    Precisely. ISO C and C++ have a notion of various implementation limits, one of which is nested function calls due to exhausting the stack. TCO could be about a carveout on this li…

    Yes and no. The Linux kernel barely interacts with the C calling convention ABI (vDSO), and you can interact with the OS without going through a C library. I guess the layout of so…

    Neither of the ISO C and ISO C++ standards define an ABI.

    The difference is notability, which is the criteria used whether a distinct Wikipedia article is warranted. There are multiple cited sources that use the "Noble disease" term, ther…

    I would assign (3) to language runtimes and calling conventions rather than operating systems.

    I recently learned that there is a business doing exactly that: https://iode.tech/ I don't think it's high volume, I think this is done by some of the microg folks. But OEMs probab…

    The spiral rule makes no sense, I never got why it got popular.

    I'm not sure that video would have been easier to postprocess. At what fps and shutter speed?

    Turns out some popular projects are popular for a reason. It is IMO cool, even if it's not novel.

    Maybe integrate with Stellarium to use as a sky box and lighting.

    I have the impression that creating monotonic floating point function is particularly hard. At least I know that std::lerp is designed to be monotonic in its t parameter (not even …

    This is insane. I guess this is because of economic incentives, and expert witnesses risk losing work coming from prosecutors if they ever testify against them?

    I have the opposite experience, in particular with bluetooth audio. YMMV

    Fil-C is basically an alternate ABI and libc runtime. Otherwise it is not tied to C and I see no reason it couldn't be targeted by Rust or Zig.

    A similar opaque pointer pattern with member functions is possible to do with inheritance.

    English is not my first language, but to me the construct "to urge not to do something" in the title feels off. I think I only saw it without the negative, with some implied urgenc…

    Abolish copyright then. The selective enforcement needs to stop.

    And can these avid readers publish these recited passages without infringing copyright?

    This is probably Windows pulling LG software through Windows Update bases in EDID. Linux won't ever do this BS.

    And all the train depots and train stations are already covered in solar panels, I presume.

    This first became apparent to me when I got a slide rule. Pi is often marked on the various scales and an x^2 scale is often nearby the x scale.
