I read what the text says but I still do not understand what the point is they are trying to make. What is it that AI does exactly that they consider to be bad for mathmaticians? I thought that having AI solve prevously unsolved problems wo

Yeah don't worry too much about it. You are still young, this is your first book. That is a great accomplishment. Don't let the comments discourage you, use them, learn from them and your next undertaking will be even better. Be p

I see, you thought I meant that C was the only language with this property. No there are plenty of others, I was fully aware of that. I on the other hand thought you meant that JOVIAL in some way was even thinner or more tuned to underlying

I am curious, what was it I said that you consider to be a myth? If I have some misunderstanding I would like to know. I looked at JOVIAL on wikipedia quickly but I can't see exactly how it would be thinner than C or if it's compi

True, it doesn't give you the bare machine. What it gives you is the thinnest of machine abstraction with the possibility of linking to your own assembly if you have the demand for it.

This is, perhaps surprisingly, what I consider the strength of C. It doesn't hide the issues behind some language abstraction, you are in full control of what the machine does. The bug is right there in front of you if you are able to

First off, I want to congratulate you on reaching this milestone. I think this is the state where the most seasoned programmers end up. They know how to write code that works and they don't need a language to "help" or "

I agree as a whole but aren't all thoughts some sort of guesswork? Facts just have a higher probability?

If Linux previously always outperformed Windows the result should be similar this time around as well. It could possibly be some missing feature or a bug in the linux drivers but it sounds unlikely to me. I mean the architecture isn't

I just want to be a bit picky and say that bike shedding means focusing on trivial matters while ignoring or being oblivious to the complicated parts. What he described sounded more like a combination of feature creep/over-engineering.

A command-line tool called berk that is a versatile job dispatcher written in c. It is meant to replace big clunky tools like Jenkins, Ansible etc. It has syntax similar to git. It works pretty well, just need to iron out some kinks before

Yeah I am not advocating creating a new seperate register, even though that would be nice. Like the poster below said, there are usually some unpreserved registers to choose from but if you for some reason cant spare a register you could in

I think it would have been better if they had designed it so that the error message from the kernel came in a seperate register. That would mean you didnt have to use signed int for the return value. The issue is that one register now is so

I have no experience of using it so I might be wrong but AMD has ROCm which has something called HIP that should be comparable to CUDA. I think it also has a way to automatically translate CUDA calls into HIP as well so it should work witho

Sad to hear this since I think this was the lander containing the Moonhouse art project. I would have loved to see the little red cottage on the moon with the earth as it's backdrop. I know it didn't exactly serve any scientific p

I would buy one but only if I am guaranteed to be able to compile the source code somewhat easily and flash it to the device. Anyone knows if they have made any promises around that?

I am on the complete opposite side here. I detest language specific package managers for many reasons.

by jezze 2y ago
I think you have something promising there. I like that everything starts with a keyword, it makes the language feel consistant and I assume the parser is simple to understand because of it. I like that you distinguish a procedure from a fu

I don't understand the immediate concern about using 32 bits for file creation and modification times. Its reasonable to assume that if the value has overflown and is very low that its not indicating a date from 1970. There is probably

A linker typically only includes the parts of the library it needs for each binary so some parts will definately have many copies of the same code when you statically link but it will not make complete copies. But I wouldnt consider this bl

One thing I remember was that DOOM did not run well on the 486SX. You needed the 486DX which had an FPU. Maybe there was a 486DX with 33mhz but most were 66mhz I think?

Yeah good question. And what is the current tick rate?

I think there is a company that does this exact thing.

Yeah NewOS is the basis for Haiku. Travis later created another kernel called lk. That is the one that was used as the base for Fuchsia if I remember this correctly.

Wouldnt it be faster to do length & 1 instead of length % 2 and also length >> 1 instead of length / 2? But maybe the compiler does this behind the scenes?

They are close, it screws up som characters but you can actually figure it out. Spoiler: Another way is instead of asking to get it reversed is to ask for it with spaces between each character.

I suggested to only communicate using hand signals. A pretty terrible idea I must admit.
