    Unless your code targets some exotic architecture, like idk x86.

    Yeah, totally, just one more year.

    Nobody would say „trujący wąż” (poisonous snake) or „jadowity grzyb” (venomous mushroom). The distinction is similar to English. There are exceptions and contexts where it can be u…

    Not really, we have both „jad” (venom) and „trucizna” (poison).

    The primary use case that I can see is following: you use your second phone — the communicator — to chat, while watching endless stream of tiktoks/reels/shorts on the first one.

    > In terms of CPU? The other way around. That depends on your architecture and access pattern. In case of sequential access, packed bools may perform better due to arithmetic being…

    In this case there is both time a distance limit to the gesture. If the gesture is too fast the switcher won’t appear even if the distance was long enough. That said, personally I’…

    It feels like a stretch to call this a parser. It’s looks like a typical lexer?

    Probably the compilation time is better than it would be with LLVM. On the other hand I doubt that codegen and therefore performance is on par with LLVM. Definitely a weird thing t…

    This is mostly an issue with MSVC which refuses to become compliant with c99 standard. Their support for c11 and c17 also has some gaps around features that were introduced in c99.…

    Most popular languages would prevent this. In this case it’s as simple as having more sensible reader API than sscanf in standard library and forcing variables to be initialized.

    To be honest the implementation looks surprisingly readable… at least compared to other horrors like the standard library implementation. While there are some new rules regarding a…

    It's explained under the first link from the article [0]: "A new type of interpreter has been added to CPython. It uses tail calls between small C functions that implement individu…

    Yup, they most likely do. After all everything is LLVM based nowadays.

    It seems to work similarly as in C, i.e. you call malloc manually, there is some form of automatic size deduction though: https://github.com/galileolajara/cp1/blob/main/examples/04…

    For Intel you can just look into sources: https://github.com/intel/intel-graphics-compiler ;) Also AMDGPU and NVPTX targets in LLVM might be interesting.

    Standard word which implies some level of analysis into causes of the incident. This brief note doesn’t live up to industry practice either.

    It's not. 0x8000 is the smallest (-32,768) integer that can be represented with 16-bits and two's complement.

    I see, thanks for clarification! I glanced though their website and expected a standard set of features including IMAP.

    Using intrinsics is much more sensible option than dropping to inline asm. Each CPU with SIMD or any kind of specialised instructions provides an intrinsics library for C.

    Interesting that CSV is supported but XML is missing. Is it finally dead?
