Honest question: where do you discover registry stuff like this?

Thanks for the link, that's some really groundbreaking analysis. It even reminds me of this book 1984 by George Orwell

It isn't really a matter of can do/cannot do. It's more about the default patterns promoted by the idiomatic way of writing code. Yeah you could write C++ code that constantly passes around allocators while also using STL hea

Yeah when I heard about this I instantly thought of game engines, but it makes total sense for HFT too. "Modern C++", with all its constant little mallocs and frees is so awful for anything that requires ultra low latency

Daskeyboard, like most mechanical keyboard makers, uses plastic cherry mx keyswitches or the generic chinese cherry clones. Those will feel nothing remotely like either a selectric or a good mechanical keyboard such as a model F/M. The

Which also means that is basically impossible to read some eigen code and mentally visualize the compiled asm. Though there are certainly situations where that doesn't matter, it can be quite annoying.

I get that openbsd is obsessed with security, but this still makes me a little sad. C is very old, and it should be possible to create programs and programming languages that have no idea what C is or what libc is. Forcing all programs to c

The fact that you need to type 33 characters to define something so simple as clamp() really does not make sense

Why? Everything I've seen posted here from Quilette has been well-written and thoughtful.

Copying and pasting python code is annoying (more so because it doesn't have macros or any metaprogramming really) and having to indent things in the python repl just feels dumb. I don't know anyone who thinks python does "we

Why doesn't google.com have a comprehensive list of these? I'm constantly seeing new ones that I didn't know about, but google never teaches you about them so you have to find them in obscure blog posts

The perverse incentive is that people are forced to choose between the benefit and going back go a job that might not pay much more, thus distorting the supply curve for labor. If the benefit were unconditional like UBI, the supply curve wo

This is the most clever thing I've seen posted on this site in a while. This was in 2008 and they said it would be sold within two years, so I assume that it wasn't a successful product? Or at least never made it to the West?

Good post. I would add that since Moore's law is over, I think the long-term prospects for crap like electron and discord are not good. Future phones and laptops will (almost certainly) never be orders of magnitude more powerful for re

There are plenty of reasons why someone might prefer an AR-15 over a hunting rifle to defend against animal pests. Just to think of a few: - The AR-15 is semiautomatic, compared to hunting rifles which are often bolt-action, and thus less c

Don't take my word for it - read it yourself. It's trashy YA kitsch. Contrast with catcher in the rye or LotR afterwards
