Gujarati has its own script, fairly similar to Devanagari but without the horizontal bar above letters and a few more changes. Marathi uses Devanagari. I believe both Urdu and Hindi came from Hindustani which was derived from Khari Boli.

Have there been any studies that test if the absorption of Vitamin D (from supplements) is influenced by disease compared to healthy people?

This is the PCI express driver for BCM2711. Good to see this but the UAS support would be elsewhere! Either in the umass driver or a new uas driver (just a guess as I am unfamiliar with the USB related kernel code).

FreeBSD doesn't support UASP (protocol id 98). AFAIK neither do the other three BSDs.

If it works well enough, it would be a fine choice to connect with your friends/colleagues while you are stuck at home due to the corona virus. A few years down the road there will be new products!

Yeah, I too thought of Rouge Male. There is a 1976 movie of it starring Peter O'Toole worth watching. On Amazon Prime.

You can write code in a functional programming style in k/j/apl, the same as in Scheme etc., but they are imperative languages.

I learned about Miranda from the appendix of "The Implementation of Functional Programming Languages" 1987 book by Simon Peyton Jones (IIRC one can find a PDF copy online). I liked it a lot though I had no access to its implementa

use git to track /etc/hosts changes and you can get some stats out as to how well it works for you over time, or recognize patterns!

I have always used the dynamic tripod grip (the same grip shown in Escher’s “Drawing Hands” drawing). I am right-handed but I write “away” from me, at a 60° angle or more. I wonder how common this is. While writing with the Apple “pencil” o

H/W components don't share state, which is why H/W parallelism easier. Where they do interact with each other, we have to either design fully async logic or worry about metastability. In contrast all kernels are basically all

I just noticed two missing defines. Sorry about that. Fixed below. I did some testing and seems like this generates much less code at least with clang (with -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer) than geocar's much briefer solution! #define VA_

Clever use of `__VA_ARGS__`! Does gcc remove `_a` as well? Well, may be it was just my implementation: #define mkmacro(func, ...) mkmacro_(func, VA_NUM_ARGS(__VA_ARGS__)) #define mkmacro_(func, nargs) mkmacro__(func, nargs) #defin

Assuming you are terminating strings with a NUL, for 0: it may be advantageous to R/W mmap with copy-on-write (i.e. MAP_PRIVATE). Then you can overwrite LF or CRLF with a NUL.

Speaking of literature, have you read Edward A. Abbott's 1884 book "Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions"? Some of the comments here make me think of Flatlanders! http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/201

I use a slightly different DO macro. For example, DO(count(v)) v[i]=i; DO(3,4) a+=i*10+j; DO(3,4,5) a[i][k]+=b[i][j]*c[j][k]; Where i,j,k are first, second and third indices. So i in the last example takes values 0..2, for each
