A) No.
B) That's not time travel.
C) Don't give me "possible"; give me "achievable".

Depends on how you define time travel. If as a strict movement against the flow of time in your specific space then yes, that is not time travel. If as a relative movement against time then maybe it is. If you perceptually move from current-day to a parallel world which in every way and molecule resembles 1986 you have effectively gone back 30 years for all purposes perceivable to you.

what do you expect from a site that spends ~4x as much space on clickbait and filler UI as on content.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

This isn't a theory, it's a hypothesis. That the professors don't know the difference is both astonishing and, I think, very revealing.

I came into this game for the action, the excitement. Go anywhere, travel light, get in, get out, wherever there's trouble, a man alone. Now they got the whole country sectioned off, you can't make a move without a form.

TensorFlow was originally developed by Google engineers and researchers to develop machine learning and deep neural networks research. Good? I guess? If your machine needs some learning?

Given the significant innovation in design tools and software development infrastructure, this type of coding is going to look dramatically different in the future. I thought VB settled that discussion years ago?

Mouse? I just think "I want a new OS." and my computer does it for me!

That's _virtual reality_ programming.
Give a shrug and write a new program.

This is so not like the late 90's, where designers moved into the web development space and WYSIWYG tools boomed. Not even a little!

Developers dread the delays for a C++ project to build, but Zapcc, a variation on the Clang/LLVM compiler, cuts those wait times by half or more Faster build times? But then how are you going to know when to go for a break?

In college, an Ingres database system was being used that dragged the system to its knees. We learned to create command files to compile, link and run our applications. We'd start it and walk away.. eat, play cards, come back later, check on it, repeat.
Thanks for the memories...

Perhaps they can speed up its implementation of C++17.
(Setting up your builds correctly is usually a better solution. Oh, and comprehensive unit tests will likely take longer than the build.)

"Zapcc works by caching header files ..."
They just reinvented precompiled headers!

but but but this is totally different...
Instead of a file on your file system, they've got an entire server process running to hog your ram and cpu too.
PS I really need to make a giant version of the some time.

I tried to post a smart comment but this article left me witless. Everybody is trying to innovate repeating the same technologies that existes 10-30 years ago.

I know it is deeply unfashionable to follow links in articles, but if you had bothered, you may realise that what they are doing is actually quite different. Even better, it doesn't require taking action to indicate that certain files should be precompiled (stdafx.h) or other non-portable solutions, it just caches the data structures it creates to represent headers, and re-uses them on subsequent compilations.
Hopefully though the whole effort will be wasted when Modules finally make it into C++. That is the correct solution to this problem.
