This is akin to banning any application that calls 'malloc' and 'free'. To do ban static constructors they'd have to literally ban anything that links the C++ runtime, which is almost literally everything on your sy

AIUI they hired another huge contributor to LLVM/Clang/Swift to work on it so I'm not so sure it's on death watch.

I must be an outlier, because it's always been the opposite for me. I started on Mercurial and didn't use Git for years. The moment I switched to Git everything made so much more sense to me. Mercurial seemed like it did magic and

Perhaps it's because there's no phonetic difference that native speakers would not have learned the spelling or the rules at the same time, and thus make the error more commonly, due to not having felt a formalized understanding o

It's useful and practical and has a lot of work put into it so it can't really be called bad, but it doesn't really stack up to what native languages can provide at the high end, and never will (even if it can get pretty darn

I think the point is that it's not OSI open source , rather than not "open source".

What kind of sandboxing, and what are the most relevant source files to look at? I don't know much about sandboxing but I've been interested in learning more for a while. It would be cool to see how a Real Project(tm) approaches i

I think you're not quite incorrect but your nitpicking isn't so much clarifying as redefining terms. Lowering HDLs into logic that can be flushed onto LUTs does involve an intermediate compilation step, even though it does also in

IMO: If the country is the source of an outsized number of bad actors then – probabilistically and at scale – "you" are responsible, yes. I'm not trying to be blame-y here in that I mean the probabilistic "you" and

Swift does run on Linux and Windows. Getting to usable is a function of community; waiting for one means you won't be a part of helping build it.

doesn't it also use an older fork of LLVM rather than branching/rebasing off of master? That could account for losing out on optimizations.

Developers can in turn allow those user accounts to log in but only enable some features unless a real email is used. Sure, Apple could add even more complexity to their review process (delaying approval), or give stiff penalties to develop

Facebook has had anonymous email redirects for years. Developers hated it, and circumvented it; it hands control over the communication channel from the developer to Facebook, and not to the user. The same will be true with Apple login. The

Wow, that looks really cool. However, I use CentOS 7 and that documentation appears to indicate it's not an officially supported distro. Are you aware of alternatives to Mandos (even if they aren't as good) which have official sup

I get what you're saying but this kind of capture already happened with Sinclair, and it's mind-boggling how awful it can be at times. I think any kind of competition would move the needle closer to fairness rather than away from
