While QNX is mentioned, does anyone know of any materials detailing the implementation of MX tables in QNX? I've stumbled upon a brief synopsis[1] of what they do, but it lacked implementation details (such as: do the entries need to b

What do you mean when you say that Gnome is the default in Debian? Every time I installed Debian in the last 10+ years, it showed a list of checkboxes with desktop environments to select in the installer. So you can install 0, 1 or more des

I've watched an interview on MSDN with one of the developers of .NET (I think she was responsible for the GC), who also used to work on Windows, making those famous workarounds making games work on newer Windows releases, even when the

I'd agree, if the result type was the same as the input type. However, notice that the function I wrote returns an unsigned type, so in the case of byte-sized types it would be fn abs(x: i8) -> u8 , i.e. there is enough space for

Yes, that may be read as patronizing. And maybe I should have been better, but if you read the comment I replied to, you may see how it was provoked.

Someone has to write those libraries you're using, and they need to test it. Maybe you're satisfied with having a job consisting of gluing libraries together, but not everyone is like that and there is no need for being patronizin

Maybe it's true for CRUD apps. I was speaking from the experience of writing compilers. From what I've read, logical/algorithmic bugs are also common in gamedev. I'm most interested in algorithmic code though, so that ma

I see completely different problem. Just because there are branches in your code, doesn't mean there are branches in its inputs. And just because there are branches in the inputs, doesn't mean they are reflected in the code. So yo

It depends on the screen and the software. On Linux in Firefox this page's legibility is pretty poor. However, when I was reading this page on iPhone, it was perfectly legible. Also, Computer Modern on the same screen, but rendered by

The money is created when someone borrows it. But you cannot lend more than a certain multiple of what you have as deposit. This multiple is decided by the central bank.

It has poor support for input formats though. E.g. it still doesn't support CR3. I prefer RawTherapee which supports CR3, doesn't look like a space station and still is miles ahead of Lightroom in terms of capability.

You make it sound as if pop singers used autotune selectively, judging when it's better than natural technique. I wrote my comment in the context of large swaths of pop singers who use autotune indiscriminately in all their songs, thro

I think Concurrent ML (1991) had select before Go. Go itself took it from Newsqueak (1994) and Limbo (1995) I think. The name itself probably comes from the UNIX select(2) syscall, which first appeared in 4.2BSD (1983).

There is no single thing that makes a song interesting or memorable, but technical proficiency is one of factors. Of course, I don't think that being "at the top" in technical proficiency makes a song any better than being ju

Regarding remoting, I've found that running firefox through ssh -X makes sshd on the server max out the CPU and cause a very slow repaint. But eliminate ssh from the equation (use X11 forwarding without ssh, just let the remote f

I feel similarly about macOS. The Snow Leopard/Mojave-era rounded-edges were at least passable. But what they did in Big Sur (re edges, padding and colours) is straight up comedic. Unfortunately, it appears to be the platform with the
