So on the one hand, They Live should not be regarded as 'Cliffs Notes explaining the oppressive power structures underpinning the so-called civilized world.' But on the other, The Thing is about 'the ways we are undone by our

I remember flying to Munich once from Cape Town and a German colleague guessed the flight was three to four hours. I said no, it was over eleven hours and he was shocked. I laughed and told him to check out a globe sometime - not a map - so

Naah. IT and the sciences are merit based, always have been and always will be. No one cares about your race, gender or whatever. Have you done the work? Are you competent? Great. Welcome. See for example Jeri Ellsworth, Roberta Williams, M

It's a pity lead is so poisonous over time because white pigment made from lead is just superior for oil painting. Skin tones in particular glow in a way that just doesn't happen with other kinds of white. I bought a small quantit

Apart from the DNS cache poisoning attack, Dan did some vital followup work on the Sony CD rootkit discovered by Mark Russinovich. Sony's early defence was that it wouldn't affect the Internet. Dan showed using DNS caches that it

Very very impressive work. I wonder if it would be feasible for vendors to implement the interpreter in hardware in future.

Makes sense. I mean, you can't call it global warming any more when the US has just had its coldest winter in 30 years. Climate emergency. Very catchy.

Demos are almost always generated and displayed at runtime. The music is composed of samples generated at runtime by additive synthesis which is just adding waveforms of differing frequencies together when you get down to it. It doesn'

Goodness knows why my original comment is being downvoted. The formal term is 'primary program refinement' and can be found all over the place such as here: http://p.web.umkc.edu/pgd5ab/cs_451/HW3/hw

So what you're saying is: “Lisp is worth learning for the profound enlightenment experience you will have when you finally get it; that experience will make you a better programmer for the rest of your days, even if you never actually

This bothered me as well. The only thing I can think of is that one of the calls to libc functions is consuming rax off the stack. The code as displayed by GodBolt is the code as generated by clang so it's not an error there. EDIT: I&#
