Oh, very nice! I've dealt with forsaken deeply abstract vtable mazes of hell, but the idea of using a ton of sum types, dynamic dispatch, async everywhere, and long iterator chains would make for some deliciously unreadable binaries!

You can run Crysis in software rendering on a high core count AMD CPU. It's terrible use of the hardware and the performance is far from stellar, but you can !

The main concern Wikipedia has with notability is that if you don't have reputable secondary source writing about the topic, then you won't have references for any claims in the article. People just starting adding things that the

I think they're referring to AN/I interactions, more than content in articles. ANI is the Administrators' Noticeboard/Incidents page, where people come to complain about more or less urgent problems they have with other

Git conflict resolution isn't great, but it's also not much worse than MediaWiki's existing conflict resolution today. It doesn't matter all that much whether your servers are federated or served from a single domain, th

Wikipedia has a similar problem to Stackoverflow, though nowhere near as bad, where the active community members really care about rules and have a whole established process and tooling for efficiently dealing with new contributions that do

Higher is better. The analogy is speed. You want more speed. It's not a physical speed, just a benchmark number. Think of it as arbitrary units, which allows you to compare different version of browsers on the same machine.

I bring criticism: The first few bars on my screen cannot be read, as the text is hidden behind the floating HUD. If I click on the next few bars, to bring those below the box, then the bar becomes too small and the text is cropped, so I ca

The mRNA vaccine mostly stays near the site of injection: your arm. This is why your arm mostly aches, and the rest of your body not so much. A bunch of cells there will die, because your immune system much prefers an innocent cell dead tha

Making a patent troll is just a matter of putting up a press release and a web page. I could claim to have a long list of patents against AptX. Anyone could. Of course I'm not willing to disclose the list of patents at this time, but c

That's part of why digital libraries are important! Wikipedia has its own "Wikipedia Library", which is a system to allow active editors access to high-quality sources. But if it has to be resorting to Sci-Hub or libgen to ch

Is there hope that we could some day achieve an exhaustive lists of all undefined behavior that C programmers need to be aware of? I realize no one really knows today, but is there a path?

While I'm not the world's #1 Golang fan, this is something that they have. They took a lot of complexity out of the language, so any code you look at will seem very simple & readable. There's not a lot of magic syntactic

Without trying to pin everything on the CEO, I don't think it's also fair to treat Firefox as helpless and doomed. For another data point we can look at Thunderbird, another Mozilla project. Thunderbird had started stagnating. It

It's not the worst idea. The Linux foundation will let you buy a @linux.com email (for people who want to feel like an important Linux person). I like that it's not something like FirefoxOS where they need to invest years of R&amp
