I thought that this was a GCC extension(you need to use #define n 10 instead of int n = 10). Is this not the case anymore?

On box mods(the big vapes you might recall starting to see 10-15 years ago) there is a chamber up top you have to manually fill with nicotine. This can be a bit annoying to do but …

This is all well and good, but just because something came from before doesn’t mean it was a good idea then, or especially now. You’re basically citing survivorship bias. Of course…

> 1998 - 2009 was a tough time to be a Windows user Is that true? I was too young to really have an opinion but to me most people cite XP and especially Windows 7(ignoring Vista wh…

Just because we are natives of this universe does not mean its behavior or characteristics will be naturally sensible to us. There is no “real” reason it should be something “simpl…

I really cannot until this business model FAANG has come up with in the past 20 years where they are somehow owed money by developers for creating services and products for a platf…

I imagine you got that code snippet(or a similar example) from somewhere but to me the fairly obvious problem is the chafing between the C and C++ world. %s is for C style strings …

And that’s just for your first recursive descent compiler. One thing to remember is that you will also one day want extended functionality in your language and either implement C F…

IMO compilers make you a lot more mature in recursive algorithms and trees, and then after that much more conscious about what exactly the code you write resolves to in terms of th…

Intel is coming out with an improved x86 instruction set that removes a lot of the cruft, called ‘APX’ for advanced performance extensions.

They have been sending out new rules every few years. You just haven’t paid attention. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

I’m wrong. Fourth paragraph from the bottom, last sentence they say “normal resource limits.” I thought that meant “the limit of something called normal resources” not the normal a…

Programs are tightly coupled to textual representations because a compiler is a textual representation transformer. If you deviate from the accepted textual form then the compiler …

Is option 3 exactly what you’re supposed to do? Freezing your dependency graph and/or explicitly denoting what version of the dependency you want are your best bets for avoiding pr…

Seems to be “normal resources”, where normal probably meant file descriptor based.

I can guarantee you a blog post detailing how to do this would go triple platinum

If you are experienced then I’d say skim whatever sounds interesting from chapters 1-3, then do chapters 4/5 as they contain most of the interesting stuff.

10 years ago was 2014. What python code are you talking about? Deprecated, sure, and some things have been taken out of the standard distribution because nobody would maintain it(o…

I wouldn’t say they explicitly mention ASan, but in general you will see certain well known C++ developers/community members insist that with a set of sanitizers you won’t have to …

I worded that part poorly, and did not bring up what really bothers me about it, that he tried to deny that there was a genocide in Cambodia. I agree with what you said. The idea t…

Intellectual giant whose shadow will be cast deep into the future. I don't need to review any of his work wrt to CS or linguistics to tell you that his legacy will be massive. I th…

>perhaps less useful neither-ranked-nor-keyed access, wherein the trees are kind of a double-ended queue with just "edge access" For normal btrees this is absolutely true. For b+tr…

I’d recommend learning a lot more. For example, Phillip was actually an innovator in siege equipment and was the first person in Greece to really take towns by besieging them. You …
