Unicode was originally meant to fit everything into 16 bits. UTF-8 is just a way to encode, it doesn't decide what goes into Unicode.

We're discussing programming language benchmarks. If one was forced to write all of a C or C++ or even Go program using only doubles, and not integers, and only hash tables, not arrays, undoubtedly it would become slower. The impressiv

A program written in C will execute faster if you run it multiple times, and slower if it has not been run recently. Presumably all of the benchmarks consist of many thousands of repetitions of the same process.

I program in Go and JavaScript, but don't enjoy it. I assure you that JavaScript is an interpreted language, and it does not have arrays or integers. This is not a harsh statement but a factual one.

Despite what the article says about Trump supporters being worried about climate change, this was a campaign pledge of Trump. So this, like the wall, is what people who voted for Trump actually voted for. Rather than blaming Trump, perhaps

When I saw this title, I was expecting to find something about using a computer to detect things like "use after free" errors. However, skimming the paper, it appears to refer to altering the source code to remedy compile-time err

Yeah, it's hard to contain one's excitement when one hears that version 0.17.0 of a project has just been released.

Whatever importance "v0.17.0" might have to the authors, it means no more to me than any other random string of digits. Regardless of the content, the title of this submission is ridiculously poor.
