This sounded to me like that old “would you steal a car?” anti-piracy campaign until I clicked to read the post :)
In the contrary it’s one of the best design decisions of the language. The rules for object safety are the same C++ applies to virtual functions. On the other hand you don’t have to choose a priori whether you’ll need…
Indeed, thanks :)
Unbelievably I read this news while visiting Cork. Went to Kinsale yesterday. Never been to Ireland before. What a coincidence!
I thought the US government had just decided that the cause of autism was vaccines </sarcasm>
Yes, C++26 reflection is nice, but also extremely complex to understand and use well. The rest of C++26 is the usual series of too-little-too-late additions. Meanwhile I’m still waiting for pattern matching to become a…
I understand the issue about the ever-moving target etc., but almost fifteen years later do you really believe C++98 is better than C++11 without move semantics and decent smart pointers? I remember working with Qt5 and…
What is a product? So you take two natural numbers `a` and `b`, and you want to sum `a` for `b` times, or vice versa. Then things become complicated if you want to do that quickly...
I was about to start arguing why I don't agree but then I thought it was better not to :P
Yes, but logic gates with constant fan-in, crucially, otherwise that's called AC.
That's true for two `rectangle` paths, but for two nodes that's what I would expect as a user. Anyway, not an easy problem for sure.
I've tried it now a little. The UI looks very cool, and generally the project is cool so congrats! However, the generated TikZ code is not good in my opinion. Everything uses absolute coordinates, which in TikZ is…
Indeed! Not scientifically controversial at all, but politically controversial, unfortunately.
We all should feel sad and angry. That said, this was never about saving money. This is about keeping scientists under tight control by the government, in order to suppress research on climate change and other…
Afaik std::span does not need anything that was not in C++98 already, or am I missing something?
> It seems that some people are really losing the taste for good readable code. It seems that some people never had taste for good reliable code. Use `void ` and now any error whatsoever is a direct undefined behavior.…
Too bad HN nicknames cannot be put for sale :)
So LLMs are destroying the economy and the environment but at least “catastrophic risk” is still low. Ok then…
Off topic, but I sincerely ask: am I the only one that is disturbed by the use of the term "Mac OS X" to refer to modern versions of the OS that is currently called "macOS"? (and not MacOS either) I mean, the name was…
Is it really worth? YMMV, but yes if you ask me.
For reasons, I used to go to Rome quite frequently in the 2010s, and the construction of Metro C was already a meme. But now some of the stations are quite interesting indeed.
Thanks! The arXiv submission says the paper is submitted to SAT26, did it get accepted?
Positively surprised to see stuff like these on HN first page! If any author is around, do you have an implementation that can be compared with CUDD and similar BDD libraries?
I know about reproductive pressure and I’ve read The Selfish Gene. What you say is correct but does not explain that “if evolution did not, better not do it” attitude of the original comment, which I think is wrong for…
The problem is implying that “if evolution did not do it there must be a reason”, because 1) it makes evolution look like an engineer evaluating trade offs, which is not and 2) it considers the current state of affairs…
