Ah, yes. What I described wasn't reentry. A reentrant function using strtok could exhibit this problem, but it applies more widely than that.

Synchronous reentry is a problem. Say some loop using strtok calls a function... how do you know that that function doesn't use strtok (or call another function that does...). Any use of non-const static variables in general has thi

Whether or not something is "undefined behavior" has nothing to do with the hardware. The C specification says what is specified, what is "unspecified", what is "implementation defined", and what is "unde
305.
by bhk 7y ago
The C standard includes an appendix that lists ~200 examples of undefined behavior. This list does not claim to be exhaustive. Often, what constitutes undefined behavior is non-obvious (and not well justified). For example, when adding two

I agree they are more appropriate. Surely you'd agree there's a lot of room for bias to manifest in a system like this.

Do you really think that it simply excludes predictions with the word "crimes"? Yes, I was seeing "... crimes" when typing for "jared kushner cri". But with other names it shows a complete prediction: "ju

"cri", not "cr". I have two different devices that give different results; one lists "jared kushner crimes". Since it isn't a matter of a single word (crimes) being flagged as disparaging, this blacklist

Infowars being buried so deeply in the "Alex Jones" results is highly suspicious. How can Google's results be so ineffective compared to other search engines? The "Pelosi drunk" results are also markedly different

Yesterday I did a search for "drunk pelosi" videos on duckduckgo and it reported "Sorry, no results here!" (Replacing "pelosi" any other name yields a page full.) Today they have results -- properly vetted

People I know in big pharma companies have told me they first try to reproduce promising academic results before they invest a lot of money in further research, and that 70%+ of the time they fail to reproduce the results. This came up in

It's not that simple. Even when two codons map to the same amino acid, it doesn't mean they have the same implications. One factor is that different codons translate at different speeds, and these can affect how the protein folds

I agree. There are a number of ways to model the process of creating the mixture that will avoid the water vs. wine bias that is the essence of the "paradox" as stated. The main lesson is that the Principal of Indifference is &qu

For one thing, there could be many distinct quantum states which correspond to the same water/wine ratio, so uniformly-distributed quantum states might not correspond to uniformly-distributed concentrations. But more fundamentally, i

The problem is not completely specified. However, in the study of probability and statistics there is a tendency to charge ahead and offer answers to incompletely specified problems, using e.g. the Principle of Indifference. The wine&#x2F

The problem is that "uniform distribution" is hard to define. An even distribution of water/wine values is not the same as an even distribution of wine/water values. Thinking in terms of possible states, you can choose

From what racoons do to evade capture in traps (while still making away with the bait), and the damage they can wreak, apparently driven by curiosity due to no apparent indication of a food reward, I gather that they are remarkably smart.

Can you cite a source for your definition of breach? If you are including cases where the holder of the data voluntarily shares data, I think that is outside of most people's understanding. The app and its developer were authorized,

The data was not compromised by an app. Facebook allowed the app to have access to the data. Guardian and others unfortunately used the term "data breach". My understanding of the term agrees with the first definition I found in
