I don't know, please elaborate. The difference could also be that for a fresco the statue of limitations has expired? Or that the descendants of the "victims" have probably mixed with the descendants of the painters so that i

I know this one! The difference is that for the fresco the naked child had to pose for hours or days, instead of seconds?

It's not obvious at all. But let's cut&paste some of your stuff: > `a` is for the sound `aaaahhhh`. That's great for words like 'father', 'fall', and 'dark'. But not for words like 'd

But 'j' in Spanish sounds completely different from 'j' in English. Which of these languages should give up their j and add a new letter to their alphabet? At least in Spanish letters are usually pronounced the same, so

Thanks for the correction! I guess I sound a bit callous in my previous post, but I'm quite happy to learn that 3000 fewer children drown each year than I anticipated (it did feel like a high number). The 800 deaths per year figure can

Almost 4000 children die each year from drowning in the USA, with double that having a non-fatal drowning [0]. Note that non-fatal drownings can cause long-term health problems. They haven't banned pools yet, so it follows that, as a c

The other user was suggesting lifting restrictions would be equal to "fuck the kids". Clearly that is not the case. As for the risk of new mutations: if we were truly worried about that then perhaps the priority should be vaccin

Is it misleading to present a project as free and then have the (A)GPL license? Here I thought it was free, now suddenly there are all these conditions... The "legal print" in this case is five lines long, written in (contrary to

It would be a silly license. I imagine reading aloud a message on a billboard would be ruled fair use. Republishing of your message by an unauthorized party could be infringement, but your license doesn't change that; the default (&quo

If any creative work is copyrighted by default (and ignorance of the law is not an excuse) then surely all use of a creative work without a license is willful infringement?

It depends on how you define "early age" for the universe. Of course it can go on a long time, so in that sense the universe is extremely early age. On the other hand most of the stars that will ever exist have already been born

Note that the optimization discussed in the article does not actually involve UB. > UB should be a compiler error and force the programmer to specify what they want the result to actually be so there are no assumptions on the programmer

by Thiez 5y ago
Ostensibly as a programmer you know the semantics of your programming language, so the compiler isn't doing anything unexpected here ;) So from its perspective it is not doing anything unexpected to your code. I think the real problem

The C++ standard allows compilers to assume that loops terminate. Since there is only one way to exit the loop (`return true;`) the compiler can assume that this line will eventually be reached. Since the rest of the loop has no side effect

What purpose could locking down the dev tools possibly serve? Madness.

Which is why it is illegal, of course. Sadly that bit of the law is rarely enforced.

I suspect type inference becomes pretty tricky in the presence of subtyping. I don't have any F# experience, but I have done some Haskell back in the days and I found the type inference very convenient. But I also think there is someth

I think it can be useful for initialising properties and fields, where you are not allowed to use `var` (for good reason, if you ask me). But of all the recent features it's the one that I would miss least if it were taken away.

These days `Something something = new();` is also allowed.

by Thiez 5y ago
Not neccessarily, when your program is (tail-)recursive you can carry the "current" value along without ever really mutating it. Haskell has the State monad which doesn't require any impurity.

It would have to be a pretty sturdy box. Even if such a box could be built, it would be tricky to keep the black hole in the exact center.

The paper actually depicts a 5 earth mass black hole at 1:1 scale, if you are curious.

Sure, in that very specific and somewhat unlikely scenario. Maybe the professor demanded a handjob as well. Or perhaps the university claims ownership over all intellectual property produced by the PhD student as part of their thesis, and t
