Static linking uses the DT_SONAME of a linked library to create an entry in the DT_NEEDED table. The name in the DT_NEEDED table is used by the dynamic loader to search for a matching filename to load in. So in a very indirect sense the dyn

Unsigned integer overflow is not undefined in C or C++. You can rely on how it works. Signed integer overflow, on the other hand, is undefined. The compiler is allowd to assume it never happens and can re-arrange or eliminate code as it see

No. Well, yes, in that if the type of an object is dynamic, it's possible that certain functions are resolved at runtime usually through a "virtual table". The static type of an object is only known at compile time, and all t

Paenibacillus larvae is a rod-shaped bacterium, so the treatment is an antibiotic. Most people don't understand the difference between vaccines and antibiotics it's all just doctor stuff.

You would need to irradiate the bees. The bees are the expensive part. Burning everything with regular chemical fire is cheaper.

I wouldn't trust it. AFB is, well, foul. It's about the most satanic affliction imaginable. Destroying everything with extreme prejudice within a 2 km radius using fire seems right to me. The bees themselves can carry the spores,

This sounds suspiciously like the "you should work for the exposure" argument given in the arts industry. Landlords don't accept expore for rent and grocers don't accept exposure for food. It's just a misunderstandi

Hmm. The MSVCRT.DLL/MSVCRTD.DLL not being binary compatible between releases of Visual Studio is the same thing, except of course you can't even combine some modules compiled for debug with modules compiled without debug in the sa

Hardly speed or UX. Type a quick command on the CLI yo do any of that stuff and it's finished before you can even use you arrow keys to move between various regions of the screen and move your eyes around the work area to confirm every

When I saw them (back in 83, it's been a long strange trip) it looked more like one mic was on top of the other with about a 6 inch separation.

I have current bushes. Every year, one day in June, the cutworms emerge and strip all the bushes of the foliage in about 8 hours leaving nothing but bunches of red berries dangling from naked sticks. It doesn't kill the plants, but nei

One single fungus caused Ireland to lose half its population in 1848 and caused revolutions to spread all across Europe that same year. Now multiply that by the thousands of different fungi found in a typical garden.

The only F keys I use are F11 and F12, and only by accident when I'm trying to backspace. And don't get me started on the capslock key.

Ah, but there is a known strong correlation between poverty and crime, and strong correlation between race and poverty. Any conflation of correlation with causation between race and crime is exclusively an attempt to obfuscate a racist poli

That's so sad. Here in Ontario Canada I can walk into a local neighbourhood cannabis store (one of many on every block, it seems) and make a purchase using my debit or credit card. I'm not sure if any of them even keep a cash floa

I get a strong reaction after I remove the tick (like a little necrotic volcano that itches like mad and takes about 18 months for the blemish to disappear completely). While the tick is there, I usually feel only nothing and find them by i

Yes, memory is memory in the same sense that exponentiation is just repeated addition of 1 to number. The article isn't really talking about memory so much as discussing storage, which is often colloquially called 'memory' by

This. They crawl around on you for a couple of hours looking for a nice quiet warm moist place to tuck in, which is why permethrin works. Also, they like quiet warm moist places. Yes, especially there.

Why would you not believe it? It's normal where I live too. I definitely get dozens of bites every year and have been formally diagnosed with and treated for Lyme twice because it's pretty easy to miss one. Tick bites are very oft

This is untrue. Borelliosis is treatable at any time: it's caused by a spirochete very similar to syphilis. The second time I had it it was diagnosed about 10 months after infection began, and a simple course of 100 mg Doxycycline for

Most of the Voyager acceleration was done by using gravity assist ("slingshot flybys" -- effectively falling toward a large mass like Jupiter and missing). As far as I know gravity has not improved or become better since the 1970s

My computer course in high school has a one week turnaround time. Send your punched card deck off Thursday of one week, get the printout back the next Thursday. Two days would have been luxury.

Interesting. Remember when, in order to run a DOS application, you had to edit a config file to tell it which graphics card, sound card, serial port, and printer you had? Also, tweak the jumper on the hardware to select which IRQ they used
