You can get specially made summer suits made out of light and breathable material like linen. Obviously you wouldn't wear a whole 3 piece suit in the middle of a 40 degree summer day. But the reality is that if you need to wear a suit

After some coworkers complained I bought some o-rings for my brown-switch keyboard. It's much quieter although there are now other keyboards in the room that aren't quietened. Still I like the newer quietened version, so I'm

There are limits to overdraw facilities, sure. But they are also included by default in many accounts.

Or the bank can just automatically give you an overdraft for that amount, add some fees because you accessed that facility, and require you to pay the full amount. After all, they're just being helpful in managing your money and paying

A 5k fine is still significant, especially if they can apply it for each act of non-compliance. So if they ask you to disclose information that you don't want several times in a single day (and slightly changing what exact information

I used to have decent ADSL2+ while living in Inner Suburb Sydney, I got close to 20mbit/s. Now I am living in Poland and have 250/20 unlimited for less than a third of the price. The whole NBN project just irritates me at how it h

So one of the reasons is that it's following a bool variable, which size is not fixed, but are usually 1 byte. So even if the class itself was aligned the buffer within would be unaligned. The other is that the alignment of a char buff

by daemin 9y ago
This won't work well with types that need alignment. It might be better not to have the internal buffer of characters but instead have an anonymous union of both left and right types. Also Expected is not quite the same thing as this.

It's more like paying a company like RedHat to do this work managing and testing OSS for you.

They bought the company that made OneNote, so I believe it was already a product called OneNote.

Post codes in Australia are just 4 numbers, so when buying subway tickets in NYC, I just put in 10000 or something (I believe that's close enough to the local code?).

I'm wondering if anyone has tried to use another language - I'm thinking Ruby - as a pre-processor for C++ code. I know people have pre-processed C++ code with various tools - for example Qt - but I'm thinking of just replaci

I guess you could do it in space as long as you could have a sphere of molten glass floating, then immediately surround it with water from all sides. My reasoning is that the tail is formed because the molten glass is dropped into the water

So the ad has worked, in that it has raised awareness and you know of the product. For the record I do find those annoying, but I often let them roll so the content creator gets that cash. What I do find annoying are the really long ads, on

This behaviour is one of those cache-memory-leaks. Where even though memory is reachable it is still effectively leaked because it's soaked up by some data structure and not released to the rest of the system. So it's not a tradit

I am wondering, what kind of impact would the wind have on these projectiles? Or even on ballistic missiles? I would imagine a nuke having such a large explosion that missing the target by a kilometre won't matter too much. But with a

If the Russian satellite is a secret, and the Americans steal it secretly, then of course they would get away with it. It's like a thief stealing from another thief.

Read the article again, take a look at the code. The author is not complaining about Windows Explorer being able to parse and display metadata from PNG files. The author is complaining about how much embedded metadata there is inside PNG fi

The article was talking about adobe image metadata embedded in the explorer.exe executable itself, as metadata inside some png images that explorer uses in its interface. It isn't talking about the metadata columns for files.

It does. It's like the U.N is afraid of looking islamaphobic so they allow one of the more barbaric regimes to join these councils. As N.N.Taleb says, the most intolerant will win.

I have to say I do find it disheartening that everything is aiming for a subscription model. Software, food, etc. I know that it is a very profitable business model but it does make me wonder if I really want to live in a world where everyt

How easy would it be to just cut out the top of the bag with the QR code and stick it there? Then the machine would squeeze anything inside it within the limited shelf life of that bag. Jokingly I can even see 'the mafia' using it

You can always allocate memory big enough for a the payload plus the link structure without the links actually being inside of the payload. Just make the first part of memory contain the links and immediately afterward you have the payload.

I think the statement refers to when already shutting down the program. In that case you don't need to worry about freeing OS managed resources as the OS will do that for you when your program exits. Which kind of makes sense but it is
