Same in Poland. I suspect they’re generally slower in Europe than US due to location of servers.

I’ve been using Kagi for a while. Unfortunately, its website on mobile is much lower quality than say DDG. One issue I find often is that when I want to edit a previously-entered query in the search box, sliding the text cursor is very hard

Care to give any examples of Linux distros without Perl?

> much lesser lines of code Doubtful. awk has a lot of implicit behaviour which allows the programmer to write very terse scripts. An equivalent Python program is usually several times longer.

Perl is installed by default on most Unix systems. FreeBSD being the exception. Python isn’t. Although Python is popular; if we’re comparing the probability of someone having the interpreter installed already, it’s greater for Perl, even if

Crunchyroll is the most bizarre streaming service I’ve tried. None of the anime had original audio tracks. One Punch Man was available only with a French dub. A Korean anime had many audio tracks to choose from... but none of them were Kore

Floating point numbers also don’t obey normal algebra laws and are notoriously tricky to get right. Two’s complement on the other hand form an honest-to-god commutative ring, their implementation is dead simple and it’s very rare that they

Statically linking with musl and enabling LTO sounds like what you’re looking for.

Hypothesis approach looks interesting. I’ll look into it. As for my approach to generation, there’s not much to it. Instead of generating arbitrarily complex values and then trying to shrink them to simpler ones, I start with simple values

I have a finite budget of code and time I can afford to spend. One of the choices gives me a much better RoI in my experience. I prefer to spend the rest of the budget on the main code.

Door A: tests find bugs sometimes (property-based) Door B: tests find bugs almost always with a fraction of the code (my approach) I choose Door B. I still test properties tbh. I just don’t let randomness ruin it and don’t need to implement

The problem with property-based tests is that for non-trivial input data, like e.g. source code for a compiler, it’s hard to implement shrinking, since it’s hard to tell in general what it means to simplify a program (or another piece of no

They didn’t sabotage them. The CPUs just didn’t align with Apple’s goals. It’s not like they gave the M1 CPUs the cooling that Intel didn’t get. My Mac Mini M1 never spins up its fans and everything is fine. I love it. If it did, I’d consi

I know about that. This is a special edition for embedded though. But CentOS is news to me. CentOS was targeted for servers.

CentOS wasn’t used in embedded systems.

I think on Linux at least it freezes due to watching too many files using inotify to update its sidebar. I wish there was an option to disable that. Same thing happens with Sublime Merge. It’s unusable on giant repos.

Perhaps that will bring FreeBSD from Tier 2 to Tier 1 of Rust support, if they cooperate with the upstream? https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/rustc/platform-support.htm...

It’s not a token separator in the "#define foo(x)" example. You never get a "foo(" token, regardless of whitespace, but whitespace decides whether it’s a function macro definition or a constant definition. The standard n

There is nothing unsafe about allocating more memory than necessary.

> Saying that one isa is faster or more energy efficient is like saying that c++ syntax is faster than java syntax. Which may be true, if we’re talking about compilation speed, although in this case the reverse is true.

1. How is cloning going to lead to it? 2. I don’t see anything wrong with that. I would have preferred to be born without inheriting neurological disfunctions common in my family.

But then it uses AVX instructions. (You can replace -march=znver1 with just -mavx.) When AVX isn’t enabled, the std::min + std::max example still uses fewer instructions. Looks like a random register allocation failure.
