This is surprising for me, I thought LLVM abstracted away platform ABIs.

I believe it is a heuristic that looks at text length, element type and class name.

I hope Epic wins this. I would buy from Apple again if they would open their platforms. I think it's ridiculous that when I was working on an app, the app would expire after a week…

I think they just hit one megacommit, and the number they gave is how far away they are from one mebicommit.

Is it really though? Bing has been consistently worse than Google over the years. Maybe our definition of vendor lock-in needs to change. Honestly at this point it doesn't even mat…

This reminds me of a meetup I attended last fall, they were talking about the Spectre/Meltdown issues. I asked the presenters if anything in chip manufacturing/verification process…

I know the awesome meme seems overdone, but it's cool that you can search that one word and see curated lists of interesting/high quality projects.

What about giving them a high potential but making their actual salary a function of approval rating? In order to maximize how much you make you have to work to unify your constitu…

Just a minor annoyance except of course for those not rich enough to own two phones, but I suppose if you didn't want to be oppressed you should have thought of that before you dec…

And accordingly, I could give orders to their lawyers and their likelihood of doing what I say is about the same as the percentage of the company that I own.

Yeah we totally believe you, you just keep on digging your heels in on this one cause that's how you get people to take you seriously and think you're smart.

If you don't like what NYC is doing maybe you should lobby them? I'm sure they'd listen to you just as much as the current federal government would listen to NYC.

Yeah let's aim for less suicides than average. Jesus.

Ok imagine that you have a broken leg and the only painkillers we've invented are local, and when you take those another limb breaks just to spite you. That's where we are with thi…

The human rights violations that ICE commits should not be considered a political matter regardless of whether one party endorses them. Supporting those that enable atrocities is n…

I don't think optimizations count as magic. It'd be entirely unreasonable for a language to not do them and they don't change the meaning of the program, undefined behavior aside. …

It's very confusing, they start off saying C++ is too complicated and then go basically reinventing C++ with (IMO) absolutely awful syntax. I think they're missing the point of why…

I think I see what you mean. There's just so much we don't know at this point, and so many chemicals that we are exposed to even in small amounts, I could totally see some of these…

There are chemicals that can kill you with a couple milligrams or less. I would bet that Parkinson's and lots of other diseases involving the brain will eventually be found to be s…

I'm not an expert on any of this, medicine is just a hobby of mine. I don't think actual Parkinson's is caused by drug abuse though, I think it's a separate disease (or maybe more …

There is. Cocaine and most other hard stimulants cause lots of dopamine to be released in the brain. Generally when you have higher concentrations of a neurotransmitter than normal…
