There's no minor and major. All releases are equivalent but the first number is bumper when the second becomes large enough, which happens every 2-3 years.

That's just because it lets the developer control the distribution of the app without having to find packagers in at least four distros (Fedora, Debian, OpenSUSE, Arch). Using Flatpak for the GNOME libraries is a design choice for Flat

Personally I use Flatpak for two Electron apps (VSCode and Ferdium) and one GTK+ app that was never had issues with major versions (LibreOffice). GNOME apps in my case are all installed via rpm, so my experience seems to be the opposite. GT

Kind of since you don't have the B-F tritone. There is a lot more instability, and the resolution to C is a lot stronger, in G7 than in F/G or similar chords.

Also because when you add diminished chords you get lots of double flats (for example C-E♭-G♭-B♭♭ vs C-E♭-F♯-A)

Sometimes the context even includes the genre. A F/G might be written G9sus4 on a jazz lead sheet or G11 for a pop song. The latter is somewhat incorrect, since the 3rd is pretty important in a G11 voicing. Without other context I woul

Recursive descent uses the processor stack as the parsing stack.

You can choose: learn recursive descent parsing, or keep on being confidently incorrect.

You're conflating parsing of expressions with operator precedence parsers (aka Pratt parsers). IronCalc uses a recursive descent parser, and Pratt parsers are an optimization of recursive descent parsers. Pratt parsers have one functio

The function for asterisks and slashes is called from the functions for pluses and minuses. The result is that asterisks and slashes are evaluated before pluses and minuses. It's actually very easy to understand once you get the idea.

Apart from the passion there are very limited points of contact between John and the others. Most of the "more famous" miracles or parables are in either John or the others (either all of them, or some of them), but almost never i

Either way it's phonetic; it's not based on either the radicals or the strokes. Even though there are input methods that use those, they are not commonly used.

Understood, and my point is that user Someone suggested "bif" as a way to avoid testing bigint performance; but fib[15] does not test bigint performance. So using bif is unnecessary and potentially harmful if it's optimized t

It's handwritten and hand-obfuscated assembly, the author didn't know the effect of the carry but knew it was deterministic; and the code worked. Though it's not clear to me where the corruption after the second MLA instructi

Indeed, the Fibonacci sequence is in the original benchmark and Fib(15) is not benchmarking big integer performance. It should have the same characteristics as the always-zero function.

In Europe high school is when you get a generic education, and in college you choose your topic. So if you are a languages major you'll have no more math, if you're a STEM major you'll have no more history, if you're a p

Fib(15) is just 610, so no big int involved. As a quick double-check, fib(n)< 2^(n-1) and 2^14 is 16384.

I wonder if that wouldn't be served better by storing the excess solar production into a flow battery, or similar storage dimensioned to serve a city.

Of the methods listed on Wikipedia only ISB is a true AM. All the others use phase modulation for the difference signal, as an easy way to achieve compatibility with mono AM receivers; and PM is basically the integral of FM. Wikipedia says
