@forrestthewoods we will see if it remains optimal for scenarios like that given this issue raised after that post:

@jplebreton @Doomed_Daniel Empathy is a core engineering value; security without accounting for accessibility just leads to even more insecure solutions to workaround incomplete designs. This is disappointing.

@TomF @Doomed_Daniel @pervognsen see proposal n2549: https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2549.pdf

@TomF @Doomed_Daniel @pervognsen binary literal constant prefixes are tentatively part of C23: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C23_(C_standard_revision)

@pervognsen @regehr I will take this chance to shamelessly plug my former colleagues blogs: http://www.linker-aliens.org/

The Solaris Docs for the linker are also a great reference:

@pervognsen @lritter @rich I know exactly which one this is and I completely agree; the introduction of that was the one thing that nearly ruined it for me until I figured out the solution

@lritter @rich personally, it took me a while to get used to it but once I did it was quite a fun ride.

@aaronsgiles personally I’ve always preferred linear mipmap without filtering (i.e., crunchy textures) for older titles especially

@typeswitch I’m just waiting for someone to bring the shareware model to the Abyss.

@brion yep; every time someone says Wayland is the future I ask them how that accessibility story is going. I know folks are working on it but I think it’s very telling that accessibility always seems to be last instead of first and some folks keep wrongly claiming that there’s no reason to keep using xorg, et al.

@Atridas @quimnuss if you think about it C does the same thing with implicit conversions but between actually different types. I believe this case in rust is a least upper bound coercion: https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/type-coercions.html#least-upper-bound-coercions

@breakin @TomF @zeux these are only weirdly waving arms I accept:

@btsherratt this is really great; I hope to see more!
