24 is the minimum number, 33 is the target number, there are currently 31 active, and 9 in testing/reserve some of which could be activated if need be. (according to Wikipedia, this discussion got me to read more about it)

Bash has had real arrays since 2.0 (1996). Though, the `+=` operator to append to an array wasn't added until 3.1 (2005); before that you had to do `array[${#array[*]}]=word` to append. Since 4.0 (2009) it's also had associative a

That's still going to be way "less perfect" than diffing the output of `javap` or `godoc` or probably even the `help(module)` for a Python module. The ability to diff APIs objectively gets better when we switch away from C

Diffing C header files has way more false negatives than just "adding a function".

Yes, that's why people found GNU awk <4.0 troublesome. Fortunately modern versions POSIX make regex range expressions ("[a-z]") unspecified behavior on locales other than "C", so modern versions of GNU awk and ot

The numeric value of Unicode codepoints does match ASCII for codepoints < 127. However, Unicode codepoint numeric order is not collation order . Collation order isn't encoding-specific, it's locale (language)-specific. My cu

No, you can't say the same thing. You open it from a shell script, you literally do get something from it. In the email you quote, Linus gives two reasons why futex and sockets should not be files: > there's absolutely no poi

Using "page up" or "page down" to scroll causes it to jump to the very bottom of the page. Very cool though!

No. Whatever you stick in the install= file will run as root at install time. If you're using an AUR helper/running `makepkg -i`, the PKGBUILD absolutely can run code as root, without waiting for you to interact with the install

I wouldn't be surprised at all if there's a drawing command that's having a negative number passed to it in a place where it doesn't expect negatives. I wouldn't be too surprised if different backends handled this

Fiddling with it: Firefox's mistake is definitely that it isn't handling having outline-offset less than "-min(width, height)/2" in a sane way. (In the demo, width and height are both 100px; it starts do do funny t

It is my understanding that 38 of the states are one-party consent states. That is: in most states, it is perfectly legal to record your own phone calls. (It certainly is in my state; I'm taking Wikipedia's word for it for the o

Besides stylistic (dang, that code is hard to read), efficiency (it scans through s twice), and safety (it will do bad things if the combined length is > 100) concerns, it's also just plain wrong: It returns a pointer to memory on t

Good mention! I knew that realpath is a relatively new addition to GNU coreutils, but I didn't realize that older Debians had an incompatible implementation of it. With a single $(realpath ...), chomping the trailing newline is fine,

That chart is pretty suspect: - It doesn't go a good job of presenting the data that it is. - The data it's presenting isn't clearly related to the data discussed in the article. - It cites the SIPP as the source of the data,
