How would you make a mistake? The only time signed vs unsigned matters is for comparisons and mul/div, and those have explicit names so you're never surprised that 0xFFFFFFFF is less than 0 when doing signed_less_than().
Bread takes hours to make and lasts for one day. So unless you wanna wake up at 3 am (or have a dedicated stay-at-home person making bread every day) it's not really a realistic option for many people.
Signed and unsigned should both go, there should only be wordN types (word8, word16, etc) with two's complement semantics. Then you can have explicit functions for the operation you want: signed_mul(),…
I asked for actual concrete evidence, not "can be used". Is there an example of a program that was crap, implemented telemetry and then got better afterwards? (and of course controlled for factors that might have…
Any evidence that telemetry actually works? (i.e makes the program better)
It's probably a case of me not knowing what I don't know, but I've never understood what the big deal with 'observation' is in QM. I dabble a lot in electronics and I'm painfully aware of how measurements affect a…
I don't see a way around that - Organs are inherently rare because of their size, cost, locations and maintenance requirements. Unless someone finds a way of scaling up production and/or reducing the cost, you're not…
No it is not reserved, it's just posix's personal style guides. There's just as much of a name clash possibility when not using _t because lots of other libraries and platforms uses some other convention. Only ISO C can…
The sad part is that this setup is probably slower and laggier running on top end machines of today than turbo c running on the actual legacy hardware back in the day.
Does zig plan on not supporting microcontrollers or not using "/" for integer division? Because on your typical arm mcu, x/y is a function call to a definitively non-constant time function. And lets not forget soft-fp.…
>There is no language called "C/C++". Yes there is. Take the union of C and C++ which is valid syntax (and same semantics) in both languages, voila; C/C++.
strlen() returns a size_t so you're already constrained to a maximum length of SIZE_MAX.
Re #3: A big downside is that you you can't easily take ownership of an existing buffer and treat it as this string type. string s; char some_buf[]; string_take(&s, some_buf, some_capacity); Also you would of course…
It's reserved in the same sense that google's style guide 'reserves' struct names starting with a capital letter. Only ISO C can officially reserve names, everyone else just has their personal code/naming style that you…

Well not even Windows can manage to sleep a 'modern standby' laptop reliably these days. I had to set hibernate on lid-close because Windows kept waking it up all the time even while closed.
Nope, not even formal proofs can save you, see WPA2/KRACK. Using proofs just shifts the bugs into the assumptions/axioms (i.e you think your proof is proving X but it's actually proving Y)
>equivalent windfarm (at $1.3M/MW) Does that include storage costs? Because a windfarm alone cannot replace a nuclear power plant no matter how cheaper or how much electricity the windturbines generate because on days…

>If LLVM were written in Rust it would have function level parallel compilation already No one is stopping anyone from writing a compiler backend/optimizer in rust, yet it hasn't happened.
A real terminal or a fake one drawn ontop of a gui emulating deacades old cruft? Complete madness and inefficiency.
You don't know what the function called "add" does either. There's no reason for the name "+" to be anymore special than "add" - especially in any language supporting unicode identifiers which allows even more crazy…
No, nothing breaks with unsigned integers. Modular arithmetic makes it work. Try a few examples close to UINT_MAX if you want to convince yourself.
Why do so many people use the head==tail as full condition? You can use the entire buffer and not waste one slot by doing: push: buf[writeidx % bufsize] = x; writeidx++; pop: x = buf[readidx % bufsize]; readidx++;…
rust doesn't offer much value for embedded (mcu, bare metal, tiny stuff) imo. No allocation = no leaks, no use after free, no dangling pointers. No multi core = no atomics or concurrency to worry about. Ring buffers…
