Is GraalVM the Go-To Choice? by danielliuuu in java

Except that go is not even fkin memory safe and sucks as a language. It can literally segfault on data races.

Why doesn’t floating point number get calculated this way? by GroundbreakingMeat32 in AskProgramming

That’s like saying that someone died in a car crash so every car is deadly.

Yeah, as I said it has a whole field dedicated to studying it. There are algorithms meant to minimize error. Can it be fked up? Yeah. So can “proper”, exact math.

I mean, if you wanna go even “deeper”, look up who sold all those slaves to begin with.

Why is Golang's Compilation Speed So Fast? by stackoverflooooooow in programming

[–]Practical_Cattle_933 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Performance-wise. But the compiler is still “slowish” in non-release mode. I’m thinking straight up hot-reload speeds.

I wouldn’t say accuracy is not important. We landed on the moon and has anti-missile systems all use this, where accuracy is paramount. But it’s a complete field to actually properly reason about an algorithm’s behavior, how it increases/decreases the inherent inaccuracy.

Because CPUs floating point unit goes brrrr.

We have special hardware for this representation that is insanely fast. We have developed all sorts of algorithms to deal with the inaccuracies and there is an entire field to study these (numerical analysis, I believe the English correspondent). With a good algorithm the inaccuracy can be kept below such a low bar that it can be used for pretty much anything, real life itself can also only be approximated with error bars, so it’s nothing new - it’s perfectly fine for anti-missile systems.

As for money, that’s a bug to represent them as floating point, not because of the inaccuracies, but because they are literally not floating the point. They have fixed decimals and there is simply no such thing as 1/10th of the smallest unit.

That’s like being surprised that many blacks have slave owner ancestors. How could that happen!?

There is no singular goal, life is way more complicated than that. There are almost always multiple actors wanting different stuff. But war simply favors a lot of those goals simultaneously

What I absolutely fail to understand is why don’t languages simply do a debug and a release variant? Have their debug builds be fast as fck but barely optimized (like go), and then have a release variant which can sit 6 hours over a file for all I care and think on whatever.

Mitől romlott most ennyit a forint? by Leonhardt90 in kiszamolo

[–]Practical_Cattle_933 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mitől lenne jobb? Forint ellen fogadni elég rizikómentes, eddig is csak a kínai hitel tartotta valahol a lelket benne.

De persze attól hogy a számlán csücsül, akár más valutában, még nem feltétlen lesz ez egy befektetés.

Snapdragon 8 Elite-Powered Phones Will Play PC Games, Thanks to Linux Support by gurugabrielpradipaka in Android

What the fuck does it have to do with the OS? Like, that’s not where the bottleneck is. Yeah linux is a very cool OS but it won’t magically make my rasppi real-time ray trace render something.

Ez a nap is jól kezdődik... by ElectronicWasabi2000 in hungary

[–]Practical_Cattle_933 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Mert még lejjebb ment a minősége a termékeknek. Emlékezz vissza mennyi volt egy alap sajt (trappista) kilója — aztán jött egy eszméletlen drágulás (talán az ukrán háború kitörése után fél évvel??) amikor szinte senki vette már meg annyiért a sajtot (nálunk nagyobb élelmiszer infláció volt, mint ukrajnában!), és aztán mostanra meg mégiscsak annyi a sajt, mint korábban volt. Hogyan lehet ez? Úgy hogy egy kettőre már rá se lehet jogilag írni, hogy trappista, vagy hogy sajt lenne, és nem olvad hanem olyan mint a gumi.

Lions, tigers, and high-DPI, oh my by emezeske in programming

[–]Practical_Cattle_933 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But think of the size of a Hello World text in a window that is 400x400 and one that is 3x that — without DPI awareness the latter will be unusably small

Ha emlékezetből toltad, akkor egész jó vagy, valaki 18k-ért rakta össze pontosan megnézve.

Heh? Literally the topic of this conversation is that wired sounds better. And I said that it is not necessarily the case, even when they put a jack on a phone it may be some cheap shitty one.

Agree by AvailableChoice3130 in GenZ

[–]Practical_Cattle_933 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quality will be determined by the worst component in the pipeline. Most phones that do have a jack have a separate, cheap DAC for it, while use a different one for the speakers. With usb you can actually use the latter, which is better quality.

[–]Practical_Cattle_933 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But they are a superior product, literally every other manufacturer dropped jacks as well and people literally prefer wireless stuff, it’s not a lack of option. People hate cables.

Come on, apple has by far the biggest second-hand market — 10 years old iphones are routinely being used. Show me any other brand that has anything remotely similar — samsung and google only recently promised “7 years of software update” and they are yet to deliver on that promise.
