I suspect they meant "That's" rather than "It's".

For picosecond resolution to be useful wouldn't clock rates need to be on the order of THz? Otherwise what advantages would ps resolution give you over ns?

This looks more like MPI style parallelism (usually used on things like supercomputers and clusters) than anything the standard library provides.

I don't think I understand your figures correctly, because none of them (except the last) seem to show any significant drop. There's a drop of about 10 positions in one of them but I wouldn't call that particularly significan

How generic is your email address? This has literally never happened to me (to my recollection).

If that's why you have a limit then please go and change that immediately . No, this post is talking about having a minimum length on the password for safety reasons (i.e. a limit on the minimum entropy). You're right that a mini

My Linux Firefox also behaves correctly, but I don't have any language packs installed AFAIA.

I think the current "If you see something, say something." is specifically targeted at child abuse. At least, that's how all the adverts make it sound.

I've got an ancient steel one that you have to put on the hob, and even that has pressure release valve.

Is it an American thing to force your students to buy textbooks? In Britain (at least at the universities that I know about) there tends to be 2 or 3 recommended texts, of which the library will have several copies, and they're meant f

I'm a bit confused about why this is considered a commercial activity; there's no advertising, or paywall, or anything like that.

That's when using a custom allocator though, browsing through the other examples it doesn't look like there's any manual memory management going on but that could just be the examples chosen.

Is there any reason why we can't have a "C clang"? Or has just nobody bothered yet?

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't having a go at you. It's just that I learnt 3 when I already had quite a handle on 2, and I'm not very good at putting myself in the shoes of a beginner.

Is it possible to put that while loop on multiple lines? It looks like there are 6 different assignments in there, and trying to pick out what is happening is very hard when it's all on one line like that.

It's been a little while since I last wrote any AppleScript but while I didn't find it completely horrendous to write, it was certainly harder to write than most scripting languages because there is a lot to remember about how a s

Fixed sized integers are useful in two situations (that I can think of); if you're interfacing with a language that doesn't use the same integer size as your C compiler, or if you're relying on integers being a certain width

I'm not sure, to be honest. I just assumed they were running GCC in a VM, but actually there was no real reason for me to assume that.

Compiler optimisations can be very nuanced, especially in C. You might find that changing the code very slightly, or even just using a different combination of compiler options, can speed up the code a surprising amount. Edit: Looks like us

I've always wondered what C running on a JIT would be like. As far as I'm aware all the modern JIT languages are quite high level and do a lot more than C to begin with, so it would be interesting to see if you could eek out even

Automated checkouts aren't about each individual machine being faster than one cashier, they're about being able to serve ten people while only one cashier watches over.
