Your personal preferences are understandable, but they should not be the basis for public policy. Most households in New York do not even own a car. Using a 200 hp machine to move one 70 kg person is extremely wasteful. Not to mention the d

Bollards in the middle of the road are dangerous. The solution is to segregate the bike lane by putting it on the right of the parked cars, next to the pedestrians. This means that cyclists will cross together with the pedestrians and that

I have arch on two machines and I must say that I kind of regret it at this point. Every update it's a coin toss whether there'll be a regression in some package and pacman seems very limited as a package manager. It basically g

True, but John Yoo is lawyer than had been thinking about his ideas (read: rationalizations) for years, written books, taught classes and so on. You couldn't really expect Stewart to win the argument...

I'm sure President Trump would appoint a justice that would be fond of the "unitary executive" theory. The 10th Circuit rejected that theory (Blinder, Robinson & Co., SEC v., 855 F.2d 677 (10th Cir. 1988)), but who knows

If you encode them in UTF-8, they are allowed. In UTF-8, to represent a given code point, only the first code unit can be in the range 0x00 to 0x7F. So if you're reading UTF-8 content and find a byte with value 0x00-0x7F, you can be su

Right. Implementation defined, not undefined. Still not great for portable code, which is what the article is all about.

Isn't another problem of "ptrdiff_t diff = (uintptr_t)ptrOld - (uintptr_t)ptrNew;" that you're assigning an unsigned value to a signed variable? If ptrNew is larger than ptrOld this can give a very large value via wrappi

Since this is mostly undecipherable for me, I'll just quote: «A common method of uniformly distributing fine particles in a matrix is to make the best use of highly potent nucleation sites for inducing the precipitation of the particle

That is not necessarily true. The test results (e.g. travis, but you can use for instance Jenkins for your Github repository) shown next to the merge button are the result of a merge between the pull request branch and the branch you want t
