So which one is right, the name of the function (the comment), or it's implementation?

Following your logic, is not taking of on a plane during a thunderstorm an "engineering smell"?

This has more to do with the ISA than C I'd assume. C was built as an "easy assembler". Furthermore, the computer doesn't really care about structure (in the structured programming sense). In this case the implementation

This doesn't work for rational numbers either. Take any rational a/b, then 0 < a/(2b) < a/b is both closer to zero, and it is also a rational number.

Plastic surgery can save you if you have severe burn wounds or deformations that came out of an accident. So yes, plastic surgery is health care. Did you have other things in mind when listening these things? Furthermore, 1% "health th

May I ask what the biggest changes/ deal breakers were? It is difficult to understand the whys without knowing about the usage-pattern was broken. I'm genuinely curious.

"Yes, but ..." is a great way to move your goalposts. On another note, do you expect your hotkeys from your Office program to work in a Firefox form field?

For that, you'd need a set of commonly accepted data structures. Alternatively, you can describe and send arbitrary data structures. Although that begs the question of how to process arbitrary data structures. (JSON and XML aren't

The syntax of lambda calculus is quite simple as well. However, I find it hard to say that any project of reasonable size would be anything but cryptic. A short grammar does not imply that the resulting language is comprehensible.

Does it matter in a situation, where you don't want to close the door immediately?

This command is no longer available in neovim, so it should be fine to use there.

As long as there exists a bijection between whatever you choose as an index and the natural numbers starting from 0 it is fine. (I.e. the range of valid indices must be a countable set) In your example that bijection could be: 3 -> 0

The point made is independent of the integer size and I think we should assume in good faith, that uint8 was chosen for the purposes of an example.

So the stories of having to live in a trailer in silicon valley because everything else is too expensive are all false?

The default link color wasn't made for dark mode, therefore it stands to reason that it will not have an optimal readability then. It hasn't suddenly become unreadable, the requirements changed. And under the new requirements it i

I do, as I like to bookmark stuff that I find interesting to share or look up again later. Having it disappear at a whim with the only hope being that it was archived such that I can access it makes the web a bit less meaningful to me. Find

This does go both ways, doesn't it? Especially since a ministry was the main proponent of putting people into gas chambers once. They even killed anyone that would advocate for peace or provide help in this case. There seems to be a si

History has also shown us, that it doesn't matter how many people say you're wrong, you could be right. In fact, this is usually how major progress was made in science. The whole "popular opinion" game is very one-sided

I did not find it with a search prompt of "Meson dependency isystem". That said, searching for "isystem" on the meson documentation does yield only 3 results. One of them is including the include_type field. I don't

His point is that the language of all inputs on which a Turing Machine holds after at most N steps is regular. So for any given Language L that a Turing Machine TM decides, there is a family of languages: L_n = { w | TM accepted the wo

> Before that, they are obscure and should be avoided. Then how, if I might ask, is a symbol going to become ubiquitous, if it is not to be used while it is still obscure?

I agree. I find it especially odd, that people think that programming and computer science is a complex topic that takes years to learn and master, but complain about the appearance of jargon with an appeal to "ease of use". If th

Making the migration in order to find out if it was worth it appears to be quite an expensive test of an hypothesis.

It is a straw man in that it implies that anything self-censored this way is something not worthy of being put out into the open, completely missing the point that a thought very well may have been been worth sharing. In essence, only the t
