>>
>>107646158
>there is no way to carry the "x is a valid reference" witness around
Compilers are very good at carrying that around. You put the validity check in everywhere you're going to use it, and the compiler optimises almost all of them out because it does path tracing and sees that you are just repeating a test you already did. (Yes, it isn't guaranteed, but it's a very common thing and semantically correct.)
The path where the check fails must not merge with the other path; calling abort() after printing an error message is the best option. And you probably want to avoid changing the pointer.

OTOH, if you really want to have a number be a pointer, you can. You just probably ought to make it a volatile pointer because the main use for this is memory-mapped hardware bitbashing. Which is fun.
>>
>>107649337
I think all of this makes sense, thank you for your input.
The only case where the generated code for one shift operator should have more than one instructions is when the RHS is not known at compile time so it's not that bad to make the compiler implement a unique spec for all architectures.

>Negative shifts shouldn't be allowed.
Yes, the RHS should be unsigned. Do you have an opinion concerning the width of the RHS though? I came to think that the RHS should be a uint8_t, but maybe this is too restrictive?

For fuck's sake. My 1.5 year old modern thinkpad has a rattling fan and a drifting trackpoint.
Are modern macs any good in terms of quality and longevity? I don't care much about the frame since I'm not planning on dropping them, just in terms of continuing to work for 4-5 years without the fans or keyboard or trackpad falling apart.

And yes yes I heard all about the ultrathin keyboards being shit but I know apple updates their designs every couple of years and the quality varies a lot from what I remember. Are modern macbook pros decent for this or still shit?

The thing is, for over a decade we have been stuck in this stupid hype-for-new-tech upgrade cycle. Suddenly 4 cores was no longer enough, 16 gigs of RAM not enough, 2TB being the go to size. PeeSeaMastaReis, RGB, wireless. Where are the tech improvements though? Games looks worse and play worse than shit that came out in 2007. People are on fiber now, but webpages still take a few seconds to load. I use my computer the exact same way I used it when it was a big white box, paired with bulky 14'' CRT - watch movies, listen to music, play games, write code. AI is only useful for cutting down time on googling something, but then you still have to check if you can trust it, same goes for code troubleshooting, it's good for finding typos, but terrible for suggesting optimizations (which it does unprompted, and no, that toString() fucking stays!).
I'm actually thinking this: all this price hike and shortage isn't the end of the world. It's back to sanity. 4 cores, 8GB, iGPU, 512 SSD isn't shit. It's still going to play music, movies and vidya (still a better machine than I ran Crysis with when it came out). Normie-friendly Linux distros have been a thing since Mandriva and Ubuntu, but now they cover gaming too (Cachy, Bazzite, Nobara).
We haven't been progressing for over a decade, yet buying more expensive hardware to have the exact same (or worse) experience. I have a shitty low-tier Thinkpad the sole purpouse of which is to play music, movies and emulate arcade games through Fightcade for when friends visit. That thing is hooked up to a 4K TV and does fine, I use it more than my beefy desktop, just because of the couch-experience. IMO, a GPU or DDR5 stick could cost 10K bucks and it still wouldn't care. Whatever computer you have, hasn't been obsolete since 2015.

I also experienced all the price hikes that happened before and always just endured. My upgrade cycle is between 5-6 years and that was only because of things like this >>107648451
Last upgrade I did was in July and after a week I realised it wasn't necessary, it was something I was planning as part of that cycle, had the money, pulled the trigger and it was stupid. Now my biggest bottleneck is the keypress delay setting in my OS and general wireless interference becoming a meme when every peripheral is running of a 2,4 dongle.

thats because you don't do local AI. this is about taking AI away from ordinary people and only making it available through cloud. you need lots of RAM to run AI locally. they want to take that away from us because its too dangerous to have rando 4chan anons making offensive slop. so this is whats really going on.

what do you mean people dont have patience
webdev and gaming is awfully optimized, ever since the micron message you hear gaming studios promising optimization as a counter measure to this nonsense
the way you use a computer hasn't changed that much since windows 95, the way you use the internet has changed though, before you had to jump through a lot of hoops and there was some prerequired technical knowhow
the core of the argument has always been technical literacy aka the solution to every problem we ever had since the DOS days

in 2003 if you had a 10 year old PC good luck with doing anything useful given the software of the time, the cutoff year was somewhere in 2014-15

if you bought a 10 year old laptop you are good from every technical standpoint there is, the only thing that would force you to buy new is if the government required every CPU manufacturer to add some TPM type chip for just basically connect to the internet or if we had some material breakthrough and a new generation of moors law popped up

I've used to use CRUX for 2 years and Slackware for like 5 years. CRUX is less complete, but have better design. Slackware wins in it's user friendliness and straightforwardness and that basically everything is already packaged. In CRUX you need to make ports for many things and things like complete DEs are not packaged. The most complete desktop you can get without too much hassle is probably XFCE. Most people use WMs on CRUX so not many people package complex software. On Slackware even Plasma is packaged, because AlienBOB packages it.

Objectively CRUX is superior, but in reality Slackware is better, because it's as in the name - you don't need to do much. And in CRUX you need to do a ton unless you are satisfied with no desktop, no WINE and no complex software of any kind. It is fine if you want very minimal system though.

Both of them have a nice property of stable system that doesn't change unless you want it.

>If only the whole system - every core system package had their own Slackbuild the Slackware would be literal perfection.

there is a slackbuild for every official package. all you need to do is provide a source tarball
then you even have an experimental build-world.sh script on the official website.
