That's why you combine it with -Wno-... as appropriate on a per-project as well as per-file basis in addition to a simple way to disable warnings completely. When using make, it could look something like this: CC := clang CFL

He might have. In pre-nomination polling, Sanders did significantly better than Clinton against Trump. He'd also have gotten his share of anti-establishment voters and arguably would have brought to the table far less baggage.

* A) Complete is when the compiler(s) actually implement all of the spec, for starters.* The spec was frozen last Christmas, with a corresponding compiler release.

Is that a dig at climate research? If anything, more likely string theory.

Longer than infinite? In an expanding universe, objects can be separated by a cosmic horizon. Nevertheless, from the comoving perspective, they may very well still move towards each other - but without ever meeting up. However, if you ext

Something like obj.rename(newName). This might seem like a trivial change, but the underlying idea is that we're no longer dealing with a setter only affecting one particular field, but an abstract message that may affect arbitrary int

Just to clarify, Eich did not get fired - he got pressured into resigning. Note that people in fact have been fired (in some cases, allegedly - I'm too lazy to verify all the stories I just googled) for being gay, supporting Occupy, su

Instead of an expanding balloon, just use a flat piece of paper as your model of space-time (after dimensional reduction): Due to conformal flatness of the FLRW metric, it's possible to represent the Hubble flow as vertical lines, the

The current assumption of the cosmological standard model is spatial flatness, which is compatible with the observations. In principle, space could still curve back on itself on a large enough scale, but assuming there's no big crunch

Physically, the Hubble 'horizon' is mostly meaningless. What you have in mind is the cosmological event horizon. Both can be defined in terms of certain velocities reaching c: The hubble sphere is located where the change in prope

But regarding its philosophical implications, being a simulated person is a lot like being a person someone else dreamed up.

Nearby galaxies will only disappear for practical purposes: Their light emission will continue to reach us, it just gets increasingly redshifted. In fact, if we were able to detect them, we would continue to discover more and more galaxies,

The observable universe is finite as according to our current models, light emitted beyond a certain distance will never reach us. The global size beyond the oberservational limit is harder to tackle. You're right that even though th

"Sorry, you're unborn child was killed by a virus we could have stopped but we spent that money on a rocket." This kind of argument always gets to me. There's no inherent value in money, it's just a means to the e

Personally, I'm interested to see what happens to conformal gravity. The theory is able to fit galactic rotation curves without a need for dark matter[1], but supposedly leads to inconsistent results when trying to do the same for grav

Most professions require more training. Not policework in the US, though: From what Google tells me, training often lasts less than 6 months. In comparison, in Germany it's normally 30 months, but it can vary from state to state (in

I don't understand why people say javascript is such an awful language. Frankly, because from a language design perspective, it is - or at least used to be: Bad scoping rules (implicit global declarations by default, function instead

No, it's generally taken as a proof of vacuum energy. However, it's arguably just the van der Waals force in disguise.

And that the brains that support our minds are part of said bodies. Eg corvids with their tiny little bird brains are apparently capable of feats of intellect that are very human-like in various ways.

Faddeev–Popov ghosts in particular are artifacts of covariant quantization in the path integral formalism. One way to think of them is as a kind of Jacobian determinant of the transformation to physical degrees of freedom.

And with the more important nitpick that this Lagrangian is a quantum operator rather than a number. I don't think that's true when dealing with the formulation in terms of path integrals as we do here...

Mutability of a variable and const qualification of the target type of the pointer used to store its address are independent, and language semantics really only care about the former.
989.
by cygx 10y ago
The author does not think that, all he does is point out correctly that const-qualifying a pointer's target type cannot be used for optimization purposes as it does not make any actual guarantees about object mutability. Note that in c

`const int * ` and `int const * ` are semantically identical, ie `const int const * ` is a duplicate declaration.
