As far as I can tell, there is no busybox bash. busybox's built-in shell is ash. There are options to enable a few bash-compatible extensions, but there is no "bash" applet.

Without a heat shield, Starship wouldn't be able to bring a crew back from orbit (or higher), regardless of reuse. Starship HLS, the planned lunar landing version, probably won't need a heat shield, but they'll definitely nee

The article gets something wrong about C. "U0 is essentially void but with zero size. In regular C, void is actually considered a Unit Type and thus when computing sizeof(void) in GCC, you will find that it resolves to 1." In C, v

Your proposed fix in [the article]( https://www.digitalmars.com/articles/C-biggest-mistake.html ) is to add a new function declaration syntax: void foo(char a[..]); that causes an array argument to be passed as

That's actually something that struck me negatively (about the README, not about the language). Sample code is great, but I'd be happier with a README that says something about the language (and, to a lesser extent, about its impl

That's not quite the kind of thing I'm referring to. The first full sentence of the README tells you what it is: "Pyright is a fast type checker meant for large Python source bases." I'm referring to READMEs that pr

Exactly. C has no arithmetic operations on types narrower than int and unsigned int. This bug (which involves subtracting 8-bit values and yielding an 8-bit result) could only happen in assembly language (or in an exotic C implementation wh

So we have "ronna" or "R" for 10^27 and "quetta" or "Q" for 10^30. I haven't seen the official binary equivalents. For example, we have "yotta" or "Y" for 10^24, and "yob

UXF has plenty of English-specific keywords. I agree that "true" and "false" would be clearer than "yes" and "no", but the fact that "yes" and "no" are English words isn't an

One suggestion: In documentation and comments, distinguish clearly between "const" and "constant". "const" means "read-only", and probably should have been spelled "readonly". "constant

An infinite set can have the same cardinality as a proper subset of itself. Two sets have the same cardinality if all their elements can be placed into a one-to-one correspondence with each other. For example, the positive integers can be p

Apparently I misremembered the details of the proof. I thought that it started with (P1, P2, P3, ..., PN) being a list of all the primes from 2 up to PN. Since (P1 * P2 * ... * PN) + 1 either is prime or has a prime factor not in the list,

No, the constructed number (P1 * P2 * ... * PN) + 1 either is prime or has a prime factor greater than PN. For example, (2 * 3 * 5 * 7 * 11 * 13) + 1 is 30031, which is 59 * 509 ( Apparently I misremembered the details of Euclid's
