Any valid pointer values can be compared for equality. Only pointers that point within a single object (like an array, or a struct) can be compared for ordering. Nesting doesn't matter as long as down the line there's a common &qu

Well, you can compare pointers (to distinct objects) too, but only for equality. (The only in any case not-undefined way of calculating some sort of difference value between such is with the use of the optional uintptr_t, but I'd guess

Block heaters are used in somewhat milder climates as well – even though a modern ICE will start quite fine at even below -20°C (increasingly more unreliably the lower you go), doing so is somewhat harmful for the engine. (Also, by heating

Yes, but that doesn't actually prove anything about the safety aspects of switching from public transit to a taxi-like service. The comparison would have to be made like-for-like trips. However, the risks for both are quite small, and

What was the last Linux laptop you installed a Windows on? (edit: removed unnecessary remark.) The last laptop I did a clean install of Windows (7) on was a HP netbook. Even though it was a Windows machine, and I used their Windows instal

Regarding NPR's choice of words: it is in fact quite common to avoid very direct accusations in politics and news. I really doubt the author came about this for the first time ever, but rather wonder if he detested it as much each and

One thing that catches me surprisingly often when I use Edge (which is very, very rarely, contributing to this), is that all the browser controls, like Back, stay in focus when you click them until you click something else. I don't thi

In font sizes yes, other sizes not so much :-) (I couldn't reproduce the issue highlighted in musage's source by altering Firefox' default font size, but perhaps that's an IE only thing.)

Unintended code (like having both arms of an if-else-statement execute the same action, or a duplicate condition in a logical expression) is sometimes perfectly valid as far as the standard goes. A double condition for example may simply be

Worth noting that some warning flags (at least when combined with -Werror* ) make the compiler not standard compliant. * It's been some time since I last partook in language lawyering, and can't remember if standard compliant C co

On the small side perhaps, but 175 % would be at the other extreme (unless there's something that causes OP to have even smaller fonts than I have with a monitor with similar pixel pitch). IMO 125 % at the very most should be enough t

That may be the situation in the U.S. – definitely not comparable in most of the EU. Also worth bearing in mind that not all the money that goes to road infra for motor vehicles can be attributed to the costs of enabling the use of passenge

The mentioned tool 'turbo-linecount' is, well, odd. It targets what I'd think is a very niche application of counting lines very fast (a domain usually limited by I/O speed), using a rather complex design... and then man

How do these cases prove that – a genetically male person feeling like a male, proving that the exact opposite is true? That conclusion has absolutely no substance if you give it any thought at all.
