1) easiness is subjective, simplicity is objective. 2) simple code is easy to read, but hard to write. If you're a programmer, and you're not surrounded by people conflating both words, consider yourself lucky. What does a coworke

I would love that you be right. However, here are examples of successfully enforced software patents: - in Europe: http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2002/1702.html - in US: https://

The article talks about addiction, but doesn't talk about withdrawal. Is "dopamine withdrawal" a thing in medical science?

Non-deterministic compilation would be pretty bad. First, producing different outputs from the same input brings the question of caching tools (e.g ccache, FastBuild), who assume the compiler is a pure function of its inputs. Moreover, assu

First-order functions maybe? The following function has an obvious visual representation as a processing block: int add(int a, int b); But how do you represent a function allowing other functions in its signature, e.g: void t

Are you suggesting that regularly being impacted by outbreaks is, on average, beneficial to a population? This seems far fetched. There certainly are ways to teach the correct response to an outbreak, other than killing 1% of the population

All else being equal, could the efficiency of malloc_trim depend on heap fragmentation? Could the heap end up with "gaps" of free'd memory that couldn't be returned to the OS independently?
