Testability is a good one, thanks. I'm not so sure about performance and I'll chew that one over for now.

I'm going to disagree and see what other people say. I don't think that reduction of size is of any relevance. I admit my own refractors tend to make things smaller but it's only a tendency. Most definitely some increase the

For consistency, the same design problems should have the same design solutions a.k.a. pattern. If you don't value consistency, feel free to take a different approach every time. That will confuse your users. I used to work with a guy,

No probs, and yes I certainly learnt something important, thanks.

"This definition of π implicitly makes use of flat (Euclidean) geometry; although the notion of a circle can be extended to any curve (non-Euclidean) geometry, these new circles will no longer satisfy the formula π = C / d"

Well played indeed, but from wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahydrofuran "Odor: Ether-like". As a side note, ether is a lovely smell diluted but inhaled concentrated (for recreational purposes – it&#x2

WHOAH!? Tell us more, please!! (My fave short was Continued on Next Rock, I just wish I had time to reread his novels).

Ur being rather snotty about this. I've just realised something important which is so obvious to you that you consider it trivial, but it's not. I realised something important today, you might just want to feel pleased for me, and

'graphics' yes, but 'nice' would be nice because they often aren't.

I don't agree, I thought what he said was very interesting. It never occurred to me that pi might vary, and over a non-flat space I can see what they're saying. I think it's intrinsically interesting simply because it breaks

But what else should one do with wealth? Take Elon Musk... Oh, he makes flying, firebreathing, spacegoing dragons with his money.

+1 for mention of Lafferty. His is a strange status indeed, a kind of well-known obscurity, or great fame writ small. Maybe he's more a writer's writer.

A book is always a good start.

Oh, ok, thanks. Interesting.

That's unfair. "I very much doubt…" Is a statement of his opinion and not fact.

Not a down voter but > I very much doubt cats understand the concept of death and can "grieve," My guess is someone disagrees with both of these claims. To be fair, your doubting that they can grieve is a bit ambiguous – of cou

Okay, in light of recent UK events I get the subtext :-) But I don't think it's fair to call UK food bland. Done properly it's very good, but what it's not (usually) is heavily seasoned. In no way does that require it to

Yeah, I thought that was a direction too. Slightly over thinking it.

Was going to say the same. Tomatoes vary hugely in many aspects; you can't really talk about a 'tomato', they're so different. (anyone tasted a potato fruit? Toxic and like little green tomatoes, but I wonder at their ta

Is known in a wider area eg. ajver in Turkey. It's okay, the texture can be a bit glooey sometimes. (Sidenote: in Turkish they have different words for heat from temperature and heat from hot peppers - anyone chip in here?) On heat tol

err, any refs for that? I really doubt it but could well be wrong. I'm not aware of any mainstream arch that can/could do that, that I can think of.

Oops, buffered of course, you're right.

DDG disagrees. https://html.duckduckgo.com/html?q=%22%20heuristic%20dynamic... I'm clearly not going to understand your motivation so I think I'll stop here. (edit: There is absolutely nothing stopping heuristics

Bit rusty here but what if you replaced if (*file_lo == 127) { ++count; with count += (*file_lo == 127); That might save you the occasional branch mis-prediction, and might possibly open up some hardware-level loop
