Complex numbers, for example. Also, C preprocessor expands macros differently on MSVC.

I hope it would work with wine. Then cross compiling Win64 binaries from Linux would become convenient without requiring spinning up a Windows VM.

Rust compiler can be easily bootstrapped.

It is not 4 times, it is 16 times. Your 1TB storages would become 64GB.

The antivirus program forced to be installed by my company does not allow .odin file to exist, as there is a ransomware which encrypts files into *.odin. Of course, git cloning the…

To be fair, MSVC has the most C99 stuffs. What is mainly missing for porting (my) programs is the native complex number. But we have Intel compiler for free on Windows, which is fu…

It is a pitty that - GCC switched from C to C++ - CUDA switched from C to C++ But I can understand the decision, and at that time , C++ frontend features and libs were a little bit…

Agree that decisions/designs are important. However, not everything can be well designed at the beginning. Skills of editing will affect efficiency, especially in a try-and-error l…

Unfortunately, the rendering of fakebold (especially if the factor is not 2) depends on PDF readers and printers. Some PDF programs handle it well, some fix the factor at 2, some d…

Well, these are not the hardcore math, they are just puzzles and games.

I would bet/hope that I can live longer than most IT companies.

I thought it was something like LPMud or MudOS [0]. [0] https://mud.fandom.com/wiki/MudOS

The requirements and constraints depend on the product. For example, the geometry of your product to accommodate the antenna is not always the same; the (internal and external) env…

I totally agree. Just using a POSIX shell to concatenate header/footer and include the required CSS file, a simple static blog generator can be easily made. (That is what I did wit…

Another issue is cross-compiling. External code generation requires (cross) execution of the (cross) compiled binary program.

Also fast to compile!

I'd like to see the feature of preventing the OS from sleeping before downloading has been finished.

The function declaration in the header file of the library can carry the required 'restrict'. It works for c++ invokers too, as most c++ compilers also support and check the __rest…

I am using Conda to build binary modules for different Python versions. As user of the modules, venv is sufficient.

Yes! I use mutt for searching, tagging, thread operations (splitting,appending etc.), bouncing, attaching other mails, deleting attachments, openpgp (personal), smime (at work), an…

One typical scenario is to embed a CSV (or whatever it is called) into another one.

This looks like just a little bit advanced trivial optimizations for reducing size of high gain antennae. Usually I expect to find such articles in IEEE Transactions on Antennas an…

When Haskell was a hot topic around two decades ago, ML was also quite often discussed. Today ML almost only means machine learning

Sioyek has nice features, however, it was quite buggy. Fixing bugs and writing tests may take a lot of efforts.
