Any look into this will show that C's designated initializers are significantly more flexible/better in every way.

Say your car and another car got in a crash, but you both panicked and drove away(that is, you did not inspect the damage.) You get home and finally summon the courage to look at your car. It's busted. With that information you can inf

No. This is a kind of duff’s device[0] although it is hard to identify. In essence, it’s attempting to manually unroll the loop’s - the while(true) - switch cases, so that if you have a PLUS then a DROP right after it can just run linearly(

Most of the stuff I have read on this presupposes that some kind of phase transition(think of the early universe being in a 'boiling' phase and then condensating) occurred that caused the field which drove inflation(with the force

I think questions like this are both ultimately unknowable and assignable to a few realities. Rust is newer and thus was more likely to gain steam, all other things held equal. It was built for a specific reason, in response to a specific d

While there are many possible answers, it eventually boils down to Unix being a C runtime and thus has a C culture. Lisp is from outside of this section of the world, so it simply had less adoption and support inside Unix land. Other langua

No, and hasn’t been close to as you describe in a long time. Reddit made these people give up some of the subreddits that were on the old defaults list. The truth is that this generation of Reddit user is long gone; see /u/qgyh2 o

Very interesting and I can’t really blame them on the price point; this is basically the pinnacle of the in-house engineering they’ve been working at since they decided to spin out their own processors. I think it is so early on for these k

An easy to reach for activity that usually involves parsing is stuff like Advent of Code, where there is almost always a parsing step.

I guess I will ask since I couldn’t find it looking, does anyone happen to have a link to the person that was creating atomic data structures by making them fit into a uint64_t? Or am I misremembering?

I did not really like how fast and loose with history you were, so I will just say that they did not clean up their act on their own, but were forced to. Many things have been forced on the states judicially, brown v board of education, bak

Of course this is true, that is why it's a real threat when a company like Samsung, with the resources and money to make these things convenient/unnoticeable to normal users is a real problem to Google

Yes… it is a strawman, you just keep responding to something I never said. I mentioned regulating farming’s use of water in each of these posts. I simply am not going to sit here and act like bottling water is somehow “”ok”” according to so

You have made a strawman where I said growing almonds was a great idea or something - it isn’t and should be stopped, but let’s not sit here and act like Nestle is anything but a dreg scraping parasite. Farming practices in the US should ch

Good thing one of those is required for civilization, ye, life itself to function, and the other is wrapping water in a plastic container. Certainly agriculture must use water more efficiently, but let’s not compare apples to oranges.

I think that the general point being made here is that C’s general execution model, as you call it, really is just a PDP-like computer because that is what they had when making C.

I know you aren’t denying OPs points but the fact that the solution is to just run Linux(with a $99 fee, from what I can see online) to solve how bad Docker is on OS X is a huge problem.
