I couldn't quite understand but it looked like the cheater just stood there and witnessed the revelation unfolding without saying anything in confession or in his defense.

I don't understand. It sounds like you're describing the existing behavior for the existing types. But I'm asking for new types with new behavior. The rules could be defined behavior for these types, which is what I want.

Right, well a new type would give them that flexibility because I can opt in to the trap or saturate.

The program terminates - depending on context, I suppose. I don't know what all toolchains/backends do but some will generate an unaligned load or some other architecturally illegal code (__builtin_trap). or you could trap to so

I'd like to see integer types for C/C++ that are able to saturate or trap on overflow - or both types. I'm pretty sure it's even been proposed as a C standard but was rejected or postponed. It seems like a really obvious

I don't think that's old age. a young president could serve a single term, lose re-election and still be under 40. In their post-presidency they have the freedom of not pandering in order to be re-elected so they can speak freely.

Can you put that in some perspective with just an order of magnitude? Somehow it feels like next to auto or plane travel, or consuming beef - audio playback of any kind would seem like it isn't very significant. Hmm actually I wonder

I think I was just a bit too subtle with my joke. VSCode doesn't seem like a "on trusting trust" attack vector since we can easily observe the git outputs of the C/C++ source and these parts often reviewed by peers. Unl

Oh sorry. Chrome is not a toolchain in mostly any sense. Except for its extraordinary flexibility as browsers are in general able to execute code. So I thought it was obviously a joke that one would use a browser to compiler another brow

Pretty sure Firefox uses Chrome as its toolchain these days. Nice try son, but it's turtles all the way down. EDIT: just kidding - no "chrome-headless-c++ -c firefox.o firefox.cpp" (yet).

Please tell me you used Stable Diffusion to generate this repo after seeing this post on HN, and not that this is some kind of odd almost-rule-34 fandom domain.

That is awesome, I didn't know this existed. I've stuck with xps13 for the last ~3 laptops and that's worked well. I'd like to consider one of those ARM laptops next, maybe I'll find one in here. So far the first

I guess in practice this doesn't come up often. but it's a powerful testament to your confidence in ChromeOS' security. You are implying that you don't feel the same way about a Linux user guest login. But why? What add

I have friends here in the US who use WhatsApp and they are originally from Iran. I wonder, if it's been many years since they lived in Iran if they're still considered "Iranian" for the purposes of this blockage?

I'm a fan of Linux and a fan of ChromeOS. but are the user experience and security better on ChromeOS than Linux? It's a bit simpler than linux but I'd say Linux is a close second.

This is like emails from Nigerian princes with deliberate grammatical errors. It weeds out candidates who would turn them down after an interview, leaving only those candidates desperate or gullible enough to take the position.

This is a cool project. It looks kinda like the color scales are normalized to just-this-CPU's latency? It would be neater if the scale represented the same values among CPUs. Or rather, it would be neat if there were an additional v

IMO the comparison is similar but it's just not quite the same thing. Don't get me wrong - it's a big deal to have this popular open ISA. But I just don't think it's anywhere near as big a deal as Linux is/was
