What a mess. We should just return to catholic monarchy or at very least restrict voting to a trusted nobility. Democracy is really just a euphemism for rule by the media, and the …

What does the pizza emoji at the end of the article mean?

No, he explicitly states that women roughly have same average iq as men and are equally competent and capable to do engineering work. OTOH personality traits aren’t distributed equ…

Damore never claimed women were intrinsically less inclined to engineering. He cited the big five personality trait model as evidence for why engineering culture is not welcoming t…

You have to keep saying it because you haven’t explained why referencing suckless has any bearing on whether the project will support CJK. In particular you have no basis for this …

Are you serious? Of course the question comes with the reasonable assumption that the proper declaration has been made especially since it’s a well known standard function. Additio…

It was baseless. You had no evidence CJK will not be supported. It was just a baseless condemnation of the project because the readme referenced suckless.

> The underlying intent may well be that, but it is couched in both ignorance and callous disregard for others. Nope, that’s just your projection. You’re callously disregarding him…

Good faith is just as much about assuming good intent as it is about assuming genuineness. All of those statements are a far cry from “fuck everyone else.” The underlying intent co…

There actually was a point. His point is that, while it might seem counterintuitive, allowing suppliers to price with demand may improve the situation for the majority of people, e…

Sounds like you’re just having an emotional reaction instead of engaging his point in good faith. If you’re so empathetic, maybe you should remember that the person who made that p…

I agree but he said the types needed to be corrected. As far as I know the types were already correct.

The parent was definitely talking about the applicability of using assembly in the context of this project. Vectorization is irrelevant here.

What observable difference is there between malloc(0) and malloc((size_t)0)?

Program bloat is not due to poor compiler optimization. It’s due to runtime size and a lack of effort to make runtimes smaller. In particular the c runtime.

False or vacuously true

All of the performance wins you’re referencing come from vectorization, you typically can’t vectorize OS code since it isn’t ALU bound, which makes your point moot.

Is memset(malloc(0), 0, 0) undefined behavior?

That’s not true. Many people write code on Mac despite kernel extensions being disabled and SIP. What will be considered root will be a superficial emulation convincing enough to f…

Get ready to not have root access on your laptop. The writing is on the wall: * signed software restrictions * no kernel extensions * SIP Dropping x86 compatibility will be the las…

Yeah that’s a very good point. There may be multiple reasons but a performance reason of which I’m aware is downward stacks are more efficient for allocating aligned memory: sp = (…

It’s sad to live in a world where people are naive enough to assume that doing the right thing without incentive is commonplace. You must be great to negotiate with.
