1. Faster? Really? Those values only live in registers for a short while, is saving one or two cycles all that important? 2. That is an interesting point. Gut instinct says tmp should end up being f64 and then both expressions would be the

In what context would I want less accurate results from my arithmetic expressions? I mean, I have some numbers, I write an expression with them, and then I expect to get the most accurate possible result. Doesn't it make a lot more sen

Isn't there something else we can burn that also gives off that nice wooden smell? I smell a market opportunity here - bio natural imitation fireplace wood - 100% carcinogen free smoke, asbestos free, cholesterol free, contains no hydr

Why the downvotes guys? He's right. Pigs are tasty. I mean you get ham and bacon and steak and butt and all kinds of stuff from pigs.

I have been wondering for a while what reason there is for LCD displays to have refresh rates at all. There is nothing to refresh per se. Shouldn't the display just tell the videocard it can handle frames as long as they're at lea

Well, since you seem to have insight as to the reasoning behind others' choices, perhaps you could enlighten us how someone came up with the idea of writing 20K lines of shell and passing it off to a community of Ruby developers as a &

Or, they could just learn shell scripting. How much would that cost? I do not understand why the[1] shell... which is a relatively small language... is so difficult for people to learn. If you can find the time to learn Ruby, what stops yo

It's a global economy. I take it you all agree on that. I have a question for you: "With respect to importing and exporting, how important is it to be in balance, or to have trade surplus (versus a trade deficit)?" China&#x2

And having a flamewar on how people should google things for themselves wasted how many kettles? Anyway, if you don't want to tell people things, then don't tell people things, but going on and on on how OP should just google thin

The way I've heard it explained is that Japanese has too many homonyms and simply writing things by sound would be too ambiguous. On the other hand, a friend who spent a year in Japan remarked that, e.g. policemen carry dictionaries wi

Couldn't it be some sort of new notification system for the driver which gives him instinctive feedback and lets him drive the engine the same way traction control would?

You know, on reflection, this is actually a good thing. Not because of the diversity - screw diversity. Because you'll have more people with aptitude admitted. Programming aptitude is mostly evenly distributed regardless of gender and

There's also the common swift, who spends almost all its time in the air and absolutely never lands on ground, due to being unable to take-off -- its legs are too short and weak to do that. They only land on rock faces and take off by

I was under the impression that Googlebot already executes javascript on pages. A more interesting idea would be if you do this for every user - prerender the page and send them the result, so they don't have to do the first, heavy js

Is it just me, or does anyone else think the way CORS works right now is completely bass-ackwards? We have a page served by Host A that wants to access resources on Host B. Why is it that Host B has to allow this and not Host A? If I compro

No, it was the same for me. Seas are dark blue while landmasses are white near the poles, green in most other places and sandy yellow in deserts - light colours. It makes me expect lands to be light and seas to be dark, even on a stylised m
