Whether evaluating that expression results in undefined behaviour also depends on the basic execution character set and the bit width of the machine byte.

On the contrary: the sizeof operator is the only way to generally get the size of an arbitrary array (with e.g. no known sentinel to mark its last element) in C. You couldn't use a function instead even if you wanted to. Many other lan

Many languages with distinct boolean types do not require that the condition expression in an if statement evaluates to that type, and hence do nothing to prevent that error.

Which opening could you pour gasoline in a Tesla Model 3 to achieve anything else than a fire hazard? Any amount of those "33.7 kWh" gallons will get you exactly zero miles – how is that more efficient?

You are very mistaken. The ones covering the bill are the ones paying for the EU recovery fund, of which Spain was the biggest recipient.

It's tax payer funded all right, just not by Spanish tax payers (if there are any). Spain was the biggest recipient of the (obviously unnecessarily large) EU COVID recovery fund, and with all those billions burning in their pockets, th

Most countries don't expect publicly funded transportation to turn a profit, or even break even. The reason Spain has to find new avenues to waste money is due to the unnecessarily large EU recovery fund, of which Spain was the biggest

Probably not. You'd need a lot more than a petty switch to grammar regarding indentation to convince people to switch to an unproven alternative, though.

AVX-512 in consumer chips was not new to Alder Lake, though; the previous generation did support it without any workarounds (there were no E-cores to disable to begin with). Intel may have changed course regarding AVX-512 but I wouldn'

I guess that would be a no-brainer if someone considered anything that made Windows more like Linux an improvement, but they probably don't. People in general feel most comfortable with the Desktop shell they are used to (the little di

A condition which would affect 6e-6%, or 0.000006% of the US population (330M) would affect 20 persons. 200000/330M = 0.0006 = 0.06%.

For me, what you're referring to is one of the reasons I don't like to use Windows as a desktop OS (because you need to hunt for these relatively small target areas to organise multiple windows). The alternative which I greatly pr

GP's snippet was in Rust (not that I know if it's valid Rust code). However, in C++ std::thread is a class and it does not have a static member function sleep_until. (However, std::this_thread, which is a namespace, does have such

I must've read too much into you mentioning that particular year (being of course the one with the Blaster's infamous if unintentional countdown to reboot due to XP's RPC service crashing). For me, it might've well been

That comparison is slightly misleading because the German price includes the local VAT. Tax-free price (unless I'm mistaken) would be approximately 436 euros, so more than in the US, but not 150 dollars more.

The syntax highlighting in Fx dev tools has the same mistake as the article in that they only recognize the "close comment" token if it's at the beginning of the line, even though the spec clearly states that it may be preced

The two are certainly not always equivalent (for example if f is an object). `<!-f' might be always equivalent to `<!+f', though.

I have a ~110 PPI monitor (the currently ever so popular 2560×1440 at 27"), and the first thing I'd change about this would be to have it be around 90-95 PPI like all the monitors I've had since the 90s. There's not a si

What I also noticed was one of the problems the author claims that "imperative" style loops have: >Off-by-one bugs are more probable. For example, you might write i<22 instead, and then the loop would end at 21, not 22. Iron

If you go back and re-read the subsection Statements (and perhaps other sections of the README as well), I'm pretty sure you'll find a use case you might have not yet understood.

No you do not. Also, unless I'm mistaken, git uses the system pager for pagination and that happens to be less on almost all modern Linux systems (and many others).
