    Have you tried looking into something like NASM's macro functionality?

    It often refers to programmers that develop things that other programmers use to construct applications. A systems programmer may work on compilers, operating systems, framework li…

    In Norse mythology, Heimdallr was born of nine sisters. I'm not sure that it took any less time than usual, but I enjoy the story all the same. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine_M…

    It's possible that we are talking at cross purposes. I think you might be arguing that the object itself does not include the set of functions/methods/operations that act on it, wh…

    I would still classify that as object oriented behavior. You have a class/type of objects, and you have a set of functions or operations which are associated with (loosely or tight…

    It's not a requirement, but an immutable object has fewer uses than a mutable one. Functions/methods/actions/operations are just different names for the operations which mutate the…

    In my experience, LLMs tend to perform better if you give them instructions before the data to be operated on. At least for the ~13b size models. So,something like: Please count th…

    It seems that you may be correct. At the very least I am unable to construct a counter-example so I concede this point

    The undefined behavior can still affect code generation even though the program gets translated. It's just that the generated code may not do exactly what you expect it to do becau…

    Comment #33772842

    The compiler may make optimization decisions based on the presence of UB so the code only needs to be present. The compiler can't know that an arbitrary part of a function is unrea…

    To be clear. I think that both connectors have their own problems. Just because I've not had the center nub break in any of my USB-C devices that doesn't mean it's not a problem fo…

    USB-C has the springs in the plug while the receptacle is only fixed contacts. Lightning on the other hand has the springs inside the receptacle. This means that for USB-C you repl…

    And Super Hexagon is an excellent game (with a great soundtrack) https://superhexagon.com/

    It is slightly unfair to say there's barely an ecosystem. If all you've seen is Reykjanes between Keflavík and Reykjavík then sure it might look like a bleak, moss covered, rocky d…

    Part of it is whether the code can be traced back to original AT&T code. Which would be true for e.g. BSD variants (which includes MacOS). https://i.redd.it/kgv4ckmz3zb51.jpg Anoth…

    You might be interested in these articles if you want to experiment with alternative approaches to the intrusive linked-list and are OK with using object pools. Very handy if you w…

    You're probably thinking of the initial handshake bit rather than what the middle of the data stream sounded like. https://www.windytan.com/2012/11/the-sound-of-dialup-picture...

    It can be useful to break the game in subtle ways so that the crackers have a harder time knowing when the crack is fully done. https://www.nag.co.za/2013/10/23/the-5-biggest-and-m…

    Have you tried increasing the log-level in /etc/systemd/system.conf? You can also set LogTarget=kmsg if you have issues with the journal. You can also control this with the kernel …
