Hmm, I think maybe my sarcasm detector is broken. Or maybe my respect detector..Romy wrote:I am being extra gentle to Mr Hyatt out of respect, like Mr Kasparov responded to Mr Fischer.
I wrote that, and I was mostly thinking of compilers for x86 and other commodity chips. I have never seen a mainframe compiler, but its true that all of the ideas used by modern compilers have been around for a good long time. If Bob says a 15-year old Cray compiler was just as good as the x86 compilers we have today, I'd just take his word for it. He's been practicing computer science for longer than some of us have been alive.All modern optimizing compilers are quite "sophisticated" (although the ones used to compile Rybka back in 2005-6 were not as good as they are today)
You keep singing this same song. What are you trying to accomplish here? You seem to have an axe to grind with the ICGA, or with Dr. Hyatt?Romy wrote: So by repeated invite to me to leave, Mr Hyatt by implication invite IGNORANCE to join. Is that the ICGA standart?
I ask again:
Is any competent one here?
Do you really think you can sway anyone's opinions using these tactics?
