I wonder how Linux manages without explicit _chkstk? In my experience, it feels like MAP_GROWSDOWN regions have way more than 1 guard page below its start — I can poke like a megabyte lower than its start, and the kernel will grow the mem

It is a perfectly valid description of electrical wiring... but you need to have that context to translate it properly. Technical English translation skills vs. literary English translation skills, if you will.

It's supposed to mean "a naked wire is stretched under the car". But it very well can be interpreted as, well, as a cloth-less train conductor having to quickly move under the carriage.

Hey, it's not that easy to chose between "водяной баран" and "гидравлический таран", you know. My favourite example of troubled blind translation is still "naked conductor runs under the carriage".

Because instead of jumping straight to the actual code of the function, you jump to the trampoline first, and then bounce off of it to the function.

Letterlike Symbols and Fullwidth Forms are in BMP (and I generously consider Enclosed Alphanumerics to not be a copy of a Latin alphabet).

Well, they certainly have behavioral response. But do they experience it? Descartes believed they didn't, most people today believe they do, but don't believe that web servers or LLMs are conscious; who knows what people a century

We also have at least 15 copies of Latin alphabet in Unicode, all differently styled/fonted (there is chancery cursive, mathematical cursive, the fraktur version, the full-width version, etc.)

Yes, and Cyrillic letters also look quite different in Bulgarian and Russian fonts. So what?

For a counterpoint, see David R. Hanson's "Is block structure necessary?" (1981) [0] — back in those days, "block structure" meant nested routines with nested scopes — which argues that having instead a proper modul

Apparently, that's how Biblical Hebrew expressed the jussive. German uses 3rd person subjunctive ("Meine Seele sterbe mit den Philistern"), Polish (and other Slavic languages, I imagine) also uses 3rd person future but with e

by Joker_vD 2mo ago
Something like "let my life perish with the Philistines". As the sibling comment notices, the original Hebrew word doesn't really mean "spirit" in the "immortal soul" meaning.

There are actually websites like that. It's... mostly fine, frankly, although a bit jarring.

Eh, I personally like the light theme better. But if others would decide that I too shall ever only perceive bright text on dark background, I guess I could live with that as well.

Frankly, !-2 && !! and its variations (like '!-2 | !!') is pretty much the most use I've gotten out of this feature.
