Yeah, despite puritanical hand-wringing over C23, I do like both the discipline and the selectivity with WG14 has shows (and I say this as a card-carrying C++ hater). I do wish the…

It doesn't.

But if I don't care for object atomicity, can I get struct-like behaviour in Java for arbitrary large types?

What's the latest status? Is it still limited to 63-bits of data plus 1 bit for nullability?

How is this different from SDL_Render? https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL3/CategoryRender

I hate how this ostentatious caring for Indians is used to push personal political goals. Want to help with global warming? Reduce your consumption. Stop driving, stop eating non-l…

Another good one is the visual editor of .werkkzeug3 used to make .kkrieger which serves as an alternative interface to the typical node based shader editor. https://media.demozoo.…

Yeah, but I am guessing one needs a bit more info on how this works together with GC. For example, once an arena goes out of scope, what happens to allocations made inside it that …

If any SBCL dev is here, please add documentation for how to use the memory arena feature. The only doc is an very old proposal document.

Mike Acton (author of this presentation) has released a LLM skill for Data Oriented Programming: https://github.com/macton/nagent/blob/main/context/data-orie...

This becomes particularly important when the allocation and metadata cannot (or should not) be stored in the same address space. An example of this is allocating memory on GPUs. Th…

Glibc is the opposite of backwards compatible. This thread I was a part of explains some issues faced in the past: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47029789

Unfortunately, Glibc and loader are linked together intrinsically in the Linux ecosystem. So, if you want to be able to launch a program reliably, shipping your own loader and libc…

> using arenas for arrays that grow wastes memory a lot since it keeps every previous version around Not if you use segmented arrays https://danielchasehooper.com/posts/segment_arr…

Was your argument not about replacing non-local languages like Sanskrit and Arabic (used exclusively for liturgical purposes in Tamil Nadu) with local languages like Tamil? If not,…

And if you want a perspective other than imperial apologists and colonial nostalgics, read https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32618967-an-era-of-darkn... and https://www.goodreads…

UPI has been adopted by eight countries and a few dozen are in progress [1]. Additionally, UPI has started to integrate with other nation's similar system (Singapore's PayNow [2] f…

SQLite did come from TCL everything-is-a-string world, so this attitude is not surprising. TCL makes for a very good shell language (much better than Bash or Batch), but a rigid sy…

I do wonder how it compares against Jolt. Both seem to have a good pedigree, one from Valve and Eric Catto, and another used in Horizon games.

I see, so would it would only be relevant to unions, or would adding a new node to a linked list or pushing another element in a dynamic array or setting a pointer to null also cou…

What is "stable shape"?

Clarity and predictability is more important than modernity when serving 1.5 billion diverse people.

The one big issue with Indian Government websites is that there is no single unified visual language, something that UX4G [1] is aiming to fix. Other than that, I agree; this reads…

Did you use some resource on how to layer immutability on top of B-trees? This is finicky enough that I don't feel comfortable YOLOing.
