I sure don't miss the footguns and raw boilerplate that is having a copy constructor, move constructor, copy assignment operator, move assignment operator, and destructor, per clas…

The internet is an amazing place.

"Whoever creates this stuff has no idea what pain is whatsoever." I think it's clear that he is specifically responding to the the overall soullessness of the technique - to animat…

"Well, we would like to build a machine that can draw pictures like humans do" "Would you?" "Yes" Awkward silence From this I don't think it's difficult to extrapolate his feelings…

Guilty as charged. I don't think the leap was far but there was certainly a logical leap. Thanks for pointing that out.

Not to mention, 99^6 = 941,480,149,401 ≠ 99,000,000 (which TFA also quotes). But who's to say notation didn't degrade along with the rest of society? :^)

I hear you man. The fact that a `byte` in ROS's bootleg protobuf is actually signed, and `string` is ASCII-only means that if you want to send a file or binary blob you have to use…

It's fantastic when embedding Lua in a self contained executable too! I have a routine that goes through and 'cdef's certain headers that were also #included at compile time. Super…

It doesn't run the preprocessor, so you have to expose constants as externs, for example. Things like `int32_t` still work, so it must just have built in support for standard types…

I swear that IKEA filter writeup was on HN once upon a time. That or someone else's thorough analysis of the exact same appliance!

Utah's BAC limit is (infamously?) 0.05. A single drink will put you over, or so the rumors go.

As a fairly avid Rust user I can say I'm excited to hear that! Just playing a little devil's advocate for fun. That said I was moderately upset by this Friday after carefully assem…

Let 0 correspond to zero, and 1 corresponded to Rayo's number. Crisis averted!

For some reason I dkubt it

One might say Electron's algorithmic constant is quite large..

Agreed. I find that "smart objects" are much more difficult to make cohesive with one another. Punting your "smart" logic to a higher level is easier to understand, test, and chang…

Sounds amazing! Did you implement congestion control per connection, and if so, which algorithms did you use? I can imagine that CC could really affect throughput at this scale.

If the probe was single ended (e.g. not a differential probe or handheld unit), you may have shorted something to ground without realizing it. Was a long time before I figured that…

That's a good one. I've been trying to find a source for: "If you try to write your own TCP, you'll end up with TCP, but slow." Cannot for the life of me figure out where I read th…

I did not expect to find a fellow machine girl enjoyer today! MG is all about the samples and the breakbeats. Definitely not the chords, haha. But I do wonder how that factors in t…

Holy cow. I never considered this! I guess it would also explain why the games I would write in 2011 on a netbook ran so smoothly on every other computer I tested them on, despite …

Anyway, I lol'd hard at "written by the devil." Thanks for the article.

As far as configure is concerned, I'd like to add that 16394 is close to 2^14, not 2^16.
