = argv[i]) == &#x27

It has things to teach beginner, intermidiate, and advanced users of Git, though the very first levels are for introducing commits and branches. So far, it's the best tutorial I've found on Git.

There's PreScheme, which is a restricted dialect of Scheme that compiles to C. I haven't used it, but it seems like C with Lisp syntax. It has no support for closures, garbage collection, or first-class continuations. Vectors aren

I agree that being able to have children on a single income without 1950s gender roles would be the most ideal outcome. Like I said, though, I kind of wonder how a country could get there. If it became more common, the country would become

Isn't feminism and the women's liberation movement what caused women to stop becoming stay-at-home mothers and enter the workforce instead?

by trealira 3y ago
Feminism arose in the US during the 1950s in the first place because a significant amount of women were not satisfied with being stay-at-home mothers and wives. Even if the world were suddenly taken back to the 1950s, the same thing would h
