Query builders reduce the temptation to build SQL queries dynamically using string operations.

so do prepared statements, and without having to translate your sql into some other framework's "native syntax" that almost does what you want but not quite

Actually let me answer that.
Have you seen the typical search/filter function of a bug tracker? It's either 10+ fields that may or may not be filled out, or a dynamic form where you can add any number of conditions to filter on.

A possibly simpler case, I don't think I've seen a prepared statement API that accepts arrays as an input parameter type, meaning you effectively can't make "x IN :userselection" conditions without jumping through hoops. (Very basic case: Find all items that has one or more of a user-selected list of tags applied.)

idk if you're programming in java but if so, the spring jdbctemplate handles array parameters just fine

Debugging your compiler emitting bad Rust is probably easier than debugging it emitting bad LLVM

what makes you think so? the llvm intermediate representation was explicitly designed for compilers to emit, while the rust programming language was not

Falsehoods Programmers Believe about Names

i stopped caring around #11... if the characters in your name can't be mapped to unicode code points (or any other character set) then how exactly are you typing it on a computer? what does this guy want, a blank canvas where i can put whatever arbitrary squiggles i feel like?

if you want your ide's static analyses to work, try using a language that isn't an arbitrary dynamic ball of mud

if c was meant to be a portable assembly, then c compilers wouldn't do any optimising, since assemblers don't do any optimising

it also wouldn't have types

as far as i'm concerned, C doesn't have types. it has things that look like types, but really they are just instructions to the compiler on how much memory to allocate. they don't otherwise resemble an actual type system

Nah, that's actually beautiful code :v:

C++ code:

    template <typename FP>
    uint64_t ulpDistance( FP lhs, FP rhs ) {
        assert( std::numeric_limits<FP>::is_iec559 &&
            "ulpDistance assumes IEEE-754 format for floating point types" );
        assert( !Catch::isnan( lhs ) &&
                "Distance between NaN and number is not meaningful" );
        assert( !Catch::isnan( rhs ) &&
                "Distance between NaN and number is not meaningful" );

        // We want X == Y to imply 0 ULP distance even if X and Y aren't
        // bit-equal (-0 and 0), or X - Y != 0 (same sign infinities).
        if ( lhs == rhs ) { return 0; }

        // We need a properly typed positive zero for type inference.
        static constexpr FP positive_zero{};

        // We want to ensure that +/- 0 is always represented as positive zero
        if ( lhs == positive_zero ) { lhs = positive_zero; }
        if ( rhs == positive_zero ) { rhs = positive_zero; }

        // If arguments have different signs, we can handle them by summing
        // how far are they from 0 each.
        if ( ( lhs < 0 ) != ( rhs < 0 ) ) {
            return ulpDistance( std::abs( lhs ), positive_zero ) +
                   ulpDistance( std::abs( rhs ), positive_zero );
        }

        // When both lhs and rhs are of the same sign, we can just
        // read the numbers bitwise as integers, and then subtract them
        // (assuming IEEE).
        uint64_t lc = Detail::convertToBits( lhs );
        uint64_t rc = Detail::convertToBits( rhs );

        // The ulp distance between two numbers is symmetric, so to avoid
        // dealing with overflows we want the bigger converted number on the lhs
        if ( lc < rc ) {
            std::swap( lc, rc );
        }

        return lc - rc;
    }

if you think this is beautiful, you got a serious case of c++ brain
