I thought that this was a GCC extension(you need to use #define n 10 instead of int n = 10). Is this not the case anymore?

On box mods(the big vapes you might recall starting to see 10-15 years ago) there is a chamber up top you have to manually fill with nicotine. This can be a bit annoying to do but the real problem is remembering to bring liquid to refill wi

This is all well and good, but just because something came from before doesn’t mean it was a good idea then, or especially now. You’re basically citing survivorship bias. Of course something still used from the 80s is well made, otherwise i

> 1998 - 2009 was a tough time to be a Windows user Is that true? I was too young to really have an opinion but to me most people cite XP and especially Windows 7(ignoring Vista which was bad) as the height of Windows. Of course outside

Just because we are natives of this universe does not mean its behavior or characteristics will be naturally sensible to us. There is no “real” reason it should be something “simple” or reasonable to us. The universe simply is; us as well.

I really cannot until this business model FAANG has come up with in the past 20 years where they are somehow owed money by developers for creating services and products for a platform is completely repudiated. I owe you money because a user

I imagine you got that code snippet(or a similar example) from somewhere but to me the fairly obvious problem is the chafing between the C and C++ world. %s is for C style strings and I have to imagine that printf function is in the C world

And that’s just for your first recursive descent compiler. One thing to remember is that you will also one day want extended functionality in your language and either implement C FFI in your language(straightforward or even freely done for

IMO compilers make you a lot more mature in recursive algorithms and trees, and then after that much more conscious about what exactly the code you write resolves to in terms of that languages semantics. Learning how closures work(variable

Intel is coming out with an improved x86 instruction set that removes a lot of the cruft, called ‘APX’ for advanced performance extensions.

I’m wrong. Fourth paragraph from the bottom, last sentence they say “normal resource limits.” I thought that meant “the limit of something called normal resources” not the normal amount of the resource’s limit. Probably because I was trying

Programs are tightly coupled to textual representations because a compiler is a textual representation transformer. If you deviate from the accepted textual form then the compiler is generally clueless to do anything - that is, it can’t rea

Is option 3 exactly what you’re supposed to do? Freezing your dependency graph and/or explicitly denoting what version of the dependency you want are your best bets for avoiding problems like this

Seems to be “normal resources”, where normal probably meant file descriptor based.

If you are experienced then I’d say skim whatever sounds interesting from chapters 1-3, then do chapters 4/5 as they contain most of the interesting stuff.

10 years ago was 2014. What python code are you talking about? Deprecated, sure, and some things have been taken out of the standard distribution because nobody would maintain it(or there were reasons to not maintain it.) 2->3 conversion

I wouldn’t say they explicitly mention ASan, but in general you will see certain well known C++ developers/community members insist that with a set of sanitizers you won’t have to worry about the kind of things safety focused programme

I worded that part poorly, and did not bring up what really bothers me about it, that he tried to deny that there was a genocide in Cambodia. I agree with what you said. The idea that the US is innocent in Cambodia or really anything going

>perhaps less useful neither-ranked-nor-keyed access, wherein the trees are kind of a double-ended queue with just "edge access" For normal btrees this is absolutely true. For b+trees you will see this basically everywhere.

I’d recommend learning a lot more. For example, Phillip was actually an innovator in siege equipment and was the first person in Greece to really take towns by besieging them. You can count on two hands all the times in Greek history before

Your post is great and provides an elegant solution to the syntactic case for parameters, but it also lacks almost all detail on how this would work in practice. Say I’m writing the `void food(char a[..])` function. What are the semantics o

Others have pointed out that this amount is comfortable enough relative to GDP, but I also want to point of your method of arguing is dishonest. There will never be a day where the entire debt of a country is divided up among the citizens a

I mean let’s be honest adults here - a 300B national debt is literally nothing. Not even worth discussing in a post or even acting like it’s a problem. Ireland ran a 4 billion euro deficit last year; again this is meaningless. You can disli

The actual problem is that citizens get into their head that every immigrant that comes into the country is there to take jobs from citizens when the opposite is the case; immigrants are desired by the country to fill roles citizens don’t w

Chicago had a grid system before the great fire, maybe NY is a good example of this but I do not know. See this[0] 1869 map which shows Chicago was already quite regularized 0: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/com
