I have no clue how many calories running burns, but the act of moving around leaves you less time to eat :). Getting fat in the dark winters of Sweden is more likely for me, because I'm just bored and don't want to go outside as m

Yeah, I know that I made some heavy handed assumptions based on where we are (HN). Especially considering that 1 and 2 would make 4 more likely to be true, and 1 and 2 is likely true on HN AFAICT. >For reasons that I don't want to g

And why do highly educated people with well paid jobs accept this treatment? Is it because they want to treat others the same too? Before you ask: Yes, I am naive and ignorant :-).

All bovines for meat production have to be free range during pasture season in Sweden. I believe the same is true for Ireland. Anyway, grass fed pasture beef is a bit leaner, does have a strong flavour, but the tender cuts are still tender.

Uuhm yeah, they do. I can call my union representative right now to get help.

True, also on /r/programming. Actually, HN is typically more union friendly than /r/programming IME.

Yeah, because a cheese burger has cheese. What does a transpiler have? What is the common factor between all transpilers? Who decides on this layering of which languages are higher level or lower level? C2Rust doesn't call itself a tra

by the-alt-one 5y ago
Eh, I don't really see what this term gives us... So C2Rust is a compiler too, since Rust is compiled to LLVM?

Being unionized doesn't mean that pay is non-negotiable or anything of the sort. Yes, the union typically establishes a baseline pay based on experience, but individuals can still negotiate their own wages.

Are the techniques used different in such a case? Shouldn't it just be the same? Basically F(C) = R such that eval_C(C) = eval_R(R) where = means something like "discernible effects". Wouldn't an optimization pass be a t
