Yeah it's not the segfault that's bad, it's when it's when the write to address 0x20001854 succeeds and now some hapless postal clerk is going to jail.

Almost 30 years ago National Semiconductor had an early nicely done website that allowed you to search for products, get data sheets, ask questions, find reps and distributors. I used it all the time. 1997-8 one day I bring it up and it&#x2

If people think at all rather than just doing what everyone else does. People invest in their future. Peasants don't own land, can't own land, have zero access to financial wealth or education, so they try to breed because adult c

I'm with you, don't do crap like that. Always return a valid object. email_t theEmail = parseEmail(untrustedInput); if (theEmail.error != PARSE_OK) { return error; }

I do something like that with event driven firmware. There is an allocator as part of the context. And the idea that the function is executing under some context seems fine to me.

That most counties need to import oil and gas to keep the lights on and industry functioning means you don't need to send gunboats of yore. See Smedley Butler's rant. Now when they get in a pickle they need foreign currency. And t

It's more banal than that. Oil you have to pay for. Which for most countries you need to constantly come up with foreign currency. If you have a financial crisis like hot money flees you end up at the mercy of the world banking systems

I have trouble escaping the idea that the schmucks that run muni's are all competing with each other to be more upscale than each other. And mostly that devolves into policies to 'keep the riff raff out'. My ex brother in law

Gaza is a separate state, a failed state run by criminals and terrorists.

I always strikes me how the people that encourage the Palestinians to start wars they can't win are oblivious to how much of a shit bag they are for doing that.

Both Israel and Egypt attempt to limit the weapons that the terrorists that run Gaza can get access to.

Israel cleared out of Gaza 17 years ago. Gaza immediately became a mafia state run by the Muslim brotherhood and subsisting off handouts and extortion. Consider it a failed experiment in self rule.

defer and a stack allocator would probably go well together. Start of scope mark the allocators state. defer when it goes out of scope you release everything. Cheezy would be the release function takes a list of objects to keep.

I remember someone who was locked up by both the Shah and the Ayatollahs. He said being in prison under the Shah was mind numbingly boring. While being locked up by the Ayatollahs was utterly terrifying 24/7. At the end of the Iran Ira

The law should just require the cops move the offending car to a different location and issue a fine. There shouldn't any private towing and impound at all.

My personal experience is your immune system is sharp on both sides. You hope whatever antibodies and immune response gets triggered doesn't cross react with self. I have some friends that had Hashimoto's disease. Type 1 diabetes.

I have a full sized van. I know how much is costs to drive it. That's also why I own a Prius. I see men commuting in late model pickups down 880 and I think it'd be the same as me tossing a dollar bill out the window every mile.

EV's and Hybrids get better mileage and pollute less. It's funny how the Clinton admin forced a golden egg into GM's hands (the EV1) and GM tossed it away in disgust when Bush was elected.
