Did you block their tracking across the whole damn internet, by any chance?

I typed "0" into the scaling field to see how it handled it, and couldn't recover from there...

You could also ask the question for "why do founders even bother with startups", and you'll get the exact same answer. It seems selfish that they then expect their employees to wor…

> I'm afraid this feature is at best a very minor improvement that hardly justifies migrating a whole compiler. Here are some performance numbers: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Zap…

> What value do you think something like zapcc brings that tools like ccache haven't been providing already? It avoid instantiating the same templates over and over in every transl…

C++ modules aren't influenced by macros on import, nor do they export any macros, so I'm curious what the problem is?

How can that be true? Inside the event horizon, there is only one direction: down. If light cannot escape, how can it happily bounce around, reflect on something, then reach your e…

Nice one... I seem to remember MSVC 5 having a switch that made all functions virtual - or am I confused with another compiler?

Same here. Three days of absolute hell. Even a single blue led was too much to bear. And like you I now need reading glasses, but I don't really care: I can see well enough in the …

If you'll inspect the names of the posters, you will quickly realize that it was not _my_ claim. I'm also not quite certain how a list of centuries-old atrocities serves as an 'evi…

It's your reality. _You_ choose to dwell on racial issues. _You_ dedicate your life to "correcting" people, and break in on discussions that have absolutely nothing to do with race…

Are there any human tribes around that haven't at one point or another experienced a negative event at the hands of others? What should we all be given, and more importantly by who…

And that makes it ok to commit warcrimes? Under that reasoning, which really only comes down to "because it is needed", anything is allowed. Including everything Israel does, becau…

That list is totally not cherry picked to serve a very specific agenda (/s). Actual safety for regular citizens is affected by events that are occurring today (instead of decades a…

Next the police will be knocking on your door, just to make sure you are not skipping ads in the newspaper. "M'am, that vase in front of your TV could be used to block ads. You are…

Yes, really. Windows supports 'delayed rendering' ( https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/dataxchg/cli... ), whereby an application can choose to not provide the data unt…

I, once again, disagree with the premise that UB is a necessary precondition for optimisation, or that it exists to allow for optimisation. You do not need UB to unroll a loop, inl…

AmigaOS only used D0 and D1 for non-ptr values, and A0 and A1 for pointer values. Everything else was spilled to the stack.

> I don't know why people are so against it in this field Because the vast majority of failing software just means inconvenience, rather than disaster.

Maybe that attitude works in a big company, but it won't fly in a smaller one. I'm a software engineer and I write plenty of code, but I also help out with interviews, packing, sal…

Yeah, that exists. It's called "not having oppressive tax rules".

Who would employ you, if nobody was motivated to start the salon?

Can't say that I really have one. Presumably there is some sort of hideous thing they are doing that would outrage me if I knew about it. I'll let you fill me in on that. I'm not a…

> You're essentially saying that no significantly different system can stably replace the current system, which is of course an ahistorical claim. I'd say most times it happened in…

I wonder if the order was to "destroy that specific satellite", or if this is merely a consequence of the overall reduction in the NASA budget. The first would be scandalous, the s…
