Yeah, I thought it was funny too, and upvoted it, but I guess more people disliked it than liked it.

That's an interesting thing to learn; thanks for sharing it.

I think part of it is the old feminist theory of the "second shift" [1]; they have careers now, but they're working twice as much as they used to, doing the bulk of the housework and childrearing, and keeping a full time job.

I hadn't considered that not everyone would agree with what I said; thanks for telling me what you think.

Even if you achieve the exact same outcome (e.g., you buy a well-made omelette from an eat-in restaurant, versus learning to make a good omelette by yourself), it's more satisfying when you've done it through your own effort. It&#

I see; I didn't realize they weren't actually OpenBSD developers. That completely changes things. I had assumed you needed permission or else you'd be blocked for posting on a mailing thread, or something like that, so I perc

I didn't know they weren't OpenBSD developers, or that they made patches like that. I'm sorry. I would delete my comment, but it's too late to do that.

I understand. I don't actually like it, and I wouldn't want Linux to adopt the same practice; exposing raw syscalls in assembly rather than libc functions allows for a more flexible runtime, since C is a lot more limited (although

What do you mean when you say "fat kernel"? Also, FYI, OpenBSD is never going to stop being written in C, and is never going to introduce a language like Rust into the kernel [1], so there's little point in wishing for this.

Thanks for the answer. Between what you, seabass-labrax and wg0 have said, I think I understand what happened better now.

There's also Cave Story, which came out in 2004. I find it really impressive that the creator made the art, music, music editor, sound effect editor, music format, game engine, and stage editor, with only C++ and the Win32 interface, a

Oh, my bad. I should have read the source more closely. I hadn't realized only 32-bit x86 processors were supported.

It will work if you only use raw pointers everywhere, like it's C. Don't use slices or strings; just pass a pointer to the first element of an array, and either pass its length separately or provide a sentinel value (like C's

It has unpredictable performance because of lazy evaluation. Other high-level functional programming languages like OCaml, Standard ML, and Scheme can be compiled and achieve fairly high performance.

It does support inline assembly [1]. However, it's different than the way GCC supports inline assembly. It seems nicer, TBH. [1]: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/assembler/inline/inlin...

Yeah, when I wrote that, I didn't realize they were also arguing for an alternate extension that would add address modes and the like. If they fail to add this to the standard, but go ahead with implementing their extension anyway, the

Thanks for the clarification. So, it's not usable as a monitor. It's still ahead of where I thought it was, but I guess that's just on me for not keeping updated.

Shen has type checking that you can turn on and off. When it's on, it's very much like an ML such as Standard ML. https://shenlanguage.org/ This probably isn't the "most Lisp like," though, even tho

Maybe 1000 years ago, when "man" really just meant person and there was a different word for males in particular. Nowadays, to refer to people as "man" it just sounds archaic and vaguely patriarchal, but people do it any

Not having the compressed instruction set extension wouldn't make Qualcomm's CPUs not RISC-V. They just wouldn't be compliant with the RVA23 profile.

Since you care about these things, why not try a language that has scoped threads and bounds checking built in, like Rust or Ada? Actually, I had written more about Rust and Ada, but then I read your blog, and it says you like C better anyw
