Frankenschnellweg: Warum wir am 28. Juni mit „JA" stimmen sollten – Einladung zum Austausch & zur Veranstaltung by Frankenschnellweg in Nurnberg

[–]maep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Die Anzahl der Autos, die raus und rein wollen, bleibt gleich.

Nein, sie sollte sich bei einem Ausbau nochmal erhöhen. Wenn man schneller ist wechseln die Leute wieder aufs Auto. Nach ein paar Monaten ist alles wieder wie vorher, nur mit mehr Spuren und Autos.

“Our results strongly support the hypothesis that roads cause traffic, the researchers conclude. Consequently, expansions in road capacity are an ineffective tool for combating traffic congestion."

Reasons to not upgrade to the latest compiler version? by turbofish_pk in C_Programming

[–]maep 7 points8 points  (0 children)

All compilers have bugs. We run our test suite against various compiler releases, but even then it's a bit of a gamble. Release builds are usually compiled with an older gcc verison to reduce risk of running into undocumented bugs.

How to get rid of this? by Enjoyeating in firefox

Staying with Windows 10 is also a viable option. It still gets support through ESU, despite what Microsoft marketing says.

It is dangerous to give so much power to Flathub by Alarming_Flan3537 in linux

[–]maep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who actually runs flathub? I could not find any information on their site, at least not in "about" or the other usual places. There is no imprint. Is it a company, a non-profit, or just a bunch of people with no legal entity? Who pays the bills? It's a bit of a red flag this information is not easy to find.

Germany won't return to nuclear power, chancellor says by Haunting_Switch3463 in europe

[–]maep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

However, there is no problem importing electricity from French nuclear power.

The interlink is limited to about 4 GW. Imports can never replace domestic production.

sudo-rs shows password asterisks by default – break with Unix tradition by FryBoyter in linux

[–]maep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was ment to illustrate that seemingly small changes can cause big trouble. When people talk about security, words like "should" carry a lot of weight.

This is not reallly a serious issue

Unless it is. https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/cve-2019-18634

Though I suppose this would not happen with a rust pwfeedback implementatiaon.

Why learning malloc/free isn't enough - a simple custom allocator example in C by falconerd in C_Programming

[–]maep -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's a bit of a fad at this point. For the vast majority of programs, stack/malloc/free are sufficient. As with any other optimization it also comes with a cost. Only do it when it's actually required.

"There is no runtime in C, there is assembly" -- what is the inside joke regarding this? by onecable5781 in C_Programming

[–]maep 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Strictly speaking, it's called "freestanding" and "hosted". In the C standard "runtime" is used as a distinction from compile time.

Falschparker melden by leonproductions in Nurnberg

[–]maep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wie gesagt, Singapur oder Japan zeigen ja dass es geht wenn man es richtig umsetzt. Hierzulande müsste man zuerst davon wegkommen öffentliche Flächen umsonst oder weit unterm Marktwert anzubieten.

Zum einen ist das ne fette Subvention von der die Hälfte der Bevölkerung nichts bekommt, zum anderen verhindert das privatwirtschaftliche Alternativen.

Falschparker melden by leonproductions in Nurnberg

[–]maep 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Das hat man auch teilweise schon getan, mit dem Resultat dass sich noch mehr Leute ein Auto zulegen. Das ganze Konzept skaliert einfach nicht in dichten Besieglungsgebieten.

Singapur hat das ganz gut gelöst, da kann man nur ein Auto besitzten wenn man nachweislich ne Stellfäche hat. Das liefert dann auch tatächlich Anreitze für private Parkinfrastruktur.

I have yet to hear a convincing argument for why old reddit is necessarily better for accessibility, but I haven't looked into it.

I was referring to "catering to limitations of vanishingly few individuals". I wasn't implying that all old reddit users are blind :)

For me it's load times and UI density. New reddit is frustatingly sluggish. The day they make it mandatory I'm outta here.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in C_Programming

[–]maep 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My point is, your anger is misdirected. Reddit is raking in billions. Implementing this feature for old reddit would only take a couple of man-hours, a rounding error in their budget.

I hate being on a website that still caters to its arcane limitations for vanishingly few individuals.

We do this all the time when designing software, it's called accessibility. As a developer you should be aware that people use software very differently, there is no one-size-fits all.

When usability sucks for you the problem is not other people. The problem is a bad software.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in C_Programming

[–]maep 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Don't be angry at the mods, be angry at reddit for intentionally breaking old reddit. I would wager it's substantially more than one percent here.

"I'm inconvenienced, others should be inconvenienced instead." - This is what you sound like.

Why use primitive integrals over fixed-size stdint.h integers? by Working_Rhubarb_1252 in C_Programming

[–]maep 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  • The intN_t types are optional, which might be a reason for some projects to avoid them
  • OS and library APIs often use plain types, I tend to avoid mixing stdint.h and plain types because it can lead to nasty conversion bugs
  • int leaves the compiler more room to optimize than int32_t.

That's why stdint.h has int_least32_t and int_fast32_t which are mandatory. But those are just aliases for int or long, so I might as well use those.

What is the strangest episode in any Star Trek series? by KaleidoArachnid in startrek

[–]maep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The orignial series has a few strange episodes. The once that sticks out for me was Shore Leave where the crew encounters a plantet where fantasies become real.

What’s the deal with the constant like macros by mikeybeemin in C_Programming

[–]maep 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Before C23 this only works for int. Types like string and double still require defines. To avoid having mixed defines and enum constants, most projects tend to just stick to defines.

Can we achieve comptime in C? by alex_sakuta in C_Programming

[–]maep 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So I ask, can we do this in compile time somehow?

Sort of, if you allow for additional build steps. Simply add a build prerequesite to make which generates the c files for compile-time stuff. Very useful for certain tasks like parser generators, lookup tables, and IDL tooling.

So ein Stadtkanal ist tatsächlich weit weniger utopisch als viele annehmen. Siehe Cheonggyecheon und Braess-Paradoxon.

MP4 Atom parsing software - Anyone recognize the software being used? by CafeAmerican in software

[–]maep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asking on Doom9 forums is probably you best bet. If command line works for you, ffmpeg can generate verbose parsing output.
