Nations which are heavily monocultural. Japan or South Korea are good examples, I think.

Even with a tree structure, you probably don't want your nodes owning their children just for the sake of being efficient with your allocations.

This is sort of a flippant response, but I'll answer it seriously. The premise of this question is incorrect: you can't not use the borrow checker in Rust. Instead, you are satisfying the borrow checker by ensuring at the poin

I don't think anyone was claiming the author was being intentionally deceiving, just that they're not very good at writing idiomatic Rust. The first thing I'd suggest, as someone who's done their fair share of Rust compi

I'm always surprised when people leave comments like these, based on nothing but N=1 anecdata. You don't have any authority to say something like "this is not true" with regards to the whole of the American healthcare ex

Somehow you've convinced yourself that the widespread exploitation of economically inferior nations by the first world is actually beneficial to those nations which is wild to me. I would argue that the massive amount of human capita

> "But can't people just find the no-no things online anyway, without an AI?" No, not really. I mean, sure, in theory this is true, but in practice it's a lot of legwork and finding no-no information takes a lot of kn

I can't tell if you're trying to split hairs or just being unintentionally obtuse. How do you propose sending clangd messages without executing it, i.e. starting the language server?

All of those companies have no issues using `ld` right? Binutils is GPL and has always been. Seems like a direct analogy.

You're missing the point. No one is being "punished" for their ancestors having owned slaves. The idea is to assist people whose ancestors were exploited, legally and systemically.

> The article itself says that students who want to go ahead will get private lessons. This is a ridiculously privileged view that hurts the people it claims to help. As a child, I was heavily invested in math, but I was raised by a moth

To the contrary: the fact that only one ever was found, to me, suggests that it was the work of one brilliant mind whose work was not understood or continued by their culture.

Isn't that only for publicly-traded companies? Vice Media is a private LLC.

As both a writer and someone who has a degree in math, I see the segregation of prose and mathematics into fundamentally different categories as arbitrary, perhaps even incorrect. I see an artistic element to mathematics, just as much as I

The way I've seen it defined is: If your wealth derives primarily from your labor, you are in the working class. If your wealth derives primarily from your wealth, you are in the ownership class. Do you have an alternative definition?

Haskell does this.

ICC is deprecated and will no longer see a release, but it uses the EDG front-end. Its replacement, ICX (the oneAPI compiler), uses clang as its front-end. There are essentially only four extant C++ front-end implementations: GCC, Clang, MS

I did get quite a hearty chuckle out of that.

The "problem" with the LLVM project is its massive success, coupled with its incredibly difficult problem domain. Turns out it's actually really hard to write modular compiler infrastructure that serves as the optimizer an

Sure, but it's a proposal from Andrew Kelley, the language creator, and it's got a bunch of thought-out subitems that seem to have real progress being made. It seems more likely than not that this will come to pass, unless the com

This comment feels non sequitur given that the linked thread is complaining about too many breaking changes, leading to them have to constantly have to fix the code after compiler releases.

Are there any major distros (or even minor distros) that haven't committed to the /usr/-merge at this point? I know Debian has been having issues, but for the most part that decision has been made.

Polynomial approximation was used throughout the video, and minimax was one of the final methods. Timestamp is sometime around 18:00. There seemed to be numerical issues with the approximation producing sin values above 1.0.

Not necessarily. If the branch is predictable, it may be better than branchless, particularly if the alternative is a cmov. From Agner: > As a rule of thumb, we can say that a conditional jump is faster than a conditional move if the cod

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it's mentally exhausting, but I can't help but feel like pieces like these are intentionally trying to create hype for hype's sake. Just by basic understanding of how human metabolism wo

This made me curious, and I'd never heard of this tool, so thanks for making me aware! To further my point, I just looked myself up (same as my HN handle), and I only found 7 comments removed by mods. Most of which were honestly fair t

Still way too high. Also, the actual figure I saw from the Apollo dev (different from the Relay dev's numbers) was 345 API calls per day per user, which changes your math significantly. The other issue was that 30 days notice is not ev

50% conversion is laughably high. The number of people in that Relay thread saying they wouldn't pay for the app was unsurprising to me. Not to mention that 3rd party apps would still not have access to NSFW content. I'd be surpri
