That I can agree with.

Can you explain a bit more? What's missing from current options?

"Energy constrained" doesn't mean he lacks sugar, it means his brain isn't letting him do the work anymore because it is in the process of burning out.

The difference: nothing really. It's just that society appears to be able to hold on for a while with dysfunctional banks, while if no one wants to work again because money flows in through credit cards anyway, it seems to me things wo

I've added a clarification so people with willfully minimal reading comprehension skills can also understand what was meant.

Yeah, it would ensure nobody ever paid off their credit card again, for one thing... Just wait for the next round of debt elimination, and until then live the good life!

There should, however, be a significant continuation of the culture for that to be true. A civilisation is also not just a bunch of people living in a geographical location. As an example, the current state of Egypt is not the heir to (or c

If you have the same expression twice as part of a compound assignment, there's nothing stopping you from assigning the variable instead of repeating the expression: a = b = f(); vs. a = f(); b = a; And tangential

...one man? Out of the whole company, the massive number of people that must have been involved, only one man gets the blame? And not even an executive at that?

Not from pointers, though.
191.
by agent327 5y ago
If arrays are separate types, pointer arithmetic becomes redundant: you can't add one to a pointer to get to the next element anymore. That would remove an entire class of problems. Pointer to array would still be a thing, of course, b

Wasn't there some rule about not immediately assuming the worst here?

You are being voted down, but I can think of little as harmful as the open sewer that is unfiltered social media, especially to younger people that haven't yet learned not to take it all personally.

I've given this advise before and it may sound really weird but I stand by it. Beginner programmers should read this book: http://www.z80.info/zaks.html Yes, it's old. Yes, it's for a non-current CPU. But it

While you are not wrong, the two major problems in C I would consider to be array-to-pointer decay (arrays should really have been a separate type), and assignments being expressions instead of statements. Array decay means that pointers ne

I'll grant this could be true, but like many I have clear memory of them saying this, and denying it now seems like a bad case of rewriting history in order to save a marginal bit of face. It's like how Bill Gates was never suppos

You can't just get rid of the CO2 that was already emitted either. It's going to be in the atmosphere forever. Also, oil spills make huge tracts of land unlivable, and unfortunately it's almost always fragile marine areas. Wh

Does this kind of jamming also affect road traffic in the area, or only air traffic? Just curious...

Not OP, but I'm guessing because they wouldn't want to subject the people they are likely to love most in the world, and have pinned all their hopes and dreams on, to the imagined horrors of the future.

I wasn't implying it was a complete list; if it were, presumably at least Iran needs a place on it too. However, the question was why we hadn't heard about it. The answer is because it is a shameful conflict that doesn't make

Because there's a civil war in that country, indirectly supported by the US through its Saudi Arabia proxy. It's a nasty, dirty conflict full of human rights violations, and reporting on it would bring to the public's attenti

Using a * simple* version control system with a * simple* graphical user interface might go a long way to convincing them to use versioning. I would suggest SVN with TortoiseSVN, and would most strongly argue against GIT. Yes, all the coo

That's really the job of the injured party, not Cloudflare. If someone calls my office and tells me that one of our customers is doing something illegal, I will not, under any circumstance, forward that information to law enforcement.

I'm not convinced that you fully understood the point of this idea. The point is not just to just have any two web pages sitting next to each other (this is what your modifications do, right?), but more importantly the interaction betw

Calling out a common problem with Chinese research is not racism. There is a real problem here, and it needs to be called out and fixed. That won't happen if it gets ignored by everyone.

And yet, the only people called out for it are the one group that actually ended it long ago...
