It was already announced in early development that this is going to be an oversized expansion card. No bad surprises here. And if this is sitting as stable as the other expansion cards, then there should not be much of an issue transporting

I disagree. There are plenty of programs that run just fine on Wayland. I acknowledge the effort that OP has put into this project. And if the OP plans to use X11 for the foreseeable future, then it makes sense to target X11. But for any ne

It doesn't matter how low the error rate is. The fact that the European Commission wants to have a third (robotic) participant listening in on every digital communication is absolutely ridiculous. Saying that this is about child protec

The official Clojure (JVM) project has an official sister project: ClojureScript, which is designed to be compiled to JavaScript (and maybe Webassembly in the future?). There is a lot of code that runs with both languages and therefore I do

Interesting to hear this from a Nim developer. Do you think Nim would be a good fit for what facebook needs? (Normally I don't check author's names in hacker news comments. But I wanted to check if this is WalterBright posting her

Very fascinating. Were you at least able to pinpoint a part of the production process that produced different results, or was the difference only visible once the final product was "assembled"?

I really like my framework. I don't mind that it is not the fastest in the benchmarks, because faster computers will be released in the future anyway. I don't want to chase the newest and fastest when what I currently have is perf

If you really want to understand how programming languages work internally, you should look at assembly language or possibly at the bytecode interpreters of some scripting languages. C is still fairly high-level.
