TIL, thanks for updating me on this! I read Herb Sutter’s post many years ago, but didn’t know they had picked up the work again. I see that VLAs are still not supported, which is …

MSVC stands for MicroSoft Visual C++ compiler AFAIK. It famously doesn’t support a few features of C99. They don’t really seem to care much about regular C support (non-C++).

What is your point? There are thousands of such companies in Germany, called Energy-Intensive Industries. Think chemicals, mining, materials, paper pulp, glass, ceramics etc. Stats…

Farmed salmon meat is pink, whereas wild salmon meat is white/greyish. A dull color. They don’t put the coloring in the food to emulate natural food sources. They do it because it …

FWIW, Norway is not a member of the EU - if that is what you are implying. If that is not your point, I apologize, but then I don’t see the connection (maybe you could elaborate?)

I don’t disagree, but I think this is a matter of taste: i.e. which aspect you’d consider more important. You can create DSLs without macros, for example by parsing and interpretin…

I’m sorry, I don’t understand what you mean. Self-aware with regards to what? Can you please elaborate?

Generally, it enables type-safe, ahead-of-time compiled code to perform work at compile time that would require runtime execution in many other languages

I don’t think any woman who seeks an abortion, is unaware that it will kill the foetus. Having to listen to the heartbeat seems performative IMO. The heartbeat develops in weeks 5-…

I completely agree with that

The Linux kernel is generally much larger than OpenBSD which is quite minimal. But I do agree with you - not directly related to activity.

Snide remarks, both of you :) My point was not that Meta has the best AI researchers/engineers. My point was it should not matter if Zuck is a PHP developer or whatever, instead of…

> Transistors form an efficient, single element, universal digital basis But transistors can be N or P-channel, so it’s not a single logical primitive, like e.g. NAND-gates.

The Panama and Suez Canals charge fees because they are artificial passageways, created by the blood and sweat of thousands. Both were huge investments. The Panama Canal had cost 4…

My experience is that most of these are slipups, completely unintended, and that a kind reminder is actually appreciated. Cutomers are mid-sized companies (60-600 employees, give o…

Yeah I know, but still.. IMO it doesn’t exactly smell like roses :D I think you have to be Swedish or have grown up eating such stuff to think otherwise.

> I think organisms also come with a partial built in understanding of nature at birth I agree. Most organisms are quite pre-trained: they have “instincts” and natural behaviors. E…

Z3 is capable (it’s an SMT solver, not just SAT), but it’s not very fast at boolean satifiability and not at all competitive with modern SOTA SAT solvers. Try comparing it to Chaff…

Interesting point! Is this an Americanism? I’m from northern Europe. I might use the micro to heat up leftovers or a cup of water for tea or whatever in a pinch, but in this househ…
