What do you mean? With dotnet fsi? I just tried it and it reads UTF8 just fine, at least in windows terminal.

Based on my quick and dirty benchmarking, it's similar in terms of performance. The vector comparison is consistent, the unpacking comparison is about 1.5x faster if it can exit early, but 4x slower otherwise. Here are the results: ht

Fun fact: the French word engin still retains its original meaning of contrivance, contraption. But we still translate "search engine," which refers to this archaic English meaning, as moteur de recherche ("search motor&q

It's funny how little time it takes to go from "cultural" to "ethnic". Say what you think instead of using whistles: you think that Denmark conforms to your racially focused worldview, that it's "pure&quot

What do you mean by "for reference"? That URL is feature prominently in the linked blog post.

I program MCUs as a hobby. I wish I could use something better than C. Even C++ with RAII would be better. But somehow, even C++ support is spotty, with unsupported features, broken debugging, etc. for seemingly no reason. And all device-

It's not much of a "runtime", though. How is it better than a plain executable?

I guess I don't understand the point. Could someone summarize why I would use this rather than writing my utilities in something that doesn't compile to a quirky, limited programming language?

As usual, the US plays lone wolf and screws its "allies" over. We have a saying in France: promises only bind those who believe them. I'll belive the US is actually intent on curbing global tax evasion when I see it.

Uh... I have a PhD, I'm a tenured professor, and I even supervise a couple of PhD students. How about you? Given your snarky tone, it sounds like you'd have mentioned something like this. Not sure why you'd try to flex when y

... What? That's just symbol soup. What are you trying to write? Do it in latex if it helps.

> "Initiating legislation" for example, is just another way to say "decide what the law is". It's not. > It can only acquiesce to or slow down the Commission's decisions. That's not all it can do.

How can you frame a paper from 1965 as "very old" when the linked article is about Grothendieck, who started his math PhD in 1950 (and presumably studied math before that)?

As a mathematician, I have never, ever seen the equal sign used to denote proportionality. I cannot tell what you mean by "identity" that wouldn't be equality. And a definition in the sense you seem to mean is, indeed, also a

Even a single person can be hypocritical or self-sabotaging sometimes. And "an employer" is often not a single person but an organization with a bunch of people pulling in different directions. Some people making hiring decisions

At first it was "making decisions", then it was "initiate legislation", and now it's "decide what the law is". It's tiring to argue against moving goal posts and bad faith. Besides, the first sentence

Seriously? In my experience, having lived in several places in Europe and in the US: Americans like to pretend that calling it "pop" or "soda" depending on where you are in the country, or Chicagoans having a deeper pizz

I wasn't aware that "make decisions" meant exclusively "initiate legislation". You don't have to play coy, though: it is also middle school level knowledge that the parliament cannot formally initiate the legis

Eastern Europe, Northern Europe etc are not "continental"? That's weirdly reductive.

Fahrenheit is not an absolute scale, so there is nothing special about 0F, you're right about that. As for your other two examples (atmospheric CO2 and stock tickers)... Yes, the scale should start at 0. Why shouldn't they?

Have you actually read recent SF novels? Think what you will about awards, but I've never been exceedingly disappointed when I read a novel that won a couple out of Hugo, Locus, and Nebula. I'd suggest you start there.
