I shouldn’t have used C++ as the example. Even C would work. I agree with everything you’re saying, but the original premise. I think if you put ASM vs C, C++, rust, etc, performance would fall near 50/50.
I’m not the best assembly guy, and I’m not advocating we all write it. But I always felt that the compiler optimization assumption was wrong or weak. Everything would be aligned nicely for my sanity, not performance =]
I feel like that’s only true if I was asked to “write the assembly for this c++ program.” If I’m actually implementing something big in assembly, I’m not going to do 90% of the craziness someone might be tempted to do in c++. Something that is super easy in c++ doesn’t mean it’s easy for the CPU. Writing assembly, I’m going to do what’s easy for the CPU (and efficient) because, now, I’m in the same domain.
The bottom line is cranking up the optimization level can get you a 2-5x win. Using memory efficiently can give you a 10-100x win.
Sorry, I changed it manually. I should have cropped out the search.
Yeah. This was the problem. i just wanted to copy and paste it quickly but they rounded it off. It’s a useless conversion. And I switched it to mebibytes as well since that’s what everyone really means when they say megabytes unless you’re making selling storage devices. =]
Indeed, I should have just used my calculator program.
Yeah! Just use a browser. Make sure to click the right download button (not the 50 ads disguised as download buttons) to download an executable (just the installer). Then, run the installer and click “next” a bunch of times. Why would anyone want anything different?
You’re just more familiar with windows. You likely grew up with it and depending on your age were taught it in school. You’re biggest gripe seems to be having to touch the terminal to install things, but to me, I think it’s weird to use a browser to install things. This is where that esoteric knowledge comes in… you know which download button is the real one that won’t download a virus.
On one hand you have something that has no business existing and provides no value to humanity, and on the other, you have a terrible operating system. I’m feeling conflicted… Upvote.
Not sure what you’re on about, but I can’t help myself but upvote a “fuck Putin.”
How about display port that looks like HDMI? Oh wait…
At least it only needs to be precise if the register is adjustable. You would need some tiny stepper motors right? I’m not familiar with how register is adjusted on desktop printers, but I know it can be.
What’s in your wallet?
Ah yeah, I was a bit of a hold out going to 1.6, but eventually all the servers started disappearing. That was like ~8 years ago… right?
Don’t worry bud, I’ll upvote you. Not everyone is afraid of pointers.
