The registrant is itch.io. Sounds like victim blaming.

You may wish to talk to someone to evaluate whether the company you work for might be completely dysfunctional-- none of that list sounds like it's coming from a healthy place. > 9. Managers usually can never be a normal employee ag

If you're implementing C23 compatibility, you could do auto p = (thing_t *)malloc(sizeof(thing_t)); and you get both DRY and avoid (void *) casting.

I disagree with that advice, FWIW -- (void *) is the cause of a lot of bugs in C programs, and much stricter type checking was often the norm for compilers like CodeWarrior on platforms like classic Mac OS, where (a) if you got something wr

This isn't an inherent problem with RAII; it's a design/architecture problem. Not every object needs a destructor; if free() is a bottleneck, you have other serious problems that you need to address. Also, arena-type approach

re: 4 -- Facebook and reactionary politics have been hand in hand from the beginning of general public access to Facebook -- the world would be in a much better place without it.

The government desperately wants US fabs because the military requires tech and it's increasingly dangerous to rely on globalization when the globe is going nuts -- the rest of it doesn't really matter.

That assumes a functional antitrust mechanism. We don't know what the next admin will do yet other than attempt technically illegal revenge on people they hate.

Eh, firewalls can be made strong enough, at least for some things. A software parallel is: you are Apple / Facebook, do you use Azure and/or AWS? I wouldn't, if it were me, but they do.

That sort of transition would be managed unambiguously. This is a firing.

C++ language spec doesn't specify and doesn't care about ABI (infamously so; it's kept the language from being used in many places, and where people ignored ABI compat initially but absolutely needed it in the future, as with

what? how do you measure deaths per kWh for solar power and get anything above background noise?

Nonsense. Buy an LG TV of any kind. Never connect it to the internet. Plug in an Apple TV (or Linux HTPC box of your choice). Ad-free TV at consumer prices. edit: not just OLED

`short c = a * b` can be both well-defined and a serious bug if (a * b) is greater than `sizeof(short)`. Whether it _is_ a bug depends on what you're doing. Swift has units as part of the standard library. In the sense that matters her

Isn't something fundamentally broken with either the kernel or the adoption process if that's true? It seems like you should be able to do fast async I/O without the kind of privilege escalation vulnerabilities that are still

None of that stuff was pre-NT, though. Windows 2.1 was not something you'd want to deploy on an ATM.

This is really the issue with the article -- it's the CS equivalent of pop-psych feel-good advice like "write a page every day and you'll have a novel before you know it." It doesn't solve your actual problems. It d

If you knew how to design programs you could run it all on a single box and wouldn’t have to design “systems.” I’m being slightly facetious, but only slightly. If you really think everything is solvable with arrays, you are not going to sca

Tesla is a memestock. There's no reason it should be as high as it is; the fundamentals aren't that great and Musk is a danger to the company whether he's in or out of government.

Right wing media has been making people feel bad for 25 years straight now. They radicalized an entire generation and made them fear brown people and Democrats. Despite the fact none of it's reality-based. It's not working out too
