Not like C. Try building a xor-linked list in Java.

Not like C. They are not comparable. You get a reference to something you allocate on the heap, and you can have primitives on the stack. But you cannot take a reference to a primitive, or a reference to another reference, or a reference to

You're proposing a technical solution to a political problem. It doesn't work, this should be fixed at the source.

I'm not so sure, I remember being unable to sleep after watching 'The Mummy' in my early teens because I found the idea of scarabs crawling under my skin particularly horrific, but haven't really noticed an effect since.

I doubt it. Since you don't hold copyright over any part of LLVM you have no standing to sue for copyright infringement, so people using your GPL-but-otherwise-unmodified LLVM can ignore the GPL.

I thought the point of having something GPL licensed would be that you actually get to enjoy/enforce the copyleft clauses of the GPL. By just relicensing an existing non-copyleft project and not following up with any significant develo

What would be the point of that? Upstream will never accept GPL licensed patches and your fork is also available under the Apache license from the original source (except the readme changes that nobody cares about).

A binary number is a power of two iff only a single bit is set, so pretty trivial to implement.

I think the difference is largely uninteresting in this debate. Personally I enjoy eating meat and don't see myself giving it up entirely. I think there is a reasonable middle ground between 'we continue eating like we do now&#x27

Hundreds of millions of Asians are vegetarian or vegan. It's not like these diets were invented yesterday.

May I ask what kind of data you are storing that you need millions of tables? If you have such varied data, what are the tradeoffs compared to only a few tables with json columns?

In defense of the sunlight claim, significantly more people have easy access to sunlight than to environments with above normal oxygen concentrations.

Since 127 refuses to elaborate, what do you think they meant, that doesn't imply banning porn and hackernews?

These consent forms are not about cookies. They cover all forms of tracking, whether by cookie, local storage, ip adres, browser fingerprint, or any other technique.

It literally is "no tracking until opt in" under the GDPR, and websites voluntarily choose to force the dialogue on you in the hope you might accept. Nobody is forcing them to do so.

Why exactly should this law be limited to men? Put the women to work too, it would be sexist otherwise.

Then what are you saying? Give some specific examples.

> So potential is good enough justification? If you disagree that potential is a good enough justification, would you agree that private citizens should be able to own nuclear bombs? If not, why? If you do think citizens owning nuclear

How is "I don't want to be shot during a programming convention" a frivolous reason?

I hate religion as much as the next person and one can argue about the number of deaths that religion has caused, but a religious person attending a convention is unlikely to directly cause other convention goers to die during the conventio

I don't believe those things are objectively true. Outside of other humans nobody cares about those things. And you don't need to search far to find people who clearly don't believe the first one when the humans are their out

I have a masters degree in computer science. Perhaps it is your argument that doesn't make sense, or is not communicated well?

Oh I don't feel responsible or guilty for stuff that happened before I existed either (it's not like I could have done anything differently to alter the outcome), I just disagreed with the 4 centuries. I suspect we would mostly ag

I see no reason why nondeterminism is a requirement for consciousness. There are multiple possible answers to questions "Would you like a cup of tea?" (such as "Yes", "No", and "Only if you put some sugar

People with bad eyesight are not (to the best of my knowledge) less intelligent than those with perfect vision. We could probably supply video at a much lower resolution without significantly affecting the outcome.

I think for many (most?) people that would just result in them always voting +2/-2. Because stuff you disagree with is wrong (-1), and wrong posts don't contribute (-1), and likewise for agree/contributes. At least those are

You're turning things around. These species are suffering because of human nitrogen pollution. Where does all the excess nitrogen come from that is preventing these species from flourishing? Oh hey, turns out it's mostly agricultu

Perhaps we can stop their subsidies and see if they're suddenly willing to sell voluntarily.

So we're sacrificing the Dutch nature out of altruistic motives? And the rest of the Dutch people don't get a say about the biodiversity in their country, the farmers should make this noble sacrifice on their behalf, for the good
