This is interesting—my observations on Windows 10 (mostly with a layout arranged via MSKLC) have always been that it does some kind of QWERTY-on-Control thing which I'd actually like to turn off but never found out how to; my keyboar

Among other things, avian brains have a higher density of neurons than mammalian ones! https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822%282... seems to be a primer on some of the differences.

Not the parent commenter, but I've encountered “people from the counterparty organization get confused and wonder whether you're part of it too / pretending to be part of it too”. This can be mitigated with some obscuring tra

> LuaJIT is really good software, it is hard to beat it as its own game. Pallene tries to get its edge elsewhere: it tracks Lua 5.4, whereas LuaJIT diverged around 5.1 and will stay that way forever. Last I saw (admittedly some years ago

In binary floating point, 4.0 = 1.0×2^2, so the mantissa of the multiplicand will stay the same (being multiplied by 1.0) and the exponent will be incremented by 2. Scaling by exact integer powers of 2 preserves the relative accuracy of the

I would like to half-seriously recommend that you overwrite a different character than the first when mangling the environment variable name. Specifically one beyond the third, so as to stay within the LD_ namespace (not yours exactly, bu

The first part is true for ‘normal’ string literals, but there's suffixed string literals since I think C++17: "foo"sv is a std::string_view if you have operator""sv from std::string_view_literals visible.

Yeah, I agree that the way that comes out is really awkward. The first line there is reporting the context from in the Task module (because task.ex includes it explicitly in the exit call), and then the second is reporting a strerror-like t

Bletch, I had the wrong version of the documentation bookmarked—here's the revised relevant sentences from https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/1.16.2/Task.html#await/2 (my system has 1.16.2): > If the timeout i

Task.await tries to exit the calling process when the timeout hits, but IEx traps the exit in that process, so it doesn't terminate and thus the linked task process doesn't either, I think? If I do all of this wrapped in another

FWIW, in C++11, a class C can similarly cooperate to enable reconstructing a shared_ptr from a raw one by deriving from std::enable_shared_from_this<C>.

Do you not count LispWorks in this? I haven't had a chance to play with the commercial Lisps myself, but anecdotally it seems to still have some currency.

Asking for “set language français” at the beginning of a session seems to vastly increase the chance of responses barrelling through the user's ‘turn’ and initiating various ‘commands’ on their own. I wonder whether that's causing

I agree; I meant “including” in the non-restrictive sense, not “including only”. Stack allocation is a special case where the lifetimes are arranged in a convenient way—see also escape analysis in languages where stack allocation isn't

I have to wonder whether some of this is semantic drift over time or context. My recollection since undergrad (a few decades ago) involves treating “garbage collection” as referring to tracing garbage collection, and “reference counting” as

Where are you getting this? My memory is the exact opposite: XMPP targeted one-to-one messages first and then MUC was a sort of weird bolt-on.

Not the OP, but I have a similar desire, not because I make lots of progress, but mostly because progress comes from many different directions, and then in some ways because I make little enough progress at a given time, between other t

The usual way to generate an exit status for a signal that normally terminates the process is to explicitly unset the handler and then raise the signal yourself. In C, the latter half of that can be done with the ‘raise’ function; on (at le

Exactly equidistant, in fact. 5×2 = 10 ∴ log(5) + log(2) = log(10) ∴ 0.5log(10) − log(2) = log(5) − 0.5log(10).

Light correction: hexl-mode is the hex editor proper. hexlify-buffer called by itself just does a transformation to a side-by-side hex/chars view; it doesn't set up for hex-editor navigation or transforming back to binary on save

That's the same thing I was getting at, yes. When I said “KEY_Q in the header file”, I was referring to the #define that attaches it to a number (edit to clarify: in linux/input-event-codes.h, specifically, which seems most likely
