I think most advice to "learn C" really aims to get you to learn how things work closer to the metal. What actually becomes of your code and data, broadly speaking, once your high-level language's interpreter or compiler have

Speaking as someone who hasn't tried colocation, would you care to recommend your provider or explain who the Linode and the DO are in that space?

I don't think it's easier to learn that せんぱい is pronounced with an [m] sound than it is to learn that "senpai" is pronounced with an [m] sound. Beginners can be just as surprised by the different pronunciations of ん as t

I'm curious: is there a ready-to-use set of tests for a layout engine that checks conformance with the specs? Something that you could, without much effort, run against a toy layout engine you'd write? I know Webkit/Blink hav

Do Japanese audiobooks exist? Assuming yes, do their users have significant problems understanding the written text when pronounced in an audiobook? Are there well-known conventions or shortcuts or explanations that audiobook readers insert

How usual is it for the court to decline to stay enforcement? What's the reasoning used to not stay? Can this decision itself be appealed? If it's true that the appeals court would be likely to severely reduce the damage amount, i

I have, actually this year too (missed it in the list because it didn't come from Amazon). I read the collection Nine Hundred Grandmothers . I thought it was pretty uneven, but the highs were very high. There were 4 or 5 stories in th

[cont'd] Michael Frayn, Democracy. A compulsively readable play about an episode in the politics of West Germany in the 1970s, a subject I didn't know could be made so interesting to me. Superb. Michael Flynn, Eifelheim. Excellent

Non-fiction, best to worst: Henry Marsh, Do No Harm . A brilliant memoir by a neurosurgeon about his work, the nature of his profession, successes and mistakes (especially the latter). Frequently touches or verges into the personal. Not mo

I think many people who criticize the idea feel that it's been heavily pre-politicized to push for a particular version of "social justice" meme-complex. And if you discount that driving force and that motivation, it isn&#x27

The theorem the SA article is talking about - CFSG, the Classification of Finite Simple Groups - is somewhat special in that respect. Lots of things in math fall out of fashion and get forgotten, often whole subfields. CFSG is different bec

The contents of the green box make the labels paradoxical; but it's OK because paradoxes exist. Consider a paradox such as "This sentence is false". There's a problem with deciding if it's true or false. Countless a

It's crazy to prefer free technical books just because they're free. If you're reading a math textbook, or a CS textbook, or any but the most fluffy programming book, then you're giving it so much of your time and attent

What do you mean "Go's official convention"? Go is a language; it has a spec. Is it in the spec? No. What is this "Go" that this is an official convention of, and where is it standartised beyond your comment?
