It creates the branch immediately for your last commit on your current branch. Therefore you have just named an undo point you could use later.

Is this form of polymorphism done at runtime and thus incurs a similar overhead to the C++ virtual?

Correct, he must have changed his attitude on some of those features that apply to C++ as well that he previously railed against. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23801076

Except that one of Linus' most vocal offenses on C++ was due to operator overloading and how basic, seemingly native things like + can actually do a lot of hidden stuff unknown to the programmer. He must have softened on this since Rus

That looks interesting as well, but it’s not the talk I was thinking of.

One of the principal maintainers of the Racket language once gave a talk, I think it was at the main Clojure conference, on a topic about Typed Racket, where he strongly outlined the reasons why HM inference is a bad idea. It was interestin

It’s unclear to me what eight channel memory actually means, I’m not used to seeing that mentioned in casual architecture overviews. What’s the benefit of that? Is that something that a programmer must explicitly take advantage of, or is th

There’s such a huge difference in the programming paradigm between writing for multi cores on a GPU versus a CPU. It’s really a very different kind of software architecture. I think it’s unfair to compare the two. And with such a huge CPU c

I’m curious, why is that ironic? Removing Boost dependencies in favor of modern STL is a common and healthy chore.

I think it’s appropriate for a service that allows you to permanently block senders, to make those senders know they couldn’t reach you. It’s just like if someone calls you and you never answer the phone, they leave you a message. They assu

Visual Studio (not the Code version, though some will include that as well) is arguably once of the best IDEs ever created, so you are not wrong. But often there are other issues. IntelliJ and its siblings can be very resource intensive --

One thing I like about vim is that the defaults are more sane than emacs. Almost no one uses emacs out of the box without extensive customizations. People customize vi too, but out of the box it is already pretty close to being there on its
