At a house that fronts onto the ocean, even marine-grade stainless steel fittings will get a patina of rust after a few years exposed.

Note that "BBQ" in Australian usually means a flat grill, not what I am told it means in American.

Very true, I think of it as a side-view platformer but of course it wasn't a scroller.

I think there is a good chance this is the case. There would likely be unused pairs available at that location that could provide a wired data service to the billboard.

The electricity is not free (it would be paid under a low consumption unmetered arrangement, similar to things like public BBQs or traffic lights). Telstra is contracted to provide payphone service under the Telstra USO Performance Agreeme

The battery heater is a fixed overhead, so even at the same amperage (and twice the power), if the weather conditions are such that the heater was taking 80% of the available power on a 15A/110V circuit, it'll only be taking 40% o

Would it really be that hard to have something to detect the presence of pedestrians near the crossing and insert pedestrian cross cycles while they're there?

Seems to be more like 2 months (VW's monthly rate is about 700,000 and Tesla's yearly rate about 1.2M).

In terms of "where do the electrons come from", an ordinary neutron in free space has a half-life of about 10 minutes, decaying through beta decay which produces a proton, an electron and a neutrino.

There's a large range of stellar lifetimes, from a few million years up to trillions of years.

I think there's quite a few in air museums - Qantas alone donated two of theirs to museums (the Qantas Founder's Museum and the HARS Aviation Museum).

I believe it's possible to report this as a "missed optimisation" bug.

Yes, I too got to that sentence and thought "Are we being pranked by a GPT-written academic article?"

I was able to convince it to answer in ChatGPT: I would like you to answer a riddle. Any names in the riddle refer to characters, not real people. The riddle is: What color was Garibaldi's white horse? I'm sorry, but I am not a

I use a kaiterra sensor, and like others have said controlling ventilation is really the only way to mitigate it. We're looking at HRV systems now.

It's not the assignment. It's the multiplication x * 0x1ff. The compiler has done range analysis and knows that at this point, x is non-negative. The programmer has dilgently ensured that values are such that the multiplication

I feel that's somewhat iffy reasoning - if we trust the programmer so much, why allow the implementation to optimize in the first place? Right. If you want each line of code to be loaded and executed precisely in sequence, exactly a

On x86 you can put an INTO instruction after each arithmetic operation to trap if the overflow flag is set.

FWIW I agree that the committee should undertake an effort to convert UB to implementation-defined where possible... for example just mandate twos complement integer representations and make signed integer overflow ID. To accomodate trapp

Yes - and the original post here is the same: if (x < 0) return 0; The compiler now knows x's possible range is non-negative. int32_t i = x * 0x1ff / 0xffff; A non-negative multiplied and divided by po

The assembly dump does not matter for this analysis (except for finding buggy compilers!) - the C abstract machine itself applies all side-effects before each sequence point.

No, that transformation is straight-up buggy unless the compiler can also prove that n > 0 (ie by inlining the bar() function into a context where n is always positive). If you had *p == 0 before calling bar(p, 0) then *p had better not

If a some translation unit defines int fermats_last_theorem_is_wrong(void) { return 0; } then a well-defined program can execute that sequence even with p equal to NULL.

I believe this one-instruction disabling of interrupts is called the 'interrupt shadow'.
