Clearance could be granted on a whim by POTUS, as far as I can tell, so that has no leg to stand on. The biggest threat would be that one of the DOGE employees is a foreign actor. Hope they did some vetting...

Have you tried meson? I used it once many years ago, and it seemed slightly better.

If you're calling FFIs in an inner loop, you have bigger issues than the time it takes to clear the buffer, right?

That's what I glossed over as "complicated analysis". In my mind, if a compiler can understand register and stack use (required for static transformations), it can (theoretically, and with some effort) understand heap use. Am

Fortran 77 common blocks are the GOATs of arena allocation.

To me, Abiword was the best clone of the best version of Word. To bad it is more or less abandonware.

That would be easier but is not required. There are no compiler hints these days to unroll loops or hoist invariants, even though if done incorrectly it could change the result. It would take some complicated analysis, but I think it could

The more pertinent question to me is can we implement some new static analysis that understands buffer re-use and can hoist buffer initialization outside the loop? Rather than make the programmer write obfuscated code for efficiency, it is

I like Donald Knuth's approach where his version numbers of TeX and Metafont asymptotically approach pi and e, respectively, emphasizing the slow approach toward perfection.

Don't forget they bought Mellanox and have their own HBA and switch business.

Dumb question: does modern stack layout randomization affect the efficiency of recursion? On first glance I would be worried about cache misses.

And getting bigger, as it is moving toward us on a collision course.

Ironically I think one huge contribution that YouTube has made for the good is elevating the quality of STEM didactics. Channels like 3blue1brown and Veritasium have shown what STEM instruction could look like when not relegated to tenured

You should watch Severance.

I have never watched one, but I consume a lot of YouTube content. My teenager calls MrBeast-type channels "brain rot". He says teenagers watch YouTube when they want to make time disappear. (I guess they are uncomfortable being

I probably could, but I'm 99% sure it's a thinly veiled self promotion, as is usual from him.

CinemaStix has also been fighting these lately. In their case, YouTube seems to have zero regard for Fair Use, and short-sighted film rights holders are striking every video containing any amount of their film, even though the publicity Cin

PDFs are essentially compressed Postscript, which is Turing complete, so a PDF in theory can do anything you want.

As a cancer researcher myself, I'd point out that some branches of the decision trees in the NCCN guidelines are based on studies in which multiple options were not statistically significantly different, but all were better than the pl

Technically, yes, but it's no longer where most organizations index relevant information.

I pointed it to PornHub, and it returned this curiously wholesome summary: - 140 million daily engaged users - 600,000 active content creators - 1 million hours of free content available - Features include playlist creation and co
