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 (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…
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 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…
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…
If Teams is any indication, do you really think Loop is going to be much better?
He’s actually a person to whom I applied the “opposite” of the Gell Mann effect to. I first watched his videos on the stuff I did know something about to make sure he was covering the nuances before watching his other…
During the video, they quickly mentioned that the jack supports high-impedance headphones and later specifically mention that you can connect “high-fidelity” headphones. Skip to about 33:30 in the video. So while…
Fascinating. I have pulled the trigger on an M1 Max to replace my i9 MBP, and wasn’t hopeful for the GPU. But now I am VERY curious how well it will do at gaming using CrossOver Mac. I’d been eyeing a getting a 3080…
