In this case, b is a pointer that does not point to a valid address. You can't memset(b, 0, 100), or do any of the other regular pointer things with b. It feels like you're introducing a million edge cases.

"Falsehoods programmers believe about X" articles inevitably become a discussion about niche anthropology facts. No programmer has ever cared about Lady Day when writing a program. And if they did, by definition, they would unders

Except they are using an ancient, bespoke runtime. JS sucks, but V8 is an incredible piece of engineering. That is true. But they aren't using V8.

You will always have to trust someone. Having more options when choosing who you trust is a good thing. Does that make sense to you?

Sorry, maybe I was not clear. Assuming you are correct, I am saying the generator should produce 10kW of power, and OP is suggesting that the generator would generator < 10kW. I'm saying the generator should keep up with the energy

I clearly stated it was a crime. But it was not robbery. There are other kinds of crimes.

But why include the gas engine at all if it doesn't extend your highway range? Keep your small <100 mile battery pack, skip the extra cost and weight of an engine.

He withdrew money from his own account. In order to do so, he coerced the bank teller at gunpoint. It's some sort of violent crime, but not robbery.

I don't see the issue. Let's put all subtleties about Unix directories to the side. Zoom wanted to change the permissions of a file so that only root could access it. The obviously correct way to do that is to simply change the pe

Yup, this is a very common misconception. In Unix, directories are not folders. Directories are literally a directory, like a phone book. It lists files and their location on disk. A directory doesn't contain any other files. Moving a

Whatever library or tool you use will just call the `rename` syscall. As you would expect, rename simply renames a file. It deletes the old directory entry and creates a new one. If you're using a library or tool to do this for you, yo

As a task runner, why is it better than a bash script? Being able to run tasks in parallel is like the most fundamental feature I would expect from a task runner. Being able to skip over tasks that don't need to be done is a close seco

I don't understand the use case of `just`. It drops every useful feature from `make`. It doesn't look like it has parallelism or the ability to not needlessly re-run tasks. Even if `just` was installed on a standard Linux box, I d

Are you missing a 'k' or 'M' on those units? 8 cents per watt-hour is obscenely expensive. A hibernating Mac m1 would cost over a dollar an hour. Just to hibernate.

The really cool thing about Federalism is that California can make it's own laws about what happens in California. On a Federal level, California has to share power with the other 49 states. California should not be able to dictate fed

You're greatly exaggerating, the difference between New York and Kansas elector-per-capita is less than a factor of two. But to answer your question, yes. The people of Kansas, on a federal level, should have meaningful power. Federal

The EU does exactly that with the counsel and the commission. It doesn't make sense to compare the USA as a whole to other, much smaller countries. Federalism doesn't make sense on a small scale.
