Wikipedia has a table for how many papers each project produced: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_Open_Infrastructure_f... According to this, Rosetta@home (which is like Fold…

Does that in multiple places. Maybe they wanted a way to quickly revert it? Or enable on countries where they think they can get away with it?

iirc pthread uses the same ABI under the hood, only its compiled into the libc

100% period.

Would it be possible for someone within a compatible jurisdiction to mirror SQLite3 and provide it under some license such that it could be used by anyone?

But to know via scientific method requires proof (or disproof) by experimentation

Fair enough. But it is needed to point out that there's a catch in that in order to use dynamic dispatch (subclasses, interfaces, ...) you'd still need to use pointers in C++. Deep…

If you aren't using OOP features (such as inheritance), you're not really doing OOP, despite using C++. In the case of C++ I'd put something like: you can use free or costly abstra…

(As with OO) depends heavily on implementation, but my 2 cents is that functional doesn't apply as much constraints to optimization. If a compiler is sophisticated enough a functio…
