It doesn't imply a latency drop though.

No, applications can and do trap either ^z or the signal it generates (not sure which). I'm a vi user [0] but I'm pretty sure emacs requires ^z^z to STOP. [0] autocorrect lol of the day: "I'm a vi[rgin]"

I try hard to train myself that ^[ is ESC, but of course only in situations where jj doesn't work. =)

This reminds me of some dev tools (can't remember which ones) which require the user to do something like set an environment variable to "YES_THIS_IS_A_TERRIBLE_IDEA". If the switch to disable aircraft automation involves suc

Which already exists in Rust in the form of... wait for it... the Drop trait. It's the same thing.

Yep, that first number is way too high since the federal government doesn't need to be involved with those things.

Luckily, the existence of confused or insincere persons doesn't provide any evidence against my claims. Any pair of people who believe themselves to have a sincere disagreement about whether mathematics is science are in fact both mist

Mathematicians and philosophers generate hypotheses and test them using the tools of their discipline as well, which often includes statistical reasoning to guide more rigorous analysis. The difference is that in true science there is no mo

And at my university the philosophy department was in the college of arts and sciences; does that make philosophy science?

That's a terrible definition of science. All of human knowledge can be captured that way, including philosophy, which is clearly not science, even if people are so misinformed to call math science.

by belovedeagle 9y ago
Computer science is in no way a field of science. Not even close. It's a branch of mathematics. Science is the practice of generating and testing putative facts using experimental evidence. Computer science and mathematics do not rely

Sounds like the SSA are the ones refusing to accept his status, but I guess headlines aren't allowed to criticize them .

SCOTUS rulings are not yes-no votes. There are any number of opinions written and justices who took part in the case (usually all of them) will sign on to one of these opinions, while sometimes noting that they largely agree with another on

SCOTUS rulings are somewhat more complicated than yes-no votes. There can be any number of opinions written, and every Justice involved with the case will essentially sign on to one of these opinions (while possibly noting that they largely

Better lesson? Use zsh, where variables don't need to be quoted because they're expanded as a single shell word.

It's impressive how the article is reporting "as of 1pm" in SF, at 12:30 PDT...

Ah, well... point-free style is going to be more-or-less possible in any decent functional language; it (or rather, functional composition) is one of those things like "while loops" in imperative languages which, if absent, would

Yes, yes, but have they finally given a human -understandable definition for BFM and related instructions? Because there's a really straightforward one possible but all of the current instructions are so misleadingly described that I

While I suspect you're correct in this instance, that's not actually the point I was making. A lot of people have been going around the past few days saying, "I accepted a $20 voucher for my cancelled flight; was that illegal

I dunno; if you think that this is mere "exchange of opinions" where facts don't matter and people can just make shit up (I'm not saying you are, but that's the natural conclusion of such an attitude) then it's

That just goes to show that Ubuntu and friends are not serious production OS. In what world is extended vulnerability to months-old bugs a legitimate prerequisite for production viability?

So what you're saying is, "if your use-case doesn't support kmalloc then shut up and go away, no statics for you!"? That's ridiculous, inappropriate, and generally unhelpful.

Sorry, but you're rather sure of yourself when it's not clear whether you understand the constraints kernel writers are operating under. On many platforms simply enumerating valid RAM addresses where a heap may be constructed, let

Of course police ignored that; if they'd listened they'd have lost their chance to play 007 or soldier or whatever else they like to think of themselves as.
