Why do you assume most men are worried by hair loss mainly because of women pressure? I and most men I've discussed this with just prefer how we look with hair and wish our hair was thicker. Otherwise I'd just shave.

But they got the type decay right without introducing further user-defined conversions, unlike this proposal. The syntax is ad hoc, thus so should be the typing rule.

One is a writing system that depicts concepts with classy strokes and has thousands of years of history; the other is a bunch of redundant Fisher-Price looking drawings without semantics added to Unicode by a corporate committee.

Is it still art forgery if the originals didn't exist? I think it's unclear whether these prototype designs were ever real or part of the scam.

Only if we're willing to take for granted that a call to getenv invalidates the previous one. POSIX allows it, but I'm concerned about runtimes scheduling user tasks on the same thread. If current platforms are safely making a cop

by debugnik 2y ago
The only thread-safe way to implement getenv/setenv as they currently exist is to leak the previous state when setenv allocates, such that existing pointers stay valid. The existing API simply lacks a mechanism to synchronize correct
707.
by debugnik 2y ago
No amount of locking can make the getenv API thread-safe, because it returns a pointer which gets invalidated by setenv, but lacks a way to release ownership over it and unblock setenv safely (or to free a returned copy). So setenv's e
