Swift actually does this copy-on-mutation strategy as well for its standard library’s container types like Array and Dictionary, and it does indeed make multithreaded programming much easier without requiring full…
If I understood all the semantic properties, including the separate compilation requirements, correctly, here’s how I think it would be done in Swift with the proposed nonescapable types features (needed to safely…
The AI safety people should be ashamed that their legitimate views cannot be easily told apart from the sarcasm of the GP.
The embedded copy of Clang is doing some heavy work I think. At no point does any of the C or C++ code get transformed into Swift. Instead, it's used to import the the header directly into Swift (in a manner similar to…
I think this whole thread has an interesting contrast to a prior HN thread about Alcohol being unsafe at any level of consumptions and which is rated as a Group 1 carcinogen by the WHO, a much stronger designation than…
This was the social network that was supposed to support ActivityPub, right? So… maybe logged out support will be good? I’m still not holding my breath though.
This (Group 2B) is the same list that includes mobile phone radiation. I think I’ll take my chances.
Honestly, sometimes I question how much this site is really “hackers”. I downloaded the SDK and gave it a try. It was pretty seamless to get the sim booted up. However I did have trouble getting any of my hobby apps to…
Alchemy ultimately did work out. We eventually did figure out how to transmute elements.

Basically. I think Elon is a blowhard idiot who succeeds despite himself and have thought so since 2017. But I purchased my Model 3 in 2021 because, after cross-shopping many car models and trying to optimize for the…
As a long time Mac user, I had long been used to people saying things along the lines of “I tolerate their hardware to use macOS” especially re: the terrible laptop designs. Now with the release of the AS machines, I…
The modding communities for Bethesda games rely heavily on code injection, especially the script extender plugins that are central to the entire enterprise.
This is a really bad take. Heat pumps can have coefficients of performance (joules of cooling provided over joules of energy consumed) between 2.5-5 (going down as outside temperatures drop). In most situations, it’s…
Bjarne Stroustrup’s classic quote “There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses” certainly applies here.
I didn’t think NetBeans supported C++ anymore?
Of course disconnecting Russia from the internet isn’t on the table, but if they did, perhaps a silver lining is that the cybersecurity situation could be greatly improved.
Indeed. Is this the fate that Russia is facing, or are the sanction not enough for this to happen?
I can’t believe I had to come down this far to see the Law of Headlines. C++ isn’t going anywhere for a long time. For all of its technical and design faults and overbearing complexity, its (yes, deceptive)…
Perhaps syntactically C++‘s operator overloading can make it quite palatable, but C and C++’s unique aliasing rules would mean that a naive implementation could leave performance on the table. There’s a reason it’s…
I only have limited experience, but I’ve seen projects migrate from Ada to C++ more often than the other way around. If I had to guess why, it’s probably because it’s easier to hire for.
I have increasingly noticed this general trend (here, on Reddit, and elsewhere) to just blame a myriad of societal ills on “Capitalism”. Sometimes it’s related to economics or whatever, but more often it’s really a…
Swift? (minus the ability to specify co/contra-variance)
Pithy, but I’d actually argue the opposite. As someone who consumes quite a bit of science content on YouTube, it’s actually quite jarring to go back to traditional TV science shows. It feels a lot less information…
I think any argument against the possibility of developing AGI is going to have it. The argument has to be either: 1) there’s something non-material about human intelligence (basically, there’s a soul), or 2) something…
